I bought a cinch or bind it all, that I HAD to have, with all kinds of rings and supplies over a year ago (maybe 2). It's been sitting in my basement unopened since it was delivered.  Bind it all - Check! Genesis paper trimmer. Bought from a Pea. Love it. Looks so beautiful sitting on my scrappy desk. Never cut a piece of paper yet. (5 years old...) Pink Cricut (remember them?) New in Box in Garage. Yup. How many Cricut cartridges do I own? <200 but definitely >150 sigh. Grand Caliber with tons and tons of Spellbinders dies. I mean tons. All NEW IN PACKAGE of course. Big Kick-yeah, that too, new in box. Remember all those QVC deals and stuff. Yeah got them too. Oodles of die/stamp sets. A friend of mine orders from Paper Trey Ink every release night and I have ordered without a hitch through her and got everything I ever wanted. I am good. Ink? Yeah lots of ink. Some has been used. 90% new with wrapping. I am ok with it. I love my chit. It makes me happy. then i put it all away and take it out again 6 months later... |

Oh my, I was just looking to buy one this weekend because I saw a project I just HAVE to do and it requires the Cinch. My fear is I get it and forget about it and forget what the project was! |

My confession is that I still miss TwoPeas, especially the daily videos. I saved several videos before they closed and I have watched them several times now. I'm longing for new ones but I know they will never be there. Did you know their YouTube channel is still up? No new videos, but all of the old ones are there. Yeah, I know they still have their YouTube channel up. Thanks though for mentioning it, I appreciate that. There was just something about getting my cup of coffee and watching a new Glitter Girl video each week and seeing the new product "in action" so to speak. I guess I have a long mourning process.  |

I think this has something to do with how much I loved working at the school library when I was in school because I just loved stamping the "return by date" into the cards, so here goes...
(whispers)...I have 52 roller date or roller phrase stamps.
ETA: I have so many roller date or roller phrase stamps because since the late 1980's or early 90"s, I started to buy them. Also, if I am at a garage sale or a business closing sale, if they have old date stamps, I buy them. I have ones from the 1950's to 1990's that I bought at a Friends of Library sale when they were moving to a new library. I have 2 of those huge heavy duty date stamps too.
Not sure why I started buying them, but they make me happy. I do use them. It's probably my lone hoard item. I'm basically a cardstock (usually kraft paper) in solid colors, stickers, and then pictures kind of scrapper. Mine are more like embellished photo albums.

^^^ I didn't even know there WERE 52 of those out there!! wow!
eta: oooh, I loved those stamps in the library, too-- I think loving the library is perhaps why I have so many journaling cards (even though I hardly ever use them!)
I don't look too close at my stuff- how much of it there is, I mean-- because if I did, I'm sure the amount of $$ would make my stomach turn. if I thought about it too much. But I enjoy buying it (perhaps too much), and crafting with it when I have the time; overall it's (probably) cheaper than long-term therapy appointments, loL!

(whispers)...I have 52 roller date or roller phrase stamps. I didn't know there was such a variety out there either. No judgment here...I was organizing my Silhouette files this weekend and by the looks of it I must own very camera file they offer. I mean really, how many camera cut files does a person need?! I'm too embarrassed to even count them.  |

Paper and markers are my favorite ! I have more paper then I will ever use and markers that I still haven't used. Even when I was younger I loved my paper, markers and colors.

I'll start with mine. I Confess that I have a fixation on the original Prima style flowers, the kind you can stack together. I like to dump them out on my table, sort them into piles, stack them into interesting combinations, play with colors and textures. And then pack them all back away because I rarely ever actually use them on a project. I wish I would have seen this before I pitched all my Prima! |

I have more stuff than I can EVER use.... more stuff then I can even think about, so I sit at my scrap desk and I am afraid to scrap something, for fear I cant find the perfect paper or perfect line of embellishments to go with it. I have so much stuff, I just cant find a good way to organize it! Yet, I still went shopping this weekend and bought more stuff. My goal this year it to actually SCRAPBOOK and use SUPPLIES!!!!! I'm with ya. I'm not crafting much yet, but doing a big purge made it feel less overwhelming and impossible. Good luck! |

 I have at least 185 packages of Thickers. I confess, now it's out there. I bet I paid full price on less than a dozen of them.

when buying a product, the fact that it's not acid free does not affect my decision.

I'm a paper [lady-of-the-night].  I made it through 2014 without buying very much paper at all. Going to try to make it through 2015 without buying any at all. It's not just purchases, though. At the crops I attend they have the silent auctions, and I always bid on...you guessed it... paper! In the goodie bags they have...paper. I'm trying to use it, but have come to realize that I could spend a lifetime of scrapbooking and never use it all up. It is indeed time to purge and give away! I'm going to do it. Really I am. |

I bought the big set of Adirondack markers over a year ago ($114) because I had a GC to use up--and I don't think I've used those markers twice.  I do use my similarly expensive SU markers all the time though, so there is still hope! |

My scrapping friends told me they were going to make me a "punch and paper ho" shirt. I own it. They also say at crops I am a space ho because I will bring out my measuring tape to make sure I get half of the table. Anymore I just spend the extra $10 and get the whole table. |

I love embellishments but most of my layouts are layered paper and cardstock with only the occasional embellishment Yep, this is me too. I do very simplistic scrapbooking and when I use embellishments, I use them sparingly. I love embellishments for other kinds of projects though. |

I can't remember the last time I scrapbooked, yet I keep buying more and more supplies! Sadly I'm turning into a collector as opposed to a scrapbooker! My husband occasionally calls my scraproom the Archive. When I pack stuff up and move it out of the actual scraproom he calls it Freight forwarding!  him, he has a hobby which costs more than mine so I am safe for now. |

I need a big block of time to actually get into a crafty mood and get something accomplished-- and I rarely ever get that amount of time-- so I sometimes just 'visit' my scrappy stuff in my craftroom, lol!! I shuffle around some papers, sift through the stickers and embellishments, etc. with no actual intention of doing anything with it other than looking at it all because that's all the time I have... lol! Okay, fellow hoarder, I can make you feel better about this (which i am guilty of too) because I am far worse than you. If I have half an hour, there is no way I can get any scrapping "done" but I can shop online in that time . All perfectly logical, good use of time. |

I also still have my original red-ball-handle Sizzix. I need to get rid of that thing. I can't imagine anyone scrappy wanting it, and it seems ridiculous to send to Goodwill, and it seems really heavy to put in the trash can, but I need to bite the bullet and send it out somehow. I'm keeping my original Sizzix as a scrappy "antique"  ^^^ yeah that - me too - lol! |

"They also say at crops I am a space ho because I will bring out my measuring tape to make sure I get half of the table.

One of the reasons I like it so much is that we each get an entire table to ourselves, lol!! And I agree with what someone else said; I 'lose' things in my crafting space all the time due to disorganization. When I find them again, it's like Christmas or my birthday!! (and some of the time, I don't even remember buying the stuff at all, lol!) |

I still have mine too! I still use it however it recently has cracked on the top in a corner. I used it again last week and it cracked more! I do have a Wizard's Spellbinders. I just haven't used it because it requires more thinking to make "sandwiches"... and yes I have the new Cricut Explore. I just can't give up my Sizzix and Sizzlits yet! |

Oh and I still have stencils...Haven't used them in years, yet they sit there in a binder. I'm sure my daughter will like them. Maybe. She's been eyeing the Cricut Explore.

I don't blink an eye at spending $60 on scrapbook paper, but can't spend $60 on clothes without developing a rash.  This is SOOO me!! Can't remember the last time I bought a pair of shoes and my sneakers officially have a hole. But I just spent $50 on Slice design cards! That's another one of my confessions. I need to 'fill containers'. If there is room for 8 Sew Easy heads in the case, then 8 is how many I will buy, regardless of the fact that I use the same 3 over & over again. Same w/the design cards. That last purchase was simply to fill the case. i really don't need anymore. More confessions. I keep buying Distress Inks, but rarely use them. The 'I may need it some day' mindset prevents me from purging as much/often as I should. I never met an enamel brad I didn't like. All I need is one occurrence of needing/wanting something that I tossed or gave away and I won't purge my stash for years. I am a chrono scrapper who is 11 years behind. I pack waaaay too much when going to a crop or retreat. Phew. I think that's it. |
