Omgooossshhhhh *catches breath* I got my swap box today...
From the always amazing, and awesome, and accessory queen -
HATHORCAT! (Wow that was alot of A's, lol)
Anyway... okay. So, I had to take a moment because my hands were shaking once I finished opening the package. I swear one time I need to video myself because the sounds I make would make you guys lol hardcore...
But now, as photobucket is uploading my photos, I can begin describing this box of awesome that came very inconspicuously in the mail today!
I have been having quite a pony slump as I've found that once you're addicted to swaps, as I have become, most of your money goes to buying other people stuff, and not yourself, so, I haven't gotten much pony mail lately... so I had this little feeling inside me that it was my swap box, even though, the box had no defining features to suggest such (I LOVE SURPRISES LIKE THAT!
)
Upon opening the box *squee!* I knew it was the swap box! I see a card on top and some lovely little sparkles hidden underneath the bubble wrap...

But it's been about 90 degrees here the last few days, and I'm sure during wherever it was hailing from (in the states I mean, I think our sorting center is in MO?) - anyway, it's been hot, so Mr. Chocolate Bar was more like... Mr. Almost-Liquid Bar, so I ran and saved his life as fast as I could and snapped a photo of him in the fridge... THIS is my reward when I finish my workout tonight, even though I didn't want candy, I SO WANTED CANDY! Because... well I freaking LOVE candy. And Hazelnut chocolate anything is like, a huge huge huge win!

Where to begin... okay, first, this absolutely gorgeous sea-side theme notepad... it's like, amazing quality, cotton paper, it's soft, it's beautiful, I don't even know if I can use it, lol it's just, SO PRETTY (and really, ridiculously soft, and light, like a cloud!) There was a little soft elephant who - again - is that UBER soft material, he's to die for cute and squishy! And it may sound weird, but I like the way he smells, haha!
STICKERS! Okay - so, when I was a kid I was OBSESSED with those 3D puffy stickers, I LOVED them! I have never seen those here in the states myself, I've seen them in passing in photos, but, I can't stop squishing them, lol... That feeling brings me back to my childhood! And the other set of stickers, the only one I've ever seen of THOSE in person is the rainbow colored striped pony shaped sticker, the rest I've never seen! I love how diverse stickers are, there's a reason I loved stickers as a kid (and now I love that I have excuses to use stickers again in my life!
) DOLLYMIX PONIES!!! These things are ADORABLE! Are you kidding me? Tic Tac Toe and Heart Throb - I love the pegasus wings! I must have them all now...
Oh and I can't forget to mention the adorable kitten card from Cat!

I had to get my boys and show photos of them with all their new accessories!!
Here's my 1st set Boys:

I can't even fathom that!
My 2nd Set is now 100% Complete (did they have ribbons?) thanks to Cat!

OMGOSH It looks to be SUNBURST'S COMB!
I don't actually own Sunburst, but now I know what my next big goal has to be - I MUST HAVE HIM! (I had Tornados comb for a LONG time before I owned him, so, that's a great goal to have now, plus, Sunburst has amazing colors - some of my favorite - dark red, which, again, Cat hit right on the head with the packaging!!
)

Cat - you outdid yourself, you spoiled me and my boys and thank you so much for everything. I love each and every piece (extras and accessories) that you included and I just feel like, on cloud 9 right now!!
If I could tackle you through the computer, I would, so you better hope that never becomes a reality, because I will always remember this!!
And thank you again Raven too!
That was really sweet of you!
