I had a fantastic day with you guys and now it's your turn to post your hauls!! I hope we can get together again soon I really had a brilliant day chatting and trading with you all!
 
:) It really was a lovely day. Lol, the camera's dead, so I'm just gonna post PinPics pictures. I can't believe how many great pins I got off my Wants list!

First of all though, I got this stunning bootleg pin off Danny for my birthday! The picture does it no justice, it's totally gorgeous!

Then I got all of the following pins from one great trader. :lol: There was a lot of other swaps involved in some of these pins. Danny traded a pin to Laura, which I then traded off her in order to trade to Steve! :) I love it when multiple people can be made happy through the same trade. Anyways, here's all the pins that I traded off Steve. Except for the Bruce pin, which I bought off him.

I also did a few other trades with other people. I traded Laura some pins off her Wants list, I traded a couple of pins off Tanya for my mum and I traded Sam a couple of Pooh pins that she was wanting. It was a really great day that I wish we could do more often. :bowdown: A big thank you to Danny for organising it!

Lol, my Characters dressed as other Characters collection has exploded!
 
I glad everyone had fun, it was a good turn out and I think everyone managed to get a few pins off their wants list.

I was zapping and giving people pins to help trade for other pins quite alot today as my trades list is quite tough so I was just really glad to help everyone out and to see everyone smile.

I had a great time and I had so much fun handing out pins and seeing everyone smile. I was able to help Tanya out with 2 of her earlier UK pins in which Steve gave me a pin I was planning to buy from him but couldnt and so I zapped him in return with a WDI lanyard medal I recently got XD

I cant wait to organize the next one :)

Now off to organize the feedbacks for all the trades I was able to do XD
 
Edinburgh is a bit too far for me to go. We shall spread the world to folks wh can make it up that far though!

Marilyn : I did!!! I can't believe I got a grail yesterday, totally unexpected but SOOOO worth it. I am still buzzing and am super excited for Birmingham hee!

*snuggles and loves on Danny* you am win <33!!
 
Yep, it was a fantastic day! Wish I hadn't been ill (went to bed when I got in yesterday!) Got some fantastic pins. Thanks to everyone who traded with me and to Danny for getting me those 2 UK pins. Am really pleased as I didn't think I'd trade much. :eek:)

Laura - I will (hopefully) be making the effort to go to the Edinburgh meet, so if you needed a lift I'd be more than happy to pick you up?
