NinaMarie, what a lovely box you put together for Aurora! I especially love the extras -- that little bear hat is so adorable!! And the canning kit and book of herbs are really neat, too.

On a side note, what a gorgeous view you have there, Aurora! And what a sweet story about your Turkey Buddy.

I was really excited that it wasn't raining for once, so I could sit outside. The bugs are biting, but we have guinea birds who eat the bugs, so it's not as bad as it is in other places. We don't spray, because it might hurt the chickens, so every year we get a bigger flock of guineas! They're like bug-eating machines.

Saja, sorry I didn't comment before- I couldn't find a way to fit it into the other post. I know some of the ponies are not as perfect as they could be, but after looking at some of your customs and rehairs, I knew they would have an interesting life with you! And did you at least try the costume on? I would still love pictures, but when I was shopping for a few last-minute things to toss in, I found those and couldn't resist- so even if I never get to see you in them, at least I can imagine! I was so excited, I forgot to buy myself a set. I hope there are some left- every house should have a hula-girl costume.

Nina- everything was perfect. It was easy to see you paid attention to what I liked- there's NOTHING in this box that made me wonder "why is this in here?" which has happened with every other swap. I couldn't be happier- and the fact that you made that perfect little snowflake is icing on the cake!
Did you use a pattern to make the hat? I might have to commission you to make one for me and the husband, so we can be a matching bear family! LOL!

Ever since I learned to make snowflakes I make them every year around christmas and use them to decorate gifts or give away. Yes I used a pattern for the bear hat, I had previously made one as trade with a girl on etsy for my beautiful wooden butterfly necklace.

We've hardly had any comments on these last brags -- where is everyone?

Part of the fun of sharing is to see what everyone has to say.

We have been a rather quiet group this whole time!

I do love seeing all of the brags though. Everyone had such wonderful ideas.

*still waiting for box*

It isn't a rambunctious swap- I feel like real life has been really busy, so there's a lot of other stuff to think about!

I have been cleaning like crazy for my in-laws' visit, celebrating my husband's b-day, Father's Day, and daughter's 2nd birthday. Not to mention my husband's PhD graduation on Tuesday. So I definitely relate.

That Greek Ladybug custom blew my mind. The detail! And that artwork of the 4 seasons ponies by Moonflower is stunning! And the beagle plush! I just want to cuddle it.

So jealous of Saja's received Night Glider and Marshmallow Cocoa!

I loved the paper used in blonde2themax's received swapbox! Her partner received some cute goodies.

And I want to eat all of the chocolate please. All of it. Send to me.

How cute is Aurora's received blind bag Glory! Hasbro should make special limited editions of G1 ponies as blind bags...

Sorry girls it's been pretty busy here. I only get to browse the forum when I'm working but, today I've found some time to comment on your wonderful boxes. Great job ladies!

@Moonflower: I love the details you added to your box. Those owl extras are super cute. My mom loved your crochet dog

! And that custom is absolutely gorgeous :}}}}.

@Aurora: I love that night glider. I might just have to "borrow" it from saja. The Hawaiian summer wear was hilarious. You had so many extras and ponies!

@Ninamarie: Love your teddy hat! Absolutely cute!!! And that pictures with your turkey aurora was amazing. I love the cupcake and rarity. All of your goodies are fantastic.

Congrats on your lovely boxes all of you. I can't wait to see more ;D!

Yes, the teddy hat is really cute!! A family of teddy hats sounds like a great idea.
