[buddafly]

I got my box today from maycrestmom! I'm uploading the pics as I type this - so super stoked over everything I got apparently she is a fellow raver (once a raver, always a raver!) and sent me goodies for my next outing! (I don't go out often anymore - but this will be very welcome when I do!)

box:

cute card:

everything out of the box:

contents of bag one:

princess royal blue (set completer for 1st group of princess ponies!), princess dawn, and princess pristina. all in gorgeous condition!

also found these at the bottom -

they light up a vase you can put flowers in! I love this so hard!

contents of bag two:

my first windy wing pony, flurry she's adorable. my husband got me the bigger version of this rainbow dash for christmas, so they make an adorable set on my bookshelf chocolates are always welcome, too

contents of bag three:

neat little glitter bag... in it I found...

lots of tea!

contents of bag four:

skyrocket! she's very pretty also in this bag were glowstick things, and the most amazement of all time...

a rave headband!

no, really... I think out of everything I was most excited about this! I love cyberlox stuff, and this thingy has an added bonus...


(click pic to see video)

it's the most awesome of awesome (20% cooler) rave accessory I might have ever owned.

everything all together:

(haha... there are some things in that pic that are not part of the swap box - I was just too excited to post, so I didn't make it super pretty)

MCM was very specific in my love of sparkly things and rave gear I love it all, and it was worth the wait thank you so much!!

 

[Skycakes]

what a awesome box. Looks like it was full of great goodies. I love flurry what a cute pony she is.

 

[Zaradess]

I'm glad you like everything PrincessLio!!
But have you found the cake for the Bride Pony as well?
I hope so...

 

[PrincessLyra]

Lol! I forgot to mention the cake! Thank you so much! I put it somewhere safe to protect it from Mitzy the Crazy Kitty, and it slipped my mind when I gathered everything to take the pictures. :doh5B15D: Oh, and the Winnie the Pooh stickers were really cute too!

Speaking of Disney, for a while, every time I looked at Wigwam "Steady as the Beating Drum" from Pocahontas started playing in my head.

 

[maycrestmom]

oh my.... ok, so I couldn't wait until "little christmas" (Jan 6th - three kings day etc.) to open my second swap box so I had to open it today....

O M G

so OK, I take a bit of pride in thinking I can translate a wish list to a cool swapbox (so glad I got such awesome partners I had a blast) but I have been

humbled today... truly humbled

GOTBUNNY =

ok - so have to run and pick up daughter from karate, so will be back to post more = but here is a teaser

I cannot contain the squee any longer

there will be more to this brag... there is much rejoicing today

:bliss::yay::bighug:

I just wanna come through the internet and tackleglomp ya right now

oh man, what a day

 

[buddafly]

woooow.... a custom minty! she looks awesome

 

[maycrestmom]

oh I have more customs to show off buddafly, but yes! the Minty is totally an amazing centerpiece on the minty shelf =

so hmmmm = this is a plug for "dual citizenship" on the pony boards, 'cause of the benefits my partner had about knowing me over at the arena (still maycrestmom)

YES I am a minty fan... kinda fits = I'm an Irish mutt and a March baby = I love green and who couldn't love a good luck clover pony right? oh, and for those that know I kinda stumbled back into G1's thanks to kids and the G3's I have to say, that the wonderfully bighearted goofy/clumsy pony that is named Minty wearing - mints - on her hip is my all-time favorite = and has her own christmas special don'tcha know?

So GotBunny got it so right to put sucha PERFECT christmas pony in my box!

'cause see here is my siggy over there

bear with me = this is all tying in eventually I swear!

'cause I don't think I put down a lot about my Minty-fandom over at my wishlist page ;-) 'cause Zaradess was right, when I went back to look at my wishlist page, I did have an uber hard list

but Gotbunny... oh man = ok ok enough chat =pics time

just lookie all this stuff crammed in here!

and I just have to point out = I love love love all the home-made details :bliss: cause that's why I home-make/photoshop my cards to ya'll peeps
so thanks so much for putting in all those amazing details like little jewel paper bows !!!

So this is me with a camera totally sitting at/under our christmas tree like an excited kid = in fact = my daughter Julie jumped in to help me open stuff since she heard me giggling and squealing and all as I am opening stuff

like this ? betcha can guess

whoo hoo = me loves me some rainbows

OK - so are these guys too perfect for kids 4-6-8 to paint up?

somebody knows about necessary craft time/training to pass along the joy of creating, huh ;-) ?

so what can this be?

YAY = so loving this game ! and there are also two adorable books that came with that'll be perfect to then pass along to my niece after we are done reading them to get yet another family into MLP (mwwaa haa haa in a good way of course)

Ok = so than I am so wanting to open the "open me last" package... but I am good so .... yay again - how awesome is all this?

so now I am like = how did she know?? I have so many CP ponies that can so use these hairbows to better see their pretty faces I am so using all these guys! Oh, and the side benefit is for my girls (ok, you know I love ponies almost too much, when I look at small barrettes as first = for the ponies... so anyone else use those small hairbands for the same reason? This kinda stuff is not just for human hair?)

so the gummy candy gets snatched of course - but not before we have a laugh with the girls over how I am supposed to make sure "child is seated and supervised while eating" (I swear, it's written on those packages!)

oooh yay (again) you can never have too much lotion - especially in the winter = just love

and of course, the ornament goes right on the tree

gah = didn't realize how late it was getting :-/ gotta run again = cliffhanger = down to open me second to last and open me last now = you are not gonna believe (yes you will = its GotBunny = who you so have to check out at the arena for her amazing-ness with customs under the TOP CUSTOMIZER contests that enchantress ran not too long ago... just sayin')

 

[maycrestmom]

ya'll are patient pony peeps ok = so I have found ribbons for dressing up future customs and a unicorn rubber duck (!?) oh my... so I am finally down to the

open me second to last

and I about faint when I open it up

favorite horse is an appaloosa and this is a minty appaloosa!!! I have no words

so I am gonna just show off where she is at the foyer to greet everyone all through the winter

oh but you're right! that leaves me one more package ;-)

I love love love the home-made mints!

I let Julie do the unwrapping honors and then I am like all a giggle = it would've been a youtube clip but I had no forethought to catch the amazement but I can at least share one more picture of miss G4 Minty
