We are not big collectors but I do like monkeys especially the hear no, see no, speak no evil ones and my FI is a fire fighter so we started collecting antique fire stuff

We have lion statues right around the corner...they scare the crapola out of our two doggies. We can totally help add to your collection...

We wanted to take him to Jamaica, but didn't want to risk him getting broken or accused of smuggling drugs.

That's awesome! Have y'all ever heard of Flat Stanley? Little kids do projects where they have to make their own Flat Stanley and then try and take him to as many places as possible and take pics of him there. My friend's niece had this project - we took him to Gloria's for a margarita SHe also took him to NYC and he nearly got lost in the subway ~ OOPS!

I was a total sticker whore when I was in Elementary school. It was so "THE thing" to do. I would spend all my allowance and very carefully go over all the stickers in the store, then bring them to class and we'd trade or get jealous over others' stickers... weird kids

That's cool that y'all collect art from places that you visit - I've always wanted to do that but we usually run out of money on our trips. We did add a really nice sculpture and handmade colored glass rimmed mirror to our collection from Boston a couple years back. It was such a great feeling

I did the same thing! I loved my sticker collection, and I found my books, still filled with stickers, about 5 years ago when my parents sold their home and I needed to clean out all my crap. I loved the fuzzy stickers and the sparkly stickers! I remember that they were so expensive back then . . . now they have stickers everywhere due to scrapbooking mania. If I would have seen stickers like that back then, I would have lost my mind (and all my allowance!).

I do my makeover on Friday on my model...I hope I do well so I can live and breathe MAC...lol

I found my sticker collection book when I was at my parent's house recently. I would take the stickers off the sticker page and put them on pages of a notebook. Then I even included the leftover outline of the sticker page (because, duh, that was a sticker too!! haha). I would draw in the empty shapes of the outline with my own sticker designs. How silly are we as children!! The entire book was full of the most random stickers!!

Oh yeah - well I was so hardcore that I wouldn't even take the stickers off their pages! I would keep them all in a box and if anyone touched one they were DEAD! LOL
