IS: Pack Rat Day - May 17

I enjoy looking up Wacky and Unusual holidays and found this one. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to feed our habit.

So, Pack Rats unite - Send an envelope stuffed with paper for mail art, collage, mixed media art so we can mix up our stashes a bit. Let's aim for about $3, in postage since this is all stuff you already have. It might even include some works of art not your cup of tea, ATCs, Inchies, etc.

One rule: Everything must come from your stash. Do not go out and buy anything. If your stash isn't big enough, you do not qualify as a pack rat.

Date When Celebrated: Always on May 17th

Today is Pack Rat Day. 'Cmon, admit it... .. you're a Pack Rat like the rest of us. If you are a Pack Rat, you're in good company. You might as well come out of hiding behind those piles of valuable "stuff", and celebrate this fun day.

Its really easy to let things pile up. After all, each item you acquire along the road of life may have value or serve some meaningful purpose. 'Ya just never know. Making the decision to discard something of even remotely questionable value, is difficult, if not impossible to do. We understand you perfectly. Why? Because most of us are pack rats.
