Okay, now that the nitty gritty is out of the way I can share my brags. Again, I apologize to both @Twinkle-eye and @Cactusflower in my delay for posting this. Life has been kind of unexpected and hectic lately.

First package to arrive was this beautiful box from @Twinkle-eye who sent a beautifully curated box for me, best of all no tempting candies and snacks. As someone who is obsessed with wrapping paper and creative wrapping, I very much am a fan of the wrapping paper and ribbons and little note tags. I have save the paper to re-use for another time. *has no shame*

My box was filled with lots of fun crafty and custom supplies. I am excited to try the DollEmporium hair since it's not a brand I've used thanks to the shipping fee's and transit time from them. I have a few special and secret projects I have been hard at work on with a friend of mine who will be getting some of this hair.

A new blind box Pop Mart figure!! Super excited for this little figure but most excited that I didn't get another Pinkie Pie. The G5 Mini World set is super exciting and I am so tempted to open it and play with it but the MIB collector in me is screaming "don't do it." The little pug-i-fly clip is adorable and I love why you chose it, makes complete sense. She now live on my car's rearview mirror. The Fan Tail FTB was a huge surprise, as you know, I never expect anyone to take me up on my offer of my "other collections" wish list because not everyone is knowledgeable or feel comfortable fixing things. This is my first fan tail bird and she will be treasured forever and she is pushing me to get my FTB out and in their display case.

Lastly, the beautiful hand made items. You are so insanely talented and creative, like honestly how do you think up these things? The little Skybreeze sketch and drawing on the card's envelope are both going to be framed and added to my wall of Skybreeze art from friends and commissions. The book marks! They're all beautiful and great because I currently have four books on the go and I hate doing the "dog ear" paper fold in my books. They're now holding my spots in my books for me.


Then the custom Skybreeze with a custom box and comb! What the actual heck!? Firstly, beautiful. I love the colours you chose for Skybreeze's mane and tail, I especially love that you took the added time to do her little hair wisps. But the craftiness of the box, colour me extremely impressed and slightly jealous that I didn't think to do it. The tiny resin comb is also so adorable and I love that it also matches.



Thank you so much for all the work and love you put into my box. I am super in love with it and very thankful!

Next up, @Cactusflower and I were lucky and got to see each other to swap our gifts, kind of. So, the best gift of all was seeing my best pony friend in person and sharing some much needed and missed time together. You know me a little too well and also curated an amazing box for me. I will call this the G5 themed box o' plenty.

While there's been much discussion about G5 between us I am delighted that shopping for me has brought unto "the dark side" and entering the world of G5 collecting. Even if you free all your toys. ;p Anyways!

@Cactusflower fed my desire for TMNT and found this adorable and useful cup, with a cute Floppy bunny like Bingo's (if you know, you know). This little wind up chick that both the dogs are apparently afraid of and entertained me for a few minutes as they tore out of the room looking for safety from the yellow chick. Cute little pom pom bunnies that will service well for a certain bonnet contest.

Then pony stuff!! I don't know where you found them but I require more of these stickers to stick on basically everything. Then the weird G5/G4 mash up cards that are hilarious and entertaining in many ways. These will serve me well on some down time I will soon be having. Lastly a set I wasn't expecting to gain in a swap at all! I am thrilled to have this beauty of a set because it has my boy Hitch in it and they ombre'd his hooves and feathers with one of my favourite colours. This is also technically my first Sparky but he lives in his cardboard bus thing, I am sure I will find one or two this summer with garage sale season upon us.

Thank you again, so much for everything! I am tickled pink by both of your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Just for fun, here's Clover "trying out" some of the ribbons from @Cactusflower's wrapping.

Such great boxes! That custom made just for you and a custom box! So clever! Oh that Clover is adorable!!

 

[Twinkle-eye]

I am all for reusing wrapping paper, and I used my husbands trick of not removing the adhesive backing on the ribbons so they can be used again The pop mart range is SO cute, and I am concerned by that... I don't need another collection lol.

I made the comb out of UV resin

 

[Jellybean]

These are so fun to read. Someday I'm going to participate in a swap box! Someday...

I made the comb out of UV resin

UV resin makes sense. I’ve been doing a lot of resin work lately and I do like the fast cure of iv resin. Truth be told, I would’ve reused the ribbons with or without the adhesive. I am the proud owner of several glueguns lol

I did click, still small lol. that's okay! You got some nice goodies regardless!

They're so sweeeeeeet!!!

 

[Twinkle-eye]

Nice, I wanted a better look at that TMNT cup

 

[Cactusflower]

I must apologize for the delay in posting my brag. I was travelling the last couple weeks and then in chaos at work this week.

I was fortunate to see @Skybreeze in person during my trip and I received my box.

Skybreeze is all about the wrapping and this was cute and cheerfully wrapped. The unicorn basket was filled with plastic eggs contained an abundance of chocolate. I forgot how fun those plastic eggs are.

I love these bunny dish towels. I’m a weirdo and change my dish towels every season and holidays. These are currently hanging on my oven ready to use.

I’m a huge puzzler, but I never find pony puzzles. I was thrilled to receive two different puzzles.

Sky knows I’m also a huge Monster High Collector and she found these cute vinyl figures for me that I don’t have yet.

I also received three pony wear outfits to knock off my want list. As a child I was never into pony clothes. As an adult, the clothes have become one of my favourite things. I enjoy dressing up my ponies so much.

Finally, what I love about packages I receive from Skybreeze is that she includes handmade decorations. It’s creative and thoughtful and I love to keep them and use them in my own packages so others may enjoy.

Another wonderful swap box, but the best part was seeing Skybreeze in person and watching my sister’s play together. I didn’t snap a photo of us together, but Skybreeze is looking amazing.

 

[Twinkle-eye]

Bunnies!

 

[Aleikss]

All of the gifts are so amazing and thoughtful! Thank you for sharing everyone, I love seeing all of the wonderful things you've received

 

[Gingerbread]

I never really knew what to expect with the 3-D one, it's actually 2, a flat traditional puzzle and then like half the pieces also come together to do the stand up. I'm super intrigued! I'm going to save that for this weekend and let myself have some relaxing pony fun time Sunday and put it together. I will report back!

I played with the 3-D puzzle from @darklys I hadn't done one of these before and had fun putting it together



one side and then the other! How cool is that!
