Pin #341: Maryland

This is another pin that we got as part of our Road Trip theme at camp a couple summers ago.  The state of Maryland was nice enough to send a package of stuff.  This pin features the state flag of Maryland on a white background.  Simple, but effective.

Pins #339-340: Star Wars Muppets

I decided to show these two pins together because they came together and they just go together.  Disney does a variety a mystery pin sets where you basically buy a box with a couple pins inside but you don't know what they are.  These pins were part of a Star Wars Muppets mystery collection.  As a huge Star Wars fan and a huge Muppets fan, I felt compelled to take my chances with one of these boxes.  The two pins I got happened to be Bunsen and Beaker dressed as C-3PO and R2-D2.  That's a pretty perfect pairing!

Pin #338: Aurora Cast Lanyard

This is the first pin that I actually traded for at Disneyland.  I don't normally like to trade because I buy my pins because I like them and I get attached.  But I had a couple duplicate pins so I felt ok about trading those.  I saw this pin in the Star Traders gift shop so I made the trade.  I'm a big Sleeping Beauty fan, and I liked this pin.  It's a Cast Lanyard pin so the only way I would have gotten it is through trade also, which makes it even cooler.

Pin #337: El Paso

This is a pin from El Paso.  It features a cowboy on horse, I think.  He could be a miner.  But the prettiest part of the pin is the sunset in the background.  It really makes El Paso seem beautiful.  I've never been there, so I can't say if that's actually the case.  And I don't remember where I got this pin either.  I'm sure someone must have given it to me, but I can't recall who.

Pin #336: Wilson Wranglers

This is a pin from the school I used to teach at, Wilson K-8.  The school nickname is the Wilson Wranglers, which should explain the horseshoes, and the school colors are green and blue.  I have to admit it is a nice design.  These were given to all the staff one year by the PTO, if I remember correctly.

Pin #335: Letters to Santa

This is probably one of the cutest pins I have in my collection.  It features a little boy dropping off a letter for Santa in a mailbox, with Santa inside reading the letters.  I don't know what this pin is for.  Maybe the Post Office?  Nor do I remember where I got it.  But like I said, it's cute.

Pin #334: People to People

People to People is a youth leadership organization.  They organize conferences and international trips for middle and high schoolers.  I was selected to work with them one year, but unfortunately was not able to go on the European trip due to low student enrollment.  But, hey, at least I got a pin!
