Tea And Book Planning
May. 21st, 2015 11:19 pmOver tea at Rarity's boutique, we held a scrapbook planning and brainstorming session. Pinkie thinks it's a great idea and wanted to start it right away but we're still waiting for all the pictures to come in. Apart from the few that were printed in the papers, most are not printed and some are not even developed yet. It was an all night party and ponies are catching up on their sleep and on their duties.
Pinkie was wearing, and eating, her seven rock-candy necklaces. Five from us, one from Maud and one from Spike. The one Spike made was extra sparkly. Spike has a knack for selecting stones and he may have grown and tuned the rock candy a bit. We were discussing the paper for the scrapbook.
I want them to be good, thick, archival-quality, cotton fiber pages. Pinkie wants paper to be all colors and the book to have tassels, lots of tassels. For bookmarks. For every page. Rarity insists that the color scheme for the book should be pink, baby blue and yellow.
Dash thinks we should have all the pictures in our hooves the day after tomorrow. That gives Rarity enough time to put together an assortment of ribbons, glitter, sequins and her book-making kit. Pinkie will bring the paints and well as vanilla, chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon and other spices, to scent the pages. And frosting too. I have doubts about the frosting idea.
Fluttershy is going to press and wax some flowers, leaves and grasses, and a blue jay feather. I'm bringing the quills and inks. Spike will do much of the writing. Applejack is going to make the book covers and spine out of apple tree wood, she just has to decide what to carve into the wood. Dash suggested decorating the covers with polished rock candy. Pinkie will have to promise not to eat it.
We'll do this in the Treecastle. There's more room and the rock floors will be easier to clean if we make a mess. I wrote to Maud Pie to ask for a poem. We can always add that in when it gets here.
