I oogled Windstone in shops at the mall starting when my family moved to Alabama in October 1986. I collected the brochures before I collected figures. I got my first brochure (with a peacock emperor on it I think) from TJ Stationers (a store similar to Hallmark). The next brochure (with something emerald on it) I got the only time I’ve been to DragonCon in 1998. I joined the group on LiveJournal not long after.
I didn’t get to buy my first Windstone until sometime between 2000 and 2003. It was either a black mother unicorn or a baby pegasus. The other followed shortly. Hard to believe I can remember when my collection took less than a shelf.
I joined the forums in October 2006 (still have my registration email). I remember when they were upgraded the first time. I remember when the login for the store and the forum were separate accounts and then when things were merged so you only needed one login for both.
So many users from back then don’t post any more and I often wonder how they are doing – SPark, GreaterBasilisk (GB), Skigod, DragonMaster (DM), WhippetLuv, Snapdragon, Arlla, PurpleCat to name a few.
I hate the wait and see what’s happening. Husband’s big boss men (director and assistant director) came to an event ribbon cutting at the end of September. While they were here, they told him to get on the registry for the next level of park administrator (PA2) and for his assistant to get on the PA1 list. Apparently an administrator at one of the larger state parks left and from what the big bosses told him his name has been mentioned as a possible replacement. So now comes the wait for interviews and then a decision to be made.
It would mean a 250+ mile move potentially in the middle of the school year. We’d be closer to oldest son who started college this fall, but we’d be farther away from both grandmothers.
I’m not quite off work yet, but I need to take a break. I assigned everyone a number between 1 and 6, rolled a die and the lucky winner is Ela_Hara!
So sorry I was running late posting the raffle for September. I had one idea for the prize, but it went into hiding so I found something else to offer. I’ve been dealing with a much-needed bathroom remodel since late last month and only just had a chance to get things posted. My beautiful prize arrived today.
Oh wow! I hadn’t seen this yet. Thank you. I’d love to see what my phone background would inspire.
*Goes off to see what I have to offer for the September raffle*
Oldest son moves into his college dorm today. It’s a four hour drive to the school, and his check in is at 1:15 so we are hoping to get on the road between 8 and 9 am in case of problems along the way. So of course I would wake up early and not be able to go back to sleep.
