Hello... how are you mylot-ers... its nice to see you read my discussion... Im just gonna ask you something, out of my curiosity... Do you collect something since you were kid? Maybe cards, or merchandise for cartoon character or anime, or anything with baseball... or something cute and nice... anything that is memorable...? Me, i collected all the memorable stuffs... i was diligent to make paper art when i was in high school, so i kept them... because when i see them again, i will remember, how talented i am... hahaha i mean, im proud that i can make a wonderful art in such age (that i wont do it anymore, i have no time... but i promised my self to do a huge paper art). One of my favorite is the blue duck, with cute eyes... That paper art made my crush really amazed with me... hahaha... most people was saying that im talented in it... I do collected some stamps from different countries... some books with animals and plants... (that may be will be read by my kids in the future) I collected also my diaries... they got all the stories when i was growing from a very innocent kid into a normal high school girl... hahaha... When i checked and read again the content, im just feel that the persons i loved at that time are just amazing at that time... but in this presence time, they are turn into common guys... Nothing! They are not hot... hahahah...

I don't collect things anymore right now. I wish that I would have this enthusiastic to do such things for what I like. Right now, I am just focusing on making money, that is all I care about though. When I was a kid, I used to collect stamps. I have full book of stamps when I was 11 years old. One day, my cousin came over and stole all my stamps, and sold them in school. Ever since, I don't collect stamps anymore.

Hello Kingparker... Yeah, when we were kids we were having fun with our own world. As we grow up, it seems that no other things to be collected but money. :) yeah... However I know that adult also like kids, they have another new things they are interested about, maybe not about toys, we want the real thing. When we were kids we can play cars, houses, monopoly, but now we are playing the real life, and our toys is not about those kiddie things. We may have another higher level of interest, can be collecting house? condo? cars? businesses? stocks? or even gold bars... ahaha... Well, human still human, we are having fun in every single thing that we like. :) right? Have a great day and thanks to share.

Hi there manya_pearl! There were a lot of things I wanted to really collect when I was younger. I had stationaries of different sizes, colors, and scents. And I still have them now. From time to time, I still buy but most of the time, friends give them as gifts. I also had stamps from everywhere. Unfortunately, snail mailing is not that much used nowadays so I do not get much anymore. I also used to collect shells of different colors and sizes which I usually collect from the different beaches we visit. I still have them at home.

I collect troll dolls and their houses. I also have the pirates of the carribbean figures and the ship. The Flintstones and Rubbles figures and their car. The Simpsons figuires. Many are some that belonged to my daughter when she was younger. I have added to them of coarse. All my life i loved those troll dolls. I played with them myself as a child. I remember when i was becoming an adult my grandmother once said i should keep the barbie dolls. At that time i wasnt interested in collecting anything But now i wished i had listened to her. The barbies in my day had the beehave hair style and are worth hundreds now. My sister and i had a lot of em too.

Hello manya_pearl and mylot friends, this is checkmail and collection is my favorite hobby.Even today I keep myself with the collection as the life goes on. Well actually to start with collection first thing I would tell that it is a crazy and troublesome habbit.When I was kid I used to collect all the wrappers of my candies given to me by my elders, it lasted nearly till I was in 10-11 yrs old. Then when started to comence outdoors with my parents , started to collect all types of public transport tickets, that too lasted for a long time.Than in school days all of us used to collect ancient age coins, which we have to exchange for a price or do a barter trade within ourself.Similar to coin collction as we grew up we started in collection of various types of currencies(Countries of the world), which indirectly paved a way for savings.Now after doing school I started collection of the currency notes and coins- new, old, outdated, and still going on. Well I am also thinking of having a collection of all Internet Payouts,specially mylot.collection is just yours craze that would mould in any kind of thing.Mostly beneficial as all the history is related with it.And historians are of great significance to a country. GoodLuck and keep up with your passion for collection. Might it pave a way to your dreams.

I have collected rocks from various places I have visited. I sometimes paint the rocks with pictures that remind me of where i got them. this gives me a creative way to remember the places and events and a fun way to tell my children about them.
