What's so weird is that I have a bunch of flags from other countries, but I don't have an American one!

I collect collections!Laughing I have a Webkinz colection, a camp stuffed animal collection, a small Beanie Babies collection, and all my other stuffed animals are another stuffed animal collection. I collect books, seashells, seaglass, rocks, coins (unusual ones), musical things, snowglobes, dust (if you saw my room, you would know why, LOL!!), and stuff. I'm a packrat! I keep the tiniest scraps of paper you have ever seen! Bye! Smile

I collect stamps. I've got about twenty right now. Two reasons I like it: it's fun (duh, why would anybuggy have a collection if it wasn't fun?) and it doesn't cost any money!Money mouth Does anybuggy else have a stamp collection?

:):) I try sewing stuff for me to wear, but I never have enough fabric.....  I can sew pretty bandannas, though!!  Here's a way to make a really pretty one: get a bandanna. Fold it into the triangle shape that you'd wear it in.  Sew so that it won't change shape.  Cut the two shorter ends that form the triangle into little strips (I can't remember the word....).  Put 5-8 beads on each one, then tie the end.  Wear.  It is sooooooooooo pretty! :):):):) I wear it all of the time! :):) I used a pretty purple fabric. :):):)

I collect toy and stuffed equines (I have more than 100 !!) , dryer lint in various colors (white, gray , burgundy, black, yellow , blue and pink.), dust bunnies under my bed, and have just started a stamp collection. I have 11 stamps right now and one of them is from Ireland and another is from Canada. I also collect everything that none else wants.

I have some super random collections. Such as miniature food containers... yeah... need I expand? Among that collection is a tiny wine bottle and a tiny Ben and Jerry's container (cherry garcia, and it was delicious, by the way.). I also have a collection of things that I have found in my sister's garbage cans, (Yes, I pick through garbage cans and occasionally dumpster dive. So? ;D) including, a perfectly fine, sparkly orange bracelet, a really ugly black ring studded with faux diamonds, several cheap bracelets made out of beads, change (yes, my oldest sister threw out quarters. I have no idea why...), and a whole bunch of headbands. Some of these items are hideous and I only keep them so I can say that I have a collection of stuff my sisters threw out.
