SIMPLE SWAP 2013 - Brag Thread!

[terabithianprince]

Oh what lovely ponies, Coco Berry is one of my favourite ponies. These boxes are making me nervous....I feel like I didn't put enough in.

Two more wonderful brags, awesome job everyone! *grabs Dazzleglow and M. George's Elizabeth I and runs away with them*



Yeah, I generally adhered to the 3 ponies, 2 major extras rule as well - after all, that was the whole point of the swap to make it fair for everybody. I did, however, add two very minor thingies (one of them a small sheet of stickers) instead of spreading some candy or chocolate in the box as Brightglow suggested (and I asked Dewprincess about them first). So no worries, I'm sure everybody will be fine and loved

Nuuuu, mine!
I can't wait to start reading Elizabeth I. I'm thinking that's going to be the first book on my reading list during winter break from school. I have so much (unwanted) reading during my school semester, I am never able to keep up with books I want to read on the side. T_T

When I did my English degree it was so hard to want to read anything that wasn't on my course lists. I would bury myself in Epic fantasy novels in the summer

Also, I love the new picture Sandra!

Thank you! I got really bored last week and did a photoshoot of myself with some of my ponies. I really like how the photo with Chief turned out and thought it would make a great replacement for my previous photo. This selfie is at least pony-related.

Brag time for me! The mail was quite late today but worth the wait! This could not have come at a better time, after a long few days of being sick and busy.

(Sorry, it took me a little while with the photos... I had to crop out my grandmother's face and a cat's butt.)

Puffy stickers and a drawing of Barnacle! I adore the drawing, I am going to add him to my collection of boy pony drawings/cards.

I started with the package that did not feel like a pony...
Definitely the best kind of extra. Ever. One of them will probably be used up later tonight!

First pony...an adorable set completer! She seems to have brought an extra along with her too. I kind of like it on her.
(Realizing I should have taken her out of the bag for her photo...)

Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful box, terabithianprince! I love it all and it was quite fun to cross that many sets off "the list".

Anyways the first thing I opened had a tag that read *I am foreign to you*
