So yesterday I went a little OCD arranging my pins. I thought I'd share a few pics.
First, here is my Peter Pan collection...
It's still rather small but it's grown quite a bit since the last time I posted. I now have four of the five Lost Boys pins, which were my original grails! (If anyone has a pin #9856 to trade, please let me know!)
In case you're wondering, the image in the center of this frame is a trading card that teddy_ruxpin sent me as part of my last PIF. So cute!
A very special thank you to teddy_ruxpin, averysfairytale, Vixy, docfish2u, tinkerbellfan17,
and everyone else who played a part in helping me put this collection together.
:hug:
Awww! Can you tell Figaro's my favorite? =^. .^=
I'm pretty proud of these pins, even the ones that aren't that impressive - "Classic animals" was the first theme I started collecting, so this is my largest collection by far. There are pins on this board I never thought I'd get, especially with my very limited budget, but somehow, I managed.
If I had to choose my two favorite animal pins (there's no way I could choose just one!), they would be the Thumper in the top left corner, which is a Paris pin; and the Figaro in the bottom right corner (standing up on his hind feet) which is from Tokyo.
And I'm still blown away by the Memorable Moment pin with Figaro kissing Cleo in the fish bowl (#4303), which caligirlUCR traded me at the last PTN. (This is one of those pins I never thought I'd acquire.)
Thank you, thank you so much, caligirlUCR!
And another special thank you to Marcia (DumboLover21), who zapped me with the Figaro film reel pin that is in the center of it all, and to David (Docfish2u - again!), who traded me most of the Paris pins from the "Dogs & Cats" line on this board !
And thank you to anyone else I'm forgetting! (I'm sure a ton of you have helped with this collection. Please forgive my horrible memory. I really appreciate everything everyone did!)
A special thank you to Alexa Disney, who sold me that last pin (and many more great traders over the past few months), and for anyone else who sold me (or traded me) pins on this page! I know someone sold me the Daisy stretch portrait for a really great price a few months ago, but I can't remember who that was - I'm sorry.
Ooooh. Awwww.
My Chip & Dale pins.
This group includes my first pins ever (Chip & Dale sharing a secret in the bottom left corner), which was a beloved birthday gift from my best friend and her boyfriend. It also includes a fake Gadget pin that I bought on eBay before I knew better. (She's a scrapper, but I love her anyway, so please leave her alone!)
I can't remember everyone who sold or traded these pins to me, but I do remember Marcia (dumbolover12) sent me the "Chip & Dale as Lost Boys" pin, and that adorable dancing Chip was a very recent zap from breagirl. Thank you guys!

Second on the list... My "Classic Animals" collection...

Next up... The HM/HP/HG Hodgepodge.
My final frame is a hodgepodge of Disney and non-Disney pins... It contains my very small Haunted Mansion collection (along with my Tower of Terror hotel key), my Harry Potter Hogwarts house crests (Yes, I am a total HP nerd), and my Hunger Games "Mockingjay" pin. It also contains a couple Mickey icons and Halloween pins, and a Tinker Bell birthstone pin for May (my birth month).
(Sorry - the pins don't look too good here. I had trouble getting the proper lighting when I was taking the picture.)

Now, here is a picture of my pin collection hanging over my desk...
Ooooh. Awwww.
And lastly, here's a few more of my "keepers" that aren't in frames (yet!)...
My Chip & Dale pins.

My Miscellaneous Pins
including:
- My very small Sword in the Stone collection.
- My even smaller Robin Hood collection.
- An Alice pin I've had since I was a teenager.
- A few very random pins I just really like the look of.
- A "Boo" scrapper I traded for at the park that I just think is too cute to get rid of.
Okay, thats it!
I just want to finish up by saying thank you again, to everyone -
