I recieved 2 packages this morning. It really cheered me up as I am off work sick today with a sickness bug!!

From Melissa (Gaspode) I recieved 3 pins:
A Tinkerbell pin that says Pixie Room on it.
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=118&pin=22429
A Tinkerbell pin that has flowers on that says Pretty Pixie
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=118&pin=18631
A sparkly Minnie LE pin where she is sitting at her makeup table.

I don't have any of them and they are going straight into my keepers bag!!

From Jill (Quasi123) I recieved:
A gold Mickey ears 50th celebration pin.
A Tinkerbell in front of the Disneyland castle with Disneyland on it.
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=118&pin=48661
And a big Mickey WDW pin trading lanyard medal, this is great as I was going to get a lanyard medal on my next trip as I don't have one yet!
Again they are going straight into my keepers bag.

Thank you so much.

An example of a Propin is:

This is a pin I have, and happy to have it.
But this is a smalllll pin. (3/4")
Normally they are not even that small. But Propins are generally smaller than a pin you buy at the park. They are often approx the same size as maybe a cast lanyard pin.
The coating will also be a clear epoxy like coating. Which can be a plus because that coating is very durable. Howver many yellow with age, over a long period of time, as in several years.
Many (if not all ) Propins are part of a set. I don't know if all sets had 9 pins. But the sets I saw did.
The plus side to Propins is they often had the charcters not often seen. That is one thing that made them fairly popular. That and the price. The artwork was generally different poses than Disney park pins too.
Here is a link to a set of Propins.
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=9377&sid=8480.1197939098.v2
They were pretty cheap, and often people broke them up and had 9 traders.
Unless it is a character or pin you like, I would stay away from Propins and the Spain pins in general.

Actually even another Propin I have that I would probably never consider trading is:
Pin 4979: ProPin - The Lion King Set (Rafiki in Yoga Position)
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=4979&sid=8480.1197939098.v2
So they really had some nice pins. But again if it was a theme you cared for.

Thanks Luv2Roam for explaining the difference, I'm very new at this and am still learning about pin trading.

My mom got her 2nd exchange out yesterday. One of the pins she odered still hasn't come in yet but she did send out 2 and will send out the other one as soon as it comes in.

 

[Meriweather]

I hope you like them.

I loved them both. Thank you.
I guess I am not very good at searching
My search came up with 3 other color frames, but not the one I received.

Hopefully we will hear of the last mailings today....and of some arrivals

 

[DJT]

I just took my packages to the post office a few minutes ago. They are on their way!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

along with a Woody light up pen & a very cool yellow popper thingy (I don't know their proper name, but the boys these things. me I don't get it. )

He says thank you for a wonderful exchange.

 

[Meriweather]

I'm glad he like it. Noah loves the poppers, I buy them in quantity just to keep him happy! And I don't get it either!

Just got an e-mail from Jenna45.....she is not able to access the DIS again...but she had this to report.

Tyler reveived a very cool exchange from someone in NJ, for his pins. It came from Disney Shopping he got
A Mickey Jumbo Ornorment pin and a Mickey Stage Door pin ( also Jumbo) both are limited and beautiful would you mind posting for me he received, and loves them and they have already been added to his book of keepers

 

[DJT]

My DGD5 got her pins from lewdyan1's dd. She got a pirate Goofy gold doubloon pin and a golden Mickey ears pin with "50" on top.

This is the only one I could find. http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=28784&sid=1784.1198084162

My DDIL said she really likes her pins and told her Daddy that she is going to give him the pirate pin since he likes pirates. (She is generous that way.)

She also got a Minnie Pez (which she loves) and I can't remember what else she said.

This was a surprise for DGD so she was very excited to get a package in the mail. Thank you very much, lewdyan1's dd!

[Meriweather]

Glad to hear of another one.
I am hoping all packages are now on their way. I did get report that some were shipped from DisneyShopping and hopefully they will arrive soon.

Hope we hear of more arrivals as the day goes on
I still need to hear of 2 of the ones I sent having arrived.

I am glad it got there. I tried to find something Peter Pan or Capt. Hook, but could only come up with pirates. I hope she liked the gold one, my DD loves that kind!

 

[Meriweather]

Any arrivals today??

 

[Pooh67_68]

No, but my new mixer came yesterday and today my mom's Christmas gift came.

 

[Meriweather]

That sounds fun too, Heidi

I got mine!! Woo hooo!

From Meriweather I got an adorable Castaway Cay pin with Chip & Dale (my favorites). So cute! I also got a Surfboard Donald (hidden Mickey) that is also very cute, and a Mickey scratching his head with a look on his face like I feel sometimes. tee hee They are all great pins but I must admit the Chip & Dale Castaway Cay is my favorite one of all. I also got a pocket calendar and a key ring with Walt and Mickey holding hands that says "partners" which is so cool. My DH promptly put that in his pocket! I got it back but I will probably let him have it to use since he seemed to like it so much. I try to share my goodies.

From Danauk I got a hidden Mickey Chip & Dale pin and they are both holding Mickey ice cream bars. Needless to say, it is great!!! Those little chipmunks are just adorable. I also got a Mickey with Donald standing beside him with his arm around Mickey's shoulder. Pals. Also very cute. Danauk also sent me some chocolate bars which my DH and I have already eaten! How did you know chocolate is my favorite food?

Thank you both SO MUCH! Everything is just great. You two did a very good job picking out pins! I don't have time to look up the links on pinpics right now but maybe later. I'm still recovering from strep and sinusitis that I got on my trip. By the way, Karen, I hope you are feeling better today.

Thanks again, Nancy and Karen! I really have fun with these pin exchanges. Thanks, Nancy, for all your work.
