I like to collect anything that has to do with butterflies or fairies. When i can find something that has a fairy AND a butterfly on it i am in heaven!
I collect keepsake boxes. My grandmother used to collect them and when I was about 10 she started giving her collection to me as part of my birthday presents. When she died I finally got the whole collection I think I have over 50. Whenever my family or I go on vacation I always have to get a little box. The other thing I collect is anything winnie the pooh. I have 10 different pooh stuffed animals, 2 blankets, 1 set of sheets, a bath robe, towel, 2 different sets of slippers, a pooh shaped lamp,a pooh snow globe, pooh computer mouse and mouse pad,and I know there is more but I just cant think of it right now. My boyfriend says he hates all the pooh stuff but the thing I dont get is that whenever my b-day or special occasion comes around guess who is buying me the pooh stuff, him! I am also beginning to collect chihuahua things now. I have a chi beanie baby, a purse with a chi on it, a chi sign, and a chi figurine. Its kind of hard to find chihuahua stuff that looks cute or resembles Beeper. Hmmmm.... I think that is all that I am collecting at this moment. :)

What's up your butt today?? Why exactly am I not necessary for this site?? And what exactly did I say that makes me "unnecessary to this site??" Excuse me, but I've been here since the 3rd day this site existed and was invited by Admin Ansy and Jawlaw, so don't you tell me that I'm unnecessary to this site. I only commented on a question that was asked so you can just butt out if you don't like it!! Just don't comment on anything I say if I'm so "unworthy of you". Or you could just leave, whichever comes first.
Ok Mollie, now you asked for it !!! As you already know, I collect GTO "Stuff" and dragons. My wife or I collect or have collected, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, Tonka, Buddy-L, Nylint, Star Wars figures, Comic Books, Kiddie Kars (hallmark), Hallmark Ornaments, Fast Food Toys (McDonalds, BK, Wendys, etc.), Beanie Babies, Buddies and cards. We have probably 500+ beanies and buddies still, but we made some good money on eBay with them when they were hot. Baseball, Basketball and Hockey cards. Oil lamps and some other stuff. Oh yeah, Comic and fast food glasses, pez dispensers, troll dolls, smurfs. We used to have a website called "Gotta Have It! Collectibles, Toys and More". It was my first website I built, and only recently stopped and took it down when I got a domain name for our poodle site. It got to the point that people would email to buy something, and I wouldn't even respond because I didn't want to go look for it. We also used to sell Oriental Antiques at an antiques mall. We still have some nice stuff leftover from when we stopped doing it. Our best pieces are 2 wedding kimonos (white groom and red bride) from Japan from the 40's. They're gorgeous. Actual silver and gold dipped thread. If I can ever find the pictures I'll post them. I'll look at our glasses for you one of these days. We got so much cr**!!!

LOL, GTO!! I remember on TP when we went over this one too!! And I remembered that we've got A LOT in common. In our collections, anyway. I forgot to add that I do collect Pez dispensers as well. My mom in law gives them to us for each and every holiday. I have sooooo many!! Nothing worth anything, I dont' think, but I can't just throw em away!!
as for collections......anything with eeyore or carebears! lol and the ty beanie babies! I have every single one from mcdonalds....i have over 100 regular ones. oh, and pictures if that counts....i have tons and tons of them! and cd's kazillions of those! LOL
Ok, well maybe she's just having a bad day.....why she would take it out on someone here is beyond me..... i haven't been here much latley....is she always like this?????
I could care less if she is having a bad day! It is no excuse! I have a husband in Iraq right now so my life is filled with bad days! But i am still a decent human being!
Yes Roxy does do crap like that VERY often. She did it on TP too.

Could you please enlighten me on exactly which part was joking?? It says "Ok some of it I was joking!!" and "Sorry!! But that wasn't necessary for this site" WTF does that mean?? U can kiss my arse, as far as I'm concerned and not ever respond to anything I say again. It was totally uncalled for and I don't have a clue why the hell you singled me out specifically, but whatever. Kiss mine!!
Mollie, when I first read that..I started to respond myself. It ticked me off, but then I deleted and calmed down. I just started another thread for her....doubt it will help but hope she reads it. She reminds me so much of my son. He really says off the wall things sometimes and it generally gets him in trouble.
I come from a family that jokes ALL the time. We even pick on each other, make fun of each other, but it is all in fun. Now these guys have grown up around that and are not sure when it ok to joke like that. I am hoping maybe that is Roxy's deal. Just trying to be funny but it comes off as rude. Her post didn't make any sense to me at all, but I tried to keep in mind she 13.
You would be doing the right thing by just not responding to her posts. Trust me though, I feel the same way you do about her saying that.....then draggin Puttin in on it? Where did that come from?
Kitty, no I'm not in a Star Wars club. I don't think I like it THAT much, lol. I do love the movies and love to collect stuff though. And I CAN NOT WAIT for the last one to come out in a couple weeks!! I'm SOOOO excited!!
I do see tons of the little Star Wars figurines at the flea market though. Always soooo tempted to buy them, but I know Brad would kill me if I took my collection any further than it is already. Right now my collection is pretty much based one The Phantom Menace. I have, I think, 20 of the collector's cans that Pepsi put out to promote the movie. I know I am missing a few though. I don't even think I have Queen Amidala. They're all full cans, never opened. Some of them did spring leaks, however. Don't know how, but they're like 1/2 full now, and I had them all on a shelf and some of the other stuff on that shelf got soda all over it. Woops!! I'm hoping to find the other few cans that I'm missing. I also have a popcorn tin that has Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda all over it. It was another promo for the movie. And I have a "now on dvd" poster from Attack of the Clones. I'm gonna get that one framed, I think. I just realized that I just touched on a few other collections of mine: promo pop cans- Jeff Gordon, Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. And I collect popcorn tins too. I've sorta gotten rid of a lot of the tins though. Too bulky.
Alright, my turn.....I collect a white glossy pottery line called Provincial by Napcoware...they are so pretty but I can never get decent pics of them.....here they are....
Well that is only a fraction of what I have in that room! lol
I collect face mugs......love these guys...
Then of course my dining room, affectionately called the Olive Garden by my kids...this only a part of the wine bottles...
Then the glassware....nic nacs...ships and pirates....sheesh...too much to take photos of!!
Ansy- show your hubby these pics. They're of most of my DBZ collection. I also have 2 large dolls that I refuse to give up, but I am going to sell these smaller ones, and the shirt!
Here's some random DBZ stuff, some of it came with the action figures: https://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/MollieMae01/IM000501.jpg Aren't I a dork?? These are all from when I was a junior in high school. Had some weird obsession with the show. I don't watch it anymore though. I also have a DBZ movie on VHS and a coloring book that I can't remember where I put. Also did some drawings of Goku and have an art project that a friend gave to me of Trunks.
https://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/MollieMae01/IM000503.jpg I think I have more somewhere. Brad got me a really huge one and that has its own box. I think we're going to decorate the kid room with medieval stuff like wizards and dragons and unicorns. It'll be fun!!
I can't find the GTO boxes, but I'll take pics of those after we move, didn't feel like finding the pop cans, or the Star Wars stuff, or the Monkees stuff, or the PEZ dispensers, or the pillows, or really anything else. I'll take pics of all that stuff after we move!! LOL. There's just too much of it!
The dragons look really neat. I don't know much about the DBZ stuff. Kids use to kinda watch it, but they were more into Pokemon then out grew the interest I guess. Ty had a bunch some other kind of cards...?? can't remember. He sold them all though and bought a skateboard. My little skateboard junkie!! lol
I REALLY need to cut down on my collections!! I'm thinking I'm only going to keep the horses, GTOs, cartoon glasses, some stuffed animals, dragons, california raisins (my grampa gave them to me, i can't give them up), PEZ, and maybe a couple others. I should see if I could sell my Star Wars cans, DBZ, and some of the other collections I don't need. I just have waaaaayyyyy too much stuff!!
