I also traded for the "Team Mickey" CM lanyard.

Wow, I didn't realize how much trading I did till I sat down to type this!!!!! I still have most of the pins and they will become part of my permanent collection, but some I traded, and by doing so was able to make a few other people as happy as I was. What a great feeling!!! That's what it's all about!

I ended my trip with the meet at the Contemporary. My mom was a trouper as we were there from 4:30pm to 12:30am!!! (we had dinner with friends before the meet)

I guess now I need another holy grail............. but that's another thread.

I too just arrived home from Disney and had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Robin and spending some time with her and her mother.

It was a highlight of my trip and she is as wonderful as she appears on the boards.

We did not trade, but just enjoyed each others company.

Robin made me some wonderful Christmas Cookies and also made me the greatest ceramic Snowmen - she is very talented. It will find a very special place in my house and in my heart.

Thank you for your kindness.

It was fun spending time with you and hope to one day do it again.

Have a wonderful holiday Robin.

See Ya Real Soon.
