Hello fellow pin traders!

My name is Dréa. I live in Santa Clarita (which for those of you who don't live in California, it's about an hour away from Disneyland!). I'm 20 years old and quite a bit of chaos. I'm in the U.S. Air Force and have been a pilot for 5½ years. I am currently going to two schools studying two different majors: court reporting and engineering. I'm extremely outgoing and very personable, so don't ever be afraid to say hi

As far as pin trading goes, my parents got me addicted. When I went on the Disney Cruise in 2008, my parents bought me a pin set (High School Musical, few!). Probably the best move they've ever made. I've been trading ever since. Unfortunately, many of my Disney friends don't pin trade (and if they do, they simply collect), so my collection has never really soared beyond a few collectibles and "sets" (like the monorails; I love those monorails).

My beau of over a year, Vincent, got a Dinseyland pass when I renewed mine. That very day I introduced him to pin trading, and he immediately took a liking to it. He's not a HUGE Disney buff like I am, but the fact that he enjoys pin trading too just makes me ecstatic! Ha! Echo (echoraphael) introduced me to the world of online trading. I knew you could do it (I've been on PinPics for a while), but never gave trust to it. I'm happy to say that I've already established a few trades with some of you lovely folks, and so far I'm glad I hopped on the bandwagon!

Anywho, there's just a tidbit about myself If anybody is wondering what I collect, I primarily collect Tangled and Alice in Wonderland, though, eventually I would like to start an Up! collection.

I hope to get to know more of you soon!

P.S. I live extremely close to the Soda Fountain and visit Disneyland often. If you are ever in need of pins from one of these locations, feel free to PM me and I can try to help you out!
 
Welcome!! Take it from a Engineer ... stick with Court Reporting!! :eek2:

Hi Dréa! Gotta love those Disney Cruises, right? They are such fun, and usually have pretty good trading! I'd say welcome, but I'm also new here so.. newbies together haha? :hug:

Oh court reporting is no walk in the park either, haha! I'm an engineer in the Air Force, and there are definitely times I could rip my hair out hahah!

Inigo Montoya! My boyfriend does the BEST impression of him! :'D

Newbies unite. And, of course we gotta love the cruises. Definitely the best one I've ever been on!
 
Welcome! While I live in CA, I don't know where anything is, so I googled Santa Clarita and found it close to my location here in Burbank. I love pin collecting/trading as do many of the folks here. Hope you make lots of fun trades and all
 
I know I kinda already welcomed you, but what the heck, welcome (again!) :wavey:
Ahh! Thank you! You are so awesome!

Welcome to the forum, Drea!

Is your avatar a picture of you and your boyfriend dressed as Rapunzel and Flynn? Awesome costumes!! I love it.

Well hello there!

Yes! My boyfriend and I were Flynn and Rapunzel for Halloween he had this gnarly beard and stache that he's had for years, and I convinced him to shave it just to be the perfect Flynn haha!!
