This week's Top 2 Tuesday is things you collect...
1) Cards. Okay... so this one might boarder on hoarding rather than collecting... but I can't help it. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I have the hardest time throwing cards away... birthday cards, thank you cards, christmas cards, just because cards, even wedding invitations... I know... I might have a problem. Just last night I was talking to a girlfriend about this... we are thinking of starting a Card-Savers-Annonamous group. Anyone else have this problem? I think I might have a solution for my card hoarding, ahem, I mean collecting, more on that later though.
2) Stamps. Not like postage stamps... (although when I was little I did go through a postage stamp phase) but like rubber stamps. This is one of those things that I am really good at buying... but not really using. I just adore the way they look in my antique letter press drawer (compliments to my mother-in-law for the hand-me-down). And just in case that's not enough stamps for you, I have a wire basket overflowing with more. I know... it's boarder-line obsession.
Head on over to Taylor's blog at The Undomestic Momma to link up your own top 2 collections.
I am THE Worst at saving cards. Unless they are from my kids or husband, I think they get thrown away:( Love all of those stamps!
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone with your card saving problem. I have tried really hard to throw away cards as I get them (except from my boyfriend). It really is difficult.
ReplyDeleteI also keep all the cards that I recieve!
ReplyDeleteI keep everything. Maybe we should start a Kentucky hoarders club!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Top 2 Tuesday links!
Should we be friends? I think so... I couldn't throw away a card if my life depended on it. And the stamps? I'd probably be addicted to those too if I could figure out the correct ink displacement!
ReplyDeleteI have half a room just for stamps - you are in good company. The cards you can re-use for gift tags and to cut out parts to create you own new cards (with those stamps!).
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't consider keeping cards hoarding at all! (Have you ever seen that show...omgoodness). But me (and my boyfriend) are definitely card keeps! I have kept just about every card ever (even ones from exes- eek)! And I love all of them!
ReplyDeleteJulia, had no idea you saved cards. I have always been embarrassed about saving cards and have managed to throw some away after about a year. But, now I save all of yours,Jenna's and John's and put them all on the big bulletin board out in the garage to look at any time I want...
ReplyDeleteI'm a total card hoarder too! I can't wait to hear what you are going to do with all of yours so I can copy! haha! LOVE your stamp collection!
