For sure! And when I saw Tink pins I was soooo happy! I'm a huge Tink fan! From the outside you had no indication what was in there!

I'm glad you liked the bag, I did too. I did like the element pins, and since I couldn't trade with anyone to get all 4, I bought 2 from Ebay. At least the seller had Tyler Dumas sign them. I didn't even think of doing that with mine. He did sign the Jafar, Chip & Dale, logo and jumbo pns I bought. I also thought the welcome and farewell pins were rather unspectacular, but the purchased ones were very good. I didn't think it was hot at all, but then I live in Phoenix,...

September will be HOT, but you can count on it raining every afternoon. Plus the lines are not long. Next to the weeks before Christmas, its my favor time to go.

Well, at last I know what you all are talking about!

I was unable to attend the event due to a last minute health issue and Event Services shipped me my pins and goodies (with a note from my doctor stating I was grounded).

The pin bag is GORGEOUS and I love the roominess of the back of it. The front part is a touch smaller than a normal size pin bag, but I do love it! Very nice.

The water bottle...well...let's just say that I may use it...I may not, but it...

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree about the pics!! I was able to find the pin on a sale post of a wonderful person that I buy from all the time and was so happy to find it there and emailed as soon as I saw it hoping it was still for sale!! I can't believe yours ended up in the trash! but on a positive note a least your son was cleaning up! I have dug through my trash several times-much to the disgust of my kids, but losing a pin is losing a pin! Glad you found it!! See you...

Hi Susan!
I only would put perfectly wonderful pictures up of my friends! So, I totally disagree with you!
We all look like we are having alot of fun!! And we were! Which therefore means you look perfectly wonderful!

So Laura got her car!!! I bet she is...

Hi Dawn!! Love the pics of you and Rebekah, but you are in big trouble for putting the ones with me and my goofy smile up!! We loved hanging out with you and will be on the lookout for horse pins! Hope to see you in Sept.
Susan

P.S. found Laura her Simba and Nala jumbo (so yours is safe!) and she got her car after being in yours!! I want one now!

Here's a picture of Shell and I on Saturday night. Not sure who that other person is....

Thanks Shell, I really had a great time!

Dawn, I love your pictures! I agree totally about the parting gifts, but understand why.

So far things are going smoothly. At least they were when I got there about 3:45. I picked up all of my sponsor's items, Cat you are going to love them, and was out of there in no time. I think the best set she got was the 3D framed set. It is really neat in person. Also the gift pin bag is great. It has a flap that covers the pin section and then a zippered pocket that you can use for stuff, like your wallet, keys, etc. I would say this was well worth the price of admission.
