I didn't want this to coincide with the TP's Valentine's Day raffle, but I got one of the prizes tonight, so I decided to go ahead and post it.
As some of you probably know, I'm going to be moving back into my parents house near the end of March. Two years ago, I moved out and moved into my own place, though I was still in the same tralior park as my parents. I know that wasn't the brightest thing that I could have did, but at the same time, I'm glad I did, because I enjoyed the experience. Real freedom for the first time in my life. I enjoyed it greatly and it even helped with my first ever experience which I know Gypsydancer knows of, and maybe a few others, one that I believe I'll be having again.
Unfortunately, things turned sour for me, as I wasn't making enough money to pay the bills and have some leftover. Back during that summer, I had to sell some of my collection to help pay the bills. Over the course of the two years, I was basically living paycheck to paycheck, and I swore to myself that I would never do that. Well, then my mom offered to let me move back in.. I gotta pay them something a month, but it's certainly cheaper than living on my own and I can get my finances back together again.
During that time, I've whined, complained, and ranted (like my rant about my plumbing), and during that time, you guys have been good friends to me. You haven't told me that I wasn't smart to do what I did (like my best friend did, but I still love her.. she still checked on me when she knew how upset I was those few weeks ago). You guys listened to me, offered advice, and gave me a shoulder. Most people wouldn't do that and I want to thank everyone by holding a raffle.
First off, I want to thank Gypsydancer for brainstorming with me to come up with this. For this raffle, you can't just say you want to enter. Since this is about me moving back in with my parents, I would like you guys to post a pic of the ponies' moving day. I want you guys to get creative with this one, but the pics can't be altered in any way. Come on, use those creative minds we all know you guys have!
Here's what you can win:
First prize will get a gift card which can be used for pony things or not. Totally up to you guys. The place will be kept secret, though, however the loctaion will be online since we've got people from other countries here. :tongue2:
Second prize will get a choice. You can either choose a random item from the Newborn Cuties line (which I just got tonight, so no saying what you want ) and for those of you that either don't like them, don't want one, or already have most everything that came out already (remember, I live in the backwater of Pennsylvania and we don't get a lot of new stuff as quickly as other places do), you can get a simple drawing done by Gypsydancer (Thanks to her for offering this. That was awesome of her).
Third prize is a dig through Dru's trade box! Thanks Dru.
Just post your pics up here. You guys have until the 15th, so that my drawing won't interfere with the Valentines's day raffle drawing. The drawing will be done with random.org. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
And yes, I meant, no altering, speech bubbles, etc. It all has to be natural, so to speak. Look down to NapperCasper's entry.. it's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, moving to a new place.
