Hey All!
My name is Amy and I am new to the DPF! I am twenty five years old and am from Santa Ana, CA. I work at the Apple Store and attend college. These past two and a half years have been the hardest in my life since my father passed away. Pin trading has opened a new window to my life that has been enjoyable and exciting.
My husband, Grant, and I have been pin trading for the past year and a half. We started off with the basic hidden mickey sets and now bring our pin books to the park to trade with others. My first event was for the Soda Fountain for the Nightmare Before Christmas event. I met so many wonderful and amazing people. Crystal was the person who told me about this site and now I am here writing my first post.
Pin trading really has helped me with my medical condition of being bipolar depressed. I have kept it to myself for the past six months and I would have to say thanks to pin trading it has helped me look forward to something. I have met amazing people, seen pins I never have seen before and made friendships I hope to keep a lifetime. I am still a newbie at pin trading but I feel like I have found a community I want to be apart of and hope to grow with it. I try to go to disneyland as often as possible so it gets me out of the house. I really have no idea what my life would be like if I didn't have something that was so supportive for me to just be myself and not be judged.
I am a huge fan of collecting Stitch pins. I have a little collection on my board at home but I hope to keep growing it with time.
I collect: Stitch, Daisy Duck, Bambi, Dumbo, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast & anything else that catches my eye.
My husband collects: Anything Pixar. His favorites would be Monster's Inc and Toy Story.
I am looking forward to meeting and chatting with other pin traders. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope to get to know you all better throughout time. xoxo.
