Hannah and I had a private 'Welcome Fall Swap' with BethMcBeth, and as fun as putting her package together was, I was super excited when our package arrived!
First off every side of the box was decorated with pony pictures from Gens 1, 3, and 4.

Inside were a surprising amount of packages in black paper that had been decorated with drawings by Beth and her adorable son.

Being a bigtime sucker for artwork I was ecstatic to see all the drawings, especially these two:
My all time favorite MLP and first to ever join my herd: Snuzzle

As much as I loved looking at all the beautiful pictures, I was even more excited to look at the wonderful ponies and goodies the packages contained:
The first pony I opened was Tea Leaf:

I wasn't actively collecting during G3s heyday but if I had been, this girl would've definitely been one I sought out and she's been on my wishlist for a while now.
The next pony I opened, was this lovely lady!

Next I opened Sew-and-So:

I'd always thought she was cute, loved her symbols and such, but she never really stood out among the crowd until my mom ordered me a plush of her for my birthday a few years back and since then I've been in love. I am so glad to have her as an addition to my herd!
When it came to extra's Beth did not disappoint! First there was a bag of chocolates which were torn into before even the first present was unwrapped, xD (forgot to have Hannah snap a picture of them, think I was too busy eating xD)
Then there were the cute pony stickers in the card, but there were still three presents to unwrap.
First up was some more of Tea Leaf's accessories:

Next up was another DollyMix to add to my collection:

Having been (I'm not ashamed to admit) insanely jealous of the buttons that Hannah had recieved in her presents I was very happy to see that I wasn't left out. I love/collect buttons and these ones represent so many of my favorite things that I couldn't have picked em better myself!

And last but certainly not least, Zelgadis from The Slayers! ((Long Live Zelgadis)) Where ever did you find these?! They are all so perfect!
And here is the final haul (minus the chocolate xD)
