Rearraging all my ponies!

[nessy_86]

So since today is my furlough day (thanks Congress) I decided it would be a great idea to rearrange my ponies. NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA!! AHHH! I am completely overwhelmed with all of them. I decided I was going to rearrange the ponies by year of release which caused me to completely take apart the entire area where they are. Now I'm in the process of sorting them first by generation, then sorting them by pony to determine any duplicates, and then by how I want them displayed. I'm done with every generation but the G3s! There are simply too many! I have shopping bags full of them to go through... it's crazy. I have lost all motivation to even finish them today. But I'm going to go and force myself to finish because I know once I'm done it will be worth it and maybe I'll finally be happy with how my ponies are arranged.


Thanks for the little time to vent

ARRANGE ALL THE PONIES!

It'll definitely be worth it once you finish! Try listening to music, or an audiobook perhaps, to keep you going?

I love when I get that same great idea to rearrange my girls. I always seem to peter out half way through too. I then have a bigger mess than what I started with. 

You can do it though!!! Just keep plugging away! Maybe grab some bubbly

I'm rooting for you!  I know it's hard work and I've gotten discouraged halfway through a job before.  Do you have anyone who would be willing to help out?  I've often found that when Mom helps me with organizing, I get more done.  She goes through and says "Where does this go" and keeps me focused.  That and loud music helps me.  And caffeinated beverages and sugar.  Yep, those always help.  Good luck, I know you can do it.  You should show us the pics of the finished product.

Good luck, and I hope you post some pics of your collection when you are done!

How many ponies do you have in your collection?  You can always take a break and come back.

I'm still plugging away at it! G1 and G2 are done. Now comes G3! EEEK!! I was trying to get it done before my husband got home but that's not going to happen!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I'll for sure share some pics on this thread when I (finally) finish!

You are a brave lady!

I manage about 4 or 5 shelves at best...and then I need a break!

I agree make sure you interrupt your day enough that it does not become monotonous - although we all love ponies sometimes you need a little break

I stopped after 10 shelves because my husband got home and we had errands to run. So it looks like a pony massacre happened in my "other collections" room. G3s everywhere with the poor G3.5s and G4s in bags. My goal is to finish this weekend. I'll have to do a final head count when I'm done putting them all away-- no idea how many I have. But I purged out every single one of my doubles so I'll have tons to sell soon!

My husband said he was going to hang some shelves in there too So more room for my ponies. On a side note my ponies are in a walk in closet in what one day (not any time soon- lol) will probably be the baby room! Maybe one day I'll be able to get rid of some of my care bears so my care bears and ponies can co-exist in my loft
