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.

Margaritaville!

We had a wonderful get-together at On the Border this afternoon. The margaritas were great! Of course, I was the only one drinking - and I'm not even much of a drinker. It was great seeing my niece, Lenore and my nephew, Nick. Even though Nick lives here, I don't get to see him much, as his work hours prevent us from seeing much of each other. We did make a pact to get together and see a movie over the Thankgiving holiday. We will be going to Oklahoma on Thanksgiving to spend it with Charles, but I'll have to come back Thanksgiving night as I have to work on Friday. Here are some pictures from our afternoon out. Kaleb with Nick (Brandon provided Kaleb's rabbit ears)... Kaitlin and Brandon Mom, Terry, Sandy and Lenore Lenore and Mike Ryan and Diana Diana in her Garth t-shirt (I can't wait until tomorrow night!) Me with my sister Rhonda Mom and Lenore THE WHOLE CREW minus me - I'd rather be taking the picture! We are childless tonight, as Brandon went to a concert...
