Last Thursday I received a lovely box from Akemi-chan for the private birthday swap we decided to do. We started shopping in late February and shipped in late April. The swap was kinda belated since we have early-to-mid February birthdays, but hey, who doesn't love a chance to have all the presents and none of the getting older?
Anyway, this brag is way past due, but it's definitely not because of the box. Ready to see all the fabulous goodies??

We attached her ribbon to the inside of one of the drawers on my new craft supply box and she is currently guarding all my stickers.
Okay, now for ponies!visitors can't see pics , please

I can't believe how pretty the shades of her body and hair are together. I thought she looked nice from pictures, but she's even more lovely in person.

I love her colors and her symbols, and she reminds me of summer vacation when my aunt would babysit us and make rootbeer floats. When I was looking at Akemi-chan's interests I learned that Fizzy is the pony she collects, so it makes sense that she sent me mine.

I've been collecting the first set of princess ponies for over a year now. With Royal Blue joining my herd, the only one I'm still missing from the first set is Starburst. I can't believe I'm that close. I still have to decide if I want her and the other princesses mixed into my collection, or whether I want them all together. But that's another topic for another time.
Akemi-chan, thank you for the wonderful birthday box. I absolutely love everything that you sent. I had a great time shopping for you and opening the goodies you sent.
