~~ Make A Wish (List) Swap ~~ Complete - THANK YOU EVERYONE!

[Rosette]

The suspense is killing me.  Will I be accepted?  Will I not?  If so, who will my partner be?  What sorts of fun things do I get to track down for them?  I love mail swaps more than anything--and I've never done one through the Arena.  WHAT HAVE I MISSED OUT ON?! 

Either way--I've checked out your wanted lists and can't wait to see what wishes of yours are granted. 

[hyenacub]

Hehe I've looked at the want lists too.    And have several ideas turning in my scary brain.

Allergies: Nickel, smoke.

Fragrances I like: autumnal scents, foodie scents (i.e. coconut, chocolate, marshmallow, pomegranate, lime).  I also like bergamot, frankincense, sandalwood, firewood, and patchouli.  NOT a fan of most florals or vanilla scents that are sickeningly sweet.

Candy/sweeties: In general, I like dark chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, nuts, coconut, nougat, and biscuits.  Some specific favourites would include Reese's Pieces, Butterfingers, Almond Joys, Ghirardelli, and cinnamon chewing gum (none of which are easily found in the UK, unfortunately).  I do like Cadbury as well.  Don't care for licorice, chocolate-orange combos, or gummy sweeties like Haribo as they hurt my teeth.  Having said all of this, I am not particularly hankering for sweeties in my swap box since a) it's summer and I don't want melted chocolate, and b) they weigh down a box pretty quickly.

Hobbies: spending time with my family, traveling, singing, making jewelry, painting, drawing, writing poetry, reading fantasy novels (i.e. Narnia, HP, LOTR, Inkheart trilogy, Neverending Story), playing board games, watching family-friendly films, learning new crafts, painting, keeping up with friends/family on Facebook, decorating, organizing, trying out new recipes, going for walks, spending time on the beach, stargazing, researching the origin of words, laughing at silly jokes, playing peek-a-boo with my baby daughter, having conversations at the dinner table with my husband and sons... I could go on for a while, but I'll stop there, lol. 

Pets: One fluffy, fiery-orange cat named Rosie (after the hobbit who marries Samwise Gamgee in LOTR)

Other collections: children's books with interesting stories and unique illustrations, beagles, owls

Acceptable flaws: some in-ground dirt, minor blush/eye/symbol rubs or scratches, initials on bottoms of hooves, minor dents or nicks, minor tail rust, dry hair, dot-sized marks (especially if on NDS), loose tail washer, a missing plug or two if it's not really that noticeable.

Unacceptable flaws: pony cancer (unless it's on the underbelly), obvious regrind, colour discrepancy (i.e. white head, brown body), pink highlighter marks, missing tails, chew marks, major scrapes/nicks, noticeable trims, irremovable marks, major symbol scratches, smoky smells... basically anything really major.

Favourite colours: It might sound silly, but I really love rainbows. I also like varying shades of blue (duck egg, denim, country blue, starry skies, blue skies, etc.), bright pastels (like many My Little Ponies, lol) or rich colours like gold, cream, royal blue, plum, and cherry.  Black and dark brown are also good. 

Other interests that might help my partner decide what extras to include: I love flavoured coffee and bookmarks, and shops like Bonkers and Ness.  My hobbies and other collections are also great places to look for inspiration.

What I'd prefer in my box: I would be happy with whatever, as long as there's at least one pony on my list in the box Like a lot of other people have said, I would rather have one or two minty ponies than several okay ones.

Customs: I LOVE customs, but I'm also picky and like to choose them myself, so I probably wouldn't want one included.

Hi Guys,
sorry that I was a bit "silent" and not posting much in the last days.
I have had an household accident and I have a massive burn wound on my right arm what is very painful...
So I dragged into the "reading" part here on the board for over a week.
But now I feel a bit better and it's time to work an my wishlist and the the personal questions.

Here weg go with the personal questions:


Personal Questions...
- Do you have any allergies?
I can't eat anything with sugar substitute - so only "real" sugar for me please.

- What are your fragrance and candy/sweeties likes and dislikes?
Fave Candy: Junior Mints, Maltesers, Cadburry Chocolate, Cadburry Crispy Crunch. Cadburry Caramilk, Chocolate with peppermint, hazelnuts or caramell, Snickers ..

Candy Dislikes: Licorice, Harshleys Chocolate

- What are your hobbies? Do you have pets? Do you collect anything else?
My hobbies are: reading, writting letters, baking, my garden, my kitties, ice skating

Besides my little pony I like Care Bears and Hello Kitty Stuff.
And I like anything with cats, wolves or foxes on it.

I'm married and I have 3 cats.
But please no cat food for my kitties - I have 2 kitties who need special food so they can't eat anything else.. but when you like to add anything for my kitties - any kind of cat toys would be fine esp. with catnip.

- What are your favourite colours?
red, black, blue and yellow

- Or anything else which you think will help your partner pick out some extras for you…
Things I like:
- Stationarry
- Cute things with cats, wolves or foxes on it
- G1 or G4 Merchandise
- Dollyhair, Baits or any other stuff for customizing
- Postcards - any and all
- Candles

- And of course can you clarify what flaws are and are not acceptable to you?
I'm a very picky collector and prefer my ponies in mint/near mint condition. I would prefer one minty pony instead of 5 in less good condition...
I'm okay with faded hair, writting marks under the hooves or slight eye scratches.
BUT - no bad marks, age spots, cancer or regrind.

- Would you be happy to have one or two expensive items from your list or lots of little items from your list?
I'm fine with anything as long as the ponies are in good condition anyway if I will get 1 expensive pony or 4 unexpensive ponies. I'm sure my partner will pick out the right things for me.

- Would you like a custom as part of your box?
Yes, why not.

I can't wait! Learning my partner and creating grand plans of a perfect package will be a great distraction from the Pony Comic Con fiasco...
