Bumping. Would love to see some more people join us here. We have 12 this time. A lot of new people but we can always use more. It is two pins. You get to pick the pins and you get two pins. They have gone so well in the past and we have all gotten some killer pins. Does everyone else agree?

If you have two little pin collectors this is a great way to keep them involved in something between trips.

I definitely agree!! I've received great pins, and had lots of fun picking special pins to send to my "people"! It's great fun!! Join us :sunshine:

I received the message saying the picks had been made. One small problem. The person that I drew didn't put their address in Elfster! Can everyone go and make sure that they have their address on there so you can receive your pins!

kimntrent
06-17-2008, 03:24 PM
yes we need addresses. Thank you

Ok. I was ignoring these messages about addresses, but come to find out I was one of the problems. For some reason this exchange wasn't registering with my account so it was like I was a first time user or something? I don't know....anyway I linked them so hopefully my address is showing up now.

MooseBrains
06-18-2008, 10:42 AM
I went to Elfster and it says names were already drawn and it is too late to join. I was signed up but now don't know what to do???

How do I find out who I drew and where to send the pins? I have a really cute pin picked out and want to find out if it is something they would like.

Thanks for the help.

bbangel
06-18-2008, 12:00 PM
You should have got an email message about who your pick was. There is a link in the email that you click and it should take you right there.

MooseBrains
06-18-2008, 11:43 PM
I never got an email or it spammed. How can I find out who I have and how to send them some pins?

I just got back from Disney and see the picks are made - I see my pick but no address either.... How do I get one, and how do I know if I need to add my address?

Oh - found it - I added my address! My person has not added their address as of yet....

MooseBrains
06-25-2008, 02:51 PM
I have sent my pins out along with a little pixie dust for fun. This was great and thanks Kim for organizing this trade!

Thank you so much for my beautiful LE sword crossed pin and the fun Goofy pin. It was so nice of the person to send them to me. We are going to display them proudly at Disney in September.

Thank you.

we got out pins, we got our pins. Actually as it turns out we got them a couple days ago, but Cameron and Becka went and checked the mail and didn't tell me until today when they found the stack of mail...:rotfl:

Anyways, I'm proud today we got some super pins and not only did the girls forget to tell me about the package for a few days, they've now laid claim to my pins...*rolling eyes*

We got a Tinkerbell pin (this is the one Cameron is giving me those puppy dog eyes and pointing out that they match her other Tink pins, and our other pin was a very cute Disneyland pin with Goofy, Minnie, Mickey, Daisy, Donald, and Pluto on it...This is the one that Becka thinks I should let her have.

I haven't given in to either one yet. I'm doing my best to hold out and keep my pins. :)

Oh and my pins were packaged so creatively with Disney notes and some stickers.

Thanks so much.

Okay so this board is a little quiet. Does this mean that no one has traded or has no one gotten them. I am really concerned. Costal girl I am going to spill the beans here, I have your pins and I can't find the box I put them in. And I sorted them before I moved. Teach me to do that. LOL! But I know you will love them.

My pins went out. I'm sort of concerned? Maybe the 4th slowed them down?

I am certain they did get slowed down.

I sent mine out the last week of June. May take a bit because of the border but they should be there by now.
Haven't seen mine yet, but am not worried about it because of the border issue again (I just assume they will take their time).

zoodoyle
07-08-2008, 04:02 PM
I sent mine out on June 30th, and haven't received yet......

07-08-2008, 04:41 PM
Do we ever tell our pin trader we sent the pins?

I also am waiting but am not worried yet - I have not gotten mail in a few days.

MooseBrains
07-08-2008, 09:03 PM
I was wondering that also? Do we tell who we sent the pins to or just enjoy the fun?

kimntrent
07-08-2008, 09:13 PM
You can tell. I kinda already spilled mine but ya go for it.

We sent you the pins!! My kids had a hard time deciding which to send because they love everyone! They finally settled on pirates and goofy after about an hour debate!

This pin thing is killing me this time. The mail is just horrible. I had my god daughters this time and I had just sent them pins but I send theirs out too. Their mom just doesn't understand timelines. Never will. LOL! But I love her. And she had Costal Girl and I can't even find my box of pins. I specially bought this last trip and uggggg!

Thank you so much for all the effort. It is amazing because DH had one of the cross sword pins and wanted more but we could never find them. This was a perfect pin for us. DS loves goofy and immediately put that on his lanyard.

Momtoprincess, we sent your pins. When I read that the girls like tink I knew I had to send a YOMD tink. I hope they like them.

I sent out mine on the first....but they were going from WA to NJ. Wonder if they got there yet? Still waiting on mine. I figure I'm one of the few on the other side of the states and just takes longer.

I am concerned that the person who you had as your partner is missing. She hasn't even updated her profile as to an address so that the person who got her can send her pins. I am sad about this but I am checking on this. I promise you won't get burned. I promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Is it possible to have the person who picked her send pins to Stacy instead?

kimntrent
07-17-2008, 01:15 PM
Yes that will happen if I don't hear back from the person today. The problem I am having is she is a big poster on the boards so it makes no sense. I have emailed through sunshine, elftster, and personal so hopefully. But if I don't hear back by today then tomorrow it will be changed. And that person won't be on here again.

On that note: A more positive outlook: When do we want to do the next one? The next one is our One year anniversary of doing this so it has to be big.

I'm thinking after the SR cruise so I can pick up some great pins. Maybe around the US Thanksgiving? A nice kick off to the holiday season.

I have an end of October Disneyland Trip planned you have a fall disney trip planned. Who else has a trip planned. I know I love getting Disneyworld and Cruise pins because I don't get to go there as much. Kinda like you guys do getting Disneyland pins.

07-22-2008, 12:46 PM
Okay so here is what I know

Wendyburger your pins were sent back saying you were not at this address. That is the mail for you. Can you please pm me with a different address we can send them to. I hear they are really great.

Second Mseg your pins never did go out which concerns me. What concerns me more is who was suppose to send them. They were really active here and then one day fall off the board. So I have your pins here since mine were suppose to go to her. Funny how the world works. I will get yours out today.

I am going to spill a little here. Your secret pin pal is pregnant and due within days so she may not be on right now. But I assure you that your pins are either in the mail or they will be mailed. She has talked to me several times about them.

Oh, that's cool...she wrote me a note too. I'm not in an uproar about them or anything. And wow, I remember being pregnant...I didn't want to do anything, so certainly understandable.
