Right across her green dress...what the?!? I'm not sick over it or anything, just when it crosses my mind it makes me a little upset because, I purposely leave my favorites at home when I travel as to avoid this type of thing! I already tried ebay but there is not ONE of mine in the 700+tinkerbell pins on there! Drat! Is there anything I can do? Has this happened to anyone else? Also, speaking of tinkerbell pins, Disney Cruise line released a new valentines disney cruise pin while I was on the ship, so cool! I was the first in line, I met some really *serious* pin collectors. It's so funny to see all the different types of people that collect the pins....Housewives, business men in suits, snot-nosed teenagers, grandmas and grandpas...it was fun to meet all the people waiting for their special limited edition pins, also...the poor girls wheeling out the kiosk practically got stampeded! Geesh, I wanted a tinkerbell cruise pin just like everyone else but I wasn't going to draw blood for one!!! Ha, so fun though...oh, yeah, and I'd love some tips on what to do with my beloved pin...
