I'm fine either way honestly. I just had so much fun with this swap being so large last year. I personally would be more inclined to wait a few more days to see if anyone else wants to join in the fun.

No one again today.  12 is a good number for a swap anyway, but it's kind of weird given I had 30 people within a week last year. 

I'll give it another day or two, but I may close up early just to get on with it.

No new sign ups today. Boo! :(

What do you guys think about starting early if we go a few days without any new sign ups?  I want to give everyone a chance to see the swap, but it would be super annoying if we all just sit here for a couple of weeks with no one joining.
Fine with me! I'm itching to get shopping lol
Same! I love to shop, and I'm so ready to get going. I also have my question list ready. :P

Re: 2014 Ornament Swap - CLOSING APPLICATIONS BY SAT 10/25 9amPST

Welp, I've had no new applications for a few days now.  But to be fair I'll announce that I'm closing early in case anyone saw the swap but thought they had more time.   So on Saturday I'll spend the day sorting out partners.

Wiccanpony1 I love the wand ornaments!! Where did they come from?

They are from an online store: www.alivans.com  Every year that make a super limited amount of wand ornament.  I think for the last 10 years they've been making them.  I got Wiccanpony into buying them when I first started this swap, but I have been collecting them for about 7 years.  Oh to get the few I'm missing.  I'd be so happy.

It's a random swap anyway, so having odd or even doesn't matter at all.

Like Xeevee said they are from Alivains online shop they are really wonderful and only make about 500 a year the shipping is a little pricey but it is worth it:)
Xeevee I know what you mean,I wish I could get my hands on some of the other years too:)
I cant wait for partners!!

Ooh, I almost missed this. I had tons of fun shopping for my partner last year, definitely joining again.

//Edit.

Approved, thank you xeevee! Here's my answers:

1. What colours do you prefer:
The usual christmas colors; red, blue, green, white, gold and silver. I also like greys and browns.

2. Do you want or are you opposed to Religious ornaments (please be specific as there are lots of different religions that celebrate holidays this season)?:
Religion is not part of my holidays, please no crosses or anything like that for me. Things like stars or winged animals are okay though.

3. What Themes do you like (santa, snow flakes, carousels, funny, etc)?
All animals, carousels, toys. I tend to dislike funny and cartoony things on my tree.

4. What candy do you like or dislike?
Big lover of chocolate, caramel and mint, not a huge fan of coconut or alcohol flavors.

5. Would you prefer one expensive amazing ornament, or lots of little cheaper ones, something in between?
I'll leave this choice completely up to my partner. I'm fine either way.

6. Are you happy to get glass ornaments (they break easily)?
If they are packed carefully for shipping, yes.

7. What do you collect?  Would you like these collections reflected in either the ornaments or the extras in your swap box.
I collect ponies and pigs. Pig ornaments and extras are a sure way to my heart, and pony accessories, stickers and stuff like that is of course always welcomed.

8. Are there any customs issues that are relevant (for example, Australia can be funny about things like straw)?
I don't think there's anything special that applies only to Finland, just the usual international stuff, like no nail polish etc.

Group questions:

partner do you have any interest in the new G1 pony ornament?
You mean the Cotton Candy one? She's lovely, I'd like to add her to my collection some day.

Would you like some hand crafted ornaments as extras?
Sure, I love handmade things.

Do you like tree crackers? The ones that go bang not the ones you eat!
Ooh! I've heard of these, but I've never actually seen one. I'm very curious about them.

Are glittery ornaments ok? Also how much glitter?
I love glitter, feel free to go crazy with it.

What kind of chocolate do you each specifically like? Dark, white, milk, etc? Do you like hot chocolate?
All kinds, but milk chocolate with something like mint, caramel or jelly inside is my favorite. I love hot chocolate.

Does anyone like mint (white or green) or peppermint (red and white) candy? Which do you perfer and do you like it with chocolate?
I love mint too, peppermint candy canes are the best, and definitely mint with chocolate.

Does anyone like pickle ornaments?
I already got one last year.

Do you like christmas socks/ fuzzy socks as an extra?
I'm not really a sock person.

Do you like stickers?
Yes, I love stickers.

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate... What do you like and dislike?
I drink lots of tea and hot chocolate, but coffee tends to give me a headache.

Do you mind any art as extras? Do you have any favorite ponies/ponysona?
Oh, I would love some art. I draw a lot myself. My favorite pony is Fizzy.

Regarding hot drinks, what devices do you have for making them (tea pot, tea infuser, kurig coffee machine)?
I just have an electric kettle and a tea infuser. Nothing fancy.

Partner, can you name some small things you typically like to receive as extras so I can get an idea of your likes? Ex: stickers, candy, jewelry, pens, lotion, etc?
Hmmm. Well, I like candy. I also like pretty stickers. I like pony sized stuff and accessories. And I like surprises. Be creative and don't stress too much, it's just extras.

Partner, do you like customs or alternate rehairs?
I don't collect them, no :blush:

Do you like scented holiday candles?
Sure.

Do you like gingerbread men? (The designs, cookie, or scent)
Yes to all three.

Do you like Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer, Frosty, or Santa??
They are all okay. Rudolf being a reindeer and therefore an animal is of course my favorite of the three.

everyone should have their partners now.  If I have done something like sent you yourself, or you have any other questions, let me know.
