This is what I just pulled the trigger on about a minute and a half ago. I wasn't even actively searching the site for a table. It was recommended, lol. I've needed a scrapping desk for two months now (new scrappy room), but hadn't found one that I liked and could also afford. The fact that it folds and can really be put away (if I needed to) is a total bonus. I already have the 6' model of this table by this brand (as my kids' school & project desk), so I know I'll like the quality. (It's pretty much indestructible). I'll probably (eventually) buy a little stool that I can slide under it when not in use (My scrappy space is small, so I like everything to have it's own niche to fit in). And I'm going to need to buy a lamp (maybe an ott light?). But those things can come in a little while. I'm just glad I finally will have a desk to work on, and leave my stuff on, mid project. So, any impulse buys to tell us about?

Several background rubber stamps. I'm not really a stamper but I want to branch out and change my style in my scrapbooks now that my kids are adults. I am liking the whole Tim Holtz tag/stencil style.

Nice choice. My sister has some of those tables. They are pretty sturdy. |

I bought some Heidi Swapp foil and "foil-able" die cuts that were on clearance at Michael's. I have "enough" foil, but for that price, I couldn't pass it up.

That table does not look like an impulse buy. You have needed a table, you know this will work and is good quality.
I have trouble committing to the large $$ items. My impulse buying is usually in the under $20 range. Maybe with the low Canadian dollar, that range has gone up to $25.
But when I get to the checkout at Costco with all those $20-25 items, the total is scary!!! Same thing in a LSS. I grab the collection pack, the ephemera or die cuts, the sticker sheet, and oh yeah--this line has some dies... And this is all on the speculation that I might use this sometime.
My credit card hates me.

I just placed a shop order with SC because of a coupon and each item only ended up being 2 dollars and 11.5 cents, lol.
I ordered a desktop recently and cannot wait for it to get here. My scrap room is undergoing renovations (almost done with everything except the desktop (using my old one right now which means my tool corner will have to wait until the new top comes in as I'm using the old desk for that) as well and after endless amounts of research, I finally figured out that I could order a custom length solid core door for my space. I was told it SHOULD have come in today but the promised by date wasn't until the 18th...the actual date it's coming in has been updated to the 12th...so much for quick. *sigh* However, I'm really happy to finally be getting the work set up that I want and will just be waiting with baited breath until it arrives (and then I have to paint it...which will probably add days to it's completion time as I hate painting, lol).

Thankfully, I upgraded my sewing machine and electronic cutter a while ago and was forced to get a new laptop last year, so there aren't any other big things tempting me! ETA: I did buy the Doodlebug Mermaid collection, the Bunnyville collection and a Halloween paper pack.  |

yet another 12x12 pad of tropical /beachy paper from Michaels... I've been sort of collecting beach / tropical stuff for the past year because I'm (finally) going to start on the album for the Hawaiian vacation we went on 2 years ago. But now that I've been sorting through my supplies to start making the album, I found out I have something like, 5 pads of 12x12 paper in various color schemes, designs, etc. I think that's probably more than enough... Most of it was purchased at 40% off, at least! But knowing how much I have probably won't stop me from buying more tropical themed paper, if I see more and I like it! I guess having all that tropical paper means we'll just have to go on vacation again, lol!! |

I have those in my cart and I'm trying to hit submit...my problem is I have 3 teenagers! But I do have great nieces and nephews that I could use the paper for.... |

Do you think? Probably. I just looked at the total cost and thought, they are probably $3.99 each retail, but I don't have a LSS store within 60 miles, so it was still a good price. |

I just bought 5 packs of enamel dots on Peachy Cheap. I love enamel dots and these were really pretty colors. I bought those too, in the middle of night when I couldn't sleep. Insomnia can be dangerous for online shopping. I also took advantage of ACOT's 20% off sale today and pre-ordered the Webster's Travelers Notebook cover (Platinum Rose) and a G45 Enchanted 8x8 pad that had been in my cart for a while. Then I saw Tim Holtz's new tag today and ordered the Mosaic Kit for that along with some other items that had been on my wish list. There goes my budget for the month on April 1st already. Well at least Tuesday Morning hasn't been tempting me much lately. |

I bought Anna Griffin's flower decoupage set and a pop-up card kit. I've made one GORGEOUS card from each of those. I got them a month or two ago - I'd better get cracking, or those will turn out to be very expensive cards! LOL

I was going to be an enabler and share the link to today's Steals.com discount on collection kits, but that one is sold out. Then there's the new Simple Stories Tropical line... |

dang it, oaksong! stopit!! lol!! It's tempting, but I really do have to remember I have a ton of Silhouette cut files and a couple stamp sets that I bought specifically for this project. I just have to USE them!! The shipping for today's Peachy Cheap deal does sound kind of high compared to their item price, but I did look on a couple websites for Simple Stories enamel dots-- I found them for about $4.50 for a single package. So shipping isn't too bad compared to the 'regular' price they would cost. I think I'm going to go ahead and buy two. I have no idea how many pages this album is going to end up being, and perhaps enamel dots can be one of the things that can 'tie the pages together' even if I have a ton of different patterned papers for the different pages. (do you like that justification, lol??) And I haven't been in a Tuesday Morning for ages either, so this isn't really any 'extra' spending, it's just 'in place of' haha. |

![]() ![]() This isn't all of them, but probably 90-95% That is seriously amazing. When I grow up, I want to have as many enamel dots as scrapaddict702. So here's the thing. When I like something, I REALLY like something and I go all in with it. I have 400+ rolls of washi and right around 400 packs of Thickers. These are my 3 biggest vices (stamps are getting there). I delayed buying enamel dots for MONTHS because I just didn't see the value in them and refused to buy any for $5 each. Ridiculous! But then CKC was here (and sadly hasn't been back since) a few years ago and there was a store that was basically cardboard boxes full of things for just a dollar or two each...so I got my first enamel dots for a dollar a package (all from the MME Collectable lines) and it snowballed from there. I still only buy them on sale, but I pay more than $1 each most of the time these days, lol. |

I was in an actual LSS on Easter weekend, and I picked up some golf brads that were I guess about $5. Normally I do not spend $5 on some brads but I was in an LSS! I had to do it!
