[Wolf-whistle worthy graphic fashioned by Graphic Master babymellowdee!]
The inspiration to create this place in the 1st place came after seeing one of eBay's new commercials. It goes something like:
"There are thousands of people who love what you do. How will you find them?"
Guidelines for this Community:
A] Post pics of your collections... no matter how big or small! Whether it's leftover childhood stuff or things you've accumulated in recent years, don't be shy about showing it off! That's what this journal is for! :)
B] Post want lists of desired items (for purchasing or trade)
C] Post pictures of treasures out there you've got your eye on, saw sitting on a table at a flea market or yard sale somewhere, would like to discuss, or simply wish to reminisce about. Even if it's something online... or at ebay!
D] Why not post item storing tips, preserving tips, cleaning tips, connections, or ideas on how to increase the size of your collection[s]?
E] Please be considerate of slower connections and the tidyness of your fellow collecta_belle members' F-Lists & put posts consisting of large pictures (or lots of pictures) behind an LJ-cut tag. Thanks!
F] After much consideration, we've decided NOT to clutter up collecta belles with posts relating to items for sale or swap. Any such posts will be removed & violators banned from posting further. Sorry.
G] MOST IMPORTANT! Please treat members with kindness & courtesy. Collecta_belles will enforce a zero tolerance policy for any kind of lame behavior whatsoever. This includes bickering, prejiduce, spamming, flaming, or flagrant negativity of any sort. Just have fun & be friendly! :)
E] Lastly, don't hold back when it comes to sharing images w/ us! If you're here, it's because you're crazy about collecting things yourself, or want to see what others have managed to compile in the way of all life's trinkets & treasures! The more pictures, the juicier!
*No limit to amount of posts per day! :) *No type of collectable is unwelcome here! (Heck, wanna post pictures of your porn collection? Heh heh! Go right ahead!) *You do not need your posts pre-approved... just knock yourself out, when ever the feelings strikes you!
...and finally... though this journal may look (& sound] like it's geared just for girls, boys are welcome too!
