"You don't have to go home, but
you can't stay here."
The new links page is finally here! Unfortunately, several peoples'
sites got lost in the last crash, but I don't know whose! So if you
want to be listed here or you used to be and you see that you aren't
anymore, please Email!
Places to see and buy Grand Champions
The Grand Champion ID Site
Neena's site, with coverage of all the Grand Champion years, tons of pictures,
customs and lots more! This is the Grandest site of them all, one of the
first to give GCs a revered home on the net. Address:
http://www.angelfire.com/on/raventyde/grandchampion.html
The Official Grand Champions Site
Here is the site provided by Alpha, the current manufacturer of
Grand Champions. It's slow to load, overly complicated, and
provides little useful information. Enjoy! Address:
http://www.grand-champions.com/
Everlasting Acres
Kristin's site with lots of beautiful photos of Grand Champions,
Breyers, Blue Ribbon Ranch horses, and My Little Ponies.
Go for gorgeous Peter Stone Arabians, 'Bold Impression,'

Ebay
Possibly the best place to get GCs ! Especially the older ones, which
can often be found in large lots for cheap! Just the place to find
that Starlet or Sultan Pepper you may have missed, or to get poor old
bait to customize. Ebay has everything you're looking for, and more.
Remember: "If it's not at eBay, you might have dreamed it." Address:

Free Graphics for Webpage-Buiding
Don't steal my stuff. You don't have to! Here are a bunch of neat
sites that offer free backgrounds, clipart, borders, lines, buttons and
everything else you need to dress up your website.
Boogie Jack's Free Graphics
A great selection of backgrounds, tiled borders, buttons and banners.
These are very pretty ones in so many colors and patterns.
I used them to accent many of the decorative bars on the yearly
GC pages, and several of the backgrounds throughout the site are also his.
What a cool guy to offer such selection for free !!

Becky's Grab Bag
This was a neat place that got lost in one of my many
system crashes. Becky makes jewel artwork that is just
spectacular and looks so
real ! The amethyst jewels on the '99 pages are hers, as
are any beautiful, sparkly jewels you see in Paradise.
I will put in the link here if I ever find it, but her site was
just drooly-beautiful...

List of Free Graphic Sites !
This is a huge list of sites that offer free pictures and
backgrounds. Most of them I haven't visited, but this would
be a good place to start if you're just beginning your
webpage-building odyssey.

http://www.allfreespot.com/freegraphics.html
The Ball Boutique
Another site that I can't seem to find, the Ball Boutique offered
balls and textures in about a million different colors and patterns.
I used some of them on the yearly pages. It was such a cool site
and you could just stare at the beautiful little spheres all day.

Galt's Wallpaper World
The ideal place to find all sorts of images for your desktop,
or backgrounds for your site. Great photography and
so many themes - This one is sure to meet the needs of any
Webmaster.

Other COOL Links !!
Ponytopia
WOW, what an awesome site for G3 My Little Pony collectors !
All the latest news on current and upcoming releases, profiles and
pictures of all the G3s, and lots more! An invaluable resource
for keeping up to date on ponies you know you
want ! Address:

Got Treasure ? Tired of lame, flat-backed
jewels and fake plastic coins? Or how about those annoying,
lightweight aluminum ones!? UGH, Gag me with a cannonball!
Here in Paradise we demand only the highest quality Pirate
Treasure, and Billy Bones is just the buccaneer to provide it!
This is the place to get REAL pirate coins and doubloons
in great variety and at reasonable prices (Like $0.35 a coin).
These are solid, heavy, metal replicas (remember when things used
to be made of metal? WOW !!) fashioned after real coins found in
shipwrecks. They display beautifully and are the perfect
gift for the pirate fan in your life, or the perfect complement
to the nautical decor in your house. And if there's a better
way to die than in your own home, surrounded by piles of
treasure and doubloons, I'd like to know !
Also offers a wide selection of pirate books, flags, jewelry,
apparel, and just about any other cool pirate stuff you can
think of. Talk about a COOL site !!

Fresh Chocodiles !
Remember Chocodiles ? Maybe you have childhood memories of
this very special Hostess product. They are like big Twinkies (but taste a little
different) covered in chocolate. What you may not know is that they
are extremely hard to find in the US, and have been discontinued
on the East Coast. You won't find Chocodiles in
most stores or mini-marts. This is a nearly-extinct reptile
of delicious proportions !
But don't despair ! Fresh Chocodiles will send you
chocodiles by the box, and all you have to do is pay them. They
take Paypal and Credit Cards and ship to you through FedEx.
Order some Chocodiles and revisit this endangered classic ! Address:
