I think making porcelain dolls would be fun, but also rather expensive.

Hey Angel here's a knitting cast on tutorial. It's not the way I learned, but it seems really easy. *nod* Also, in regards to porcelain dolls: My grandmother and her mom made them. The hardest ones to do (from what my grandmother said) were the black ones. You have to paint the hands and limbs along with the other details, and once they're put in the kiln, they had a tendency to not hold the paint and had to be painted multiple times. She made the cutest little baby though. She named it Tipee. I wish I had a picture of her.

Ooooh! Stickers! What kind of stickers? Are they the shiny Prism stickers?? O.o (Sorry, I'm a bit hyper atm... >.>)

[Fauxreal]

I love all kinds of stickers. I have some extra Val day ones with little foxes and hearts on them.

[Kilala Mikal]

D'awwwwww. Most of the stickers I've had have been the Prism stickers. I think Lisa Frank's were some of my favorites. I used to love the rainbow Tiger.

I still have some Lisa Frank stickers! Came across them when I was going through an old stationary box. I still like to collect stickers, though I'm no longer inclined to stick *all* of them into an album and use the doubles to embellish letters and such.

I used to collect charms. I had a notebook/trapperkeeper type thing full of them. My great granny got it for me at a thrift store, and I found lots of them at yardsales. I think a friends older sister gave me some of hers. I had around 100 of them...

This is a general idea of what I'm talking about. I never wore them, like this person was talking about, but I used them with my dolls. My favorite was a lucky cat with a gold bell around its neck.

Kilala - omg! I used to have so many of those!

Also - I still have Lisa Frank stickers. They sell them at various places. :)

The last stickers I bought were a booklet of Spiderman ones for my son's stocking this past Christmas, lol. Although, I was going through some boxes in our basement and came across some Prism Lisa Frank Unicorn stickers that I had from back in the last 90's early 2000's. They're still sticky! XD

I'd have to say my favorite charms were the little animals.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

I still have a lot of stickers from when I was in high School, too. ^.^ Yay!

[Fauxreal]

They have some great Charms at Disney - a little more shiny - but fantastic.

*yay*! Sticker people... I thought I was the only one!

[Kilala Mikal]

*pats* It takes all types to make the world go 'round. *nod* You just so happen to have more like you than you thought. <3

[Angel Spirit Girl]

I think I was too old to hit the charm craze, though. I don't think I ended up with any of them.

[Kilala Mikal]

I was either eight or nine when I was collecting and that was in the '97/'98 time frame. I think I got my first charms when I was seven though... so that would be '96.

I was out of grad school then, and had finally found a job.

I was more likely to buy a fantasy novel then a charm clip I had no place to clip it to. XD
