The other mystery will be all of the eBay job lots of hundreds, if not thousands of individual items added that were not totally complete with all of the little accessories, etc. or DS parts projects used to enhance a photo story or display,So, if something happens to me the secrets go with me  >:D!


Part of the beauty is that while trying to re-create your work people will make new discoveries of their own.

True, but I doubt they will appreciate my efforts! Everything will just be dumped into boxes  >:(! Hey! Maybe we need to start a "Playmofreinds last will and testament service" so our collections will be forwarded to others who will carry on the appreciation instead of being condemned to estate auctions! As proof from the age poll, there are definately enough of us old farts to justify this needed service  :yup:!

Back when  I was with the IPMS and the HO railroaders we had a network of 'Hobby Buddies' that were designated to attend to the disposition of our collections in the event of our untimely demise. The purpose was to make sure that collections that had been created over decades went to others who would appreciate them and not just become garage sale fodder due to a spouse or family that did not understand what the value (both real and relative to others in the hobby) of a collection was.

This was a real source of relief for many of us and I can remember several instances where this avoided some really unfortunate situations from occurring.

I think this is a great idea!  When I go to the Great Steck Castle in the sky, I would want to make sure my beloved Klickies go to a good home.
