I am probably the worst packrat I know. I am so sentimental about little things that I don't really care about, but if someone special gave it to me, then I feel obliged to keep it until Hell freezes over.

My ability to packrat things away and name them "collections" has severely reduced the amount of free space in my room.

As was mentioned on the Interests Main Page, I have quite a few collections. Windchimes, stickers, rocks, candles, bookmarks, earrings, books, etc etc etc. You name it I probably have a few. The first 5 listed above are actually real collections. Meaning that I have quite a few and I go out of my way to add to the numbers.
I adore windchimes, but thats a collection I have yet to build. I only have 15 or so. Million of stickers. Quite a few rocks.. most of good quality. Amber and petrified wood to amethyst and Tigers Eye (my fav).
Candles happens to be my fastest growing collection because my mom puts my candles on display around the house, so she buys them for me (and then steals them). Bookmarks, although I never use them in books, are always good to have. I even have a piece of a camel's bone, filed down to about 1"x1/4". It's beautiful, if not creepy.

Let me know about any collections you have. Who knows? Naybe we have a similar interest.
