Does the collecting bug have you? It’s had me for years. I sound so materialistic but I love looking at pretty things and making art of them. My childhood was VERY lonely. I didn’t have any brothers or sisters, I went to school an hour from my home and there were no children in my neighborhood. So I lived in my imagination and I learned to entertain myself. I also became very attached to my toys. I had elaborate storylines for all of them. As I grew older I started to collect things. Mostly things that made me happy. What made me happy was old toys, pottery, kitchen things, vintage school things, and books. I decorated with these things and enjoyed them as much as possible. When I was done with them I gave them away. I also made lots of art of them- the best part!
