every supply I own, I overbought. Paper, cardstock, fibers, ribbon, stamps, ink pads, albums, chipboard, embellishments, paper flowers, and now project life. There's something about collecting that makes me happy and then completely overwhelmed.

Yes, I've overbought a product but not wood veneers. My weakness is PAPER! Same here! |

Well 6x6 pads and various embellishments. I think the problem is I buy one of something and like it and then I worry about 'running out' so I get a few more and before you know it my stash is overflowing. Then I wonder what made me buy eleventy million flower centers from Prima  I did this for years... Also "saving" things for a special project. No more- I finished a travel book and broke open many of the things I was hoarding...... |

Project life cards for me! Especially since I mostly make my own. And yet...I own partials of almost every kit out there.  |

Things I have overbought and don't use include ribbon and stamps. I may or may not have a problem with Christmas pp. I'm not telling.
I have a ton of alphabet stickers but I really do use those, so I don't feel bad about them.

Heck yes. - 12x12 Paper
- Stickers (I seriously have BINS of stickers...I blame this on loving stickers when I was a kid, and now that I'm adult there is no one here to tell me "NO! You can't buy that!")
- Project Life cards. I used them once--for people to scratch down memories on at a memorial service (but I didn't even write down a memory!)

I overbuy pretty much every product I like. I buy one to use and one to save. Or maybe two to save in case it turns out I really love it. PL cards are the worst because the sets are so BIG! I like a few cards from all the different versions, but even dividing the kits and sharing with people, I still have thousands of cards I'll never use. Literally a Rascog full as well as a Recollections 2 drawer cube overflowing with cards. |

Like many of you...raw chipboard! Since it takes extra effort, I find that I don't use it as much. I love the way it looks after I've added paper or mist or ink or whatever, but more often I just need something that is already ready-to-go!

Too much girly paper, from every scrapbook convention over the last 6+ years (do not have a girl, but couldn't control myself). Oh, and chipboard! Have a whole drawer full of unopened packages.

Everything!!!
Paper, wood veneers, enamel dots, washi, thickers, flair badges, I could go on and on!
But I do use these things on pretty much every layout!

Enamel dots/Perler beads, wood veneer, and I'm about to over-buy sequins. BUT, I do use them all a ton, they're kinda timeless in that they don't have like a theme (my wood veneer are stars and hearts, that kind of thing) and I'm also making them do double duty on my mixed media canvases so I figure if I get tired of them on layouts I won't be shy throwing them on a canvas to try this idea or that.

Ummm yeah that would be paper! It's so hard not to buy it when it is so cute. Sometimes I end up kicking myself for buying it when I know fully well I have plenty of paper to last a lifetime.

Too much cardstock!! I rarely use it anymore and have 5 full Cropper Hopper paper storage holders full of it. I keep it around for my girls' school projects and card bases, though.

I've overbought just about everything, but my friend and I still laugh about the night we went nuts and bought enough magic mesh to circle the globe three times.
It was the height of the scrapbooking craze and we were attending an all night crop at a huge scrapbooking convention in Dallas. A man who sounded like a cross between a circus barker and a revival preacher got on the microphone and announced "a once in a lifetime opportunity to invest in magic mesh for a $1.00 less than you could find it any other place."
He told us to hurry over to his booth, because "at prices like this, I can't afford to leave the offer open for more than 30 minutes."
At first we resisted, but when we saw the commotion over at his booth (women pushing and shoving to get to the front of the line), we decided we just couldn't pass up this deal. We made our way to the booth and we each managed to grab about 20 rolls of magic mesh in every color of the rainbow.
We were so proud of ourselves for being such good bargain shoppers and we couldn't believe all the money we had saved!
My friend ended up doing one layout using magic mesh. I never used any of mine. I tried to sell the magic mesh for 1/2 of what I bought it for, but couldn't find any takers. I then tried to give it away, but no one wanted it. I finally gave it to a high school art teacher who said her students might use it on collages.

Brads for me. I just could not resist all the pretty colours and patterns. I have been a lot better with not adding to my stash lately and I have been trying to actually use them. For far too long they have been the one thing I have saved for the perfect layout. My other weakness lately is alpha stickers. Holy Cow, this is so me! I have a stupid amount of brads, mainly from MME, on those cards...they are so stinkin' cute and pretty and EXPENSIVE!  about this time last year, I don't know what came over me, but I was on a ridiculous MME kick. Maybe I found a place that had them on sale? Yeah, that's what I'm going with! Anyway, I have like 15 packs from that binge last year...and have yet to bust one open. Granted, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer, and passed away 5 months later, so everything was put on hold. Just in the last month or so have I gotten back into any crafting at all. Thickers? Yeah. Thanks for that, Glitter Girl.   |

It was when those icicle Christmas house lights first came out. ( I KNOW that "icicle is mis spelled, I can't make it look right! Sorry!) He was in a big box store, and saw several people hanging out near a huge empty bin. He asked what was going on, and someone told him they were expecting a shipment of icicle lights. About that time, the employee comes out with a cart of boxes. My brother had no idea what they were, but he said once he saw the frenzy of these people grabbing at the boxes, he thought, "well, hell, *I* need friggin' icicle lights, too!" So he bought about 4 boxes, not having a CLUE what they were! It was the first Christmas he ever had outdoor holiday decorations.  |

Honestly? No.
I've spent a lifetime of denying myself much of what I have wanted due to growing up in poverty. Luckily I married a man who believes that I should buy what I want (and what he wants), so what I have bought, I blame on him.

I may have purchased triples or quadruples of The Pier collection. And have yet to use any of it.
Where's that red-faced smiley?

I'm not sure I can include paper, even though some of my stash may not be in 'style'. My pictures don't care. After the brads and eyelets trend, I really try not to get too caught up in having to have the latest thing. I have enough eyelets and brads to last forever and don't want to try to find storage for something else that takes up more space! That being said, I will get some things to keep everything fresh. Plus it is a little bit of inspiration to use something new.

PL kits and the page protectors to go with the kits. When I got sick of PL, I ended up sending all to a friend.
