Wings and Things Official Swap Brag Thread!!

[michelle53]

Michelle sent me a message, and I thought maybe I should jump in to show my face.

I'm really glad you like the boxes Budda, and I'm sorry I haven't replied to your pm! I just haven't been in the mood to say much lately. I'm sorry if the box was a bit off not having candy. We've kinda went into a health kick mode lately at home, and we're trying to cut back on sweets. I didn't think buying them even for a box would be a good idea...might eat them.   I thought the other things might last longer anyway.

Also jeez thanks you guys for being so sweet. I miss you all as well.   I know a lot of you have sent me pm's, and I even have a few letters. I promise I'll get to answering people soon when I can take a breather. It is nice to know people care though...haha I know who you are Ginger.

Maddie!!!  Squirrel dancing for joy seeing you!!

My brag!!!

So when I opened sign ups for this swap, there were certain people who, in my mind, would be well suited for this swap.  Ginger was one of those people.  Although she's new to swaps, I had no doubt that she would put together an awesome box.  I gave her the tall task of buying for me, and I have no doubt that it must have been slightly intimidating.  If she was nervous, it was not obvious to me at all! 

The first opening:

The wings are really beautiful in person!  I love how delicate and feminine they are:). Beautiful job Ginger!!

Remember that purple tail she posted??  It turns out Ginger rehaired her first pony ever for this swap.  Who could it be??

It's Glow rehaired in Pilot color change hair!!

It's really funny because I ordered some of the Pilot thermal for myself, but I ended up using it on some rehair ponies for the Alternate Swap.  So technically, this is my first color change hair pony!!

Check out her wings too!  They are just like dragon-fly wings:).  My family has this connection with dragon-flies, so they are something very special to me.  She is just beautiful!!

Finally, one of my most beloved and favorite ponies:

The incomparable Lady Flutter!  She is in gorgeous condition too!!  My heart has such a soft spot for her.  Some of you might know that she's the one Winger that eluded me when I was a child.  My ex friend bought the one I'd spotted in a store, and I never ended up getting her until a few years ago.  Each time I open a new one, it fills me with nostalgia and fills my heart with joy:).

Thank you so much Ginger for the absolutely wonderful swap box!  I can tell that so much love and care went into creating this for me, and I am so very thrilled and privileged to be the recipient.  Outstanding swap box my friend, we'll have to do this again!!

   


And where would we be without the Dancing Carlton gif??

Man's got the moves

[Sternenstaub]

WOW - what a lovely box!!
And the handmade wings are totally fantastic!! Great job!!!
Ginger - you should take commisions on this wings!!

And Glow looks so good with her new haircolor!!

[lochnessmomster]

Ginger, you have inspired me!  So often I don't try new things because I'm afraid I will fail.  But if this is your first attempt at making wings AND rehairing, then maybe there is hope for me after all. 

This truly is an amazing box.  The wings and colour-changing hair alone make it a winner, at least in my book.  Well done.

*nabs a Starburst*

[Mirnyj]

Those flutter wings are to. die. for. 

[Lady Starflower]

Wow that's one awesome swap box!!

[Ginger]

Awww thanks!!  I thought about commissioning them but I wanted to make sure Michelle got her box first- didn't want to spoil any surprises (since she already knew who I was, I had to be extra secretive, it was hard keeping my mouth shut)!

I'm SO sorry Michelle, it looks like Glow's wings got bent downward- I hope they perk back up!?! I was hoping she would be okay in that other box.  You are so absolutely welcome though and I'm so happy you love everything. You're too sweet!! Shopping for you and thinking of ideas was so fun. The whole thing put a huge smile on my face.
 

lochness, awww of course there is hope, go for it! "Give it a go, mother will never know!" Mwaha. Really this swap is what inspired me (especially Michelle, since she likes rehairs and customs ). I always wanted to try those things but just needed some motivation, reason, and that deadline.

ETA: LOL!!! I feel way less creepy now Madhatter 

[michelle53]

No worries!  I'll get her wings a push-up so they're perky again   Hahahahaha!!!!  In all seriousness, get your hands off my Starbursts Lochnessmomster!!!  They be mine....all mine!!

I knew these boxes would be epic:)

[Lady Starflower]

Ginger did you get that colour changing hair from Dollyhair?? I loveee that colour!! I've always wanted to try rehairing and now that my son is older and not so needy you've inspired me to get to it and try it out

[Shenanigans]

OMG, those are Ginger's first attempt at wings and hair? She looks like a pro!!! They look AMAZING That hair looks so pretty on Glow, she looks so sweet Aw, I remember that story about your friend and Lady Flutter. If only she could see all your LFs now That was awesome of Ginger to include such a special pony! Great box, Ginger, well done!

I agree, that colour combo on Glow is absolutely gorgeous.

And I remember that story, too.  Total frenemy.  So glad you have lots of wingers now, Michelle.

Aww... not even one?  LOL, I'm only teasing.  They actually do sell Starburst in the UK, thank goodness.

[silverskimmer]

[Unicorn_pops]

What a great Box Michelle! @ Ginger, I'm loving those custom wings! So Pretty, I'm not a fan of flutter ponies but they look better with those wings! Glow looks amazing with purple hair!
