So I'm still working my way through fixing up the UK Scrapbook so that it is finally finished and complete. While waiting for my sister's other ponies to come out of storage, I'm trying to track back over the other gaps, correct and add new information and such like. We had a fun day the other day getting out the first box, and she currently has them decorating her room and floor, but there are still about 200 that we haven't located yet, so still a lot to go.

The Surprise Newborns are a problem set for me. Naynie and I only have one of each of the babies, and so we only have one example of each symbol. Worse than that, my Baby Bouncy came new off card in the middle 1990s, and still has her painted nappy intact, so I have no idea what symbol she has underneath (and am not planning on finding out.)

A nice person donated me a picture of Baby Bouncy's bear symbol for her page, years back, but I don't have examples of:
Baby Bouncy's Giraffe Symbol
Baby Snoozy's Duck Symbol
Baby Cuddles' Elephant Symbol.

My sister's Baby Cuddles is one of the bunch not accessible yet but I am 99% sure her's has the kitten. 99%. Not 100%. ;)

If anyone out there has the babies with the symbols I'm missing and would be willing to take a photo or share a photo with me that I can use on my website, I'd be very grateful.

The page/section I wish to use them on is here:
http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook2/1994_surprisenewborns.htm

And I will obviously credit the donator.

I will probably be asking kind Arena people to check links and images and stuff on the site when I'm done, but until I have Naynie's ponies down and can add them, I don't want to put anyone to any trouble.

Can anyone help with the Newborns?? *offers hopeful cookies* O.O.

I have all 6 Newborns & I would be happy to help with the pictures you're missing. I do have pics on my pony collection Facebook page (link in signature), but I can definitely take new pics for you, as well. Just let me know. :heart:

Ah, that would help muchly :) I am on tablet at the moment but will take a look when back on the PC. I don't want to put you to any extra trouble, so as longbas the symbols are clear and you are happy for me to use them the existing ones will probably be fine...

You are very welcome to use the existing pictures & crop them as you see fit. :) I've been using your site for UK pony information for as long as it's been online, so I'm glad I can give a little back to help you complete it.

Thanks xD I really appreciate it :) I feel in a way that my site has let the UK side of things down badly over the past several years, with pages missing on account of my studies and sister's ponies being in storage. I really want to get it up and running again in full before I start my PhD in September, since despite it being so delapidated, I still get people emailing me quite a lot. There are obviously much better pony id resources out there these days (thank goodness), but there still aren't many sites which focus on the UK, so I'd like it to be there for people to use if they want it.

It really helps that you don't mind sharing pics :D Those babies seriously drive me nuts, and you have a beautiful collection :D

Especially that Tornado ;)


Edit: The symbols are added and images credited :) Again, much appreciated :D

Taffeta, you have an open invitation to use any of my other pictures that you may need. ;) I'm sure it's not easy keeping a site going and I'm glad that your site is still around. There are lots of places to get detailed information about the US releases, but you have the most comprehensive site for UK ponies. Best of luck putting the final touches on it!

I appreciate that, and the encouragement. I think that since Nirvana ponies got so popular, there's been less interest in middle ground mainstream mysteries in favour of the dazzling variants, which is understandable, but also a shame, since there is so much we still don't know.

Once my sister's ponies are all out of storage I will know what gaps are still missing...I like to use what we have where I can since it us easier to be exact and accurate about something I'm holding in my hand, but I suspect I might need to take you up on it with a few things.

Plus, honestly, it's nice just looking through all your pictures XD.
