Let's Get To Know Each Other!

[MeanLaureen]

Hey everyone! I've been noticing a LOT of new names on the Collector's Board lately! I think the new Disney Store pins have brought us a lot of new collectors to our family!

I thought it might be nice for us to get to know each other a little more. I know we all share the addiction of pins, but who knows, we might find we have even more in common with other members! Like Jeff and I found out back in the beginning of the year after he joined the board that we both collect Hot Wheels cars and now we have something else that we can trade!

Here's what we can do.. copy and paste the following facts/questions into a new thread and fill in your answers. Let's see if we can find even more things in common and build even more friendships!
