Found me some Uber Sweet trades so I am closing this up!! Thanks again everypony who was interested in trading with me!!

Seriously, I do. I have been very out of the custom loop here at the Arena for the past couple of months and it's starting to bug me! All of my money is going elsewhere right now and I'm just not getting my ponyfix!

  So, here's the deal: I am hoping to trade a custom for a custom. I have a few ponies that I am open to trading by both my myself and by other artists. I'm not looking for more than one (maybe two ) new girls so whoever has a pony that I like and offers first gets the trade. So sorry, but no commission-style trades ATT. I'm just too busy.

  Here is an example of what I have available out of my own studio that I would consider trading, but I must state that None of these ponies are for sale as they are all part of my own personal collection

  Thanks for looking! PM me with pictures of any customs that you have that you might like to trade!

I'm just flat irritated and cannot help but feel that I may be getting scammed. Sooooo, about two months ago I bought my eldest boy a pair of dance shoes so that he could Zumba with me. Being the space cadet that I can sometimes be I totally did not buy the right size shoe for DANCE shoes (these were a 14 and I ended up buying him a size 19 dance shoe!!!) and sold them a couple of weeks ago to offset the cost of the new shoes. (And am now wishing I had just given them to the younger boy who the shoes fit but had no interest in dancing. Oh, 20/20 hindsight, you beeyatch!)
  The buyer contacted me in advance to be sure the shoes would fit him, paid right away and left me positive feedback once he received the shoes. I also left him positive fb and thought that everyone was a happy camper.

  Then I got a message on Friday saying the shoes had "fallen apart" in a weeks time. I requested pictures and received these;

  I was appalled! Even though my listing stated "No refunds or returns, item sold As-Is" (they looked brand new when they left my hands) I still refunded him half of the purchase price, thus splitting our losses. He responded saying that he did not consider this to be fair compensation and that I should refund him the entire purchase price.

  I filed a report against him for abusing the refund policy (though I'm not entirely if sure he has violated any rules requesting a refund for the entire purchase price) and have requested advise from eBay on what steps to take next as I'm at a loss. As a buyer I totally see where he's coming from, but damn, I paid $35 for them originally, lost ten dollars reselling, refunded him another $12.50 and now he is more or less telling me that I should give them to him since they are damaged.

  It's taken all of my restraint not to ask him "What the phoenix were you doing in these shoes????" I could honestly understand old soles crumbling and I have no idea on the actual age of these shoes having purchased them "new without box" on eBay myself, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260996901322
  But the damage on the toes really make me wary; shoes don't do that on their own in a week if only danced in. I can't help but think he had a horrible dance partner who just destroyed his shoes and now he wants me to pay for damages inflicted by his horrible dance partner!

  I honestly don't know what to think and would like to believe him that he is the victim here, but I have had waaaay too much experience with online shoppers to just be so blindly trusting. *sigh*

  So, I want opinions: What would you have done? Have I handled this as I should have or should I have gone about it differently? What the hay do you think happened to those shoes????!!
Thanks for reading, everypony.

 image from ghost of the doll..
I'm looking for the Pink "finder" plus the key to go with the set, as well.

I'm also looking for Monster High dolls. Nobody in particular, really. Show me who you got if you're up for trading.

I prefer trades 99% of the time, but will purchase the right pony for the right price. My complete wants are here, but the list is long and I'm not actively hunting anything but these items att.

  Thanks for looking!! I hope that somepony can help me out!!

This pretty girl was supposed to be my entry for Hasbro's 2012 Custom Design contest, but I missed the deadline (even though she was done over a week ago. Jeesh!) I meant to go back and do some tweaking. This is only slightly similar to what I had in my head.. Oh well, that just means I can turn her into a real custom in the future. Silver linings.... Hmmmm, maybe I should change her name to that if I ever do customize her..

This base designed by a very talented Deviant was used with very little changes, http://caninelove.deviantart.com/art/MLP-FiM-Pony-Base-2-238204886?q=gallery%3Acaninelove%2F30087193&qo=8

Thanks for looking!

I got this gorgeous hunk in a fantastic trade with my sweetums, PartyPony!! I used a full hank in replacing his tail. It was pretty funny as he seemed rather to protest to having such long and luxurious curls; as I was styling him he fell over. I could almost hear him saying, "Oh Ponyfeathers! What have you done to my tail??!!"
 

Here are my three beautiful boys together,

Now if I can only someday, somehow manage to snag Icey that'll be all four MBs from my wantlist... Of course, then I'll have to have FireBall and Sunburst to complete the set... Of course. Oh, ponies what a vicious cycle you do create in me!

Thanks for looking ponies!

This is..... the... most emotional brag of my life.. When you can hold in your hands the tangible proof of an awesome team of Moderators.... Well, it's an awesome feeling. Warm fuzzies x 200%

 I received an unexpected parcel in the post and was floored to find this FS MLPA custom!!! The pony was customized by CSA and Jupi hand-painted each Mods signature onto her! Isn't she just a DREAM??!!

In celebration of my 18th wedding anniversary I am happy to present "Crystal!"

She was given a horn sculpted from Apoxie Clay, new eyes, mane and tail and the tips of her wings were painted, all with acrylics. She was then given a full-body glitter coat, except the tips of her wings which I left bare of glitter so that I'd have a place to hold on to her! I love this girl! I need to get better pictures of her shinyness!
