I'm back from the Pin Party

[Perdita&Pongo]

• Nat's Pin Party pin
• Cyn's Pin Traders Anonymouse pin
• Candi's @ Pin Trader pin
• Candi's Pin Trader 2001 pin-in-pin pin
• Some other miscellaneous pins

I got some pins off of cast lanyards, but with so many pin traders concentrated in one place at one time, the lanyards were very picked over. The best CM pins I found were the three Lawson ice skating pins at the Contemporary pin meet.

I am happy to say that I got ALL of the event pins (except the LE500 framed pin set for $100)!! If I didn't get them on their issue day, I got them the next day during the 2nd chance lottery.

Again - I had a fabulous time and will definitely do it again next time Disney has an event like this!

Great post Nancy. Milton is happy for you but jealous that
we couldn't make the meet.
Hope to see you in December.
Glad you had a great time.

Ok Wait a minute where is the part about locking your keys in your car???? HUH

By the way I forgot to ask you did you ask them if there was a pin for that?? LOL

 

[sgtslovak]

Wow!!! Nancy, with all that trading, did you have any time to go to any of the events? Janet & I will definitely be there at the next one

Hello Nancy! It was so great to see you again after all the fun we had on the cruise together. Thanks for talking my mother and I into going to Canada. I have talked about the cheddar cheese soup and bread ever since we have been home. Also thanks again for the great trade for the Dumbo pin I love it. Talk to you soon. Susan

Raul wants his castanets back, Pinboys says keep the tights, and the rental car people said the Mickey head on your antenna fell off broke the windshield, then water got in and shorted out the radio, but the two Mickey for presidents under the seat made up for it…

Oh and when you get a chance mail back the keys. Thanks

OK Nancy,
How many days before you go back ?

Amazing what your shark bait(lanyard) got you! Good for you.

Now remember to add them to your pinpics list of keepers!
