What is Wrong With Me?

Let the truth be known, I have a serious addiction. Yes, it is on my own blog that I share this affliction with you, my loyal readers! (all 3 of you) At times, I feel as though I am possessed. Possessed to the point that it overcomes every inch of my being. Most of the times, I cannot control these urges. No, there is no way to control myself. I don't believe I am the only person on earth suffering from this malady. No, I am certain I am not alone.
You see, I am a scrapstampaholic. News of the latest products drives me completely out of my mind. I will visit the company's web sites and drool over the new "must haves". And just to wind me up even more, I sign up for email blasts. In these emails, projects galore fill the pages. Wow! This is the coolest thing ever! I can make lots of presents using this latest little "must have". After all, I have to justify my frivolous spending somehow!
What has me all rilled up? JustRite Stampers new Large Monogram Stamper Set!
Check This Out

Now, mind you, I won't be happy purchasing just the Monogram set...that would be too easy. This affliction I shared with you requires me to have all of these items because one just won't due. I need them all...all...ALL!!!!! I need them NOW!

So what is your Achilles heel? Or do you even suffer from an obsession?

Is there a 12 step program for me? For my sisters in scrapbooking? Can we be helped?

Hahahahah...heheheheheh...hohohohoh! Do I have an obsession? Are you kidding me???? Where do I start? You've seen my scrap room. You've seen my stamp collection. You've witnessed my photography obsession. You've read about my new bead obsession. I am totally, unrealisitcally obsessed with blogging. I can't stop! If a little stamp set would make your life complete, go for it! If you get one, I'll get one. Egads! There I go again! There's no stopping me...

hmmm...i did some of that creative memories stuff for a while--my cousin made me do it (she was a sales rep or something).

she made me buy an insane amount of stuff and it's sitting in a wheelie-suitcase thing in my basement. very sad. i only ever finished 4 pages of a scrapbook. it was too hard for me to sit still for long enough to finish something. hee hee.

never got into the Creative Memories products because honestly, I don't like their line. so there, I guess I was able to draw the line somewhere!

Help, I'm scrapping and I can't stop. OMG I think I have every item made for scrap booking. I am like one of your fellow bloggers. I love to buy the stuff as much as I enjoy using it.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
