" Did you collect anything as a kid? Stickers? Strawberry Shortcake dolls? My Little Ponies? Baseball cards? Rocks? Pennies? Didn&amp;#x27;t it make you insanely happy? Tell me about your collections ...**** As a kid, I collected the following things, all of which--at one time or another--made me happy: *Cabbage Patch Kids: Well, I guess I actually didn&amp;#x27;t collect them, but I had six and I loved them so much. There were five girls and a boy, named Leland. I think I still have his &amp;quot;birth certificate&amp;quot; in a box from childhood somewhere. *Rocks: I used to love my rock collection, until my younger brother decided to bury it (he went through a pirate phase when he was into burying &amp;quot;treasure&amp;quot;--only problem was this: He buried my rock collection in the yard and then forgot where he buried it. To this day, it is still lost.) *Stickers: I used to love, love, love Lisa Frank stickers. The unicorns. The bears. The rainbows. I couldn&amp;#x27;t get enough! *Baseball cards: I used to love the cheap-o packs that came with a stick of bubble gum inside. Check out this cute art montage about our happiness and our collections from The New York Times. It reminded me that I know people who collect: pennies, tea cups, old-fashion table cloths, Currier and Ives prints, 1940s diner signs and a zillion other things. What did you collect as a kid? Does it make you smile to think about your old collection? Do you collect anything as an adult? Need to smile? Read more happiness flashbacks from Vitamin G, here. Get Glamour Wherever You Go!
