UPDATE: My birthday is this Thursday! I've been able to set up 2 birthday trades, and would love to set up a couple more! Updated traders are below!

I am turning 35 on September 15, and this year my birthday is really important to me!

Backstory: Last year I was pregnant and in and out of the hospital, so I was induced at 37 weeks and my beautiful son was born on September 9th. My birthday was a week later, and I was struggling with severe postpartum depression to the point that I didn't want to celebrate my birthday. I didn't open cards or gifts until over a month later, it was a really bad time for me. I'm very happy to say that I am doing much better now, but I'm spending all of my time and energy right now trying to plan a big 1st birthday party for my son. Turning 35 is a big deal for me, and I'm trying to make sure that I do something fun so that my birthday doesn't get overshadowed by my son's big milestone, and so that I can make some new birthday memories to redeem last year.

That's where you come in! I would love to set up some trades so that I have some fun pin mail to open on my birthday. I'm hoping that everyone can mark their packages with "DPF mail" so that I can set them aside and open them on the 15th (if you're more comfortable waiting to mail until closer to that date, that's totally fine!).

My Pinpics wants list (sockgnome) should be up to date, I'm also happy to look through your traders (especially since Pinpics is still missing a lot of pins). My main collections are Alice, Pooh, 101 Dalmatians, and Winter/Christmas. I have a lot of smaller collections as well. I love older Disney Auction, Shopping, and Japan pins, but also tend to need the new releases that fit into my collections.

BONUS: If you are planning on going to D23 and I can somehow set up a pretrade for the Dormouse Profile with you, you would be my absolute hero!

Here are my traders!

Happy Birthday! I don't think we have any matches, but if you want to have a look at our PinPics (username: stratasfan), Sis and I would love to trade with you! We just turned the same age at the end of June!!
And congratulations to Rowan on his birthday as well. He shares it with a particularly special hero and "adopted" relative of mine who was born back in 1828. September the 9th is always a special day. šŸ™‚
 
I totally understand where you're coming from. Postpartum Depression is no joke. So glad you're in a better place now. This year your birthday is going to be 3,000 times better!
I'd totally be interested in some of your Tink and/or 101 Dalmatians pins if you'd like to look at my traders, I have the same name on PinPics. šŸ™‚
 
@Pinfun and @GroguFan, thank you so much for responding! You are so sweet

I took a look at your traders and didn't see anything I needed this time, but feel free to message me if you get any new traders in the next few weeks and I'll take a look!

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! (And for Rowan's birthday as well šŸ˜€)
 
PM sent!
 
We don't have any matches, but I am so glad to hear that you have recovered and I wish you the happiest of birthdays this year!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! It looks like I have a couple of Tinker Bell pins from your daughter's Pinpics wants, pm me if you would like to work something out! šŸ™‚
 
Happy almost-birthday!

You have a few pins from my wants list but I only have one of yours. Let me know if I have anything else you’re interested in! No pressure if you don’t. I’ll be sending you a birthday card either way.
 
I have the one with them playing against the green background, so I’d love the one with them splashing in the blue background, please!
