Ok...admit it. You are just as guilty as I am. You are driving down the street and look over and see a Michael's on your right hand side. An alarm goes off in your head. You swerve over to the right two lanes, just narrowly missing clipping the front of a car. While they flip you the bird, you smile and wave and make your way into the parking lot. Ahhh...sweet success! Michaels has a huge sale and now, you are going to dip into your money for your oldest daughter's college fund. But it's ok. She has 13 years to go before she'll need it. This is all the justification you need.
Okay, well maybe not THAT bad. But seriously, I love to shop for scrappy goodness. In stores or online, it doesn't matter. I have accumulated so much stuff, yet I always have to be on the lookout for more. My new goals this year is to cut down on the buying and start using it. What's bad is that my boyfriend can't take away his credit card information from me because it is programmed in my head. So he is in DEEP trouble.
I have also decided that I am going to go through my stuff, actually start using my blog, and post a number or RAKs this year. I am excited to share and excited to maybe give away stuff that other people will actually USE.
Ok, I have had enough blabbering. If you made it this far, God bless you and thanks for reading!

omg, this is so me. my daughter used to make fun of me but got to love your stuff. She loves it when I buy stuff, get home only to find out I already have it, so I give it to her. Glad to know I'm not the only one

I am SO glad I am not the only one. I was recently saying I think I have a problem. I cannot stop myself. I havent even bought new clothing in a while...its all scrapping stuff....It sits there for a while before I use it too, because its hard to use it all! AHHHH but its all so pretty and I need it and I need it now.
I just gave away a bunch of my paper I bought years ago and never used. My brothers gf is new to scrapping and didnt have supplies so things I hadnt touched in years became hers. I had to make room for all of my new stuff! So I can feel ya on that too!
My hubby told me recently he doesnt care how much I spend on scrapping stuff because "he likes when I do pages, they are nice"
He didnt help this addiction. He is an enabler! hahaha
Good luck! We should start a club... SSA...scrapbook shoppers anonymous

LOL...OMG. YESSSSSSSSS I am so addicted to scrapbook stores...all of them in general. I will go to in for one or two items and somehow end up spending way over the limit.
I can't say no to anything scrapbook. My hubby also tells me at least it is something I enjoy doing. And as long as I keep scrapbooking nothing goes to waste. lol.
SSA...I am in.

Lol. Yeah. I hear ya!
I keep buying paper. I have stacks and stacks of it, but then I go to make some pages and I don't have the right colour/design paper and I have to go out and buy some more. Same with embellishments. My mom has a Cricut, so I try to use that as much as possible to make my own embellishments and save myself some money. It doesn't always work, though.

I am bad. I think shopping gives me the inspiration to do pages. My sister in law quit scrapbooking and gave me TONS of paper and I do mean Tons but it seems like I find a pic and nothing matches...go figure. The other day I couldn't use the car it was down so I walked in 22 degree weather just to go to the store and buy some more stuff. I needed stickles and I walked out with paper, stickles, brads, stickers, die cuts, and a calendar kit that i'm going to make and send to my grandmother. I rarely spend alot on scrapbooking so this was a little treat for me...or hey that's my story and i'm sticking to it
