My name is Donna and I have discovered a new hobby. I love to collect autographs of my favorite sports stars, celebrities, authors, etc. I have only been collecting for a couple of months and I have been very successful, so I would like to share my successes with others and maybe we can start sharing addresses, etc. I mainly collect TTM (Through the Mail) Autographs but will also post those that I get from other venues as well. Thanks for visiting. This is gonna be fun!

HEY ALL YOU FANS OF THE GAME...I ADDED THE FOLLOWERS WIDGET TO MY SITE...SO Y'ALL SIGN UP AS ONE OF MY FOLLOWERS & EXCHANGE ADDRESSES, ETC. C'MON IN..

Hi y'all. I have a traffic counter on here that is letting me know that lots of people are checking my site out. I want you all to share addresses and show off your successes, etc. I got started collecting autographs by checking out other TTM Autograph sites and man, it took off! I absolutely love my new hobby. So, add yourself as one of my followers and have fun with this. I can tell you that I am probably 99% successful in getting autographs through the mail (ask my BFFT Nicole!). So, if you log on here and get my successful addresses, you will start getting stuff in your mailbox every day like I do and it is so much fun to go to the mail box now. So, come on in. Let me know you are here and what you like and don't like about my site. I try to add my items every day so you need to check my site often.

Hey, here is one of my first followers. Her name is Annie and she came to visit me this week. Ain't she sweet? And my dog would be oh so jealous if I put Annie on here without showing her picture off as well. My Pomeranian is 5 years old and her name is Sissy Freeman. She is our baby and if you play like you are shooting her and say "Bang" she will roll over and play dead every time!
