Woo hoo! My first pin boards!

[sayshelen]

After collecting for about a month, I finally went to Michael's today to buy some cork board and a couple of frames. Unfortunately the board is too thick to use the frame's backing :/ So, I jerry-rigged it all with some rubber bands (janky) until I find a better solution. I was just so excited to get my keeper pins out in the open! They have all been sitting in plastic bags shoved away on a shelf. Now they get to breathe and see the light of day.

Left: my foreign-language pins; Right: my German-themed pins (There are a couple on the left-hand side. More are coming. )

Upper left: My Disneyland nostalgia pins; Upper right: Disney mothers; Middle right: POMH pins (I have a better idea to show them off once I have a couple more.); Bottom row: DH pins

That is PinPics 35513. It is very delicate, it seems! I bought it on these boards, but originally it was available for Ticket Seller CMs only. It reminds me of the excitement my sister and I would feel lining up for tickets at DL first thing in the morning as kids.

I love it too! I have a yen for foreign languages (well -- foreign to ME ... I am keenly aware that, to some, English is the foreign language, not Arabic/French/German/etc.!). I grew up in LA and studied Spanish there for quite a while, then went to college for opera performance and studied French, Italian and German there. (Ended up doing a minor in German because I was so enamored of the culture and art.) My husband studied Arabic for a short while in college, so when I saw the 'Habibi' Language of Love pin, I just loved it. And so began a fun theme! haha
