I don't have much in terms of Spring...too much pink and I struggle with pastels. I'm really happy to have Little Moments from Elle's Studio because of the pops or purple and the limited pink (even when a paper was all pink, the reverse is usable) so it's making it easier to document that part of the year in PL.
As far as anything else...I think I about have a lifetime supply of just about everything...I really need to stop...it's a sickness...but it makes me happy and we're not living on ramen, so...there's that, at least.

Stamps. I'm just not a stamper at all. Not even in my scrapbooks.

I have a ton of evergreen dies not stamps though. Just turned down buying some evergreen stamps at a yardsale thinking oh I have a ton of those. Nope I don't. And woodgrain background stamp Really thought I had a wood grain embossing folder. Searched high and low for it. Came to the conclusion nope I don't own one. Luckily a friend bought me one when she was shopping in the US. It does shock me when I don't have something because I usually have a few of whatever in different sizes, textures etc.

I also don't have an ATG gun. And I really want one. I actually just started an xmas wish list and that was the first thing on my list!

An ATG glue gun. I think I need one, but as some one mentioned on another thread, it's huge! I'm afraid it would be too heavy and unwieldy for me to handle. And the price. Yikes! So I can't justify buying something I may not be able to use. But I think I need one because in my bargain shopping days I bought a bunch of cheap tape runners/glue dots that were of poor quality and my pictures, embellishments etc have a tendency to fall off. Ugh. Someone please "enable" me to justify buying one. LOL I've had one for years and love it. I never even consider trying another adhesive. It is big but not heavy. Once you learn how to use it it's great. You'll just need to figure out what angle to hold it at to get the adhesive going on your paper and then when you're done let go of the trigger and pull away towards you- not straight up. If you pull up the adhesive will come with it. Use a 50% off coupon at Michael's.

I don't have working knowledge of my Silhouette. I am frustrated with it because I look at the software and I can't make heads or tails of it. I need someone to walk me through it and I know I am to blame for it, but I just can't do it myself. Funny my friend and I are getting together tomorrow night to learn how to use ours. She has a first generation one and mine is second. We are determined to learn and use them. Watch some YouTube videos im sure that will help a lot

Time. Time to play with all the wonderful things I have. That will be remedied today though. I am resigning from my job this morning and taking a couple of months off. One of the things I will get to do is enjoy my craft room. Good luck today! And enjoy your well deserved free time in your craft room! Thank you!!

Congratulations? for resigning from your job. Enjoy the break!
It is good. A chance to reset.

oh how I wish I had a Silhouette, I had the original small Cricut then upgraded to the standard 12x12 Cricut and have tons of cartridges including every CTMH one so in my mind I can't justify spending the money on yet another machine but oh how I want a Silhouette just to do cut files.

I had to laugh at this! I think I have a sickness too. I say - ok no more and then I see some post and I think ohhhh yes, I think I "need" that. I chalk it up to parent's cure (at least in my case) when looking after kids. It's my chance to be expressive without having to be an artist. To have something for me, at the same time as capturing memories that are fleeting, meaningful and to rejoice in the ...well..normal... day to day activity of life. To capture it's meaning to me. No matter how insignificant and trivial it may seem to others.
I see how much my books mean to my kids. They love to look at them. Talk about their memories. I think it demonstrates to them that little things have meaning. To find the joy in the mundane and small things of life as well as the bigger....

I have an ATG and I have watched the you tube many many times to load it and I still can't get it right. I'm back to my small tape runner that I get that uses the hemma repositionable adhesive friom michaels.

Willpower. I am curious, which leads to lots of ideas, and I'm apparently very committed to collecting the supplies I need to make them happen.
But they rarely do. I organize my stash more than I create actual pages.

I don't have any Thickers. I can't justify the expense when I can buy a piece of paper or chipboard or foam and make my own at home. I never bought a Minc, or an Instax camera. I also don't own a single Copic marker. I didn't have any Nuvo Drops--until a few days ago! Can't wait to give them a try.

Just cataloged my stamps and found I have only 1 animal, 1 sympathy sentiment and 3 Happy Birthday. I also need some beachy icons other than seashells. I have loads of Thank Yous though. I also lacked yellow patterned paper which I bought Saturday.

I don't have a die machine! Somehow I missed that boat back in the day and I don't plan to get on the boat now. 😯 so tempting though! i don't either! I have had a Cricut in the past and now a Silhouette. But sometimes there are really cute manual dies and I lament over not having a manual die machine. If they were priced a tiny bit more cheaply, I might get one. Not that i need another machine in my scrap space.

I don't have a die cut machine either. I could never justify the cost of one. But I really think I might like one. Just a QK would be nice.

I don't have a Cricut/Silhouette/Cameo or any other electronic cutting machine that may exist, so I'm missing out on all the fancy cut files offered by folks out in "Scrapbookland." I do have a boatload of Quickutz dies and tools and a Cuttlebug. I'm thinking about a Big Shot. However, my BFF scrapping buddy has a Cricut Explore Air and loves it. So the debate rages on in my head.

I have an ATG and I have watched the you tube many many times to load it and I still can't get it right. I'm back to my small tape runner that I get that uses the hemma repositionable adhesive friom michaels. Sometimes the tape grabs the wrong side of the tape film. I always tell people to unroll it about six to eight inches and then place the tape roll like the number nine on the left circle. The sticky part should be on the right side of the film before you start. Then follow the pictures on the ATG. My first tape gun was defective and I almost gave up hope on it too.

I just recently got into inks and bought a few of the mini Tim Holtz distress ink. This is a slippery slope...I have a feeling I will be wanting more.... .

An embossing machine. I love the look and a friend just gave me a few embossing plates, but I can't use them.

Then I think about the unused cricut explore sitting in my craft room and the space and money needed to start a die cut system and I let the moment pass. ☺️

I need someone to walk me through it and I know I am to blame for it, but I just can't do it myself. This. I bought my Portrait a few years ago now and I still barely manage basic cuts. The software is simply not intuitive for me. I came from Sure Cuts A Lot and that software made perfect sense to me and I could easily do anything I wanted. I even designed my own cuts and distributed them for free online simply because I enjoyed the creation process. When I got my Silhouette I really thought I was upgrading but now a few years down the line I'm not so sure I made the right choice.

Time.
Does time count?
Supply-wise, I'm really lacking birthday themed stuff. You'd think I'd have plenty, seeing that we celebrate birthdays several times a year, every single year. But no.
Also, Thickers. I have zero. I'm starting to feel like I should have some.

Can you design in SCAL and import it into whatever software the Portrait uses for cutting? I have Funtime (for my Pazzles Pro), Inspiration Studio Pro (for my Inspiration) and now SCAL (for my Silver Bullet that was supposed to replace the Pro but hasn't yet). I design in which ever one gets the job done easiest, then I just import those designs into the software for whatever cutter I need or want to use.

A crop a dile. Mine broke a few years ago and I have never replaced it I find myself wanting it all the time but Amazon will not ship it to Alaska. It is heavy to bring back in my luggage but I guess I am going to have to. Also Shimelles true stories collection. I wish I had bought more.

I have one in a green case that I have never used.
