Getting Our Money's Worth

If you are anywhere near my age, you probably had a collection of Beanie Babies at one point. My brother and I had quite a few and as the fad wore out, they ended up in a bag in my parents' basement.

Now, they are getting new life as toys for Summer and Camryn.

Aw, they're cute! LOL- do you remember how obsessive that people were, trying to collect them all and protect those swinging tags?

My kids collected them. My husband has a few left and he keeps them on his dresser that Ellie likes playing with all the time.

My dad actually bought them as a dealer and made quite a nice chunk of change before they bottomed out! Now, all the ones he had left over have strangely appeared at my house.. or atleast a lot of them. Zoey loves them.

I have a whole mess of them up in our attic in a big huge bag. Like over 50 of them. My niece had a lot of the same ones as me and she let Keely pick out a few of hers before she sold them in a garage sale, so Keely has a couple. Some of the cuter ones are on a shelf in Keely's room too. Beanie Babies are still pretty darn popular actually, just not as much as some other things.

Aww, some one gave us a bunch of them for the girls but I think I ended up donating them, lol...we are swimming in stuffed animals!

I found a huge collection in my garage from my hubby's ex-wife's obsession to get rich from them. I ended up donating most of them, but let Summer keep a few. Glad you are using them and not leaving them on a shelf to waste away.
