You have no idea how hard it was for me to give up that Napper when I opened her. *lol* She's a set completer for me too, and that one is SO MINT!

I got the bobblehead from Michaels. It was fun, but I don't think I'll be painting another anytime soon. The smell of my paint and the plaster together activated my sinuses like you wouldn't believe. I couldn't breathe for two days.

So glad that you like everything! *hugs*

Hey - how'd you know I like AJ??? o.O

I was excited you're my partner, too! You have no idea how long Napper has been eluding me. And yes - the mintiest Pony w/ tinsel in her hair I've EVER seen! So thanks for giving her up, lol. I hope you get one yourself soon.

And sorry your sinuses acted up for my AJ bobblehead - I just love her, though! My parents thought she was adorable, too. ^-^ And my dad really liked Napper.

I opened up Sweetie Belle while watching the Olympics - she is SO cute! Especially in that cute little bonnet! I was all 'aww, isn't she cute?!'-ing, and then 'aww-man!'ing when Vonn fell. o.O

Anyway, thanks, once again - I'm just totally thrilled w/ my package! (((HUGS)))

And, btw, those Reeses Cremes are DELICIOUS! o.O I'd never had them before (but being Reeses, I knew they had to be good, lol).

Yay! Glad you liked everything DBM! Were those your kitty's name's? I thought I had seen you mention them in a post and hoped they were right. I can't wait to see what crafty things you come up with. I thought it'd be good when I saw you belonged to the Stitchyland group.

Their names are Jessie and Aslan, but we often
refer to them as sassy (and Aslan is particularly
sassy at age 3, so it could be I called him sassy
and not Aslan in a post LOL). I just love that
ring, it's the cutest thing!

Ok, here come the pix!
The day this box full of pretties arrived was a
great day for a box full of pretties to arrive. I
really needed a "Picker upper" that day!
oooooooh!


And *gasp* the purple leopard spotted wrapping
paper ::does a happy jig:: See how the top tissue
paper becomes a nice place mat? And take note of
the tiny square package.


Here's everything: An ever-so-Minty Love Melody!!
*big hugs!*, two big sticker thingies... which I
have to ask what are they an example of? These are
something I haven't seen before. Behind them, in
front of the leopard spots, is... TADA!! the
coolest thing, a set of patterns to make stuffed,
felt Christmas ornaments of Majesty, Glory,
Sprinkles, Starshine, Firefly, Cotton Candy, Lemon
Drop, Blossom, Twilight and Moondancer. Skor bars,
Symphony Bar and Sweet Tarts to keep me company
while watching the Olympics, a lovely smelling
candle with pony stickers decorating it and can you
see that tiny silver thing on the Skor bar? Remember
that tiny square package?


Here is the tiny silver thing. Isn't it adorable???
So thoughtful of Gingerbread to think of our two
kitties and know how much I love 'em.


And here she is, up close, in all her glory,
holding the purple Olympic Torch (the candle came
wrapped in this lol)


Thank you so much, Gingerbread! What a fun way to
spend the after dinner hour, unwrapping all the fun
you sent.

I'm glad you like everything! The stickers are from my manufacture's roll of vintage lunchbox stickers, so if you've seen that image before it was probably on a lunchbox. So glad I could brighten your day!

Oh, *cool*! I figured they were intended to adorn some pony item-or-other, but all I could think of were smaller areas. Ah, but yes, of course. Lunchboxes!

Wow!! These are great brags!! Congrats to everyone!!


Keep them coming!!

[Peppermint Truly]

Great pics, everyone! Keep'em coming!

I was gonna upload my brag pics but then my camera died so it'll have to wait till tonight or tomorrow. I already put my new ponies up in the special shelves, and I've eaten the candy! LOL

One of the three packages I received today was my swap box from lyricalstar! She really spoiled me.

Here's the lovely wrapped box. And please excuse my pics. My customs worktable is the only clear space right now, and I had to hide a couple of swap customs.


This is what I pulled out of the box. Something for Boog too!


Unwrapped. The cutest little card! Chocolate-covered pretzels! *yum* Sweet Pea-scented bubble bath, shower gel, and lotion. Handmade earrings and a necklace - purple beads and silver star charms! A Domo magnet (now stuck to my filing cabinet) and pin. And two lovely ponies - TaF Merriweather and Lickety Split. Boog's gift isn't in the picture because he wouldn't give it up after he unwrapped it. When my laptop is fixed, I'll upload the video of him unwrapping it.

Thank you so much, lyricalstar! I love everything (and Boog did too)!

[DialgaBritesMom]

Cool stuff for Skig!! (And Boog.. can't wait to see the video LOL)

It's soooo neat that you can ship the packages looking like presents right in the post like that. What a great idea...
