That moment when you find that the die you finally splurged big bucks on is being offered on Aliexpress for under $4.00! Had that happen to a stamp set too. Or when you wait forever to buy a stamp or die and finally give in thinking it won't ever go on a decent sale only to have the price drop dramatically right after you placed the order and can't cancel it.
What makes you go GRRRR everytime?

When I get an ink smudge on a perfect card just as I am gluing down the last piece. I know others would say "opportunity for embellishment" but it always happens in an odd place that doesn't present that opportunity.

When I have only one sheet of a paper and I cut it wrong. Or spill something on it. Nothing good happens when you start with one piece of a fav pp.

That is totally why I'm going to get a stamping device......when the Tim Holtz's one gets through the legal mess. |

When your favourite online store finally gets in a range you want to buy, and you go there, and the ONE piece you can't live without is already sold out!  |

When I finally have an hour to scrapbook and the phone rings. I love talking to my adult kids and grandkids, but oh my gosh, I wanted to scrap last night!
ETA - Yes, sometimes I disregard the ringing phone, but I hadn't talked to DS or DD recently, so I picked up both times.

When I came across some lost layouts in my stash in the garage and the adhesive is no longer sticking so the photos and embellies are hanging on the page.

In addition to my husband & teen some days, it's my reaction to more themed, pink, &/or cutesy non-pink collections/new releases. Add insult to injury if none of the papers offered have reverse sides with versatile patterns or in useable color schemes.

When you scrapbook a photo...and realize you'd scrapped it before.
When you lose the embellie that has been on your desk and is a one-of-a-kind and really fits your page, and you tear your whole scrapspace apart looking for it but can't find it...
(then just maybe find it weeks later on the outside patio, or stuck to your cat...)

When you have already finished scrapping an event and moved on only to find a photo or two that you wanted to include but didn't and there's no room to include it on the layout.

A pen that has ink that doesn't flow, especially white ink. I have all kinds of pens and can rarely find one that really flows nicely. I used to use Zig writers but even they have let me down for awhile now.
The finding a pic that doesn't fit is a huge one.
And needing a new blade in the trimmer but hoping to get a few more cuts and tearing the paper. |

All of the above. It's all happened to me. Also, not realizing how much you like a trend until it's gone and you just realize that you never tried it and now won't get the chance. And freeatlast, for the smudge; that's why there is an old saying, "There are no mistakes in scrapbooking, only embellishments."  I just made a beautiful card, then decided to add some ink and yep, the smudge was in the wrong place and stuck out like a sore thumb. I couldn't redo the card, because it was a one off of a card kit. So out came the bling to the rescue. And voila!  |

I can relate to most of the above. I hate it when I alter an embellishment for a layout. When I'm ready to finally adhere the stupid thing, it's vanished with the lost washer sock.

Clogged mist sprays do it to me every time! Also, when I drop that one last gem/enamel dot. Why, why, WHY do those suckers seem to disappear into a black hole? They have to be somewhere! I dropped it straight down! 😤

(then just maybe find it weeks later on the outside patio, or stuck to your cat...) Both of these things!! And similarly, when you've cut the whole script phrase for your title and then lose one single letter like the unattached capital letter at the start of the phrase, look (in vain) everywhere for it then have to either re-cut or improvise...I did that one this weekend and ended up having to turn a B into an F to avoid re-cutting (because THB, I'm probably not going to re-cut just for one letter). But that meant I needed to slightly change the title. Sigh. It still worked, but wasn't what I had planned, KWIM? Save |

Can't speak to unclogging Stickles, but I've had some success unclogging mists by turning the bottle upside down in the sink and running the nozzle under very warm/almost hot water. (Leave the nozzle attached to the bottle.) I read about that technique years ago for unclogging hair spray/spritzer (of all things) and decided to give it a try one day when my mists were clogged. Lo and behold, it worked! Save |

Once they're spraying again, I pump some water through, spray it all out, and let dry on a paper towel. I usually rubber band a piece of plastic wrap over the bottle to minimize spilling potential while I am doing said cleaning.  |

I unclog Nuvo drops, liquid adhesive, and anything else with a pointed tip like that in one of two ways:
1. Push the point of a paper piercer into the tip. If that seems too big, I use a wire. I push it in really far and mix the liquid before pulling it out. Usually works.
2. If not, I snip the tip off with scissors, and then give it another try. Some of my glue bottles are down to the bottom of the pointy part before the glue is gone...
Thinking that would work with Stickles too.

The paper collection just got put in the Pre-Order section and I waited a day to buy it and the one paper I really wanted already got sold out (on Pre-Order!). |
