What do you collect?

I love to travel to different countries and so all the thing that I collect are from my travels. I began collect costume dolls when I was 18 years old. That year I worked as a children's nanny in Finland and then traveled around Europe by train. I liked dolls as a child and I am keen on costume now that I am an adult. I have bought back some notes and coins from overseas. I have got some postcards since I was a teenager these have been built up. They give me happy memories of my travels.

I collect friends instead of things! Good friends are very precious and if we have many, we have at least some left when we really need them. Friends give so much joy..

I collect a few things. I collect lighters, coins, political bumper stickers, and some other things. I don't really know how old I was when I started collecting anything. The bumper stickers is a pretty new thing I started though. I collect things simply because I like them and I find it fun. They are kind of like a map of my life. Some people take lots of pictures. I like to collect things to remember certain times in my life. I have something from every job I've ever had. I have some name tags, some stupid pins, etc. The lighter collection is one of my favorites. I have always just loved fire for some reason. I have a bunch of old ones. I collect the bumper stickers because I think it would be interesting to look back and remember what issues people were concerned about throughout my lifetime. Also, a lot of them are funny.

When I was in grade school I used to collect stickers, stationery and stamps. But I don't know where they are now since we've been moving so much for the past years. In college I have a collection of Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel stuff toys by McDonalds. I also have a collection of coins and paper bills from different countries. I also collected candles and angels too which are mostly gifts from friends. Unfortunately, I don't have a collection of boyfriends way back then.
