Yeah, we got pounded pretty hard with heavy rain and high winds yesterday, the remnants of Hurricane Arthur. We lost power for four or five hours, and there are branches and trees down all over the place. Other than that everyone is fine, no damage. ;)

Yay for more brags!  Hope everyone survived the weekend, we not only had the 4th of July, but a HUGE family reunion!   :zzz:

Miraja, would you mind if I shared some of the digital pages I made?

I wish I could have included these, 4th of July fireworks on the lake is a HUGE must for it to be a proper summer.  And I was lucky enough to have a tripod for the first time this year, so I finally have firework pictures I'm happy with.

Great brags so far, oh my!!

Mareacooda, you did such a great job on the box you put together for wyndeboo.  I have always wanted to visit Maine, but now I really want to go!  Great ponies, too -- MO Napper, wow!!

SparklersOasis, your box to MiRaja is also incredible. Starglow and Love Letter look perfect, and check out that huge bag of nummy nums!!  :blink:

Doedeardarling, I know I've told you before, but I just LOVE your pony artwork.  You drew so many beautiful ponies for cassstorm, she's a lucky lady!! It looks like you took some great photographs of Baby AJ and Baby Explorer, too.  Fun!

Hee hee... cyberunicorn, your drawing of the pony and the sheep had me laughing out loud!  There are some differences, of course, but a lot of the pictures I sent to my partner have a very similar look and feel to them.  But I am in awe of the amazing scrapbook you put together, wow.  And tsukikakushi, you did a fabulous job setting up your brag photos.  I loved looking at everything!

SparklersOasis, what an awesome box from xeevee! The ponies all look gorgeous, and the photo ops are so fun and clever.  I didn't know all that about Dr. Seuss.  What a cool library!

wyndeboo, I love the box you put together for Mori_LeStrange.  I love this box so much.  It looks packed with goodness from corner to corner, and the items chosen are so thoughtful.  Beautiful photo albums, too.  Great stickers!

Last, but certainly not least, Doedeardarling's box from clones_rebellion.  Again, wow.  Maine, I mean... who knew? ;) And I am loving all of these incredible scrap books.  I admit I didn't do anything nearly so cool for my own partner.  :blush:

I got my box from MikeysGrrrl ages ago but am only just now getting around to posting the brag photos.  Sorry if I made you worry, MikeysGrrrl, I absolutely LOVED my swap box!!

Annoyingly, the box got heavily soaked by rain on its way here, so I hope no one minds that I am not going to post pics of the soggy box and damp wrapping. 

I was so excited to see that my shopping partner was from Canada.  I've never been and it's one of my top travel destinations.  ^.^

Here are some local brochures, business cards, and a calendar from a historical Tudor-style home called the Willistead Manor in Windsor, Ontario.  MikeysGrrrl got some really fantastic photos with the ponies there; it's definitely a place I'd love to see someday. The curb appeal alone is jaw-dropping.

I can't decide which I'm more excited about, the ponies or the extras.  Let's just say I am a fan of this whole "culture" thing, because the extras she included were just perfect.  And it doesn't hurt that I'm a huge fan of maple.  :P
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I mean, just look at that maple goodness!!  Maple tea, maple butter, maple jelly, and a variety of maple candies, some of which are even shaped like tiny little maple leaves! :heart: I also got a totem pole keychain, some badges, winter magnets, a distinctly Canadian TY Beanie Baby Bear, a notebook wearing a hoodie (yes, you read that right!), a pen, and perhaps my favourite, a lovely Canada sign that looks like it is carved from the wood of a birch tree, but is actually probably resin.  I love this so very much -- thank you, MikeysGrrrl! :hug:

Now for the ponies... they may or may not look exciting to you, depending on your pony preferences, but MikeysGrrrl paid close attention to my wish list because they almost all had asterisks by their names.  All ponies are as minty as can be and arrived ready to display, complete with tail ribbons!  I love all the ponies, although I was especially thrilled to receive Baby Ribbs in my box!  He is so hard to find in mint condition, and I have been searching for a LONG time.  >_<

Thank you, thank you, thank you, MikeysGrrrl!  One of the best swap boxes ever.  ^.^

I'm so happy that you loved everything Lochness, I really had so much fun putting this box together for you and hunting for the perfect ponies off of your wishlist. I gotta admit that I love that hoodie notebook as well (may have to go back and pick a few more up) ;) I'll post some of the pics I took in a few minutes, just gotta upload them to photobucket :)

There is also a G1 pony cup and magnets made from Braq's bottle caps. For some reason I can't find the pictures for them.

And my kitties enjoyed the treats you sent quite a bit. It was hard to get pictures of them they were so intent on the treats.
