    I have tons of collections, but I limit them and reduce the amount all the time. Often I regift stuff people buy for me, sell it online, or I toss it in the garbage. Since I like dogs, I get all sorts of dog stuff, and most of it gets tossed or given away. I think accidental collections get started when people are hard to think of gifts for.

    I have been collecting bells for about 24 years. You know the souvenir bells you get in gift shops? I got a beautiful brass bell with a unicorn on it from my uncle when I was 10 and that's when it started. Anytime someone travels they always bring me back a bell. I believe I have over 100 now. Unfortunately, I do not have room for them here, so they are all at my mom's.

    People also know I love Taz (Looney Tunes character), so I get lots of Taz stuff too.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
