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

[lochnessmomster]

My kiddos decided to be early birds and got me up at 3 AM....so I came to stalk this thread.  So eager to have my partner and start the hunt!  I already want to know more and thought of more things to share!  For example, I always say I don't collect merch or accessories, but I forgot!  I have an MLP mug and egg cup set that I adooooore and would love more of so I can set a pony table!  I also have a new love for the Rockin' Beat ponies and their guitar combs!  Also, there is one scented something I can have and love - hand soaps!  They aren't lasting enough to make me sick.  I love food scents like fruit.  Also, my favorite seasons and holidays are comig up!  I love Autumn and all things Christmas.  Enough about me, I want hear more from everyone!  Sooooo:

What is your favorite holiday?
Do you like homemade snacks?
Anyone else like to cook/exchange recipes?

Sorry for the rambling, I'm rerouting lack sleep frustration into swap happiness.  And partner, whoever you are...you're going to be one of my birthday presents today!

Your kids woke you up at 3am?? on your birthday??  I would not be a happy camper, lol.  Unless, of course, my kids were up that early because they just loved me SOOOO much and were excited to start the birthday festivities.  In that case I might upgrade to an exhausted-but-happy camper.

How many kids do you have?  I have three.  They drive me crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way.  Life would be too boring otherwise.  I love hand soaps as well, oh my goodness.  How did I forget to mention that?  There are too many lovely things in this world.  Homemade bar soaps at cute little shops always pull me in, not to mention all the amazing scent combos at Bath & Body Works.  I LOVE their mint chocolate hand soap, mmmm!!!

Now on to your little questionnaire:

What is your favorite holiday?  I do love Christmas, but I also really enjoy Thanksgiving (autumn in general!), Easter and my children's birthdays. <3

Do you like homemade snacks?  Yes, especially fudge and cookies.

Anyone else like to cook/exchange recipes?  Absolutely!  Have you ever been involved in a Christmas cookie exchange?  Those are cool, though ashamedly, I have yet to try out any of the recipes I've collected from past exchanges, lol.

While we're waiting for the partner assignments, I have a question for everyone too:
Would you rather have extras that are pony-related, or that have to do with your other interests?
Personally, I think a mix of both would be fun, but I'll be happy with whatever my partner puts together ^_^

Happy Birthday RedLynx!!!  Although I wouldn't be so happy with getting woken up at 3am, but kids are just so sweet.  I have 3 daughters who often wake me up at all hours!!

Ok, questions:
My most favorite holidays is Halloween, I love everything about it!  Costumes, candy and mayhem:)  The trifecta of awesomeness!

I love homemade anything!

I am a home-maker so I'd love any new recipes.

Honestly, I'd love anything my partner chooses to get me, so please don't stress.

Would you rather have extras that are pony-related, or that have to do with your other interests?

There's no way to fail with me.  All ponies would be delightful and other surprises would be fun.  I'm thrilled just to see a box in the mail.

Favorite holiday:  Halloween!

Homemade goodies…yes but am on an evil diet, lol

Cooking…I don’t really like it much, no.

Also…in case I get a vegan partner…what is the difference between vegan and vegetarian again?  What is okay for a vegan and no okay?


Also...who has a birthday within the next two month?  (During the buying phase)

[RedLynx]

Thanks!  I have two, a boy and a girl.  They're only 9 months so they don't know from 'sleeping in' yet.

Hrm, I suppose I'd rather have other items I collect or snacks/sweets rather than just random pony items that aren't on my want list.  I buy lots of the little pony extras...but I get them to give to others, not keep!  So...if in doubt, just load me down with Hershey's milk chocalte, mini snickers, mini Twix, Sour Patch Kids and if you can find them....Cherry Coke or even Sour Cherry Coke gummies and I'll be a happy camper!  Oh...and any kind of lime candy you can find.  So sad that green apple is the new lime.  Always hunting for lime fixes!

Oh, no Tootsie Roll anythings, please!  They make me sad. >.<

*squeeee!!!* I can't wait to start shopping!!

What is your favorite holiday? I just love holidays in general, lol! Christmas is probably my favourite.
Do you like homemade snacks? Depends what it is. I like cookies.
Anyone else like to cook/exchange recipes? I don't get time to cook very often, but when I do I love making cakes, biscuits etc.
Would you rather have extras that are pony-related, or that have to do with your other interests? Either is fine! I love all extras I am sure I will be pleased with whatever I get.
Also…in case I get a vegan partner…what is the difference between vegan and vegetarian again? What is okay for a vegan and no okay? I'm not vegetarian/vegan myself, but vegans do not eat anything that comes from an animal at all, including meat and animal derived ingredients such as gelatine, fish, eggs, milk and other dairy products. Vegetarians vary in what they will eat, but most usually avoid meat and animal derived ingredients but will still eat dairy products and sometimes fish.
Also...who has a birthday within the next two month?  (During the buying phase) Nope, not me. My birthday was in May.

if I remember correctly, vegetarians will still eat animal products (eggs, cheese, milk) just not meat.  vegans will eat nothing with anything from an animal (which includes bizzare things like marshmallows)

my birthday was last month, if that counts!

[michelle53]

My birthday is August 12th, so right in the middle of the swap:)

[Daiyuflower]

My birthday is tomorrow ^_^ But siince we haven't started yet, I don't really expect any birthday items   

[Sternenstaub]

**Can't wait to know who's my partner!!**


What is your favorite holiday?
Christmas/Winter

Do you like homemade snacks?
As long as you use real sugar and no ugar substitue I'm fine with it,

Anyone else like to cook/exchange recipes?
 I love to bake and new receipts are always welcome.

Would you rather have extras that are pony-related, or that have to do with your other interests?
I'm happy with anything.

Also...who has a birthday within the next two month?  (During the buying phase)
No, my birthday was already a week ago.

[Rosette]

Also…in case I get a vegan partner…what is the difference between vegan and vegetarian again?  What is okay for a vegan and no okay?
Vegans are a type of vegetarian.  Others covered the differences, more or less, but some ingredients to look out for, in addition to obvious things like milk and cheese, would be gelatin, carmine, and honey.  If you get me as a partner, I will understand if you don't send food.  Some vegan candies, however, are Twizzlers and Swedish Fish, most Oreo cookies, lots of super dark chocolates.   


Also...who has a birthday within the next two month?  (During the buying phase)
Mine isn't until October 18th.

LOL, well if they're only 9 months old, I suppose they can be forgiven. Mine are 10, 9, and 1, two boys and a little girl. 

I love so many types of candy as well, but the only ones I'd want included in my box are those I can't get here in Scotland (i.e. Butterfingers).  If my partner is someone in the UK, however, as I imagine they will be, they'd be pretty hard pressed to find any of those.  And if they did, they would most likely be paying top dollar (top pound?) for them. 

Lime candies... they have something here called chocolate limes which I absolutely love.  Semi-hard lime-flavoured sweeties with a soft chocolate centre.
