Valentine's Day Private Swap with Mikia9 Brag and RAOPK Shenanigans Brag.

[Marigold]

This was certainly a sweet valentines for me this year!  I have two things to brag about.  Mkia9 and I had a private valentines swap and Shenanigans sent me a valentines surprise!

First the swap:

Mkia9 is such a great swap partner. She really knows how to put a fantastic box together.  She includes all these great little notes too!  Her boxes are always decorated so creatively.  There were all these conversation heart stickers on the box and red tinsel.

I received all my favorite valentines treats and few new treats like the gingerbread twix which combines my favorite candy bar with one of my favorite flavors.  I am a big fan of red hots.  I've already polished them off.  I got a Rapunzel tin I had been looking for!  Mkia9 is so thoughtful and this is my favorite of all the tins!   Mint free conversation hearts!  yum o yum!  See that square frozen thingy?  It is a badge that flashes in mesmerizing bright lights. I'm fascinated with it.  The rose pill box is Lenox and fits right in with my vintage style.  It is incredibly pretty. The stickers are pretty awesome too.  I'm going to be using them everywhere!  I like to sign things with little hearts.

Then there are the handmade things made just for me with my favorite creatures such as the nudibranch, snails, and moths. I love that the frame is in two of my favorite colors combined. And I really think the seaslugs in the box are adorable!

I will be putting my stone ring collection in the box.  Here are two Mkia9 picked up for me at the renaissance fair:

Okay these last three pictures are hard for me to decide between which should be last.  First the plethora of pins is astounding!  But the handmade valentines nudibranch really makes me smile.   Yet, the super amazing handmade Russian doll REVERSIBLE handbag might top them all!   I just love it! 

 
So many pins!  And I love each one.  My favorites are:  the vintage Snow White, the aurora eyes rectangle pin, and Cinderella because she has light brown hair in it like she has in the movie!

Here is my sweet candy girl Valentina.  She's a darling! 
I'm not totally happy with this picture of her so I might need to take a few more. She needs a setting in which she can stand out for how awesome she is.

Thank you so much for making my valentines day so special Mkia9.  I loved everything! 


Phew!!!  Next!


Shenanigans is the sweetest thing on the planet sending out random surprises for Valentines. She's such a good friend and I could brag until the cows come home about how sweet and kind she is.  She sent me a beautiful box!  She also knew I was looking for the valentines tins and sent me all three designs!   I am rolling in princess heart chocolates!

I don't think Shenanigans knows how much I like cute food things but I do. I got a bagel!

And finally I got two ponies I have been wanted forever, and they are so mint I am almost allergic to them!   Those are the nicest factory curls I have ever seen on a loose pony!  I can't believe they are both mine!

You both blew me away!  Thank you again and again!  I can't really find the words to describe how happy these boxes made me.

What wonderful gifts and pony fiends :-). I am a Disney fan so I adore all those pins and absolutely love the tins you received . I remember seeing a thread about Disney princess Valentine merchandise I guess they had cups and sequence candy box's but I wasn't able to find any.

[MikeysGrrrl]

Both of those boxes were so lovely, you can see the time and effort that each person put into them. Wonderful valentines surprise
