When I was young I collected Panda Bears! If I remember correctly it began when I was in third grade and I did a report on Pandas. For about twelve years I collected with the help of my dad. When I got married the collection was boxed up and put in the attic of our first home. When the boys were babies some of the pandas appeared as nursery decor. We moved in 1996 and the boxes resided in our attic for the nine years we lived there. And that brings us to present day.
I have a dilema! I don't know what to do with my precious pandas! I just can't "bear" to give it all away! I need your help and advice! I am a little embarrassed that I am 40 years old and still loving my pandas!
What should I do with my collection?
Kim says give them away. My husband just keeps his mouth shut-smart, huh?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that's quite a collection and such an unusual one! If it were me, I'd pick the ones that really had meaning for me, give some away and try to sell the rest on ebay!
I like Dianne's idea. The money you get from ebay can be used for your husband's chiropractor for caring the collection around for 16 years:). What other collections do you have? My wife has precious moments, cookbooks, pink flamingos, Christmas ornaments, every school project our kids have ever made.
Wait! You are my wife. And I wouldn't have it any other way!!!

I'm not sure what you should do with all the pandas--but I would definitely keep the husband--he may have a *bad* back, but he has a great sense of humor!
I am the exact opposite of you! I throw everything away. Your husband's comment is too funny!!
I say, throw it! But feel free to not.
You have a picture of it. That'd be good enough for me.
I went through all of my childhood trophies, took pictures and tossed them.
BUT, panda bears could be given to charity (like for abused children or something) or sold on ebay. :)
Dianne - I love the ebay idea - I know there has to be other pack rat panda lovers out there!
JB - He is the best and he thinks you are really smart!
J - You are right, I think the picture will do - I just wish it could be that easy for me just to get rid of stuff.
tmk - just throw it? It sounds so easy when you say it!
Kev - Thanks for being my favorite teddy bear all these years!
I am also voting Ebay...you could make someone really happy. Or how about contacting the Make a Wish foundation and see if anyone on their list loves Pandas?
