When I still a child, I used to collect match boxes. Silly, huh? I just like the pictures on the back side of the match boxes. I don't remember where they are now. Maybe I or my mother just threw them. Now I just collect books.

What do you collect?

When I was younger, I used to collect key chains. As a teen, I collected ceramic plates with horses pictured on them. Now, the only thing I really collect is Willow Tree figurines.

I collect coins. It started working in the post office! We used to get the most interesting coins and I would switch them out for our currency and then my collection grew.

When I was younger I had many different collections. I first started collecting rocks and stones, all sorts. Then I moved on to collecting keychains from different cities, then shot glasses from different states. And finally the last was cds.

CDs are such a difficult thing to collect! I started running out of space so I switched to electronic music. I Like to collect DVDs because that way if we feel like watching a movie there is a lot to choose from but I have no more space for them

I have a shoe collection. I have about 60 pairs, actually I'm giving some away because it's too many for a person.
My ex-boyfriend used to call me centipede...
I was addicted to shoes but now I try not to buy impulsively;

I stopped collecting things as it just fills up my house. On my way to a minimalistic lifestyle. I use to collect candles. I have tons but I'm using them now. At one stage I bought tiny fairies and have tons of them too. Other crazes were shells, pebbles, bottles and tins.

When I was little I used to collect coins, had tons of them, but as i grew older didnt have much left for the hobby, so passed them onto my niece!

When i was small i used to collect various stamps, new coins, currencies of various countries and save them in an album, stamps i used to paste them in a book, now my hobby is to collect various medical books, recipe books to prepare for my child and husband and books of rhymes, stories for my child both religious and social.

I don't collect anything at all. I have never been the one to enjoy collecting things that are just there to be looked at since I adhere to minimalism, I find that collection items take up a lot of space, therefore just not for what I am trying to accomplish.

Experience & resilience( after j4k advice).

I used to collect bottle caps as a kid. Beer, pop - anything. My cousin had began to collect them as well, and later on when I no longer wanted to do it I gave her my whole collection. She thought it was a treasure.

Now I collect good movies on DVD.

I collect CDs. I am really into music and I think it's a lot of fun to look back at all the CDs I have and listening to the songs that really touched me at different times in my life.

I also collect pictures of my man Haha.. j/k, but he is a cutie!! I love him a lot!!

I don't have collections right now. However, when I was in college, I collected the clothes and pants tags. It's weird but I enjoyed doing it. Actually, I still have it until now and I use it whenever I make scrap books. My friend influence me to collect. How about you?

I'm not sure if this counts, but I keep all my writing from the age 9 and on. It's really fun to look back at my old diaries, poems and stories and just kinda see where my mind was at the time. Isn't it amazing how much we change from when we're little, but then again.. there are parts of us that will always be the same and kinda shine through.. It's cool. Maybe one day I'll post some of my old childhood poems or stories on here. I think that would be really fun!!

Well, I don't collect now however, I have a collection of stationery. I started to have these when I was in high school. I don't like to write letters. I just keep it in the box. I appreciate its different colors, sizes and most specially its scent. If you have a money, would you collect a house or a car?

That would be fun. It would be nice to have a few houses, so you can kinda vacation and move around. However, I would wanna be really, really rich to do this. I wouldn't wanna turn into one of those people who collects stuff even though they're wasting all their money and gunna end up going into debt.

GOSH, I wish I could win the lotto!!!!!!!

I know this will probably sound weird, but I used to collect all of my teeth that came out when I was younger. I still have them. Now, I collect books. I used to have a big collection of coins from foreign countries when I was little. I'm not sure where I got them from; they seem like they just made their way to me.

No, I wouldn't collect houses if I had money, but I'd certainly buy the type of a house I have always wanted - a large log cabin somewhere in a wooded area, preferably with a lake or river nearby.

I love bugs bunny a lot. I have some of his stuff toys, T-shirts, slippers and even key chains. However, I stopped collecting it now. Every time I look at it, I remember my childhood. Have you done something like this?

I used to collect dolls and stuffed animals. I still like stuffed animals, but I don't buy them anymore. I have enough and don't think I need any more no matter how cute they may be. I feel like I've finally grown out of that now.
