    Like Jan and others....printed 'stuff', books (I worked in the trade so you can guess how many I have), ephemera of all sorts....and now of course all things quilting (especially fabric). I also collect skulls (representational mainly), I try and not go 'overboard', I watch 'hoarders' clips on you tube and that keeps me in line.....I'm also a bit of a clean freak, so hopefully my kids won't find me dessicated under a pile of debris one day.

    The one thing I collect that doesn't take up much space is memories and I try my hardest to give some to my DGKs.

    I must collect rulers as I was digging threw tubs in our 5th wheel I came up with 16 different rulers/wedges. That doesn't include the tub I have of them under the trailer.

    The PAPER! and I thought computers would eliminate paper, and it seems that we have more of it than ever! My DH especially keeps paper. We can't seem to get it into the file drawers, which are all full anyway!
