Make a Wish Swap Brag

[Shenanigans]

Those bath salts are so neat! I'm with Lochness, does she still sell them? EDIT- LOL, nevermind I saw Song's post

I apologize for pic spamming the thread, but there was so much awesome stuff in my swap box that I had to take a lot of pictures! My box was from the lovely and talented Marigold! She is super sweet, super thoughtful, and super talented! She is a pleasure to talk to and the box she sent was bursting with love and care and full of everything I love! She knows me better than most of my family members and friends do I think So, on with the pics!

I had an LOL moment when I realized she sent me the same box I sent her It had cute cupcake stickers all over and this is what I saw when I opened it! I squealed when I saw all the prettiness and sparkles and cupcakes! My favorite things

Here are the beautiful things she made (I love getting hand made stuff!) An ADORABLE Mimic plushie, I just LOVE her!! She even has spirals around her horn and I love her little parrot symbol Marigold, she is so sweet! She also drew a picture of a yellow unicorn with pink hair (my fave!!) with a giant cupcake! She made a precious cupcake plush and it has a real cupcake paper on it, how freaking adorable!! I love cupcakes, hehehe. She also drew me a picture of Shenanigans in her hot air balloon which I LOVE and will treasure all of these things! And see those tiny things? Marigold hand painted these precious little magnets with little flowers on them! Is she talented or what?!

And I don't mind if it's colored in at all I enjoyed reading all your little notes in the coloring book and all the packages And lookitlookit! She MADE a coloring book for me! I had to take pics of each page, I just love them! Especially the carousel pony with the doggy symbol!!! And we both just adore sea ponies, aren't they fab? This is one of my favorite things for sure

She sent this cuuuuuute Pinkie bag (that I'm pretty sure she made!) and I was tickled when I saw it I should take it shopping with me when I go down the pony aisle so I can rake all the Blind Bags into it

There was a beautiful box with flowers on it (forgot to get a pic of that!) But inside of it reminded me of a candy box that you get on Valentine's day, only filled with cupcakes! They had cute little sparkly heart charms on them and I hated to tear into them, they were so cute! But I'm glad she made me one to save

They had different things inside like these beautiful pink gems and a beautiful prism to hang in my window! She knew just what I'd love And more cupcakes! Giant cupcake sticker, cupcake party picks, and a cupcake coin purse! Can you tell I love cupcakes? I made sure to save all the little charms too

She sent me these fun extras - I especially love the marigol egg, from Marigold!!! I've never seen one before, but you crack the egg open, water it and you grow marigolds!! I can't wait to have my own beautiful flowers, thank you!! I will think of you every time I look at them We both love Rapunzel and she sent me an adorable Squinkie Rapunzel bracelet! Aww, I love it! And a Disney Princess scratch and design, I can't wait to try it out I've never heard of Squirmles before, but they look neat! I can't wait to dig into all of my extras! There was an eyeball ornament which got a "WTF-LOL" expression from me ('scuse the language, but it's what best describes ) Marigold, it will have a place of honor on my Christmas tree and I will LOL every time I see it! It's a good conversation piece (since I haven't mostly Barbies, Disney Princess, etc on the tree) and I'll get to tell everyone who asks all about my sweet partner And I love the beautiful shells and stones you gave me from your collection! And you can't see it real well, but there's a little glass unicorn in the package at the bottom! I love me some unicorns

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy! I thought this was a super cute way to send them, they remind me of my chihuahua when I stick her in a purse I've got so many new things for my Rapunzel shelf too!

OMG, Port-O-Bella!!! I was jumping up and down when I opened her!!! I sold mine around the beginning of this year and kicked myself for it ever since then! I missed her so much and now I have her again! (She has her hat too, but I forgot to put it on her ) I should have seen this one coming, since you like mushrooms, hehe! She will always remind me of you

BABY CRUMPET! OMG! My sister and I had to pick our jaws up off the floor! I never expected her, I love her! Such a pretty yellow!

Thank you SO MUCH, Marigold! You gave me the most awesome first swap experience! I am blown away by everything you sent me and I love absolutely everything You're so thoughtful, sweet, and kind! Everything fits me perfectly! I am so happy we had each other as swap partners

[Rosette]

Wow.

Incredible swaps!  I love haunting this thread.  Marigold--I can't believe all the beautiful ponies you included.  What a generous, beautiful swap! 

[terabithianprince]

Congrats Shen! Marigold, you put together an amazing box

[DazzleKitty]

Wow! I'm just loving seeing all those pics!

I really love that cupcake themed box. It's so cute.

[Saja]

What an awesome box!!

[Sternenstaub]

WOW Shenanigans - what a pretty box full of goodies and ponies!!
Baby Crumpet and Baby Leafy!! 

Congrats!!

[lochnessmomster]

What was our spending minimum again???  I overspent for my partner, too, but wowowowowow.... You two were well-matched.  You spoiled each other to the moon and back, and you are both so incredibly talented artistically.  As awesome and jaw-dropping as all the ponies have been, I think it's the art and handmade goodies that blow me away the most.  It's nice to see the friendships that have been forged because of this swap.  I only hope I'll be able to do the same.

Also, songtoisis, thanks so much for the link to that girl's Etsy shop.  I sent her a message, so here's hopin'!

[RedLynx]

These boxes are great!  Man, I wish I wasn't allergic to scents!  I want pony bath salts!

[Marigold]

I am so guilty of going overboard, but you'd be surprised, I found really good deals on the ponies and the extras.  Lucky Leaf was a steal really.  It must have been really good timing.  I did a lot of bargain hunting too and some things were "gifts to me to give to Shenanigans" from my Aunt who searches thrift shops for ponies and things for me.  I knew Shenanigans was going to spoil her partner and I wanted to make sure she was just as spoiled.  I had no idea I was going to be that person.    And she was too easy to find things for.  We had so much in common.

Shenanigan's: I did not make the tote bag.  I got it at PonyFair but I think an arena member made it!   I'm glad you like Mimic.  I showed her to my husband and he said "what IS that thing?!".  Of course you can debox!  I thought I would leave the choice up to you.   I love the pictures of your puppies in all the backgrounds.  Very cute.  Especially the ones with the popsicles and Mimic.  Hee hee, sorry about the eyeball, I couldn't resist.  I have a ton of eyeball ornaments and I love giving them out because they are odd, but pretty.

Wow Marigold, I though I packed my box full of goodies...it's nothing compared to yours!!!!!   That is a crazy amazing box:).  I am loving that handmade coloring book!  Just spectacular!!

I'm waiting for m partner to post her brag:)

No individual unboxing pictures from me sorry, I'm at home with a very nasty cold so I pretty much drained all my energy by fetching my box and unwrapping everything + taking these pics. Back to bed for me again! (But I took all the sweets with me!) 

[hathorcat]

Wow! TTT and Hopscotch! Awesome and I see a very cool G1 eraser there as well...congrats Trish and moonflower awesome box

[Marigold]

Oh I love that mommy and baby set.  And the G1 eraser!  So cool!  I must know how the marsh mallows are.  They look good.  Hopscotch is so pretty! 

Please feel better!
