Title: Pony Themed Drawings & Stencil from 1988 - image heavy
Post by: Gingerbread on February 08, 2017, 12:04:31 PM
I was going through some of my old schoolwork with my mother last month and we came across some drawings I did with the G1 stencil, an old Xmas letter to Santa and my Alphabet Book with pony-themed drawings :D I did these in 1988, when I was 8 years old. Sadly my artistic abilities have not improved :D


My alphabet book -

I have no idea why Gingerbread is purple with a red main and tail, nor why she has a horn. I don't remember having Powder as a child, but I did have Gingerbread. Maybe I didn't have her then and had seen Powder and was confused?

Dear Father Christmas
please, before I ask you what I would like for Christamas, I would like to ask you a few questions. How did Rudolph get his red nose? has any of your reindeer become pregnant before?
now on with what I would like for christmas. Please! Please! Please! give me the My Little POny Baby Bonnet School of Dance. But, please, if you can't, can you give me either a baby pony with a baby pony costume or a adult pony with "ice dance" outfit thank you.
Lots of love,
Sarah x x x x xx

I actually think I may have been 7 when I wrote this.  :lookround:



I loved my G1 pony stencil and used it a lot! I think I was 7 or 8 when I did this, I did see I kept my dark sense of humour from when I was a kid :D

That is cute  and your letter cracked me up. By chance were you interested in a vet career as a kid?

Oh my gosh, that is the cutest thing ever!!  Would it be okay if I shared the pics on my MLP Tumblr with credit and a link back here (or to wherever you prefer)?  If not that's okay of course.

Thanks everyone  ^.^ Glad I gave everyone a giggle  :biggrin:

btw that is really neat writing for a 7yr old,
 thanks for sharing. wish i could find all my pony art from childhood.

I used to spend hours on my handwriting, as naturally my handwriting is terrible! If it was a letter or something nice I would sit and concentrate so hard on it to make it look good.


Do you remember if you got any of those pony items for Christmas?

Yes I got the BBSoD, baby wear - the stripey one, I cannot remember the name, and I got the skater outfit too :D I know I would have had a pony but cannot remember which one.

That is cute  and your letter cracked me up. By chance were you interested in a vet career as a kid?
Yes lol, did it show?  :lol:

Am I crazy, or is the 3rd pony in the "I'm White!" comic saying "She is."  (She is dead??)  :lmao:

Thanks so much for permission, definitely going to queue up your amazing pics on my Tumblr!

Maybe it's a mix of Gingerbread and Galaxy? Since she's a purple(ish) unicorn with red(ish) hair and eyes, and her name also starts with a G...

I also love the little kelpie in the fish bowl, and your adorable stencil scenes! So creative for a seven-year-old!

I had to laugh at "have any of your reindeer become pregnant before?" I know we ask a lot of random questions as kids, and that one certainly is random.

You are right! :D And no worries  ;)

Could be, I don't rememeber having Galaxy as a child but that isn't to say one of my friends didn't have her, and I am sure she was in the comics :)

This is just totally awesome! Thank you for sharing!
I have some drawings I made that are a little similar to yours. And we didn't really write Letters to Christkind, but we made a kind of wishlist with paper cuttings from the catalogues. I know my mom still has them somewhere, but I always forget to scan them.
I love looking at these kind of things! Nostalgic!

(I found a diary recently from when I was about 10... The things we write and draw at that age can be quite interesting.)

Your drawings and letter are so cute!  It's great that you still have all of them because it must be very fun to look back on them.  Thanks for sharing!
