Little Known Fact

I collect Olympic Pins! I've always loved the Olympics, but I totally got into the pins when the games were in Salt Lake. There were so many cultural pins that made me laugh. i.e. green jello, scrapbooking, missionaries on bikes, and fry sauce! I thought it was fun. Ever since then I've been collecting Olympic Pins. The oldest pins I have are from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and I've already started getting pins from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, which I'm hoping/planning to go to.
Here are some of my pins from the this year's games.


Update: I was asked where I buy them... I get most from Ebay, and Aminco USA. The best ones are actually from the countries where the games were or are going to be... Greece ('04), China ('08) and Canada ('10). I knew people who travelled and they were able to get me some pins. The Chinese ones are really neat, because they are different then the ones available in the USA.
