Crafter or Collector

Hello Crafters or should I say Collectors? Its 10:30pm and I am in my craft room doing 20% of work and 80% of a lot of nothing... checking other blogs, cleaning (well a good attempt at it), listening to music (Pandora is great) a little wine drinking and cheese eating.

But as I look around I see a LOT of inventory... I think I went to the craft stores at least four times this WEEK... and at least three different stores. I do use the product I buy, but sometimes I feel like I am a collector... some of the stuff is just too pretty to use. LOL Do you ever feel like this?

Are you a crafter or a collector? Crafters my question to you is... what is your favorite product? How often do you use it? Collectors, what is your favorite product to collect and why?

Sorry that the quality of the pics are not so good. I will be taking pictures of another toy I have so I hope to get better with the pictures.
