Hello DPF!
Alex (aka icewolf08) from SLC, UT here. Stumbled across the forums while organizing my growing pin collection. Just got home from what seems to have become a biennial family trip to DLR/DCA. Been pin trading in the parks for a while, only to find now that there is a pretty big online community of pin traders and collectors as well. I have recently begun to peruse PinPics and assemble my collection and wants and traders. You can find me there under the same handle as here.
I have always been interested in collecting pins. I started kinda willy-nilly, but then began to focus more on the things I enjoy. I had a great collection of SLC Olympic pins that were sadly lost in a fire, but I have a collection of interesting pin art from Geocaching as well as my Disney collection. As far as Disney goes, my all-time favorite has to be Sorcerer Mickey, beyond that I just look for pins that make me happy.
Anyway, glad to be here, hopefully will make some new friends, and now I am off to peruse the forums.
