Private Swap with Saja - got utterly spoiled!

[Libelle]

When I returned home on Sunday night, I found a note in my letter box telling me that the postman had not been able to get hold of me on Saturday morning and that I could fetch a small package from the local parcel pickup station on Monday. I was expecting a swap box from Australia as well as some merchandise from China - either way, this meant pony post! After a fruitless attempt at getting hold of my package in the early afternoon (lunch break between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm), my second attempt in the late afternoon proved more successful.

As soon as I saw the koalas on top, I knew that my swap box from Saja had arrived. (It was my first swap box ever! When Saja replied to my request for a small private swap back in June, I was thrilled.) I tried to accept the parcel from the employee nonchalantly ... and failed. Lol.

Upon opening the box I saw a pile of presents the majority of which looked conspicuously like wrapped G4 brushables. I had a suspicion I might be spoiled rotten with ponies. Today was a rather troublesome day (aren't Mondays always?), so I was really looking forward to being spoiled.

Beneath the layer of wrapped presents hid a small assortment of goodies from Australia: stickers, pencils, an eraser, a pencil sharpener and a tiny koala mascot. They will brighten up my workday considerably!

Two blind bag ponies! I had not talked to Saja about my favourite G4 ponies, but the reference to Skywishes was hiding in a link in my profile and she must have found it, because one of them was Skywishes. The other was Sunny Rays which looks just as adorable with pink hair (blind bag pony) as with purple hair (brushable pony).

I had told Saja that I loved wild flowers and she got Flower Wishes for me - alongside Trixie Lulamoon, Lyra Heartstrings, Sunny Rays and Sweetie Belle. I fell in love with Trixie when I got her for Saja, so I was thrilled to get her as well. (Isn't it funny how we swapped Trixies and Sweetie Belles?)

I loved every hour of this swap (lol, including the slightly nervwracking ones when I wondered whether the swap box I had prepared would be liked and whether it would travel safely to Australia)! Thank you so much Saja for making my first swap such a special one!

What great ponies! And I love the little koala and Australia-themed goodies. Isn't Saja great?

I am so glad it arrived so quick too, I was worried it would take its time! I thought the same thing, how we each bought 2 ponies off our own list for each other!! Totally love swapping with you, and glad im honoured to of been your very first swap partner!!
