Way too much... like, I'm a hop and a skip from a hoarder... okay that's a bit of a stretch but I have huge stockpiles of everything in no particular order: candles, greeting cards, objet, rubber bugs, miniatures, dvd's, cd's, body products (body scrubs, creams, oils and masks, bath salts, bombs and bubbles, face products) Art, SHOES, nail polish, make-up, books (soft & hard cover and art books), clothes, props & costumes, hats, wigs, jewelry, dolls, photographs because I love to take …
Old As Dirt.
"Getting old ain't for sissies!" - Bette Davis "We are always the same age inside." - Gertrude Stein Hell yeah!
