Private Big Spendah Swap with himmie
« on: October 24, 2013, 01:44:27 PM »
A couple months ago, I put a request out for someone interested in doing a "big spendah" private swap.  Today, I got to meet himmie for the first time as she drove hours each way to deliver my swap in person.  I was blown away by her generosity and thoughtfulness as she put together an incredible swap, custom-tailored for me.  She was unbelievably gracious about my young children running around underfoot and crying and needing food during the afternoon.  I was just completely bowled over and blown away and  I feel like I will owe her FOREVER for how above and beyond she went.  It's unreal.  There is not a smiley here that can cover the emotion.  She's just the best and I have a long way to go to equal that swap.   :heart:



We didn't take photos, but I can tell you that she carried in a tub of gifts to thunk down onto my dining room table.  So many gifts, all wrapped in white with rainbow pastel ribbons.  There were so many, she had a printed inventory of everything, numbered, to consult!  :D  Crazy. 

What was inside them was even crazier--covering G1 to G4 grails of mine.  So, on to a ton of pictures under the spoiler!

G4 Blind Bag Tealove--from Series 2 that wasn't released in the US.  I love the tea-themed ponies and she is so darling with her wild curls and sweet coloring.

4 G3.5 Newborn Cuties.  I've just been won over by the cuteness of these.  himmie wasn't as convinced but she very gamely went out to find them for me.  :lol:

...and this gorgeous rainbow haired Tex!

and finally, after a lot of grails and "oh my god!" kinda reveals, there was the end-all and be-all of ponies I NEVER EXPECTED TO GET in a swap.  He was one of the last three I needed and one I was prepared to have to battle himmie to win at auction someday.  ;)  But seriously, what can I possibly do to thank her for this.....

himmie, thank you for being a spectacular person and the Santa Claus of all swap partners.  I will never, ever, ever forget this.  You've earned my loyalty for life.  I'm so glad that I've met you.  (I told you I was way more effusive on the Arena.   ^.^   :lol: :orange:  )

No, but seriously---Thank You.  I owe you.   :blush:  Bigtime!
