    Do you collect anything?

    I thought this up after reading a post and thought it would be cool to see some replies. (Sorry if it has been done before )
    Do you collect anything? If so, what?

    I used to be really into rocks (don't ask, we were learning about them and I got into them ) so I tried collecting those nice gems you buy. It didn't get me far, especially since my dad thought buying something you can find on the floor was dumb. Next, I wanted to collect Beanie Babies but that brought me nowhere also. I also wanted to collect keychains and have a pretty nice collection but I'm not into it very much anymore

    Bottom line - I like to start collections I never finish

    What about you guys? Is anyone "successful" with their collections?

    I collect lots of stuff, and no, I'm not successful in finishing any collections. I used to collect pencils, erasers, stamps, and alot of useless junk. Now, I collect postcards(I have about 400! I want to get some from all over the world), books( well, not really) bookmarks(only nice ones), ummmm, there's more, but I can't think of anymore now.
    Oh yeah, I'd loke to collect cats , and I'm also trying to collect some more money, lol! I've been collecting money for a long time, I wish I was successful in that!

    I collect any and all Lord of the Rings items: cards, books, posters, etc. I also like to collect Breyer horses, and Labrador Retriever items.

    Please don't take this offensively or anything........

    I also like to collect animal skulls to study/research. I know that sounds nasty, but it is really neat. I collect them up at my cottage. Sorry if that is offensive to anyone! I have deer skulls, a cow skull, skunk skull, and I used to have a beaver skull. I also have a bunch of turkey feathers which I found at the end of the cottage drive way. I also like to take pictures of animal tracks. I have pictures of wolf, coyote,deer, turkey, squirrel, raccoon, etc. I know..I am very odd, lol, too bad!

    I collect dogs
    j/k
    I have a big huge box full of beanie babies--that got me nowhere also!! I used to collect spoons from different places--I think my aunt started that when I was small--again, useless!!

    I also like to collect money, but it never seems to stay when I collect it--probably has something to do with those dogs I keep collecting.

    I collect unique cat figurines from all over the world. Everytime I go somewhere, that's what I look for. When I was a CT Auxiliary State Trooper, I collected pig figurines. Go figure.

    I collect Beanie Babies ... right now I have over 200!

    I also collect Teddy Bears. I used to collect rocks, but I had no room for them so I gave them to my grandma.

    I also collect glass that has been washed up onto beaches. I will get a pic later so you know what I'm talking about
