This brought so many good memories back..

[Destination]

Wow. Dreams month was in September 2007?? It seems like if it was yesterday or something.

[StitchMad]

September 16th!
If I'm not very much mistaken, that was either the day or the day before I joined VMK.

I remember going to the Emporium and seeing that pin all ready to buy. I remember everyone going crazy over ned shirts too.. LOL!

Tron month was a little OTT, but I enjoyed the HOST Games then, grabbing 30 of the Tron HOST Pins in porter games. Gosh.. I miss my clones!

Thanks for the thread, that is so fun to have the history!

[xoop]

Wow! I totally forgot about that stuff! Cool!

[Girly_Girl_4Ever]

Hmm... Dreams month... made dreams come true.... yeah right.....

[MLKnCookies]

Haha, Dreams Month. What a disaster!

[Spottedleaf]

I love the idea except for the fact that just made me cry ;A;
I dont remember the 2005 and 2006 stuff though..
Now I dont have to go into the archives

[EtnaGreen]

This is a really cute idea, and the tron stuff was pretty cool to see that was definitely one of my favorite themes.
