ZAPPED! What did you get in the "Pin it Forward"Swap?
I got 2 PIFs in the mail today!

First this super groovy ghost from Brandy714:



SO cool, and the starburst is really shiny in real life! Thanks, Brandy--love it!

Second this hilarious Stitch from Sean (lotsoStitchpins):



Another keeper! THanks, SEan! These were both on my "Didn't know they were wants till I got them" list (love when I get pins from that list! )

Awww, that's so sad!! :eek2: I'm really sorry you got scammed out of your pin! I wonder why the postal worker was motivated to take it? Are there general guidelines in place to let traders know that we send pins in bubble mailers?

That's a really pretty pin, it's so whimsical and colorful!!

My pin it forward arrived from the Netherlands, Dottie1979 sent me something off my wants list!!

I'm super excited to have Pin 43413: DLR - Mad Tea Party Ride (Spinner/3D).
Alice in wonderland is something that I collect, and the few times I've been to trading events at WDW I've never had luck trading for this one! I really like pins with motion, and this one has a large spinner, and the individual tea cups spin. Thanks for a great pin it forward Dottie!! :bowdown:
 
From RacheltheRabidRabbit:



One I didn't know I wanted! Thank you! So cute!

Congrats to everyone else on their awesome PIF acquisitions! I love that Mad Tea Party pin! It's amazing!

Here is one that I got some time ago.. The little zip lock baggie, with ripped open end, was still inside the envelope. I had sent a photocopy of the envelope with a note AND a zap pin to the return address BUT never heard anything back.. I have no clue who had sent the pin. :cry:


The point to learn here is that if a pin is sent in a regular envelope, then that envelope will go through the regular processing of the USPS, and the pin will rip right through the envelope and fall out. Pins really need to be sent in a cushioned envelope and the pin(s) should be wrapped in bubble wrap or even a paper towel or tissue. One time I had sent a pin and sealed the cushioned envelope with the wrong kind of tape and the envelope ripped - but luckily, the pin still made it to its destination - probably because of the cushioned envelope and the additional bubble wrap that I used. The DPFer that I had sent the pin to, told me about it, and I never used the wrong kind of tape again.
 
I received these pins from Crystal (caligirlucr) yesterday. Both from my wants list!

Thank you so much!!

 
I got this amazing pin on my wants list from Joni (Blacksmoke), she sends the BEST Chip and Dale pins
