I actually collect alot of things...insults, compliments, double takes, kisses from ramdom people...KIDDING...
Im not a bit bric brac person. I prefer to carry my memories in my head or in photographs (wow...that sounds like...very detached doesnt it??? Im not really...I just dont like alot of stuff!) But I do collect something different:
You know when you get offers for credit cards in the mail, how they send you a "fake" credit card out of cardboard that says: "your name here" or "John Doe" on it. Yeah..I collect those. Ill wait while you stop laughing.

Okay, now that you have collected your breath...That is at least how the collection started out. Since then its been added to and broadened to include such things as:
Out of Use Library Cards
Expired Liscences
Old Credit Cards
Useless Heath or Dental Cards
Void Phone Cards (remember those?)
Used up Gift Cards
and really just anything that is credit card shaped and made of sturdy material.
I have a nightstand drawer full of them. The girl likes to take them all out once in a blue moon and sort them by color or type. Its cool to see them all laid out like that with the various colors and uses. One day I suppose Ill have them mounted or something. Ive often thought they would be a fun thing to put up in my classroom or office if I didnt fear for identity theft.
So....what do you collect?

I collect cordial glasses, Lee Middleton dolls, thimbles. tiny teddy bears, Pinnochio's, tea cups, antique miniature sewing machines. Soooo, do I have a collection problem or what. We laugh in our family that the "Uebelhoer's" (maiden name) (stop laughing - it's German) MUST have a collection of some sort. So I have a few to boot!

P.S. And I forgot Kewpie dolls, I did that one in high school (now they are worth money on e-bay)
