- Thread starter CiCiCreates
- Start date
I have to withdraw. My life has become very complicated. Our dog is having surgery and will need extensive care to encourage her to rest. Not so bad when my husband can help but he is beginning some cancer treatment and won't be available for times.
No problem, Nancy,, you have enough on your plate! Thanks for letting me know.

I love collecting the squashed pennies!! I have 2 'penny passports' full. Not near 235, that's impressive!
I really don’t mean to be neglecting my own swap, thought it was high time I checked in! There are a few intriguing new Christmas themed swaps and Mail Art swaps cropping up now, I’ve been trying to be smart and not get overwhelmed! Cards from MAKITSO have arrived, gorgeous art deco jewelry!

Hear are mine. Don't know how many different snowmen and women I have. I get some out before Christmas and stay up until April if we have snow. Some are in cabinet and are out all the time. They will go in the mail tomorrow as it is snowing today. Might have to get some out.

They are all so cute and colorful - and cheerful! Wonderful collection! What are they made out of? Or are they all made of a different material? About how many do you have? Thanks so much for sharing!
Leyda, thanks for sharing your collections - very well drawn! I see one of your Little Prince pieces.

Thanks . I have been collecting them for years. Usually when you find one of the machines, they have more than one design you can get and I always get them all. Also, other people get them for me sometimes, since they know I collect them. I just wish I could figure out a way to display them. There’s so many of them, I can’t think of a good way to do it.

I don't know how many I have. Most of them are breakable, but some are stuffed , made of wood and diamond painting suncatchers that I have had on my stand by the TV and I might just hang them in the window soon. I have candy dishes, salt and pepper shakers, Tea pot and candle holders. Music boxes too. I love them all.
Thanks for telling a little about them. I love hearing about people’s collections!
Here’s a funny collecting story. It involves my youngest grandson (now 21!) when he was about 4 years old. We would go for walks around the neighborhood, and he would pick up these little bee-bee gun beads. The ones made of plastic in bright colors. They’re tiny, but he could spot them right away. Then when we got home, he would tell me very seriously “This is a very rare one”. I think it was a color that made them rare, though one color did seem to be as rare as the next. He just thought that was the perfect word, rare.

Oh Nancy, sending you much healing thoughts for you, your dog, and your husband. Much love!
They ship out in the morning.
Love your collections and the cards that represent them, mybrokenart! Wonderful how you used the selvage edge showing the color dots on the quilt card. And the bug card is very soft and delicate looking, pretty dragonflies!
My cards should go out this week. CiCi if you have not moved over the past year I have your address.
My collections include mushroom chatzkies, thimbles, reamers/juicers and books.

Just wanted to let you know you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers. My dog recently had surgery too. I hope your fur baby is recovering nicely and being a good patient
Just received wonderful sets from SiouxCitySue, leydab, and IridescentSiren, thanks so much!
Wanted to share my collection of shell cameo pins and pendants (What does this woman NOT collect??). I do love them, they are like little artistic carvings.
