Books, Stamps, Scrapbookin' Stuff, Boyds

Most of you know that I am a voracious reader. Here are just a few stacks of books I've got lined up to read. I purchase at least half of the books I read from used book stores and garage sales. The others I buy from book clubs or Amazon. Oh yeah, I also buy quite a few at the Eagle Book Ladies Sale 3 or 4 times a year.
Those are my stacks - here are Corby's stacks. Yes, he only reads cookbooks!Most of you also know that I like to rubber stamp and scrapbook. The cabinets I recently brought home from work (yes-they were given to me!!!) are great for scrapbook/stamp storage.

Here are a couple of drawers of stamps. I have a total of 5 drawers (so far).Here are my stamp pads. I buy mostly Stampin' Up - not only because they're the best - but because my sister-in-law Sandy sells it!Here is a drawer with adhesives, glue dots, etc. It feels great to be organized.Any while I'm showing you some collections, here's part of another collection:
Boyd's Bears! I've been collecting them for 7 or 8 years - plush and porcelain. This is just one shelf in a glass-doored antique cabinet that was my grandmother's.

So what do the rest of you collect? What are your hobbies? SHARE!

I covet your cabinets :-)
We're having a stamp camp at church in Nov. I'll bring you a sheet in case you want to come. I love the Stampin' Up Stuff.

What do I collect? Right now it's rejection letters! No, really, I used to collect Longaberger baskets, but can't afford them anymore. I also used to collect cow things, but I grew out of that.

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
