ZAPPED! An open letter to my DPF family
Dear David, you never give any of us reason to be concerned!! I only wish I could show my appreciation even more for all the kindness you have done for this community.
I personally have felt so welcomed by you, and the kind exchanges we have had has made me smile and really mean just as much and more so than pin zaps. And I especially love logging in and seeing that members are able to make your pin dreams come true just as much as you have helped so many of us!
Thanks so much again for personally making me feel a part of DPF, and for all you do in keeping this wonderful site such a positive place to enjoy pin collecting! :hug:

Thanks David for being such an awesome member of this community. I only joined a few months ago but traders like you have made me feel so welcome no matter what level of trading pins people are on! I will try to zap people in 2014 with pins and maybe crafts too! Can't wait!
You are so sweet!!!Great post!
Kayla,
thank you for being my friend here!!!
We (at least I hope we) are all having fun here with this zap war, but all kidding aside here for one minute. I want to remind people that if I ever have done something nice for you and you want to repay me, don't feel you have to zap me. Amy and I are very lucky, we have a great family that I enjoy being around and we both have great jobs that allow us to zap people. If you really want to pay me back pick somebody you see here posting often, or giving something to our community in one way or another. Even if they are being a cheerleader for others. Let's spread the love here to as many others as possible.
If you are somebody who only lurks here, I used to be the same way. The more you put in here the more you get out of it. It wasn't until I started putting myself out there that I started meeting a bunch of other members here and feeling like a part of the family. Zapping doesn't have to be pins!!! If you have a talent, use it to make others something. Some of my all time favorite zaps are drawings and paintings that people have made for me!!! I have a large file full of them. I keep every little drawing that is made for me. To me they mean somebody cared enough to spend their valuable time to make something for me. That is truly special!!!
I know I have said this before, but, it is not what you zap, just that you zap!!! Have fun with it. I know several people just send little candies or cookies to people. That is so cool!!! Something sweet to brighten somebody's day. My favorite Christmas card we got had some hot cocoa packets in it. What a great idea that was!!! You never know when you might provide that little bit of light that somebody really needs.
Okay enough seriousness!!!

:hug:!! All good reminders! I don't always think outside the box when it comes to zapping, and heck, my artistic ability pale with gaping awe in comparison to the crazy awesome artistic pin buddies we have here. But I will definitely look for opportunities to send some cheer to others in deed and words and/or posts ^.^
I may never be able to be a Grail Royal... But I'm gonna darn shoot for being a Peasant o' Kindness! =D
I think your amazing and do so much for this community!
thanks for the encouragement about nonpin zaps. I just sent one out and I have been nervous that maybe not getting a pin would be a let-down, so I really hope they just understand that I was thinking of them... :anxious:
