Today's pony is Minty, and she says, "No pinchy-pinchy!"

@skig I enjoy your photos everyday. I have a G1 collection and I really like getting to see all these others I don't know about. Keep it up!! <3
 
Anchors Away is one of my favourite G3 because of her nautical theme. <3

I think this pony-a-day challenge is such a good way of reacquainting yourself with your collection. I had a similar idea, but unfortunately I don't have the time for daily photo shoots and searching for backgrounds, but as my ponies are all in a glass cabinet and some of them at the back where you can't see them properly I decided to do a weekly rotation with my entire collection: every week another pony joins me on my desk, where I spend most of the day, working from home. This gives me plenty of time to enjoy the pony again and to look for possible small restoration work that needs to be done (wash and condition hair if it's dry, de-frizz, sunfade marks etc.). So I very much enjoy what you do with your daily photos, thanks a lot for sharing your stunning pics with us!
 
You take such lovely photos! I adore seeing all the different, personalized backgrounds. :ponylove:

@IceCrystal I agree about this sort of thing connecting you with your collection. I've been taking individual pics of my ponies to catalogue my own collection. I finally got up to G3 (a gen that I am less attached to than my G1 collection) and the whole process of combing, decorating, and finding backgrounds has really reminded me why I enjoy the ponies I collect <3 I'm glad you've found a way to achieve the same thing without the daily commitment! I don't take daily photos either but taking photos of everyone can be a lot of work.
 
I realized today that in my despair yesterday over one or both of my children performing a hack job on my nearly five-year-old daughter's hair, which had never before been cut (I know it's just hair, but I am not OK), I missed the first day of spring. So today's pony is Spring Parade.

This is why I have dogs. Expensive and heart stealing, but dogs.

I’m basically the crazy dog lady version of Kristoff from Frozen. *singing in her best Kristoff voice* “Doggos are better than people, Fred don’t you think that’s true?”
Haha, I'm the same, but the crazy cat lady version.:catpumpkin:While I'm typing this, my fluffy Norwegian is lying on my arm, her head resting on my hand, purring like crazy. <3

Spring Parade is gorgeous, I love her warm colours! I can't believe it's supposed to be spring already, everything is white here. We waded through deep snow yesterday, walking up the hill close to where we live. We should have put our snowshoes on. :eek:

Twice As Fancy Buttons is the pony of the day.
I'm way late posting tonight because I was baking cupcakes for the very same child who cut her hair. It is now officially her birthday (scroll down to see her cupcakes to share with friends later today).

I love TAF Buttons, she’s one of my favourite ponies, her green with the pink bows and white always seems so pleasing to me.

So, there’s “oh yeah I made cupcakes for my kid” then there’s these. These are beautifully done, I love the sprinkles mix you used for border. Super pretty and I bet the kids all loved them. Happy Birthday to your little. <3
 
Thanks, everyone!

Curious, did you buy the edible transfers or do you have your own printer? I'm really tempted to buy one of those edible printers but I just don't know how much I'd actually use it for how spendy they are
I ordered them from an Etsy seller. I have to find a different seller every year, though, because I think they get flagged for copyright. :( I'm normally against that, but if companies won't license their products in this way... not much of a choice. I'd like to have my own printer too. It would get used at least twice a year for the kids' cakes, but I'm not sure that's frequent enough to justify the cost.

They're unicorn sprinkles. Edith's job was to pick out all of the unicorn heads and horns. The colors were perfect for Frozen!

Sunblossom is the pony of the day, chosen by the birthday girl.
