New kid here!

[PinkRockSugar]

Hi, everybody! Glad to be here. I was steered here by my girlfriend, Naamah, who has been a member here for a few years, I think.

I'm 33, and I had a whole wagon-load of MLPs I used to pull around the neighborhood when I was a kid. I grew out of them for a few years, but when I was 15 or 16, I started collecting them again, remembering how much happiness they brought me. I had a pretty big collection at one point, over 200 G1 ponies, and probably 20+ G3s. But then life happened. In my 20s, I had to move several times, the ponies got boxed up, and the more often I moved, the less often I bothered to unpack them. Finally they ended up boxed in my parents' basement and stayed there for a few years when I loved cross country. They didn't see the light of day again till I came back to Oklahoma in 2013.

I've had to move four times since I got back, so they're still boxed up, unfortunately, but I'm hoping to fix that soon. I'll probably do quite a bit of selling/trading after the holidays!

The prizes of my collection, and the three ponies that have traveled with me cross country and back, are my MO Star Hopper, Mimic, and Ice Crystal. I'll probably have them till my dying day, in which case I'll instruct someone to give them to a deserving collector in my will.

I don't collect so much now as create! Naamah has taught me the ways of custom pony making, and I've made several now that I will be excited to share with you all! I look forward to talking with everybody!
