Make a Wish Swap Brag

[Shenanigans]

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.   

You went above and beyond, I feel like the luckiest person in the whole swap I'm still just TOTALLY and COMPLETELY in awe! I have been toting around the babies, hehe. I'm so glad I got so many because I really don't have a whole lot of G1 babies! Didn't Hathorcat match us up so perfectly? We like so many of the same things

Ooh, that's awesome! I wonder which Arena member made it LOL, I knew EXACTLY who she was when I unwrapped her! My mom and sister thought she was the cutest thing ever They are deboxed now and I will be doing their hair shortly I just love food themed ponys I'm wanting to make an army of fruit ponies so Green Apple is perfect for my apple clan! The eyeball makes me laugh, I'm glad you sent it! It's about as strange as a wind up sushi I never expected such an amazing box! Cat is right, there was no need for you to worry because this box was beyond ANYTHING I could have EVER expected! I don't think I'd ever be lucky enough to get a swap box this nice again!

Lochness- I know!! The hand made stuff is so precious, I will treasure it You can tell so much time and effort and love went into each and every thing

Trish- What an amazing box with gorgeous ponies!! I looove TTT and Baby TTT And that eraser is so cute!!!! Those treats look yummy too

[moonflower]

Wow, you got it so soon!!

@hotharcat:
I'm glad you like everything.
When I look at all the other brags I feel like my box looks so "poor"..

Majesty was the first pony I snapped for you. She's so beautiful that it was hard to let her go!!
I ended up with 4 spare Pina Coladas until I found the right one at the german pony con which was acceptable.
Also AJ was hard to let go she short hair version and I'm missing her myself in my Army. But I was happy to get her for you.

I hope the shirt fits?
If not I thought it's a nice addition for your Sundance Army.

Yeah for Snoopy!! But it isn't easy to get Snoopy stuff lately.
When I was younger it was much easier and I remember that I've had a lot of Snoppy stuff when I was a child...no idea where all the things are gone.

Enjoy your new additions!!

[Babushka]

Not pictured . . . a mouse toy for my Maine Coon. He ran away with it as soon as he got it! He put it in his toy area (yes, the cat puts his items in one place on purpose), so hopefully I'll have the camera ready for when he gets it out again.

Thank you!

Moonflower, I love the box you put together for Trish.  Mommy and baby sets are always so sweet, and that looks like a very minty Hopscotch!  What's on the bookmark?  I love bookmarks. I love to "match" them to whatever book I'm currently reading. 

Stern, what great items you chose for hathorcat!  I'm a big fan of Snoopy as well, so I think the glass is awesome.  I like the window.  Does anyone else think that Snoopy looks a bit frightened by Majesty?  Those are some lovely classics there, Applejack, Sparkler, and Majesty all look AMAZING.  And I bet you tied all those gorgeous ribbons on their tails before sending them?  I don't know what it is about something as simple as a satin ribbon, but it really adds a special touch. The shirt is very neat, too.  But the pièce de résistance??  That gorgeous custom!!  I love rainbow ponies, and that rainbow baby is absolutely to swoon for.

Oh wow, Babushka posted her brag from Michelle while I was typing my comment.  Yet again, I am in awe.  Bonnie Bonnets?  Tex?  Nightglider?? <<faints just a little>> Loving the fall-themed extras, from the Yankee candles to the Craisins.  And dollyhair?  So awesome.  Oh, and what beautiful hand-stitching!!  That Nightglider is so intricate, wow!  You guys are all amazing.  I'm so excited to get my box out to my partner but the elusive item STILL hasn't shown up, and I will be gone for most of tomorrow so most likely it will arrive and I won't be here to receive it. 

But never mind all that.  Well done, everyone!!!

So my partner was... *drum roll* Daiyuflower! My husband told me my package had come and I came home from work as quick as I could!

Thank you so, so much, Daiyuflower! I had a fantastic time opening everything! I am a very, very happy Ri. This is me right now:

I wore the shirt to work today [with a shawl as its cold here] so its perfect thank you!!!:)

Honestly the box is so suited to everything about me - I love it and honestly you have no idea how much the Snoopy glass, the custom and the AMAZING Majesty especially made me feel You knew the perfect things to send - thank you again!

[Daiyuflower]

Yay I'm so glad you like everything ^_^  I had so much fun shopping for you, Reanna!  I was super excited that you're also a fellow Doctor Who fan, so I knew I had to include some figures after I had Cat ask you which Doctors you like. 
I actually had a hard time with the ponies though, because I know how much you like scented ponies, so I tried my best to find ones in nice condition that were still scented.  I'm afraid they're not still very strongly scented though, but I really tried  
I hope I didn't send you doubles of the blind bag ponies or the Dash plushie?  I wanted to send a few along, but unfortunately in my area, we don't get a lot of blind bags or trading cards :-/ 
I'm so glad you liked the card!  I'm so happy for you guys!  Congrats again!

Do you think you could blur out my name and address in the photo though?  Thanks!

[michelle53]

Yay more brags!!!!  Babushka, I had so much fun making those felt ponies for you:).  My daughters gave me so much input, and told me that I should embroider the stars on Night Glider.  I hope you like them:).  I'm sorry about the age spots on Tex, I was SO disappointed when he finally arrived:(. I almost didn't send him. 
You were such an awesome partner to shop for!!  After I read how much you loved fall and leaves, I almost squeed out loud because I literally planned on a Fall theme for you from the start!! 

Anywho!  Hathorcat, your box from Stern is awesome!!  Eeeeeeeee, so many amazing ponies!!!!  Reanna, you deserved to be beyond spoiled:).  This swap is just beyond belief!!!!!!!!!!

[Saja]

The Baby Parasol looks amazingly perfect, she's adorable! And Dewdrop Dazzle BB *grabby hands* It looks like the Snoopy glass was perfect, I think your box is stunning!

Babushka, that is an awesome box from Michelle! I spy FiM trading cards!!! I bet the candles smell wonderful I just love the fall theme Michelle did! And the ponies!! Look at that Fizzy!
