We are created by God differently but perfectly, we have different styles and wants, we also differ in colletions or likes. For me I am fond of collecting key chains, I like key chains as a remebrance from friends if he or she happens to go to some places maybe in the province or other country. I also like to collect bags with different colors and fliplops too. When I was on a mall I usually go to bag section and look at all the bags there if I don't have the budget I just satisfy my self by touching or just putting it on my shoulder and if I have a chance I will promise myself "that beautiful bag will be the next sale and I wish I can buy it", funny but that is how I do it. How about you what is your collection? Do you have funny experience on getting it?

I used to collect key chains too but stopped a lot of time ago. I also collected stamps and money coins from different countries. It seems I have lost interest in those collections, even though this morning I remembered about the stamps and am eager to start putting them in folders and files as a display. Now I collect movies, but I think it's something it will go away soon, I don't like to be attached too much to things nowadays.

I think as we grow older and our personalities change gradually our collections change with us. But it is still fun to go back and look at our old collections isn't it, like your stamps that would be kind of fun to look through again.

I'm fond of collecting freebies from Jollibee and Mcdo. It looks like a small kid but the truth is..it's for my baby...i like flipflops too..keychains...and books.. anyway, i used to do it because i wanted to feel what i don't feel when i was a kid. we can't afford to buy these that's why i am filling up all these for my baby...It's fun and memorable..i love to do it..

I collect candles. I can't pass them by. Some that I have are unique and I don't burn them but others I do. It's a great thing to collect because not only do they smell nice, when the power goes out....I still have light!

I like to collect books that interest me, on the basis that I love to read very much so. I also collect journals, in that I buy new ones periodically that attract my attention, even though I haven't yet finished filling up the journals that I already have with my writings. There are so many journals with an array of designs to choose from.

I love old books, not just collecting them, but reading them as well! I'm always looking for a new one to add to my collection. I usually buy adventure books written by authors like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Jules Verne--they are my favorite!

I used to collect baseball cards when I was younger, now I like shoes and oddly underpants. I also love having pictures and picture frames. I collect memories of my friends and family by taking pictures of them and arranging them on my wall to look cute and wonderful in different frames. A frame can add to the memory. I like the ones that have sayings on them.

I used to collect key chains and still do to a point, if there is one that means something to me I get it or when we go on trips I get one. Another thing that I collect and love is pens. Yes writing pens. I dont know why but I have always like them. I also get one of these everyplace we travel. The only other thing Im a collector of is books and I collect more of those then anything. I love to read!

There are things I dont consider a collection and things I do. I dont consider it a collection to collect keychains but i have tons, I recently started collecting cool playing cards from different states or just any kind I have around 10 or more. I love but dont consider it collecting postcards from different states and such. And dvds I dont consider that but I do have close to 250 and growing when I can. I do collect plush monkeys still get them time to time. I still have my 80s plush I got few years ago but no room to keep going. I was collecting beanie babies at one time but stopped when I had too many and sold a bunch. But I still have a ton mind you. I love pens and journals. I dont know why but I collect them all the time and dont use half. Notebooks too. Its horrible i am addicted! Loved to collect ballet pictures and put them in a notebook want to start that up again. I even used to collect stickers that I do use but not always and rubber stamps all for scrapbooking or fun. :))

I have a lovely collection of costume dolls from around the world. For twenty years now I have been collecting them in the different countries that I have been to. My favorite are the unusual ones that I have got. Some of those were hand made so are unique. I also collect postcards and currency from different countries. My collection all come from my top hobby which is traveling. Today I went shopping and saw a colorful display of bags in the shop I went to.

I used to collect coins and stamps from other countries. I have this medium-big stamp book, and will store any stamps that I could collect from the countries that my parents brought me to travel to. Some are really vintage looking and others are very unique and with a touch of class. As for coins, I love it because different countries would have different look to the coins. Now that I've grown up, I am wondering where are all those stamp books of mine just for old time's sake. I should start collecting more things soon. As I grow up, I get interested in machines, gadgets, and especially the sand, sun and sea. Hmmmmp. Good discussion here.

I bet you got tons of 'em already :) Key Chains are nice things to collect. How many have you gotten already? Me... I like to pencils, collect bags, perfumes, and Havaianas. I don't use the pencils. Like you, they come from different places that I've visited. Some were presents by friends and relatives who were on a trip too. My mom says, amongst my collections, the flip flops are the worst. She really doesn't like them. I don't use all of them.
