Did anybody have a sticker collection when they were a kid?

I did! I loved the scratch and sniff ones! And the puffy stickers. My mom couldn't afford to buy me new ones, so I always envied my friends theirs.

Did I have a sticker collection? I had more sticker albums than most families have photo albums! I loved the puffy stickers wtih the googly eyes, like the vegetable ones. Oh, and then they came out with he satin stickers. LOVED THEM! Ooooh! And then, they came up with those stickers with the greenish/bluish liquid in them. They were awesome. Oh, and the shiny stickers! My best friend and I used to trade our stickers with each other like crazy. Oh my goodness, when I think about the fights we would get in over good/bad trades! She is now my dd's godmother and she lives in San Francisco. For Christmas she sent dd an enormous box of Sandylion stickers that has over 2500 in it! I almost passed out, I was so excited! Then I reminded myself that I'm 31 and I don't trade stickers anymore, and they were for dd, not me. These days, I trade coupons. Hmmmm...do I see a pattern developing here?

LOL, Amy, I thought this question would conjure up some fond memories! I guess that's why boys like baseball cards, huh?

I used to have sticker collections, all kinds of em, puffy, prism, shiny, glittery, scratch and sniff, from the teacher stickers, and on and on. My son now loves stickers, but I can't for the life of me find any albums....any hints?

I have concidered making him one...but i would like to see if i could find one first, LOL. I still love stickers and do trade em under the guise of trading scrapbook supplies....

Well, I just used a photo album when I was a kid, I didn't even know they had special sticker albums!

Yes I had a sticker collection.I liked the scratch and sniff ones best.

I am laughing because this thread tells how old you are. I am with Carolyn, we had sticker books, but not sticker collections. My Mom once made my dd a covered album, like a photo album for her stickers and she loved collecting them. I have noticed some of the girls at school (5th grade) collect some with girls on them. The girls on the stickers look like Brat Dolls, has anyone seen them? They buy them from machines and trade their doubles. I think they are addictive for them.

I had a sticker collection to.My favs were scratch n sniff,cabbage patch kids,strawberry shortcake,shirt tales,Holly Hobbie, and of course the garbage pail kids

I think I threw out all that type stuff when I got married but I wish now I would've saved them...just to look through it again and remember a piece of my childhood

Oh and does anyone remember the pink and white dog with big purple sunglasses called Poochie? I loved that cartoon

I am too old to have collected stickers as a child but, I have a collection now! LOL! Our Granddaughters and I buy stickers and share them. We have sticker albums and have for several years. I like to use stickers on snail mail too. Theresa, I think we got our sticker albums at Toys R Us.

I had one. I had one!! LMAO
Did you guys live at the Rainbow Shop? I looooved that place and would buy so many stickers and trade them. I loved the puffy googly eyed ones. hehe It makes me laugh to think how much I loved stickers. The scratch n sniff ones make me always think of the skunk one. Oh yuk who thought of that??

**Katybird** · 01-28-2003, 09:49 PM

I didn't have one but my younger sisters both did. I remember that they also loved the ones with the googly eyes, and the smelly ones. I also remember them getting into so much trouble for sticking stickers on my brand new French Provenical Canopy bed and the night stands that went with it. I was so mad but not as mad as my Mom, I can even remember that they were the scratch and sniff ones, smelled like fruit, grapes and cherries and bananas. I don't think that we ever completely got the adhesive off of the furniture.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane

Blessings,
Kathy
