Look at those bags!!!!!  She made a little bag out of MLP fruit snack bags:)  It's amazing, and my daughters were literally fighting over who was going to use it (ME!).
This is a closer picture of the handmade fabric bag.  Yes, it really is that awesome:)

I was not expecting such a lovely box full of little presents!  It was such a bright pick me up considering I've had the flu all week.  Thank you babe for this extreme kindness.  I can't even tell you how much this means to me!!  What a wonderful and kind person you are, and I am seriously in your debt.

Trader & Shipping Support / Awesome eBay seller!!!
« on: August 09, 2012, 06:58:24 PM »
For all the drama eBay has to offer, there are some sellers who just hit it out of the park.  I'd like to take the time to recognize one of those awesome eBay sellers who literally went above and beyond for me.  The best part??  I had no idea she was an Arena member when we were communicating!

I was fortunate enough to have the privilege of buying from deukalischeflut, who is Zora here on the Arena.  She went above and beyond to make this transaction smooth and friendly.  There was an incident with shipping (I swear it's me, I've had my fair share of shipping mishaps this year!) and she was generous enough to not only pay for postage again, but add ANOTHER Italian pony in the box as a surprise!!!!  Zora is generous, kind, too apologetic and an overall wonderful person.  Thank you for being so sweet!

With my eBay experiences being not so great lately, it is a breath of fresh air to encounter someone as lovely as Zora.  The way she went out of her way to accommodate me deserves public recognition.  She has reminded me that there are still some exceptional people in this cynical world and I am so grateful to have encountered one of eBay's best.  :lovey:

Trader & Shipping Support / Why won't my buyer pay me?! ( atgi on ebay)
« on: August 01, 2012, 11:09:13 AM »
This is not pony related, but I could use some advice.  On July 18th, one of my items on eBay sold.  Great, I was happy and sent the buyer an invoice.  Nothing beyond that.  Then 5 days later on the 23rd, the same buyer bought 2 more of my items and asked about another one.  I sent another invoice with combined shipping for the three purchased items 2 days later.  They said that was fine, and asked again about my other item.  That night, I sent over a price for the item they had asked about and said that shipping would cost more considering the weight of the new item.  This was 4 days ago.  Today marks 15 days since the initial auction ended.

Today is August 1st and I still have not been paid for ANY of the items they purchased.  Now I am now getting angry!!!   The kicker??  All 3 items including shipping are like $23 total.  All of my auctions clearly state that "payment must be made within 3 days of auction ending."  This person is not a newbie buyer, with over 1000+ positive feedback.  So why haven't they paid for my auctions yet?!  I strive to be a patient and understanding person, and I have no problem helping someone out!  If the buyer needs more time to pay, then they need to let me know that.

Considering both myself and the buyer have been communicating through messages, I would feel like a major jerk relisting the items.  In all reality, I have another person interested in 2 of the sold items, and would much rather sell them to her.  What should I do?  How much longer should I wait???  Ugh, I hate being in this type of situation.

MLP Nirvana / Can I ask about Mexican Lili Ledy ponies?
« on: July 29, 2012, 07:21:04 AM »
So for a swap I am participating in, I was able to snag a Mexican pony for crazy cheap.  It made me wonder, is there any reason they are not as pricy as their other foreign counterparts?  Are they just not as sought after?
I'm sorry if these questions have already been asked before, but she is my first Mexican pony.

The Dollhouse / Anyone looking to sell American Girl Dolls??
« on: July 27, 2012, 08:29:59 AM »
I know this is probably a long shot, but I am looking to buy 2 American Girl Dolls and I really just cannot justify spending $100 a piece on them.  With that being said, if you have one that you are looking to sell, please can you keep me in mind?

So I mentioned to Steph that I've been kind of down in the dumps lately the other day, and not only was she kind enough to be a shoulder for me to 'cry' on, but she sent me something totally unexpected:

You have absolutely no idea how amazing, kind, thoughtful and supportive Steph is; there are no words to describe her awesomeness!!!!! :lovey: :lovey: :lovey: :lovey: :lovey: :lovey:

Check out the picture *I* made for her...jk, my oldest daughter Lily drew this for her (since she knows that Steph is also an awesome artist from the pictures she's made for us)

Pony Corral / Can we talk about G1 ponies?
« on: July 23, 2012, 11:05:44 AM »
Sorry to :muffin: Pony fans, but frankly I'm tired of her hype.  Can we devote this thread to G1 ponies only?

Please, post me some pictures of your favorite G1 originals??  I could use some cheering up this afternoon.

Customs / I need a pink backplate for a winger
« on: July 18, 2012, 01:23:16 PM »
I was fortunate enough to purchase an Argie Sunglider who was in need of some love.  However, I noticed that she was missing her back plate that holds her wings in.

Can anyone craft one or does anyone happen to have a spare they are not needing?  I will pay whatever you ask:)

Wanted! / Michelle53's Wish List for Holiday Swap
« on: July 10, 2012, 07:31:44 PM »
Hello dear swap partner!  Firstly, I need to state that I am NOT a picky collector when it comes to wingers.  Flaws like regrind, mold, haircuts, tail rust, ink stains, broken or missing wings and even cancer are not deal breakers for me.  I give any winger a home regardless of their condition.  I also collect Breezies and Monster High dolls, but my primary pony love is wingers.

On with the list!
*Summer Wings:
*Lady Flutter
*Buzzer
*High Flyer
*Little Flitter
*Glow
*Sky Dancer

*Windy Wings:
*Starry Wings
*Sun Glider
*Cool Breeze
*Flurry
**Moon Jumper**
*Whirly

Argie Alitas:
Cool Breeze
Sun Glider
Moon Jumper
Whirly

Breezies:
Silly Lilly
Day Lily
Pink Petals
Purple Petunia
Rise Garden
Tiddly Winks
Willow Wisp
Snippity Snap

Monster High:
Sig Operetta**
Roller Maze Operetta
Sweet 1600 Cupid
Howleen
Ghouls Rule Cleo
Toralei**

* indicates most wanted!
Also worth noting, I am an avid rehairer and would love any color Dollyhair (except black).  My favorite colors are purple, pink, blue and green for pony hair.  Also, I have many wingless wingers and would LOVE any reproduction wings!!!
My favorite candies are Skittles, Starbursts, dark chocolate, Coconut M&M's really any coconut/chocolate combo really, gummy bears, sour patch kids and Kit Kats.  I really don't like black licquorish, marshmallow, peanut butter, mint except wintergreen and NECCO wafers (I hate them!).

I am an avid belly dancer who loves anything shiny and jingly; hip scarves, zills, funky costume jewelry and Arabic music top my list!!

Off Topic / One really big surprise!!
« on: July 10, 2012, 07:55:13 AM »
Ok, so my dear husband and I have been married for a few years but he didn't actually get me a proper engagement ring.  At the time, I wanted just a thick diamond band and was over the moon when I found one I loved.  But I think it has always bothered John that he didn't get the traditional engagement ring.
Well on Saturday night, he surprised me with this:

It is literally the most beautiful ring I've ever seen, and I've worked in jewelry for the last 15 years!!
Here are my rings together:

I am beyond excited about my new ring!  It is more than I ever could have imagined.  For those of you wondering, the setting is a platinum eternity band covered in 2carats of pave set diamonds.  The center store is a 2.0 round diamond. 
Thank you for looking:)

Pony Corral / New England pony get together!!*UPDATE in first post*
« on: July 07, 2012, 01:43:04 PM »
******As some of you know, my family is going through a rough patch right now, so I've been focused on our issues.  I'm going to suggest we postpone the meet until after the holidays.  Is everyone is still interested in Salem MA?  The new dates to chose from are:
February 16
February 23
March 2


I have sent out emails to some of the local hotels as well as the North Shore Mall for estimates on conference rooms.  If anyone has a better plan, please let me know.  Depending on what rooms are available and for how much, I will be able to determine a firm date.******



Ok all you folks in ME, NH, MA, RI, CT and others...we need to organize a meet up:). I mean, of other regions of the country can do it, so can we!!  Besides, I'd love to meet you all in person.

Would anyone be interested??  I'm willing to organize and do all the leg work finding a place to hang out.  How fun would it be to get together???!!
