Is School Really All it’s Cracked Up To Be!

Posted by PinGirl

I am about ready to graduate from college – less than a year to go.  Wahoo!!  I have prepared and been told all my life go to college, get a degree, your life will be so much better.  Sometimes I wonder is this really true?  I’m here – I take test – I get good grades – but am I really smarter – am I really prepared to be a real adult and get a real job and contribute to society?  Did college really better prepare me for this?  Well I guess it may be a little too soon to tell – remember I am still a college girl you know.  But since I am almost a real adult and will soon almost have a real job I think I would say the answer is yes.   Let me explain.

So Long, Put Your Blue Jeans Back On

Posted by PinGirl

Recently I went jean shopping with a couple of friends.  I hate jean shopping.  There are so many choices available for girls that it makes something that should take a very short time, or that I want to take a very short time, take hours on end.  For instance, there’s skinny jeans, bootcut jeans, flare jeans, boyfriend cut jeans, dark wash, light wash, etc., etc.  The hardest part is deciding which style is correct for you.

Hip, Hip Hooray for School Spirit!

Posted by The PinPros Team

PinPros offers several different types of custom pins, working with schools, colleges and universities to foster school spirit and unify the student body.

Hard enamel pins are a form of diestruck pins that are enamel filled. Once the enamel is applied, the pin is heated to a high temperature, allowed to set and is then polished until smooth. These types of pins are very high-end, long lasting and durable. Soft enamel pins are also diestruck pins that are enamel filled. However, the paint air-dries, which causes it to settle into the recesses of the stamped cast. This gives soft enamel pins a multi-dimensional look and feel. They are good quality pins, but also are the least expensive. These provide excellent quality for schools and other organizations. Diestruck pins have the same manufacturing process as soft enamel; however, there is no enamel or paint involved. The die itself stamps on a thin sheet of metal. The finished piece has both raised and recessed edges, is silver- or gold-plated and often boasts quality so fine that they are jewelry-like in appearance. Photodome pins print directly on vinyl, affix to metal and a clear protective acrylic dome is placed atop the image. These pins are superb for vivid colors, text or realistic photos.
