I tell them, "you can have it someday, but it will come as a set with all the other snowmen!"

I use to collect moose figurines. Actually, I didn't collect them, I just got a bunch as gifts all the time & didn't get rid of them. My favorite animal is a moose--even though I've never seen one IRL...but that will change as we're moving to ALASKA in July!!!!!-- and the problem when anyone knows you have a favorite anything is that you end up with a bunch of them. My moose items are all packed in boxes somewhere. They're cute, but I would need a "Northwoods lodge" themed home to display them, haha.

I do collect Christmas ornaments: we get the Hallmark decade series every year plus one on vacations (or keychains when ornaments are un-findable). I often pick up a familiar book in a foreign language when traveling too.

DH collects money from different places we live & visit. He also 'inherited' a bag of coins his dad collected.

Of course I have lots of fabric, yarn & craft supplies, but I don't consider those collections. They're just things that are waiting to serve their purpose

Alaska!!! Yay!! I loved Alaska when my daughter and I visited. Hubs & I have talked about taking a road trip up to Alaska.

How fun to be in a place where you can see your favorite animal

I'd love to see a picture of your pen collection, Biancka!! I love Funko Pops, but don't want to get started down that path. LOL! I have 2. I'm calling it quits with those

Do you keep all of your magnets on the fridge, Lynn?
