Hello from the Bay Area
Hello from Northern California, the Bay Area to be a little more precise.
Thought we would finally pop into the introduction thread and say hello.
So here we goooooooo!
HELLO everyone, my name is Andy and my wife is Shawna. We have been collecting for a few years now but have only really become aware of the true world of pin trading since our last trip to DLR in July 2017 where we also got engaged. Just after the electrical light parade and just before the fire works. What a magical time! The second best day of our lives! What’s the first you ask? Well that would be the birth of our daughter a few months later. We can’t wait to share our love and excitement for Disney with her. Her current favorites are Moana, Hercules and The Lion King. Rewatching the few movies that we have has brought back so much nostalgia! Just remembering how I would watch Peter Pan, Aladdin, Lion King, Cinderella, Jungle Book, Newsies and others over and over and over and then just one more time.
My wife handles the Facebook and Instagram side of our trading, so a few of you may have already worked with her on a purchase. I on the other hand have taken on the forum side. So we tag team this crazy world of pin trading.
After lurking around the forum for a little while and posting comments here and there we hopped in a pin game which was pretty exciting. Now I think we’ve hit the benchmark and can post our own trade and sales threads. We still have yet to make trade with another trader but hopefully that will happen soon.
We look forward to being a part of this community and love what we have experienced already and can’t wait for more! We hope to make it to DLR and other events more frequently and have the chance to meet some of you wonderful people in person.
As far as collecting we have narrowed it down to just about everything. Except Frozen, Stitch, Cars, and a few other Pixar films that we just can bring ourselves to like enough to collect. I planned on posting a looking to trade thread and will soon but I’ll leave our PinPics ID here please check it out and hopefully we can get some trades going. Up until this point we have mostly only purchased pins so a trade would be fun.
So Hello from the Bay.
