Oh my gosh, well, either my people didn't deliver mail yesterday or today really is a 3 swap box day
But I got my AMAZING BOX from
Raindrop!
I've got school in a little while, I took some quick shots, but tonight I am planning on giving my gals the true photo treatment on my normal background (instead of the floor), so when I get home from campus that's the first thing I'm doing but I could NOT wait to post and brag about this!
Okay, I apologize, apparently my photos all came out really dark
- again, I'm going to take some much nicer photos this evening...
Wow! Upon opening the swap box - beautiful sparkly wrapping paper and a card with two postcards frommmmm UTAH!
I've actually never been anywhere out west but California, I've always always wanted to visit everything from Idaho to Arizona and everything in between and your postcards have drool worthy scenery!

Annnnd the box being used by Simon - he was pretty stoked you sent a shoebox. That's like a PREMIUM Box for my kitties
he was ALL about it...

First thing: PET TREATS!
My cats are gaga over Temptations - so they will be super happy once I open the bag (
) and here are the pups - they KNOW that there's a busybone in there for them!

Also, these are like - REAL fruit fruit roll ups, I may have snarffed down the Apricot one immediately, lol they are SO GOOD!

) and Seaspray - who's colors are SO vibrant! She went right up on my shelf with my "Sea/Ocean" themed pony display! Even my fiance was eyeing her up, he thought her colors were really cool!
And then a SS Magic Star and Sunshine WaveRunner! These gals are so cute, I LOVE seahorses
She also has a super bodacious hairdo that I actually REALLY LOVE on her, lmao!
And another wonderful package revealed... my OTHER favorite thing in the world - PONY HAIR!
And not just regular pony hair, I got some THERMALS! I've been wanting to order thermals and I ALWAYS forget, and these are amazing - purple to pink and purple to blue... omgosh. I can't thank you enough!
The light purple, Twilight - is a color I don't have at all either, and I LOVE the color of it, as soon as I saw it I said to myself, "And why haven't I ever used this color before?!" -

I was beyond excited to open these two beautiful gals!

I love the way you styled it in ringlets too, so fitting for her and that pose! And the second rehair... wait, yes you see right - it's DANCE 'N PRANCE PLAYER and what?! WHAT?!? SHE WORKS!!!
I cannot even believe that, probably the most fantastic thing in the world was seeing her tail move, I LOVE the Powder pose so much, and I had DnP DJ as a kid and always loved the set (and I LOVE their accessories) - but now I see her rehaired like this and thing of all the potential the set had because these colors are WOWEEEE WOW!
But I still have on package left! How can that be? I got two adult rehairs...
And then I open this...

As soon as I saw it I screamed "It's a STURGEON!" and not just a sturgeon, it has sparkles and so many details, it's PERFECT! There's no mistaking that fish for anything else and now I actually have a PONY WITH A STURGEON ON IT!! her hair is beautiful too, multicolored tinsel - almost like Baby Princess Sparkle and it matches the lovely blue body color so well... I don't even know what to do with her. Obviously I want to display her with my customs but I almost dont' feel that that's ENOUGH for her - this is super super special to me, I probably will never ever be able to express just how... meaningful this pony is to me...
Raindrop, you not only helped host a wonderful swap, but you put together such a perfect swap box for me, I could cry!
in a good way of course!
I love the ponies so much, your skills are beautiful too - if I didn't mention how factory perfect Raindrop rehairs ponies, I need to! - and I'm very honored to have been your partner and now getting to own not only 2 of your rehairs, but a custom that is so so perfectly me... Ahhhh I need to shut up now and post this so other people can drool over them but... just, thank you thank you thank you so much!!
