I am a collector AKA pack rat. I can not pass up a good buy. Which is somewhat of a problem, at times. Since I work retail and in a mall, I constantly find buys. To date I am 99 % done with my Christmas shopping! Since I find buys all the time it is easy to be done so early. I sometimes over buy and forget that I have something similar, or purchased gift fro someone from my list aready.
I was going to list on ebay, but with the shipping, and the time of year I am way busier than I have time for.
Having all of this is a issue, even more so now as we are going to paint, and do new flooring I do not want to haul around items from room to room.
I have donated so much to Goodwill already, and given so much away to friends and family.
It is time for Gather members to win some of "my treasures/my finds/my loot"!
I will run 10 contests to give "my treasures/my finds/my loot" away, there will be total of 10 contests.
You can enter one, all or as many as you like it is your choice.
The contest is open to everyone here in Gather-land!
Does this sound like fun so far?
Well you know me it could even get crazier, I could throw in a bonus...or two in the package...who knows it is getting close to the Holidays!
Now for the details....how do you enter?
I will post "the Contest" the title will be "The Contest" followed by the featured item name, for example...
"The Contest" # 1 Highlighters. (example only)
You can leave a comment, in the comment tell me WHY you want the item, it can be a gift, for you or to donate...whatever ;-)
Multiple comments will not earn you more contest entries, so you can make them...if you want...but I will only consider the first comment made.
Examples of what I am going to run in contests, board games, key chains, cosmetics, face and body care, collectable items, Christmas items, maybe even a Disney item or two!
Does this still sound like fun?
If so then watch for my first contest post....

IYou are welcome
If I need help & tips I will ask you ;-)
count me in
and, I like the contests where each person gets one entry
it's hard for me to enter the ones where you get for each comment, the most comments, so on...I have too many people to try to keep up with here to have the time to participate.
I don't like the ones where you have to comment comment comment, one comment is fine with me also ;-)
I knew you would love this
This will be so cool I can not wait for the first one then
I just really want to know what you would do with the item or who you would give it to.
Remember only one comment a person.
The first one comes with two Bonus Suprise items- that are related - BUT not the same as the first item.
Hint....anyone want a hint??
here is a hint ;-)
It could be seen as some as Precious....but not gems to be worn...it can be viewed as cute but not cuddly
Good guess
I would give them to Jessica to put on her dresser:)
I think many of us are pakrats.
I am also a packrat with soups, I buy soup every time I go to publix..OMG
