Day 14: The Things I Collect

Well, I was very much at a loss of what to write about today, when I read Lauren's blog and had an idea. 

I have two collections of things.  The first of my collection is these: DumDum wrappers.  For those who might not know what they are, DumDum pops are little tiny lollipops that come in around a dozen flavors or so.  They taste good, and if you send in twenty wrappers, you can buy stuff.  (It's not wrappers = free stuff, which is lame.  You still have to pay for the items, but the wrappers are a sort of proof-of-purchase.)

I currently have collected 189 of these things, which is odd.  I just counted them all tonight and it certainly doesn't seem like I have that much. 

I used some of them last spring to cover a wastebasket for a contest - the wastebasket is at school right now in my dorm room, but I'll take a pic of it later which I'm back at college.

My other collection consists of bookmarks.  I just counted these tonight too - I have over fifty of them of all shapes and sizes.  One of them is a ribbon, and one of them used to meow but doesn't anymore. (It has a picture of a cat on it.)

These bookmarks are my favorites out of my collection - I got them over the summer from a neighbor who just wanted to get rid of them.  I was glad to take them off her hands.  I believe I had one of Saruman too but I think my sister has it still... I'm currently using the Gandalf one for the Fellowship.

Well, guess it's better than collecting stamps. :)
