Epic Grail Day, a trade and a sig ZAP! Thank you so much MickeyMausers!!!
I just got back from DLRP, the pin event left a really bad taste in my mouth. There was a lot of tension in the air and people were not terribly nice. I have a new trade partner in the US and I was on the hunt for pins for her and it took me a bunch of tries for the same pin (obviously not so rare as a bunch of people had it there, but of course as a Paris pin that makes sense). I was really polite and tried to chat but people were just so unhappy and rude. I met a really nice lady in line for wristbands, and she ended up introducing le to her sweetie of a son who I became friends with, so the day wasn't all bad. I ended up Zapping her a little Bambi best friends for her collection and she was really happy. My boyfriend was with me and he was just disgusted by the attitude and atmosphere there.
I don't know I guess I was expecting people to be as awesome as you guys but I was highly disappointed! The day was not all lost as just before the wristbands were getting called I got the trade I needed and then was in the third round of wristbands. I got a nice trade off the pin board after one woman was SO rude to me. I was trying to compliment her pins and she started talking to me then just stopped and pushed me out of the way to get to the pin board.
So I came home from 2 days at Disneyland which itself was awesome to see that a trading friend in the states had gotten our trade. I had a slip as mine was at the post office since the day I left! So yesterday I went to the post office to a gigantic envelope, I thought I was mistaken as to who it was from!
So I open the package to a lovely note, and then, to my surprise as I'm tearing through bubble wrap I stumble onto one of my other grails! I got zapped!
She is so much more gorgeous in person! I collect stained glass pins so and Haunted mansion/phantom manor, and this was in my signature too. I had a huge smile on my face.
I tore through the rest of the bubble wrap to find one of my holiest of grails, I am so lucky to have found someone to trade with me for her. Photos don't do her justice, but I have tried here!
So my humor has been redeemed. I missed you guys at the Pin trading night. I wish I could come hang out and trade with you dears in the states!
Another huge thanks to you Lisa! I have my new pins next to me at my desk as I work and I smile every time I see them!
