greetings, introduction

I am Amber, mom of 5, nurse that works outside the home, and a pony lover since I was little. I am in the USA (WV). I started with ponies with the original ponies... many many moons ago... I still have many of my childhood ponies. I then started buying G3 ponies for my first daughter... I since have gotten back into collecting..... this is my second active collecting go around after a roof leak ruined several in my collection. I am currently cleaning up and collecting G1, hoping to learn to restore them but also plan on cleaning up and considering collecting G3, at least the earlier ones.
