Writer's Block: Collector's piece
Apr. 18th, 2010 03:17 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
I am a collector to the max. And a pack rat too. But not at hoarders level, thank goodness. Here are the things I like to collect.
- American Girl dolls. I've slowed down since last year, though. I am a fairly new collector and I went crazy trying to get every doll I wanted! I have 12 dolls now, and unless they come out with a doll that blows my mind, I think I'm OK with this number. I occasionally still pick up clothes or outfits for them. Some of them are on display, and some I play with. I love all of them.
- Pens. I LOVE pens. Sharpie pens. Pilot pens. Gel pens. Marker pens. Pens make me happy.
- Notebooks/Journals. I need something to use all the pens with, right?
- Books. I especially like to get autographed books, and first edition books.
- Little stuffed Mickey and Minnie mouses from Disney World or Disneyland.
- Bags, especially messenger bags. Love them. I'm always looking for the best messenger bag. So far, my pink one is the closest to perfect I've found.
In the past, I've collected scrapbook paper/supplies, Beanie Babies (I have a huge tub of them), die cast Cars (in the guise of getting them for Aidan heehee), stickers, stationery (I guess I still kinda collect this--it's just harder to find these days).
My favorite collection? Probably the books. I can keep reading them and finding something new every time. You all know how I am about reading. :) But I also love my dolls and pens and... well, actually, making me choose a favorite is just MEAN. So I won't.
