Pins
Just went to ebay and bought myself a large pack of pins. I admit it, I was nervous doing so.
Why? Because, apparently, there are fakes out there. The big warning I got was that if it was cheap it was probably fake. Of course not to say that the internet can't lie but the ones I bought were guaranteed to be the real thing and, from what I could find, they seem very reputable. They're top rated, which I doubt they would get if they were selling fakes.
I know Soms promised me her duplicate ones but I've got myself in a corner here... The corner I knew I'd end up in.. The corner called "You're so excited to do everything that now you've done everything that can be done so you have to sit and twiddle your thumb until the next phase".
Yeah, I can't stand that corner. I can't pack, it's too soon. I could finish the luggage tags but I need more string anyways and that's a two second project once I have that. I don't need to do much more with the scrap books. Everything is booked, everything is paid for.. How do I bide my time for 4 more months?
Apparently I do this by buying pins for the kids to trade. At least, this way, I have something to look forward to arriving at our house... And having fun deciding who gets what pins etc. I think that will help... At least for a few more weeks.
