Can you guess what this is? It's a pile of envelopes, you can see that. But can you tell what's inside each envelope?
It's the complete alphabet. And each envelope contains a whole bunch of letters I cut from magazines and leaflets.
Do you want to see a couple?
I love typography and making collages, so it's more practical to have the letters sorted this way. Now, not only do I cut spare letters, I also keep nice words in a different envelope.
... and complete phrases, too.
Oh, I almost forget to mention that I also keep tags, wrapping paper, pieces of carboard, you name it. And this is nothing compared to the bundle I left in Argentina!
Is there anything you do that other people find weird?
Hope you're all having a great week! :D

It's not weird at all! I think it's absolutely amazing and creative! You are so inspiring and what a great idea!!! I think I will start doing the same thing...cut out words and phrases for my scrapbooking...ha, thanks girl!!! Hugs xxx
Wowzers! You have collections like no other. I love the idea of collecting nice words.
Hrmmm what do I collect...clothes, jewellery, earrings - not that I collect them but I just have heaps :)
I use to collect stamps and coins when I was a kid, I still have them somewhere!

I think I said before I collect bits of ribbon?! People think that's strange. Still have no use for it yet! Thinking about sticking them all into a book, but I'm scared incase I wanna use them! I used to be a terrible collector of useless stuff. Or stuff from places I'd been like beer mats, even sweet wrappers! I'm not that bad anymore, but I still tend to get attached to stuff I'll never use! Think since I started living with my husband I've had to cut it all down, as he's a hoarder too!
I've moved my blog: emilydove.blogspot.com, I hope you'll come and visit me or I'll miss you terribly!!!
How clever! I think it's almost impossible for crafters not to accumulate junk - I will often throw things away in a fit of hating clutter, only to immediately regret it when I have a great idea for something that ended up in the trash! Oh well!
looks like something i would do :P you're not weird at all!

Get your hands?
I don't think your a weirdo, I think your an utter genius. It all looks so fun and quite practical. I may have to try doing this when I move to the new place it will be a good use of my old magazines!
