So I went to the Anaheim Pin Party hosted by Darlene, Nena, David, and Amy. I was one of the early ones, and I sat in an awesome corner with a power source for my easily battery draining cell phone. I met and became tablemates with Norlando, and we were able to have an awesome time (especially opening all of those boxes!) I was able to meet some awesome people, get to know some more awesome people even better, and I was busy doing my secret agent duties that are still top secret...

So David tells everyone to go to the other room. I was feeling comfortable...a little too comfortable in my area. However, I made my way towards the room. So David decided to announce the RAK Nomination recipient. I was excited to see who would be getting this awesome RAK Attack, thinking about how awesome it would be to see their shock and surprise in their face. David says that the recipient is Ryan, so I slightly turn to see who this Ryan is, and I noticed that David made eye contact with me. Wut. I crept slowly towards him, and he gave me a package with a plethora of things! My reaction was combination of disbelief, nervousness, shaking, and appreciation (not sure who that looks in person.)

I am so grateful to everyone who had taken the time to zap me pins, drawings, plush, gifts, candy, and positive messages. It means the world to me that I was nominated and that you had taken the time to do this for a random guy like myself. I didn't want to open my pin packages at the party, because I was so immersed in the party and I wanted to focus on the festivities and all the wonderful people I was surrounded by. I went home by midnight, and... I fell asleep. The next morning, I finally open the packages, read everything, and felt so wonderful and blessed to have received such a special gift. I will treasure the kindness from my DPF Family. Hugs to all of you!

I hope you like the plushie ^^ I wasn't super familiar with Oswald, so I used a bunch of different pics as references. Hope I did him justice ^^
 
Ryan, as I am going through my suitcase I found one more item that should have went to you at the party. It is wrapped in red tissue paper so I did not want to take it in my carry on luggage. So you will have it soon. Sorry for the delay in that one.

I was so happy to see your shocked face. Yes shocked is the best word for it. You so deserve it my friend!!!
 
Congrats! I'm not really sure how to describe your reaction...but it was priceless (I had a really good view too lol)! I hope someone took a photo! :D
 
I think these RAK attacks are so special, clearly you and the previous recipients are very loved by the pin trading community here at DPF and that must be a wonderful feeling.

On a side note, who knitted the Oswald? I can't read the name, but it's adorable!
 
Congratulations on all your lovely goodies, AgentR! I'm so glad you got to receive it in person and even happier that you enjoyed everything. I love how these rak attacks bring so many creative minds and kind hearts together ^.^ Thanks so much for sharing all the pictures with us and so happy for you! :hug:

i don't have much in the way of pin inventory, but wanted to participate, so I crocheted that little Oswald plush. I wasn't familiar with the character before this, tho, so it was an adventure to figure out what it was supposed to look like ^^;
 
Big congrats to you Ryan!! It was soooo much fun watching you receive your RAK in person! Wishing you all the best! And a special HIGH 5 to David for arranging to have this presented in person at the pin bash! WooHoo!! :cheshire:
 
Congrats Ryan! It got SOOOO loud with all the clapping and hooting and hollering when David announced it was you! I bet waking up to all those wonderful little surprises made you feel really, really good! :)
