Title: Hello from South Dakota!!!
Post by: Upthehill on January 26, 2015, 03:42:48 PM: Hi,

My name is Jill, hence upthehill..I am 40 yrs old and loved MLP as a child and it is one of the things my sister and I collected together and played with together, and did almost kill each other doing..So now as we have gotten older we love going through pictures and talking about our ponies, we even took ours out and they were so loved, some without tails, or had their hair washed so many times it is no longer soft and shiney...I have decided to start collecting with the round puffy stickers, and almost can't keep from purchasing every pony I see...I hope to make new friends and make sure I am not purchasing from bad people by being able to consult experts in this field...Thanks for having me!!!

This is a great place to add to your collection - just make sure you check a sellers feedback before you hand over money. I personally only trade with really well known members (because I live half way around the world from most!) and I've never had a problem :)

Enjoy the forums :D

First off, very clever username there. Sometimes we love our ponies a little too much, but hey, you were a kid, it happens. Puffy stickers are fun to collect, best of luck adding to them! Enjoy the forums!

Post by: Upthehill on January 28, 2015, 04:26:27 PM: Thanks for all the welcoming to the arena!!! My sister likes going through our ponies and hanging out talking about how we played with the ponies, but she doesn't collect...I am in Sioux Falls and am excited to learn more about the pony world...

Thanks again for all the pony hugs!!!
