~Mug Swap 2013~ A cup of Brags!

[Sunshine]

The teacup looks familiar! Was it from Sunshine's gram's collection?

cute pokemon collex! Sucks about the circus mug, but I'm glad you could repurpose it.

Yes, it was! I was really happy to see that it got there safely, and went to a good home! When my mother pulled that one out of the cabinet I thought it was so pretty so, I'm happy that you did too tiki!!

I am loving all these brags!! I love how personalized everyone's boxes have turned out, and I'm super excited for my partner to get theirs!!

Come one, come all, to the most epic brag of Mug Swap 2013!!!

So my partner was Sunshine, and she spoiled the pants off me!! No really, I am sitting here with no pants on, because she knocked them off! 

Here's a pic of everything out of the box!! So many goodies for me to unwrap!! And I love the paper

Sooo first things first...I grabbed for the prezzie wrapped in the yellow tissue paper...and it squeeked. Cue mass dog entrance!!
Play by play of the doggie fun in the spoiler xD. With pictures!

Spoiler

First on the scene were Brody and Blayne!

Blayne grabs the toy and runs behind a chair to protect herself!!

Blayne chewed on it for a while, but then looked away for a split second and here came Carsyn to nab it from her!

Buuuuuut Blayne wasn't happy with that, so she stole it back. Doesn't she look so proud?

Carsyn figured since he couldn't have the dog toy right now, he'd go see what he could steal from mom's goodies..

Ha! They're crazy xD. My presents! lol.

Okay, back to business!
First up is all the edible yummies!! Lots of hot cocoa, chocolates, and some "Chocolate Thunder" coffee!! Yum! I can't wait to try it! It made the whole box smell like chocolate

Then the non-edible goodies! Sunshine hit the mark with these!! A super cute little Aristocats book and some Pocahontas stickers, which I LOVEEEE! Then some bath fizzies, a super cute little puppy pencil, and that little orange thing with the bow in the back is to put over your coffee cup to keep it from spilling or getting ickies in it when you walk! It's perfect! I love the two brass (?) music items! It's a treble clef and a note! I'll have to figure out how I want to display these :]. Then, the little coffee cup with the plate in front...it's a candle! And so is the little cupcake!! How cute is that!

Now on to the mugs!!!!

I LOVE this penguin mug!! It's perfect for me! And it's HUGE!! I can just imagine me curling up in a blanket and drinking some cocoa from my penguin cup :]. And then there's this cute and colorful one! I love oranges and reds together

These are awesome!! I have the Aristocats mug on my display shelf, but now I have one to drink out of, too!! So win win for me! And I adore the little soft kitty one from Big Bang Theory!! The poor thing has a crack running inside the cup, but I think I'll do as Tikibirds did and turn it into a pen holder . It'll be going on the shelf by my bed!

Then there's this set!! I LOVE them!! They're right up my alley. I love the black with the white leopard spots, and the leopard on the first cup is even red and orange!! (my favorite colors!)

Now onto the ponies!!! Wait...did she say ponies? YUP!! Sunshine seriously outdid herself. These ponies are GORGEOUS.

First! This is my first G1, and my first alt rehair all in one!!! And I didn't even have to look her up. I know this girl is TAF Sundance :]. She's a yarn rehair done by Sunshine, herself!!! I LOVE her!! Seriously...in love with her I mean, look at those little braids!

Then I think my heart stopped for a minute.. This is too much. Really. But wow am I thrilled!!! This beautiful lady is a custom done just for me, by TexasGal! She is to commemorate this swap and my first time hosting!! I seriously teared up...she is too pretty. I am touched at this gesture, Sunshine. I love love love love love her. These pictures don't do her justice at all.

[wiccanpony1]

[shockponie]

Klondike, the CANDY? Say whaaat! Where is this from, Sunshine? I want to try.

I'm not a kitty person, but that kitty cartoon is cute on the BBT cup!

That's a nice reminder/personalized pony.
