MLPTP EVENT The MLPTP's 2017 Halloween Swap - COMPLETE!

I noticed I was having a bit of a time of it trying to find certain things and went with other things because of this issue. I am super picky with my boxes also. I always feel like I could add something else ROFLOL.



Is everyone else having a great time shopping?! (Squee!) Now I get to find wrapping and extras while I wait on shipping. So exciting!

I have had some fantastic fun, but I am also just surprised at what is not in stores this year. It is just weird. I finally made it over to Walmart with R2's help. The isles were jammed packed with so many kids, it made it hard to look at things. People kept trying to steal my basket from me. I find people so obnoxious and irritating when they stare at me with that goofy grin and then try to make off with things in my basket or the basket in general. Seriously, people at Walmart are strange and give me the creeps. It is not a fun sensory experience for me at all. Coughing, sneezing, snotty nose, screaming kids half dressed with no shoes running up and down isles like monkeys. Parents on the prowl and creepy men that seem out of place looking at kids costumes. Uggggg The toy isles were even worse, stuff out on the floor, kids playing with stuff and taking things out of boxes and bags, parents taking up the entire isle with their basket, their 6 children and 4 relatives. The toy isles were very tricky, so chaotic. It was hard to figure out where stuff was at first. I was hoping to see some new toy lines I had not seen yet like I need to collect anything else lol. Was Walmart always this bad? Oh how I love my computer and online shopping. Pick an item or two but it in a virtual basket and check out. No noise, no crowds, no mess, no sickness and no lines. Walllaaaaa you are done and you never had to change out of your pj's roflol. I go over to where R2 was and the boy toy isles were so much better as far as peaceful and clean. Maybe if I wore a Stephen King IT costume I could clear the store and shop in peace. Baaaaa haaaaaa

Lol :lolpony: @tulagirl I would love to see you walking around Wal-Mart as It! All those people who don't bother watching their kids and seem to think of stores as free play areas need to be spanked. The parents! Omg, It scares me. I didn't make it through 20 minutes of the first movie, but I'd pay to see you do it. *wicked laugh*<rubbing hands together> :Zombie:

As for being picky. I think we all are to some degree. I just happened on a great deal so shopping went so quickly! I'm only waiting for one last package to arrive next week and then, when do we start posting teasers? I hope it's ok, my daughter had to add something small. Even my pup made a contribution!

This is where it's starts to get hard to be patient. Oh, also, @Gingerbread and @Peppermint Truly I hope it's ok to ship on the 11th of Oct. I can only ship on Wednesdays and if I wait I'll miss the deadline.

That is totally fine, you can ship early if you want, the deadline is just when your package should be out by :)
 
Okay so Dear Partner, yesterday I spent time wrapping up your boo goodies. I found all sorts of things for you. Lots of Halloween boo stuff to frighten you through the spook season. baaaaaa

I am thinking about making something, but this is up in the air at the moment. I do have enough time so perhaps if I move slowly I can swing it. I am not sure but I might just give this horrific idea a try.

The bulk of my box is done. I have all the pony goodness and spooky stuff. The box is kind of full and I don't have room for anything else. So, if I make something it looks like I might have to get a bigger box. Not too much bigger only slightly bigger. I may see if packing things a certain way might help too.

I am not ready to post a teaser photo yet. I already know I may have to leave something or two somethings out of the teaser photo as it would give my partner away. Must keep this ghostly secret!:frankie::batfly::Glowpump: Once again I got super lucky with a few things in your box partner because of store points. Whooo hoooo I just love store point coupons and coupons to help make a better box. Fun Fun Fun It's a real treat to pass along my obsessive shopping points onto your swap box!!!

:catmoon::catpumpkin:@tulagirl: they take stuff out of your cart?! What the heck? Sounds more like Black Friday!

I spoke too soon when I said our Walmart doesn't have Christmas stuffnout yet...They must've started this last week. I got a few more autumn Halloween stuff. There are still some things that I can think of for extras but I have probably spent a bit on that stuff already. Just so many cute things!

@nessa16 that's insane isn't it? Taking from someone else's cart! Who does that?

Of course, I'm lucky, my dog keeps people away from me on the rare occasions I do get in stores.
 
@nessa16 and @Tak

See I had walked away from my basket just a little and I guess they figured it was there for the taking. Yea I saw Christmas stuff out at Walmart too. Walmart did have some really nice fall items. I did admire though too. It did feel unusually busy and crazy in there and this was the nicer Walmart in Houston. Apparently everyone and his crazy friend, buddy of the buddy and family with in laws decided to shop for Halloween stuff the same day I did. Something has to be in the water.

I hope to have my teaser up sometime tomorrow. R2 is off and that will help me. Yuki is so demanding we actually had an argument when I wanted to use my sewing machine. Yuki fussed on the bed the entire time because, he is spoiled rotten and thinks life revolves around him. So, I gave him a piece of my mind and never heard another peep out of him. So, he got a treat. Its all my fault, I over indulge him but with a face like that who wouldn't? I like the personality of a spoiled dog. They are freaking funny. Unless you desperately need to make your husband a birthday gift by a short deadline! The worst is I have to clean up my sewing room so R2 doesn't suspect I am sewing him something. Otherwise he will start snooping.
