Do you collect anything...It sounds weird but I kind of collect rosary beads...I got a couple from family...some were handed down. Plus I gave a donation to a religious group and they sent me some and you know how it is when you give to a charity...you get on all kinds of lists...So now I have a bunch of them.
These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    other than pj posters and vinyls, i collect precious moments. they're actually kind of creepy looking to me now (:)) but i've been collecting them since i was a teenager and all of them have been gifts and remind me of cool moments like picking a college or high school graduation...

    As a child, I collected salt-n-pepper shakers but not anymore and I have no idea where the collection can be found today (thanks mom!).

    I guess you could say that I collect crystals, stones, fossils, etc. I am into metaphysical healing and use crystals for various issues in my life.

    I've got several sets of rosary beads, not bad for an athiest hey? :D There's just something very soothing about them. :)

    I also seem to have a collection of Elmos. :rolleyes: Not sure how that happened really.
    NOPE!!!

    When I was a kid I collected all kinds of things: teddy bears ( :o ), watches, troll dolls for a brief period during their resurgence in the early 90s...lol... The list could go on forever. Now I don't really collect anything. We don't have enough disposable income to feel ok about collecting stuff these days.

    I collect those silly state magnets from every state I've been to. Up to 39 right now. I also do the whole Christmas tree ornament thing too. I used to collect pennants from every state too but that has been replaced by PJ posters from each show I've been to. ;)

    Fridge magnets of places that I (or my husband) have visited (I think I need a bigger fridge after this year! :)). Some Xmas ornaments. Some Myth and Magic figurines, but not too many.

    Well, they are cute and I'm glad to have them, but gee, I don't wanna be the old lady with the doll collection! :eek:

    People have given them to me as gifts over the years because I do love that little red fluffy monster so but I've had to politely but firmly say I'd prefer him on my pyjamas or t-shirts and not so much another Chicken Dance Elmo or Limbo Elmo or Potato Sack Race Elmo etc, thank you all the same. :)

    It's my own silly fault! I get so excited whenever he pops up and I gravitate toward him in shops and on tele, so I guess folk think I must want 400 of him or something. :o I'm real careful now to be nonchalant if he appears in my world and other people are about, just so they don't race out and buy me another one!!! :eek: I sound ungrateful I guess, but I'm not, I really appreciate them, but there comes a time when there's something sad about having a toy collection and besides I'm running out of bed space for them all!!! :D
    NOPE!!!

    Thanks, a long time ago I used to be a person trained to kill and I didn't like that person. Now I think act peacefully cause I don't ever want revert back to that brainwashed person I was. I now work as a nurse trying to keep people of age stay alive and living well.

    My first job after military life was with they very young and that was as a pre-school teacher for almost 7 years.

    I once as a child collected baseball and Hockey cards in the early 70's then foolishly through them all away when I moved from Boston. i'm talking crate and crates full of them.
