My Strange Collection--But Not Strange to Me!

Recently (just a minute ago) I visited Avr over at Just to Write. Today she is talking about things we collect. She collects unicorns.

So in her comments today, I added my comment:


Well... I collect Salt & Pepper shakers. I have been collecting them as long as I can remember. The rule is that they have to be unusual AND I don't buy them for myself! They have to come from other people....My Grandmother has the beginnings of my collection at her house. Some of them date back to WWII. Her uncle sent them here from overseas when he was fighting in WWII. So that is why I started collecting....


HOWEVER... I too have a collection of unicorn stuff. It has been packed up for a couple years now. I have seriously thought about putting it on eBay just to get rid of it. I started collecting those on my 7th bday. A friend gave me one for my bday and I loved it. Then I would see them everywhere. Then it became an obsession for a while! lol


Now I think I'm just going to stick with S&P shakers. I love all the different things that you can get in S&P shakers now! You really should see some of mine!


What do you collect?

Until next time........

If you decide to sell your unicorn collection, please let me know or if you post them on ebay, I would be very interested. Perhaps you can post some pictures of your salt and peper shakers.

so neat with the salt/pepper shakers! I bet you have a great collection!!

I don't collect anything; I used to collect Dopey things from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves but I have downsized a lot with all of our moves and try to have the least amount of things I need so there goes the collection stuff :)

I do hope you post pictures of some of your shakers; would be fun to see :)

My collection is not very admirable...I unfortunately collect piles and piles of paperwork, completed homework and pictures, paid bills, etc. I am the world's most unorganized person when it comes to paperwork!!! I can't ever seem to keep it under control!!!

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi

My Goodie Box!

Recently, I participated in a swap over at Dandelion Wishes by Mamarazzi! My partner was Lisa from Like a Valentine ! This was awesome. I was so excited the whole time putting stuff together for my partner. Then I was like a kid at Christmas when I got my package from Lisa. There are some simple rules to the swap.... check out the next one that she does! Anyways... one of the rules is that you take pics and make a post about the goodies that you received. So.... I know these pics and some of the info are repeats from what I did in my 100th post, but I needed a separate post..... just for the swap! These are my goodies as they came out of the box.....weren't they wrapped cutely? I loved the paper Lisa used to wrap it. These are my goodies AFTER I unwrapped them! I got Devil's Food cake mix, white buttercream icing, and cute little cupcake liners. I got chocolate mints, note cards, recipe cards, orange soap....really smells like oranges. I have Aveeno lip conditioner an
