Introductions / Re: Nice to meet you!
« on: August 22, 2012, 03:44:42 AM »
 :blush: It's been a while since my last visit, but I thought I'd let you know...
I'll be back, but it might take a while as my relationship ended (from two sides, so friendly, luckily) and I have to find a new place to live.
I found one now so my cat Sam, my 200-ish ponies and I are in the middle of a move (moving 130 km away from where I am   ^.^ , going back to my birth province, Friesland).

See you all asap!
*hugs and waves*

Thanks Amber_Marie!

I just finished another MLP related digital painting *giggles*.
I gave Cotton Candy my City of Heroes based character's outfit!
So basically, This is what my CoH char would look like if she were a pony!
Just a bit of fun really.

Arts & Crafts Corral / Darth Delicious's Art Gallery - Picture Heavy-
« on: June 07, 2012, 06:46:55 AM »
Hi! I figured I might as well open a little art gallery here where I can show you Hasbro related art I did and perhaps some photo's of photoshoots I did with some of my MLP's (or Fairy Tails).
If you want to see more art (non-pony-related, that is), check my Deviant Art page  :) .

So I'm going to start with a drawing.
Now, I did not draw this, I only coloured it.
mainframe110 offered some free pony commissions and I managed to get one!  ^.^
This is Cotton Candy, she drew for me. And I'm soooo pleased with it!!  :inlove:

Last but not least, I thought it was time I made my own avatar. So I got out my favourite pony, Cotton Candy and took some pictures of her too.
Well... my new avatar is the final result  ;) .

When I have new material to show you, I'll post it in here!
Hope you liked these.

Pony Corral / Re: Ponies you used to dislike but now love
« on: June 03, 2012, 01:07:11 AM »
Hehe fun topic!

I grew attached to my baby "Catpony".
When I got her on the fleemarket for only 10 Eurocents, I thought her to be not quite charming at all.
But I started to adore her as soon as I notest that she was one of my best buys!

Now, to me, she looks all pretty. And her hair still changes when I put her in the sun!  ^.^
I guess my love for Catpony came with a price *giggles*.

I'm missing the basic Earth, Unicorn and Pegasus Ponies!

I'd choose Earth pony ...duh.. Cotton Candy *giggles*
But the other two would be a glow 'n show pony.. I love those!
Or if I'd be a guy I'd definitely wanted to be a Big Brother!

 :shakefist: to her and  :hug: for you!

It sadens me to read about so many unreasonable and bluntly said, mean people around.  :( :mad:
I really hope things will work out for the best (for you in any case).
Those ponies should not go to her! They are way too precious to go to such an unfair person!

Also.. I noticed with that specific member: Last Active: Today at 06:43:28
(not sure about which timesetting was used)
So... checking things out...but not responding?  :mad:

Good luck to you. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Pony Corral / Problem identifying MLP Accessoiries
« on: May 31, 2012, 01:15:13 PM »
Hi Ponies!

Can you help me identify some or maybe all of the following accessoiries?
It's possible that not all is MLP related... I got most of this in a lot I obtained just a few days ago.
But I can't seem to find where they belong.

Italian Peachy was happy to show some pins and hats and stuff. Oh and a tutu or skirt, or whatever it might be.

Then there are some (to me) mystery combs and a brush:

En the last picture is of something. I really have no clue what it is. Is it MLP related at all? Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance!  ^.^ Very much appreciated!

I just got back... and oh my... It's not promising! So... get  yourself some chocolate (just in case), sit down and take a deep breath!

First I went to the most common place to send stuff, PostNL (usted to be TNT Post):
They gave me a folder.  ^.^ There's more info in there then on their website. So here goes!

Maximum size (envelope or box): 100x50x50 cm

The price depends on if you want a Track & Trace number (to follow your package) or not.
The current prices to send from the Netherlands to Outer-Europe (like America) are:

0 - 2 kg without Track and Trace number: 17.10 Euro's = 21.27 USD
(without Track and Trace number is only possible for packages with a max of 2 kg)

Including Track and Trace number:
0 - 2 kg: 24.30 Euro's = 30.22 USD
2 - 5 kg 34.30 Euro's = 42.66 USD
5-10 kg 58.30 Euro's = 72.51 USD
10 - 20 kg 105.30 Euro's = 130.97 USD

Oh, with PostNL for sending in Europe without track and trace:
 EUR 1: 8.50 Euro's
 EUR 2: 10.20 Euro's
 EUR 3: 11.05 Euro's
 
 And the rest is with Track and Trace number, like I pasted in a reply earlier.
 
t/m0-2 kg
(with Track & Trace)
2-5 kg  5-10 kg 10-20 kg20-30 kgRetourserv.

WereldAlle overige landen (all other countries)
To America, it would be "Wereld" (which means world)
 
With DHL:
 If I were to send 1 package with a size of 20x15x10 that weighs no more then 700 grams it will cost me 94.65 Euro's = 117.73 USD.
So.. basically DHL is out of the question!
The lady on the phone was all but nice actually. She spoke to me like I was some stupid cow, with a sigh after every question I asked. *rolls eyes*.
Custumer Care, my a***!

She told me that they can't send to Russia. As Russia doesn't accept packages to individuals. Only from business to business.
I have to go back to the postoffice and I will ask there what they do with packages for Russia.
To be continued!

Post Merge: May 31, 2012, 03:57:07 AM


I e-mailed Post.nl about sending packages to Russia.
Waiting for reply.

I got a reply and Russia shouldn't be a problem! :D

Pony Corral / Re: MLP Arena mentioned in the news

And still, they don't take the MLP community serious huh? *giggles*

Indeed thanks for the input!  ^.^

But yeah, I have to agree with Moondancer115, Shipping to a neighbourland is already over half of the price of shipping to "outer-Europe". 

I wonder if the rates are this high in Germany or Belgium or any European land for that matter *ponders*.

Tomorrow I'll be going to the Postoffice and will ask them if there's any other way.
I'll also be visting the DHL Service point here in town and I'll ask them the same.
It's outrageous that they "cut off" the Netherlands like this. *waves fist*

I'll let you know what they told me.

Very much appreciated indeed!

What I found sofar is through DHL and Post.nl
These are Post.nl Current rates for sending a package:
t/m0-2 kg
(with Track & Trace)

WereldAlle overige landen (all other countries)
To America, it would be "Wereld" (which means world), at 24.30 Euro's, which is over 30 USD.

What I have from DHL is the following:
Gewicht   ≤ 2 kg
≤ 5 kg boeken, brochures, catalogi en folders
Afmetingen   Min: 140 x 90 mm
Max: L+W+H ≤ 900 mm
iedere zijde ≤ 600 mm
Minimumtarief    30 EUR per zending
30 Euro's. That's even worse! That is over 37 USD!

For "Express" The rate for an adult Pony (box 13x15x9 cm) or a bubble-envelope, using the online DHL-ShipNow on their site... I get to 48.50 Euro's *faints*. That's over 60 USD!

Are there ANY other options?
