A story of a box, in photos.

Thank You very much Rhini! Good stuff! Great choices!

 

YAAAYY!! You're very welcome i'm so glad you liked everything and that I picked out good stuff! And I'm especially glad the kitties approve because you know, that's all that really matters right?

Of coarse. I never got them balls before, it a very new thing for them.

[Ice Crystal]

Oh wow, Snowdrop is a gorgeous pony. I think I'll be adding her to my want list.

What a great box! Congrats, mul-ta.

[Chaosette]

Congratulations everyone!
Your paint work is fantastic mul-ta! And Sokkis, that book looks so intriguing!

Yayyyyy boxes! Who's next?

[Jinxxy]

Summerlycoris the card you got is amazing! mul-ta do you make that on a computer with a paint program or some thing, gosh that blew me away!

I agree! That is the coolest card I have EVER SEEN!! So gorgeous!

[SeashellnBubbles]

I finally got home to open my box and it's from the WONDERFUL Court2882!!! OMG she spoiled me ROTTON! These are by far the best, most thoughtful gifts (next to Seashell and Bubbles which I got from Christmas from my father) that anyone has EVER gotten me! Oh, I have to share everything with you all, so here goes!!

Everything was packaged a colored so festively....and Twilight and Spike greeted me upon opening the box along with a personal message from Court herself (which my dog Pischer immediately claimed as hers!) Which just goes to show dogs are just as into boxes as kitty friends!

Italy Blossom!! Look at what a lovely shade or purple she is! (as you may tell from my bedsheets, purple is one of my fav colors)

I feel that that Court found my thread about having lost an Italy Blossom and Cotton Candy to the mail monster somewhere between Europe and Canada, ones I had won in an eBay auction and was incredibly upset at never having received...it was very nice of you to find me replacements. I actually choked up when I saw Blossom...
But she wasn't alone!! Italy Bowtie came along for the ride!!

Thank you again, Court...you are an incredible, thoughtful, and wonderful swap partner! You are simply the best!!
And for my own partner, don't worry...your package will be mailed either tomorrow or Saturday....just doing some final touches on your custom and I want to be sure the paint is dry, especially with the humid weather we're having. When you see her, hopefully you'll forgive my being tardy

You're AWESOME Court!!

[court2882]

Seashell,

I am so happy that you are pleased. After you wrote that you had it in the car this afternoon I have been checking and checking to see if you had posted everything. I am so happy that I was able to fill your missing ponies and to find your grail.  When you mentioned in your wishlist that it was the one thing that you really wanted I knew that I had to find it.

As an aside, all the teas have no caffeine, as you mentioned that you can't have caffeine, so you can enjoy away!

As for Princess Crystal, pure luck! I had no idea which one it was, I just thought it would make a good extra. She must have known I was sending her for a swap.

I really am happy that you are enjoying your swap box.  And I LOVE your puppy.  I am such a dog person

xo Court

[Jinxxy]

Seashell-That box is perfect for you! Those teas looks sooo yummy! Loose leaf is the best and wowza, that's an assortment! You did get spoiled

[SeashellnBubbles]

I had so much to do today thay I'm sorry it took so long to postn Court! I absolutely love everything...I can't believe you found every pony I wanted!! You're amazing I wish I could hug you for real!! It's too bad noone was around for my happy dance with Twilight! I must have looked ridiculous

[court2882]

That dance would have been entertaining to see.

[SeashellnBubbles]

That dance would have been entertaining to see.

Thank goodness dogs can't speak...even Pischer was wondering what was wrong with mummy!

[Chaosette]

Ohmygosh Court fantastic job!!! What an amazing box!
Pischer is soooooo freaking cute!

[Sky_Rocket_Sammie]

Amazing boxes. I don't know what's more fun. Sending my partner's box out, getting my own or watching everyone else.

[Sunshine]

Court and Sokkis your boxes were absolutely lovely! There is a lot of thought put into all of your boxes, it's very obvious! And the care and detail to make sure your ponies were mint and beautiful, it really goes to show, it's about quality not quantity! The artwork and the well placed extras... This is shaping up to be a wonderful swap!!

[SparklersOasis]

Aaand now for my brag!  Sorry for the blurriness of the pictures, my phone was not cooperating tonight.  It seems to be a common thread, but my partner spoiled me rotten!!!

I have to include the wonderful note from Sky_Rocket_Sammie.  Midsummer night's dream is my favorite Shakespeare work.  And this is part of my favorite quote!

SEAWINKLE!  Sorry for the caps, you have no idea how excited I am to get her!  I used to have Celebrate growing up but she was destroyed in a flood.  This is my first seapony since her!  I'm honestly snuggling her right now...

First you're welcome SparklerOasis. Second, phew! I was on a short budget and crazy busy with rl goings on during this swap.

Bodega Bay is an amazing place. For film buffs The Birds was shot there. I grew up in southern CA, so the beach has always been a part of my life. Figured you'd enjoy a local postcard.

Dragons Blood incense, that's my favorite. So I took a guess and thought you may enjoy it. It's not over the top heavy or super sweet smelling.

AJ was a natural to include, given I have a mini army myself. And you'd mentioned taking her along for errands.

The G1 ponies came together in a lot. I only did a bit of combing on manes/tails but left them as is. *The feels* about your childhood sea pony. Enjoy Seawinkle.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of my favorite's of Shakespeare. So it was easy playing on that theme. Actually I wanted to keep adding to that quote but ran out of room.
