Euro 2012 stickers
I'm a disorganized person, but when it comes to putting stickers in my stickerbook, I do it in an orderly fashion. I carefully open a pack and place it in a pile. The top part I rip off of the pack goes on another pile. The stickers in the pack go in another pile. The back part of the stickers that I put in the stickerbook get their own pile and next to them, repeated stickers. I think it's easier to tell in the photo.
My best friend got me into this whole stickerbook business. She was collecting stickers for the World Cup 2006 and convinced me to do the same. I became addicted. I'd say that sticker book was responsible for getting me more interested in the actual World Cup and later on club football. I don't think she does these collections anymore, but I carry on. I enjoy them, although I think Panini is ripping off it's fans more and more each time. Four stickers for a team photo?? It's gotten a bit ridiculous and to be honest, it's pretty expensive, especially if you have no one to trade with. This is why I only collect these stickers during World Cups and Euro Cups.
Despite all this, I find a certain peace in sitting down with newly purchased packs and glueing the stickers in their place.

Review in a few words: Thank goodness I didn't spend a cent on this DVD. Despite the fabulous cast, the film was a total disappointment. It seemed promising in the beginning but it lead nowhere. 2/10
