2015 MN Pony Meet: September 5th in Bloomington! (FIRST PAGE INFO UPDATED 9/4!)

[seaponey]

I hope everyone has a wonderful time.  I will not be able to make it this year, but hopefully next year will work out better.  I will be checking in to  see any updates and pics  !

Does anyone collect/craft with miniatures, like dollhouses? I have lots of little furniture and decor pieces and craft supplies for my dollhouse hobby that I am looking to rehome- there's quite a bit, so let me know or it won't make it into the car.

[nessa16]

Not I.  And sorry no MH Howleens.

[Silver Glade]

Nor I, ponyqueen!

Whew, it's crunch time now!  I'm doing the last bits of cleaning and furniture re-arranging today, plus wrapping gifts and printing signs and name tags.  Gotta have everything set up by tonight, no exceptions! 

Just letting you guys know, our house is quite WIP right now - so I hope you don't mind the unfinished paint jobs or lack of proper shades!  We're getting new windows in a month so we've taken down dressings and such.  Not a big deal, but I'm kinda sheepish about it.   

[Aurora]

SilverGlade, my house is ALWAYS a wip. As long as the roof isn't going to fall on us, I'm happy! The roof isn't going to fall on us, right? LOL!

I have two big boxes of sort of random free things- dolls, doll clothes, random toy bits. If anyone has anyone in their family that likes barbies or dolls like that, please dig through the free box. I'm just going to donate whatever doesn't disappear. Does anyone know a charity that specifically is looking for Barbies and their stuff? I know there are lots of places that send them to foreign countries, I just don't know the names or locations to drop off/ send the toys.

I'm cooking the food tonight (cornbread muffins and apple cobbler). Do we need to bring drinks?

[mngusty]

Aurora, my nearly 6 year old daughter is coming w/and she will ADORE digging through your Barbie stuff!  She wants to have a Barbie themed birthday party next month, so needless to say, that's going to make her day!

I have been quite ill for the last 2 weeks (I'm on meds, so not contagious), but i haven't even started pricing or packing. Lots to do tonight & what i can't get done will be "make an offer"!  I also doubt I'll be able to stay long in my state, especially in the heat.    I look forward to this each year, so I'm disappointed I'm not feeling in top shape!  Still, it will be great to see you all and catch up!  I also can't wait to see AN's new poster!!  I just adored last years!

oh, and Nessa, chips & salsa is always a winner

[Silver Glade]

Aurora, I think we've got drinks covered pretty well.  Unless there's some particular favorite of yours that you want to bring for yourself - go right ahead!  And btw - the roof should be just fine! 

Sorry that you're not feeling well mngusty.    I hope we can make your stay as comfortable as possible tomorrow.  Looking forward to seeing you! 

[rosierjay]

so life is never boring, and always throws wrenches in my path.
the chances of me being able to come tomorrow have slimmed to 15%
if it rains- back to 100%
but time availability of moving helpers, and the already set schedule of my friend coming with, well. they cut the time down to about 30 to 40 mins actually at the meet. so i'm not sure what to do.
i really want to come, but if you have people willing to help, you have to take advantage of it when you can. we'll see what happens

[BethyVic]

Since it is probably going to be scorching hot tomorrow, would anyone be offended it I didn't wear the outfit I planned to wear and instead just wear normal clothes, like a t-shirt and capris?  I still have festive accessories

[Nimrodel]

Sorry guys, I have to bow out of tomorrow.     I have a cold that comes with this awful hacking cough, and I'd feel pretty terrible if I gave it to you all.     

Please post lots of pictures.   

[Kazzellin]

Aww - I'm sorry to hear that Nimrodel! It sounds awful! :hugs: You feel better soon! *plies with hot chocolate*

I'm definitely going to be bringing ponyville, G3 ponies/playsets and some G1 ponies and accessories. Don't have time to craft anything, sad to say.

[Strawberry Swirl]

I'm very tired. I need sleep!

But I also must prepare prints. /collapses
Bring some caffeine for me guys!

[Silver Glade]

Blargh!  Things are pretty much ready to go here. Gotta put up some signs and clean the kitchen up, and vaccuum a bit.  I think I may just turn in early and get up at the crack of dawn to finish up everything.    Goodnight all!  See you tomorrow!

[himmie]

I likely won't be making it tomorrow either. I hope everyone has a good time.

[silverdawn]

Well I will still be there! Got the new accessory boards ready to go and the last minute scurrying mostly done.  3 hours of sleep then a 5 hour drive for me lol.  Cya soon!
