Sticker Swap DONE! :o

[MidnightMocha]

Do you collect anything besides ponies?
Raccoon stuff, owl stuff, nature stuff like nice stones I also love cool office supplies!

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras?
I really like cute little figures, or just stuff from your state or country, I'm not choosy little useful things like bags, too. I like sparkly and cute things, but I will love anything unique as long as its not a spider (I feel like I shouldn't have to say that but just in case)

Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting?
I don't really use pencils, and I just got a ton of pens, so I think I'm good there

Do you have any hobbies?
Yup! I'm a health freak and love yoga and running. I also like to draw and sing.

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box?
I do sculpt, but I wouldn't want to trouble anyone with clay since I'm picky about what I use and also it's expensive!

so far i THINK im still flat
BUT i just fount the Cutest extra T.T and its a sorta big plushie but only cost $5! well i guess its actually "normal" sized as far as plushies go, but kinda big for a sticker swap xD BUT I think i can manage to fit it in and it wont be too squished. i hope my partner loves it ^^

The nice thing about many stuffies is their squish-ability.  I remember getting a stuffie in the mail and thinking "wow, I didn't realize it was so small" until I started pulling it out of the box.  It reminded me of the magician's silk hanky that just keeps on coming.  That or a popple.

I'm probably going to either mail in a bubble mailer framed with lots of cardboard or a box, I haven't decided which... 

I'm super frustrated - I set aside a whole bunch of stickers and seem to have misplaced them!    I'm sure I'll find them, it's just irritating when I thought they were with the extras!  I think I read others having this problem too.

I put mine in my "fish supplies" drawer otherwise my mother would get ahold of them and I would never see them again. She gave an $80 pony to a little brat that belongs to my sister's friend, while I was living in another state. The pony has yet to be returned

What I do to keep from losing things is I set up a swap box and always put everything I have and am considering in that box only.  I don't lose my stuff that way.

So today I went to my local thrift store! I always check in every few weeks or so because sometimes they have 80s toys, and VERY RARELY g3 ponies. Today I thought I'd go back in and look through the jumbled mess that is their sewing section.. and guess what I found?
A bag of scrapbooking stuff  Inside there were a lot of mostly used up sticker sheets, mostly holiday stuff.. and then, a separate plastic baggy full of unused vintage grossman and sandylion sticker mods!! o___o I'm so happy!! I'm going to send a few to my swap partner as extras, and the rest are going into my collection n__n
(i also got some sick vintage dinosaur iron-on images. I can't wait to put them on a shirt- It'll match my dinosaur backpack!  )

oh my gosh dainty! thats sooo coool! iv only gotten lucky once or twice at a thrift shop xD weve only got a handful of them to start with, i blame it on living in a small town and not many people seem to get rid of this kinda stuff lol

[Dainty]

Yeah we have one in town that's just a small thrift shop.. we ended up going to a bunch of surrounding ones first and didn't find anything o_o I don't usually find any my little ponies at thrift stores around here >__<

[tulagirl]

Thats really neato Dainty.  What a special find.  I never find stickers at thrift stores.

Any objections to unusual G3 stickers?

[Marigold]

Unusual?  As in weirdos?  Sure!

Any objections to unusual G3 stickers?

Never, I love oddball things.

All updated again. Went shopping yesterday and got some good stuff, but I feel like I'm still missing the perfect thing for my partner. Something amazing. I just don't know what it is yet.

I am kind of in that place too with the "amazing" item.  Its probably in the stuff I have but I am not connecting with that feeling that I have it.

I'm starting to get like this.  I'm doubting that my partner will like most of the stuff that I got.  Sigh.  I hope it's just me being silly but what if I'm right?  I really don't want to disappoint my partner.  Maybe I'll go shopping again and redo a bunch of the stickers.  Am going to re-evaluate what I've got and how it matches my partner's list.  To my partner:  I love almost everything, just no spiders or and creepy stuff, and all will be -good.  Even some cute bugs would be ok, like ladybugs or bees.

Ember I am sure your partner will love what you are finding.

[tulagirl]

Ember I am sure it will be okay.  The sticker swap is different that pony swaps where people ask for specific ponies and you know you have the right one.  This its more like themes and brands or characters.  That leaves it a little open.  I am sure your partner will love your box.

Oooh I found the perfect sticker sheet to send.  *dances*  I found another stash of stickers I had, which I guess makes up for the losing of others...  I am SUCH a squirrel!  :-p
