Minnesota ~I Heart Ponies~ Valentine’s Day Pony Party! **pics added**

[mngusty]

Yay!!  Im excited!  I just know what my book tells me Aurora, lol.  I don't own any of the Applause versions, but would assume they'd say  "Applause" on them! 

[Aurora]

Which book? My Debra Birge Book doesn't say much about the plushies. I've been considering getting the big pink book, but so far the internet has answered all my questions!

I just happened into a few MIB Sylvanians. Is there anyone interested in them? I can bring them along if anyone shows any interest, I haven't gotten my ebay mojo up and running yet, I don't imagine I will do it in time for the meet.

[ponyqueen]

I like Sylvanians!! I have a few families already, but I'd love to see what you have!  Might be useful in our trade!

[Aurora]

I'll bring them! My "One Tote" is getting full!

I have a really fun idea for a craft project, I bought the pieces last night. Now I just need the time to finish it.

By the by, I asked my nephew if he wanted to come- I feel like I will have at least one person along with me. Are we doing a potluck again for food? I make a mean sweet-n-sour pork- with humanely raised pork, even! I can't account for how the pineapples were raised, though.

[ponyqueen]

I hadn't planned on requesting a potluck- didn't want to stress anyone out!  I am going to make a cake and have some little hors d'oeuvres. Otherwise, the party is scheduled for between lunch and dinner, so peeps shouldn't get too hungry.

I should also add- if you wish to bring something, please do! I know a few of us also love to bake or share fav recipes (like the pork dish), so we will have room on the table for a few extra dishes. Just if you'd rather not worry about making/buying anything, no pressure!

Just discovered MLP valentines at Target, but I think I'll still make mine!

Summer Hayes book. It's my pony bible!!  I'll bring it & show you!!

I sort of missed the time on the first page, I was too excited about the meet! I might make a batch of cookies or something, but I won't make the pork this time. I'll save that for our meet in the summer/fall.

I'd like to look at the Summer Hayes book, I have her G3 books and they are beautiful. I just don't think I've ever needed more of a guide than the ones I have, but if yours has plushies, what else is mine missing?

Ponyqueen, are they the scratch-off color kind? I bought a couple packs of those just to fill in the collection, I'm thinking of putting them into valentine boxes too. I buy the boxes of valentines every year (usually on clearance) and rarely have a chance to use them.

I'll be going through the old stickers this weekend- the ones that are meant to stick into the book. I don't suppose anyone has an extra sticker book?

[loverofbalto]

I wish I could but I work until 5 and then I have a date with the fiance.  I wish I could be there.  Have fun everyone.

[ponyqueen]

Aurora- I don't have an extra sticker book... not sure I even have one, although it would be on my wish list! Also, I will be making my own Valentines this year.

loverofbalto- Sorry you can't join us, but I hope you have a great dinner date!

Hmmmmm can't decide if I'll make angel food cake or chocolate cake for the party!

I bought a sticker book. If I find them in bulk, I'll get more.

The obvious and Scooby-Doo answer to this is BOTH CAKES!

[Nimrodel]

Hubby and I will be there!  :-D   I found some cute pony valentines too.  Should we bring anything special?  Inexpensive pony prizes?   

AquaticNeon:  Yay, could you please bring one of the posters?  I'd love to buy one.  :-D

[Silver Glade]

I vote Devil's Food chocolate!

Hm now that you mention it, it would be pretty smart if I made angel food cake AND devil's food chocolate cake!

I just added a "What to Bring" section in the main post, pretty minimal since this is a mini party, but for sure valentines for each guest and 1 or 2 G1 items for dice game:

What to bring
One Valentine for each attending member (can be simple or ornate, homemade or store bought)
One or two G1 items for dice game (gifts should be $1-$3 value G1 items. They can be ponies, accessories, merch, plush, backcards, paper ephemera, art, or G1 retro items. I will probably add an item or two of higher value as well, because FUN!)
Item for show and tell if participating
Art supplies for "draw together" if participating
Ponies/items for selling
Cash for buying

Sounds like fun!  I'll have to check a few things, but put me down as a maybe!
