Pin Trading
 

This isn't a scrapbook page... but an altered project. Hope it is OK to post. My family got into the Pin Trading a few years ago. At first I thought it was just another ploy to separate me from more of my money.... but then I got sucked in! And I tell you what, it has led to some of the greatest encounters and memories that we have from our trips.

I have 3 boys, 2 are special needs. Communication/social skills are a real challenge for them. And the pin trading has helped us to teach them some of the skills in a very fun way!!

We have really become pin collectors as much as traders!! So I needed to find a way to keep the pins that the boys (and I) just don't want to part with. I used my scrapping stash to alter this shadow box. We have it on display hanging above our fireplace in the family room.

Hope you enjoy it! TFL!

Both the altered frame and the layout are awesome! On our trip to DL a few years back we met some pin traders. They were great to trade with and we became friends and stayed that way even after we got home!
