Hello, everyone!

[sharayahlynn]

My name is Sharayah, I'm 23 years old. (Well...I'll be 24 next Saturday, but...for now, still 23.) I live in Michigan. A lot of people have trouble figuring out how to say my name, so in case anyone is wondering, it's pronounced just like it's spelled. The -ray- is pronounced like the ray in "a ray of sunshine", so SHA-RAY-UH. I'm a doll collector, and I have several Disney dolls. Also, if anyone is wondering, the baby in my icon/signature is not a real baby...she's a reborn, and I love her to pieces. She's my little Disney girl. And the best part is that she'll never grow up, so she can always wear the cute Disney clothes that I've collected for her.

I am new to pin collecting, as in...I don't have any yet, unless I'm allowed to count the medal/pin that I got when my school's marching band played in one of the Walt Disney World parades in 2006...in that case, I have a grand total of one. :lol:

I've become very interested in Disney pins, though, and would like to begin a collection. My mom and brother are going to WDW next month to visit one of my brother's friends who is working there, so I'm going to have my mom collect some for me. Any advice or pin suggestions for her would be greatly appreciated. I'm really into the princesses, but I pretty much love anything and everything Disney.

Welcome :wavey:

I'm also a Disney doll collector recently exploring the world of pin trading. It looks like a lot of fun, but so many that I want already. Between dolls and now the pins, it is definitely an expensive hobby!

Just out of curiosity, are you collecting the new LE Fairytale Designer Dolls?

Welcome. Just collect what makes you happy.

Thanks, everyone! I just got home from work and I came right onto this forum to do some more exploring!

I agree! You ought to see my list of "must-have" dolls...and once I really get into researching pins, I'm sure that list will grow like a weed. :lol:

Yes, I am! I passed on Snow White and her prince, but I did get Rapunzel and Flynn, and they're beautiful! Jasmine and Aladdin are on their way home, and I will be ordering Belle and the Beast. I'm haven't decided about Ariel and Eric yet.

You're opposite to me, I passed on Rapunzel/Flynn but purchased Snow/Prince! I too am awaiting my Jasmine/Aladdin to arrive in the mail. Jasmine was SO beautiful when I saw her in person. I'm seriously debating whether or not I should get Belle/Beast, I keep going back and forth but I'm definitely going to try for Ariel/Eric.

Ah, so many dolls, not enough money

Hey Sharayah :wavey: Welcome to the forums! I grew up and lived all over MI! I am currently living just over the MI border in IN; where about are you? Would be awesome to meet up with some local collectors/traders!
