Whoever thought of this is brilliant. We should all meet at a roller skating rink sometime soon too.

We must be kindred spirits, Heidi. Let's so totally go skating. And wear friendship pins on our laces.

Love this, maybe I'll start the trend again here in Fruita, Colorado!

Isn't there a trick to getting the beads on the opposite side of the safety pin from the side that opens?? I vaguely remember that. Otherwise, it's difficult to attach it to shoelaces and clothing. Anyone remember?
