Donna, I am so sorry. That's a diagnosis no one wants to get. I'll add a few more of my own since this thread has resurfaced. I never understood one photo/one page layouts. Many of my layouts are at least 4 pages, sometimes 6. I take a lot of photos, and I have trouble narrowing my pictures down. I refuse to buy Thickers. I almost never buy pre-made embellishments. I'd rather make my own with stamps, die cuts, and/or whatever is in my stash. I hate to journal. I have never scrapbooked the weddings of my 3 married kids. I struggle to do "special" layouts. I also have grandkids whose birth I have not scrapbooked. I could have written this! I make my own embellishments, hate journaling (just the facts ma’am), the more photos the better and I still haven’t scrapped my own wedding or kids births and childhood. I jump around, scrapping what ever photos are speaking to me at the time (usually trips). My biggest scrappy secret is I LOVE paper. I always have. I love the colors, patterns and texture. I can just riffle through my stash piece by piece all day and be happy as a clam. Purging and I are not friends, unless I find the paper ugly. I still have scraps of favorite papers that are probably 18 years old. |

I watch more youtube or other videos of others making scrapbook layouts than I actually make.

I throw away branding strips. Lol...is that supposed to be a big no-no? If so, I am in BIG scrappy trouble. Try as I might to keep and use them, I end up throwing them away 99% of the time. I’ve seen others do awesome things with them, but I am just too lazy...so maybe my laziness is my dirty scrappy secret. I won’t bother with fussy cutting anything too fussy either...too lazy for that... |

When I make cards, I like the actual process of making them more than figuring out what kind of card to make, so most of the time I copy designs from Jennifer McGuire and others (just for personal use). Even though I tell my family that the designs aren't mine, they still always praise me for being so creative! My mom will tell me that other people say my cards are so good that I should sell them...but they're not my designs! So I feel guilty sometimes when they are praising me.

I buy stuff for projects faster than I can finish (or start!) the projects. I have big ambitions..lol
I hate Jennifer McGuire. Her videos are one big ad. She makes me buy things!

I have spent the last hour (or more, we are in the car lol) reading this thread. I love it! I could have written 90% of the posts! Lol
Ok...here are a few of mine:
I love my ATG
I scrap chronologically. So chronologically in fact that I haven't done a recent layout...ever. I have 4 kids. Each child has an album for each year starting with the Birthday and ending with the last pics before the next Birthday. I am so far behind that I may never catch up! Ex.I am just starting on my college sophmore DD's 10 yr book! Lol
I just got a new Cricut machine that I may or may not ever really use.

I throw all scraps in the bin. I don’t hoard them.

I just spent 2 weekends purging and packing up my scraproom for a long distance move. I threw out 5 contractor sized garbage bags worth of junk and still packed 35 boxes to move! I do not know how I collected so much stuff. I'm thoroughly embarrassed but yet I keep buying and buying.

Branding strips are the strips at the bottom of a 12x12 paper that shows the manufacturer and name of the paper. Usually on the other side is a cute pattern to save. |

I remember not being able to find an entire paper pad of Chatterbox paper years ago when my stash was small. It was behind the treadmill. Guess how much I exercise?  |

I've never wanted to get into stamping that involved coloring. Just today, I realized I like adult coloring books to relax. Maybe it's time to rethink my stance on that one. |

Opposite of others, I don't think I've even bought a full price item that went completely unused. Gifts, discount items, and prizes have gone used but not something I bought at full price.
Except maybe a yard of ribbon. I have 9 jars of ribbon and just thinned that out a lot.
