TRADING Swap Box #2 around the USA
I've been enjoying the threads - still really hopeful for another box.
I would love to participate.
Love the pins you selected.As promised! Here is my haul!
I had to snap a quick pick before the scavengers saw the pins! This was literally a second or two before my littlest decided to snatch both Goofy pins and run away with them.
Thought the Jasmine would be perfect for my oldest since he loves pink and she is his girlfriend.
I was in awe of some of the beautiful pins that @Ajk put in the box. They were tempting me to start new collections but I held off. Thanks again for the amazing pins!
Those black and white Mickey pins are nice!Here's my selection. Got a new box and will get it in the mail tomorrow to @Pinfun

Nice selection! I really like the Mushu and card pinsI. Had. Loads. Of. Fun. I picked some, changed my mind, picked some more, changed my mind, picked some to put in, changed my mind, picked some more to put in, changed my mind…. It was an endless loop but in the end it was time.

So I took the advice, let go of the anxiety of making sure it was all perfect, reloaded the boxes (included a few extras too just because), boxed it all up and taped it up… and as I reinforced the last corner of the box I see, wait, is that a crease? Oh crap…. It’s a 3-4” slit in the side…. Does it go through? Yep - 3 fingers slide right into it.
I’m beginning to think the USPS cut back on the quality of their boxes since this is the 3rd box for this swap. Reprint the postage, grab more tape and scissors, run off to the post office, grab a new box, take it all with us to an appointment (didn’t allot time to wrap again), repackage it all inside a reusable grocery bag (just in case the new box gets a tear), back into the box, seal the box during the appointment, and dropped it off at the main post office last night (thankfully it’s close and open late). It’s en route now.
I do believe a few of you weren’t sure of my humor and worried I might not send the box on, but I did - it just took me the whole week (I appreciate firm deadlines). So, I will not be offended in the least if I’m kicked to the end of the line next time because I caused too much anxiety for those waiting after me.. But really what I’ve come to realize is I should probably volunteer to host the next one. That way I don’t have to stress about whether and which older pins to include; I’ll just put them all in and let you lovely pin-friends sort it out. And I’m done.
Oh wait… you just started reading my post to see what I picked.
I love my new treasures. Thank you to all those before me. I have something for possibly every collection I’ve got going. Which undoubtedly means I have too many collections, to which I say again: I should probably host the next one.
Dying of curiosity. Have you made your choices? :0)@jadeites-lady 's sis here, reporting that the box has arrived.
Sis is working nights this weekbut should hopefully be able to look at the box tomorrow and make some decisions
Me too! I am not even participating in the Swap but living vicariously through each of you. It is so exciting to watch!Dying of curiosity. Have you made your choices? :0)
Sorry you had to quarantine, great news of no symptoms! Stay safe and stay well.Sorry for the delay. Sis & I each got notices at work that we had been potentially exposed to someone with the dreaded COVID-19 so we left the pins at our parents' home and then went to quarantine away from them. Anyhow, we only log-in from there (I tried through TapaTalk but was unsuccessful). No symptoms yet for either of us, so I think we are good.
I'll take pictures tonight and post tomorrow.
Sis took pictures and as soon as she puts them in her IMGUR, I will post what we took out.
@Mcgilligan : the pin box is on its way to you!
Super exciting, I bet! Can't wait to see what you both got!Fun to do it together, I bet! And both at once!
Loving that Donald pin LOL.
Hopefully this works:

Mulan and Cri-Kee for sis. We liked the sayings on Lady Tremaine and the candy pin. I may wear Lady Tremaine on my lab coatJasmine because we like horses and have the Belle in that set. Then those ducks are just so cute
Mickey for sis too. Duffy for both of us. Sis took out Shellie May that a friend got for us straight from Tokyo Disney Sea (he picked out the exact bear based upon the expression in her eyes and face).
Grogu for both of us too. The white and black hidden Mickey pin because we already have 3 in the set.
The box arrived! I have found more than a few pins I like and I will pick out appropriate traders today and tomorrow.
I agree! It was also fun preparing the pins for the other swap box.So fun! I tell you . . . it is super fun to sit and decide and choose what to put in that you think someone down the line might like! -grin-
