Wait, you collect sand? Forgive me for being naive, but doesn't sand stink when placed in an enclosed jar over a period of time?

I didn't know sand stinks if kept enclosed or it can grow fungus.

That's hard work keeping all sand bottles clean and washing and drying sand every time when needed.
I get the visual of Pirates of the Caribbean and
the ship of Black Pearl when I think of sand in bottle, and the monkey dangling on the ship inside the bottle.

I think so, too. The green, blue swirls and amazing patterns in it. It's like holding your own little world.Kirsti Friesen wrote: ↑24 May 2023, 10:00 I thought his collection of marbles was super cute. I have a collection of angels spread all over my house and I love looking and admiring all of them! Collections are something that a lot of people have, young and old.
Wow, that must feel great to be surrounded by Angels.

Nice. Times change so fast, one minute we're playing and enjoying and the next we're growing up into the real world. Which fiction series have you collected as of now? I have no collection of fiction series but I did have a large collection of books from scholastic fair.Omneya Shakeep wrote: ↑24 May 2023, 15:57 I have various collections of different things.

Cool. Do feathers go bad like flowers or they'll stay like when you first found them?Bettny Andrade wrote: ↑26 May 2023, 21:28 Currently, I collect the feathers that I find or that happen to fall on my way.

I haven't kept any feathers but I like crow feathers, their shine and sleek texture is lovely, and peacock feather's, they have good colors on them.

So far, I have "The Harry Potter series," "The Mortal Instruments," "The Infernal Device series," "The Beautiful Creatures series," "The Twilight series," "The Divergent series," and "The Shadow Hunter Academy."

I've read book 1 of Harry potter and watched all 7 parts(or 8) and watched all the Twilight movies. The Shadow Hunter academy sounds mysterious an fantasy one, and I would like to read it. If there's a fair anytime soon, I'll look for these titles.
I don't have series but one set of 3 books by this author Ian Rankin, and his stories of detective Rebus. Great! Detective stories and mystery are what I love reading the most.

That's really nice pictures of siblings, family always spreads a smile when you take a look at those fun family moments. I like to take pictures and videos. And once in while, after like clicking and shooting several videos, we'll sit down and watch them and laugh looking a lot. Sometimes it's quite shocking to watch how we ever did that stuff we did. Super fun!Mellino Itz wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 09:53 I have a collection of family pictures and fun time with my siblings. I take them were ever I go and I don't ever get tried to looking at my picture collections.

Wow, a collection of snails, that's interesting. There must have been all kinds of snail shells.Rowan The-First wrote: ↑23 May 2023, 01:07 I used to have a special collection during my childhood of snail shells, but as they grew up they started getting lost cause I no longer valued them. But currently I don't have a collection of anything.
Well, if you ever feel like starting another collection then don't hesitate.
