In other words... I need some feedback, peeps. Are you still out there reading? I realize it is summer and many people are everywhere, but a girl still likes to know whether her words are meaning anything.
SO.
Today I will ask a question and answer it myself. Then, I want to hear from YOU.
Question:
Do you collect anything? If so, what is it?
Did you collect anything as a child? If so, what?
(I realize I just asked two questions, specifically four, but they involved the same topic. :) )
I really don't collect as many things now as I did when I was little. I used to collect cats, dolls, wrappers from anything because I never knew when I might need them, etc. As I have gotten older I have tried to purge more and get rid of things that just collect dust.
Of course, some people may say I do collect DUST!
However, I know I could say I collect pictures because I just love them so.
I love anything that deals with my growing up years.
I also have been collecting things in which to photograph newborns. Anyone out there about to have a newborn and want me to photograph him/her? I am dying to try out some of my new little hats and diaper covers. :)
Hmm... I guess I should also say I collect jelly/jam jars. It will be time for me to start up that process again soon. The kids and I love it.
I sometimes wish I was more like those thrifty shoppers (Ronda and Gretchen... my online/real friends) that can find all kinds of interesting things at cheap prices to use around the house, but, alas, I am just a person not used to much change. I am getting better, but I figure if it still works, I will continue to use it. Every now and again I go wild and change things up. Usually you all are aware of that because I post it here.
SO... it is your turn. Please leave me a comment answering the questions. I really do want to hear from you!

current collections: willow tree angels, scrapbook supplies (actually, i'm more of a hoarder than a collector when it comes to pretty paper)
childhood collections: bells, stickers, stationery
and i made strawberry freezer jam today for the 1st time in my life. aren't you proud of me?
Let's see, I collected dolls as a child and those little animals made of china that you get at museum gift shops! Right now, I collect willow tree angels and yankee candles. I started a collection of old primer schoolbooks. I need to get going on that again. Love going in old bookstores!
well, we have started collecting those brass/gold souvenir Christmas ornaments when we visit special places...I have ones from Savannah, Biltmore, the Smithsonian Museum, a Carnival cruise, and a few others. It makes me smile each year as I remind the boys where each ornament was purchased. I also LOVE to purchase any kind of cute note cards. I have so many of them it's rather shameful!
