Hi, Everypony

[marblecheshire]

My real name is Christina, I am 35 (born on Halloween), and have loved ponies since the 80's. My generation is definitely G1s, but I love all things pony. I have had to narrow my collection down for room and money sake, so I mainly collect Lemon Drops (variants and customs), sea ponies (my favorite is Beachcomber), and Windy/Summer winged ponies.

I also collect marbles (mainly artist made glass ones) and love the Cheshire Cat. My username probably makes more sense now. I currently live in New Market, AL and am expecting a little girl this August. She is my first of hopefully many.  I have been married a little over four years (four years this past Leap Day) and have two dogs, Percy the pug and Duke the 120lb German Shepherd.

I have lived overseas in both England and Germany for three years each. Currently I am working on my second bachelors in IS (information systems). I am employed at a franchise of Hallmark and would love to work for corporate one day. Some of my hobbies include rock hunting, playing soccer, watching Jane Austen inspired films, and singing.

Welcome to the Arena!  Lemon Drop makes my list of favourite ponies.  She is such a pretty colour combination - although I didn't fully appreciate her until I came into collecting as an adult.  I hope you enjoy the forums and I look forward to seeing you around

Thank you all for the warm greetings. I look forward to getting active on here.

@Diamond - I collect any and all marbles. I mainly like new ones that you can find on eBay or in art dealer shops. James Alloway, you can find his marbles on eBay, is currently my favorite artists. I can never bid high enough for his work though. It is truly breathtaking.
