MLPTP EVENT MLPTP's 2022 Halloween Swap Brags!

Omg @Locket :cry:

I feel like I seen this rarity before and for some reason I couldn’t get my hands on her! Maybe it was a dream I dunno, but she’s here now!

And I love the little cupcake pony! So cute!

And I love the little black cat!

Thank you so much for everything!

What fun goodies! What is the cemetery thing with the skeletons on it? It looks cute!
 
Yay! There was a giant box in my mailbox after work today….but I had to run straight to the Arcade to help out there and my outgoing box wasn’t quite finished yet….and I promised myself I would not open my box until the one I was sending was ready, and I still wanted it to be perfect! So, I got it all ready to ship and it will go out in the morning….

AND I OPENED MY AMAZING BOX from @Cactusflower!

It was super cool to open it at the Arcade, too, as that’s where all the black lights are! The wrappings are adorable and I love decorated cardboard gift boxes. I will totally reuse this one for sewing bobbins or kitchen clips!

There were cute Halloween socks and kitchen towels (which I never have enough of!) and tattoos! My granddaughter will steal those from me and be completely adorable with them I am sure! There was a haunted house and glowing skeleton hands and Halloween stampers - and I love stampers - and a super cute skeleton unicorn!! (Depicted below wearing one of the ribbons, just because.) I loved all the cool and creepy stuff, but ... let's talk about the ponies!

@Cactusflower sent me FOUR adorable ponies! Seashell and Lofty, who are just lovely - both of whom I needed for my collection! Fifi, who I have never owned before, even as a kid when I had SO MANY ponies....and since I do have Baby Fifi, that gives me another momma and baby set! *AND* BF Gusty, still in the box! I really think I underestimated how gorgeous her burgundy cutie mark would be! Love loVE LOVE them all! I couldn't resist taking another few pictures once the lights were low and the blacklights were on at the arcade.

@Cactusflower, thank you so much! This was a lovely box and so much fun to open that my husband even stopped what he was doing to join me and celebrate with me. :flutter2::purpleheart::Flutter4:

So glad you liked it. I enjoyed putting it together.
 
My box just arrived and I haven’t even ripped into it and I’m feeling very overwhelmed. (It could be, because I am very overtired and sick atm but thank you already @darklys.)

As I work my way through my box I will share a more proper brag and thank you. :pumpkin:

I'm not a part of the swap this year, but I'm having fun reading this thread and seeing all the goodies you all got!
Me too!
 
W-O-W!!! I am just flabbergasted and unsure how to process this epic box that @darklys sent me. Firstly, thank you! This was a very well planned and curated box for me. Surprise, excitement, adrenaline and tears all flowed through my system as I opened each gift that was so lovingly wrapped.

(Yes, I have very carefully opened each gift so I can reuse this beautiful paper next year.) I need to know, @darklys did you MAKE this pumpkin paper!?!! Let’s all take a moment to adore some of the papers:

I also need to know where you got this amazingly adorable black tissue paper? These adorable little gift bags. So cute!! They’re so beautiful and well made. Sorry I’m gushing but I admire beautiful wrapping paper so much.

To what everyone is actually here for, just like in person I am unsure where to start. So, let’s start with the Halloween themed treats.

It’s no secret that I love homemade and scented beautiful things. Boy oh boy did Darklys find some hidden gems for me. Lush items that I will not only use but just sit and sniff until I take them upstairs to the bathroom. I super appreciate the business cards because I will be purchasing from these small shops in the future. But here is the gold mine of all the adorable wax melts, bath and shower goodies and mini candles with adorable little charms and a really cool handmade pin.

Next up! We all wanted to know what in the hay @darklys was doing with that yarn, right? Well they were making a warm and cozy hat and scarf! Both of which will be great for the freezing Canadian winters and my lack of keeping my internal body temperature right now since my surgery. Best of all they’re both so soft and cozy and match my winter coat!! Then the amazing G4 Halloween book complete with stickers! Madien Fairhair who will take a special place in my LLL collection as she was a loved doll from Darklys childhood toys. A sweet plush Stitch who will match my new car steering wheel cover and be another car mascot with my giant Pua pig (photo of Pua coming). Lots of yummy treats I can eat with my new dietary restrictions. (Thank you!!!) But honestly my favourite Panda Mei. This dang plushie has been something I’ve wanted since Disney released it. Turning Red was my literal preteen/teenage life, I live in Toronto, I was at Skydome’s box office with my friends buying boy band tickets and obsessing over boy bands. I was the grade A student who was also very creative and quirky who had the “weird” friend group. This movie holds such a special and important part in my heart (along with Lilo and Stitch) so to have this Mei, you’ve no idea how excited I was.

Next up, Clover and Fred got some goodies too! They are most happy with the sweet and on theme toys. Fred very quickly stole and hoarded two (Frankenstein’s monster and the bat), Clover couldn’t decide what she wanted and went from each toy for about an hour. Then she ko’d with the bat. As I sit typing this long brag, Fred is gnawing on the orange “boo” bone and couldn’t be happier.

Last but most certainly not least, the ponies. Holy guacamole did I get even more spoiled here too. Not only did Darklys find me one Hidden Dissectible but found series one and two!! Then went and spoiled me even more with the G5 Mini worlds Hitch, Izzy & Pipp mini playsets and the Amazon exclusive mini figure set!! Flabbergasted. I’m honestly and truly just beside myself. When I am feeling a bit better I will post better photos of the minis AND the HD’s all set up - I need to make room in the craft room for these guys and gals.

Again, thank you so much @darklys for your generosity, kindness and thoughtfulness in curating this box for me. I love everything in it. The hand towel is currently hanging up in the downstairs powder room (I forgot to photograph it, sorry!!).

ETA:
Here’s the Hidden Dissectibles I got.

The pumpkin paper and black tissue paper are both from Lush, as is the orange knot-wrap. The canvas bags I ordered online. :)

The hat is cheviot and the scarf is a wool/alpaca blend. They were dyed with jacquard acid dyes and might smell a bit like vinegar because I only had time for one rinse in order to get them dried, knit, and out on time. So, if they do, just do them a little wash and they'll be fine.

Did you see the card? Nixie drew you a pumpkin :)

I'm glad you liked your box =D I had so much fun shopping for you :D

PS. Clover cuddling that bat is giving me life

NO!! And I searched the box before opening any gifts. Was it attached to anything? I still have all the wrapping and bags and the box. I will go searching in the morning.

Ha ha, of course it’s Lush, I should’ve known better. (I knew the orange wrap was Lush but wasn’t sure about the black or orange, for sure thought you made the orange one too.)

They all smell like the lush bar soap. Lol BUT should I wash them again before wearing? And should I wash them on their own I guess too? Your note for care is there I just don’t remember atm. :oops:

I’m happy you had fun shopping for me. I tried to make it relatively easy.

Ha ha!! She gives me life everyday. Honestly one of the most sassy but full of life dogs I’ve ever had.

It was attached to the box on top.

I just realized that one of your dissectibles... it seems like Twilight? ... isn't there. So, I will need to send that along. Gosh, I can't ever just do a good job with packing and shipping a box. D: *cursed*

They've all been rinsed really well once! They should be fine. It's just some people hate the smell of vinegar (and it can linger). I personally like the smell. But, I did pack them with the soaps, so yeah...probably no vinegar smell. You will smell like a LUSH store :D

The other day, Lynnix's visitation supervisor asked to use the bathroom (generally, they're not supposed to, but hey, gotta go, right?), and when she came out she was like, "your bathroom smells like a LUSH store" and it made me so happy, hahaha. I pass this joy to you.
 
Wow @Skybreeze that's an amazing box!! Those pups look so sweet. @darklys did you right!!

Now it's my turn to show off my amazing box from @Daintress !! I had to wait patiently all day at work and an hour long commute to get home and eat dinner before I could spread out in the floor and open it. It was worth the wait! The package was so cute with little Halloween stamps and Firefly stamps!!
IMG_20221017_184355.jpgIMG_20221017_184404.jpg I love the way it was all wrapped up in fabric, that's a great idea! IMG_20221017_184817.jpgIMG_20221017_185115.jpg
I'll start with the extras! There's a ton of wonderful colored pencils and a coloring book, I will be doing that on my lunch break! A beautiful purple lanyard I plan on taking to PFF!! Some chocolates, yum my favorite. Two super fun slap bracelets and some awesome dice! My boys kept occupied with those while I opened the rest. I love this beautiful moon dangle, what type of material is this, did you make it? The soaps are amazing! I can't wait to use them, they're so pretty!
IMG_20221017_185307.jpgIMG_20221017_185330.jpgIMG_20221017_185538.jpgIMG_20221017_185558.jpg
I could see this in the box and thought oh no my candy has come open, but to my surprise, it's a candy corn garland! It was in a perfect ball. I have never seen anything like that before, so perfect for my tree!!!
IMG_20221017_185813.jpglittle did I know after I got done and went to put it on my tree, there's an adorable brush able Scootaloo wrapped up in the middle of it :lolpony: IMG_20221017_191013.jpgIMG_20221017_191845.jpgIMG_20221017_191850.jpg I love it.
Then there's the pony stuff....
The first was a blind box pin! I've had my eye on these! It was Cotton Candy!! She's so cute too. And another Scootaloo!! I can't get enough of those adorable eyes. And don't worry about her cutie mark, she doesn't have one yet at this stage in her life, that's why it's not on her. She's a cutie mark crusader trying to figure out what it will be <3 IMG_20221017_185825.jpgIMG_20221017_185943.jpg
Then oh my goodness I got the most amazing and sweet custom! A flocked Firefly, she's gorgeous and I love her so much!! You did a great job!! She looks so happy in my army!
IMG_20221017_190129.jpgIMG_20221017_194025.jpg
And I can't wait to put my Firefly sticker somewhere (but where??) Then there's the babies! Love me some babies! I have my first Fancy Pants baby Glider! I love this pose, now I really want the rest of the set!! And sweet baby sniffles and snookums with some really adorable pompom barretes. Good thing I have this new shelf, it looks like I may have to get the other one out soon! IMG_20221017_190344.jpgIMG_20221017_193934.jpgIMG_20221017_193952.jpg
Ruby Apple had to join the party and play with my ribbon. IMG_20221017_190907.jpgIMG_20221017_190922.jpg.
I can't thank you enough @Daintress your box was great and it made my week! I especially love my Firefly addition!!
 
I love this beautiful moon dangle, what type of material is this, did you make it? The soaps are amazing! I can't wait to use them, they're so pretty!
A good friend of mine made that out of resin! It's a craft I haven't tried yet, except to do the bar top out in our game room. But I'd like to try it someday. :) I do make the soaps myself, though.

I especially love my Firefly addition!!
I am so glad you like her! She was only my second try at flocking (and she was WAY better than my first attempt, believe me!!) and not perfect, but I always thought it was sad we didn't get a so soft Firefly, and figured you might like one. :)
