Hi bbs! Twenty days and counting!
You will be happy to know that Mom has stopped decorating our house – FINALLY. LOL Boy, she LUVS Christmas! It really was fun to help her, even though I didn’t think I had time. It was fun to watch her dig through the boxes and unwrap our family decorations – some of them are really old – and she has little stories about all of them!
She’s a snow globe collector, my mom. She has 37 of them in all sizes, and she knows where each one came from. I collect Christmas ornaments myself. Veronica collects stockings – of course they have a gazillion fireplaces at her house, so she has plenty of places to hang them. Midge collects Christmas tree figurines and Nancy collects snowmen. I asked Ms. Grundy about this; she collects Christmas cards.
Seems like almost everyone I know collects something Christmassy, so I want to know if YOU collect anything? I’m bettin’ you do.
Xoxoxoxo

I collect things from Russia and Ireland. From Russia I have some of those Russian Nesting Dolls that fit inside each other and some candy wrappers from Russia. From Ireland I have a bunch of stuff. Such as T-Shirts, necklaces, books, etc.

I collect Christmas ornaments of all shapes, sizes, and types. My favorites are Hallmark keepsake ornaments, and among the favorites of these, are called Stocking Kitty (my first Hallmark keepsake ornament. My mom bought it for me in 1989), Angel Kitty (1990), and a set of three called Christmas Kitty (one from 1989, another from 1990, and a third from 1991). Another favorite ornament is a heart shaped wreath with a spinning Tenderheart Bear of Care Bears fame in it.

I collect christmas paper, stamps, glitter glue, mini accessories, anything I can use to make christmas cards and gifts! Sometimes I buy things too perfect to use, so I just look at them!
I also collect cards from friends and family. Not just for the design ideas but also for the memories that go along with each one.

Wow, I never thought of that before. I don't collect anything Christmasy (for collecting, I mean) besides my presents lol, but last year I bought a few hanging jewel ornaments from a crafting store to decorate my room. At that time, we were still decorating our new house. Now I have to go back to that store but to buy some yarn to knit a blanket for my brother. :D
