I am the saddest fox right now. I can't find my Alice PTD ANYWHERE.

It was on my desk along with a group of other Alice pins waiting to be put on my Alice board. Now it's gone. I don't know if I took it to work or was showing it to someone and left it somewhere else or what, but I don't know why I would have done that. I'm terribly afraid it got swept off the desk in the last mad wave of costume crafting and rehearsing that accompanied Norwescon, and is now either in a trash bin (although we searched through them) or buried under some stuff or kicked around...

With the way my memory has been lately, I'm also paranoid that I actually traded it and don't remember doing so. But that's why I keep a spreadsheet of trades, so I don't see how I could have forgotten something like that...

We don't have pets and nobody else in the house cares about pins (other than to humor me when I'm yammering about them) and my girlfriend helped me look EVERYWHERE but no luck. My last hope is that I took it to work for some unknown reason and it's still there.

(I just bought a second one from a DPF member here in their sale, but I was going to keep one and use one as a trader. So the worst thing that happens is I don't have a trader one. But it's still irksome to have lost something I valued highly!)

Anyway, I just wanted to vent at y'all, and hope that maybe if some pixie dust comes my way, I'll be lucky and it'll turn up again. *sigh*
 
I'm convinced there are little monsters out there on a stealing rampage. They've got your pin and they've got my car keys. I bet they're also the same little devils that steal one of my socks every time I do the laundry.
 
It'll turn up when you stop looking for it! ALL my jewelry went missing, engagement ring, wedding ring, imprints of my kids finger prints, stuff inherited from my grandma, when we had to evacuate from the hurricane. We stayed in 5 different places following the storm (still not home!) and I just couldn't think of anywhere my jewelry box could be. I was heart broken and pretty much gave up on seeing my stuff again. I was at my inlaws picking up some stuff left behind and the jewelry box was there in a dresser drawer.

SOOOO long story short, there is hope yet!
 
Oh man, I am so sorry Vixy!! I hate when this happens to me! I hope it shows up for you! Like others mentioned, usually lost pins show up for me when I've finally give up on finding it. So pixie dust that it reappears for you!!!
 
Once in a while I lose a pin but it usually turns up a month or two later... I'm sure you'll find it. That Alice PTD is kinda on the tiny side and easy to misplace. Good luck.
