Girly Swap 2013

[Honeycomb]

What a wonderful box!!! All the ponies look so mint! And the drawing is amazing!

[Akemi-chan]

Oh what a sweet box!  That time turner is so cool!  Grats Lemontwist!

[Naraya]

Wow, such a great box!

[Shenanigans]

Yay! I'm so glad you like it! SO much fun picking stuff out for you, especially since we had met IRL! I loved the Time Turner, haha. I want one of my own! I just HAD to get you some HP stuff I knew I had to get you a corgi too since I love dogs so much I received Tira-Mi-Su and Mocha Nut in my last swap and they are so, so pretty. Wildflower is one of my favorites, that gorgeous orange color! I'm so happy you loved everything!

lemontwist, what a lovely box from Shenanigans!!  Not that I'm surprised. Having been spoiled by her myself in the past, I know what you mean about all the stuff being so YOU, like she tiptoed into your brain while you were sleeping and took notes. 

I love that you're a Harry Potter fan!  Our whole family is, too.  Well, most of us, anyway -- my husband, me, and our two boys.  The preferences of the toddler and baby-to-be remain to be seen, lol.  The Hufflepuff earrings are way too cool, and so is the time-turner.  We bought one for the boys, but I'm pretty sure ours is a cheaper model.  Yours looks made of real metal, or at least a convincing fake. It cracks me up how you even incorporated the cute Corgi into the Harry Potter theme.  Who cares what your boyfriend says?  Neville is the perfect name for him!! 

How sweet for Shen to include all of those chapsticks!  What flavours did you get? 

The ponies all look FABULOUS.  I don't collect the Sundae Best ponies myself, but I do love Peppermint Crunch.  Her name, her colours, her pose... she is definitely a cutie.  I think I will add her to my pony wish list.

Well, you put together another fabulous box, Shen!  (love the card, too!!)

Oh my goodness, that time turner is absolutely awesome! I love that box so much!

Great job shenanigans!

Honeycomb gave me a gorgeous and minty Sherbet for my Sundae Best army and two beautiful flutters: Peach Blossom and High Flier. High Flier was one of my most wanted ponies and Peach Blossom is one of the last flutters that I'm missing.

Thank you again, Honeycomb - I absolutely loved your box!   

[NinaMarie]

Wow congrats on those boxes guys!

[Shenanigans]

Thanks, everyone! And I agree on Neville- perfect name!

Ooh! Three more ponies for Naraya! Peach Blossom's hair is so curly and pretty All three of them look gorgeous! Honeycomb put together a fantastic box

Great brags everyone. Looks like a super fun swap

My incredible swap box from Naraya!

Kleines geschenk fur dich! (a little gift for you):

First sight upon opening the box:

I honestly didn't move the contents around at all -- this is literally how it looked when I lifted
the lid!  Everything looks so nice and orderly.

Beautiful card and cute owl sticker on the back of the envelope

Remember the cute striped gift that said "for the baby (to use in the tub)"?  Well, there were two
other similarly-wrapped presents, one for my boys, and one for my daughter. Here is what the
packages contained:

The boys loved the styrofoam aeroplanes and Noah wanted me to pass along his thanks.
The ladybird hair clips are going to look adorable on Marion, who also gets the benefit of
getting to play with the ducky before her new sister or brother comes along.

Maoam sweeties and a few squares of Ritter Sport

One of the presents was a blue-and-green striped box with li'l tinies inside:

Love the serious-looking Beagle figure (his expression makes me giggle!) and am so excited
about the new blind bag ponies, Twilight Velvet and Sweetie Blue!!

More fun extras!!

Such perfect choices for me!  A cute Hello Kitty notepad and light-up HK stamper, a pack of owl
tissues (so silly, but I love having travel tissues on hand), an expandable owl shopping bag, a
lovely metal Beagle sign (she reminds me of my childhood Beagle), and three packs of stickers.
I can't wait to smell the scratch n' sniff ones!!

PONY TIME!! 

First, I got G3 Tira-mi-su and Mochanut.  Mama and baby both have minor haircuts, but
apart from that they are perfect.  Such a cute pair, I was so thrilled to receive them in my box!

Next, G3 Candy Heart -- pink perfection!!

I was shocked when I saw this li'l girl:

Mail Order Purple Valentine's Day baby pony, really??  She has been so elusive for me, mainly
because I usually can't justify the cost whenever she pops up on eBay.  I'm super happy to
welcome her into my herd, and I love the natural "swoop" curl in her mane and tail!

That's it for the ponies, but something else decided to "hop" into my box as well:

Hoppy, are you serious?!  Sure, she was high up on my wish list, but I honestly never thought
I would see her in a swap box.  It was one of those "it's a long shot, but you never know!"
items.  Oh... and she's near mint, too!  I'm still in shock -- thank you, Naraya!

What is so awesome about Hoppy is that I recently found a super deal on Baby Pockets that
I just couldn't pass up.  Now I have the pair, and they look so adorable together:

I saved this present for last.  I wasn't sure what it was, but the size and shape intrigued me.

A super soft white owl plush!  I love owls and I love plushes, so it's perfect! 

Last, but not least, a group shot (the candy was in the blue bowl behind the stickers):

I had a really fun time opening everything, and I just love how pink and girly everything was.  It's all wonderful, truly.  And the ponies are all in such great condition!  I also want to say a special thanks for including little gifts for my children.  A gift for them is a gift for me.  It really means a lot.  Thank you for making this such a fun swap experience, Naraya!  I can only hope my own partner will be just as happy with hers.

[Marigold]

All of these boxes have been amazing!  Lots of pretty ponies and neat extras.

[Honeycomb]
