I found the perfect Thickers for my layout (perfect color, font, and size) but I am missing an "A" and can't write the title I want. Wahhhhh! What's your 1st World Scrapbook Problem?

Can you turn a V upside down and use a little piece of a Q or something to make the little cross piece?

What's your 1st World Scrapbook Problem? I'm running out of enamel dots, but on a freeze (other than the gift card I have to ACM, but I don't like their selection of enamel dots, so I don't buy them there), so I have to use sequins in their place. *pout* I want more enamel dots! *foot stomp*

I have too many supplies. I'm in the middle of a purge and re-organization and it's taking time away from actual scrapbooking. Definitely a first world problem.

The Thicker issue is why I use an electronic cutter. The Thickers are cool. I even bought a font I saw that Thickers had used, and I used to never buy fonts.
However, it's too easy to run out of a needed letter, or not have the right size if you are using Thickers or some other sticker letters.
My first world scrapbooking issue has to do with cutting the intricate dies. I found a solution, but I have to use my old Cuttlebug instead of my Big Kick.

I've been snipping off the prongs and using them in place of dots when I don't have the color I want/need.

I have to take two buses to get to my mother's house so I can stitch my layouts. Boo hoo, poor little me.

Every time I get near my art table my 3 year old declares it's "painting time" and then hogs most of the table mass producing paintings like some kind of tiny Picasso. I had to clear off a tiny table in the corner so I have room for at least a 12 by 12 piece of paper for me

You could thaw just a bit, lol. My problem-I read some organizing thread and I'm somewhere between frustration and organizing hell right now.

My daughter (age 8) keeps coming into my scrapbook room and wanting to make cards. Except that I have to make her birthday card because her birthday is next Wednesday. It seems like a lot of time but we are leaving on Saturday for a week at Disney - a surprise for her birthday. Oh! Woe is me! (And hubby's birthday is two days after hers so I need to get his card made too...poor me.)

I have too many supplies. I'm in the middle of a purge and re-organization and it's taking time away from actual scrapbooking. Definitely a first world problem. This is me. I took a week off work to clean all the scrap stuff out of my dining room. I bought SIX more large iris cases. My family is carrying one up the stairs everytime they go up and putting it in my bedroom. I am still not done just putting stuff into the bins and it's not even organized! Now that's a first world hoarder problem. nicolep - do you know the name of this font of Thickers? **Edited sleepingbooty told me the gold ones by PP are called Spellcast! Whoot! Are the black ones called the same thing? I can't find those but I ordered 2 pkg of gold ones.

I have too much stuff and my room is a mess. I also don't have the desire to clean it which has been my plans for the end of the month. I want it clean, but don't want to do the necessary work to get it there.

You, m'dear, need a cocktail and a pack of thickers... *shoos anniefb's boss away* myboysnme I read elsewhere you do a lot of historical-themed layouts and have been meaning to tell you to look at PP's Spellcast alpha thickers. They're gold, classic and rather elegant. Might work well for your needs.

I want it clean, but don't want to do the necessary work to get it there. I could have written this post myself! I know I need to tidy up and organise things, but I really just want to play with paper!

My FWP is that I have so much stuff I can't find anything in here...
AND I don't want to purge and I don't want to clean and I don't want to reorganize what I have. I just want to play with paper. Now if I could just FIND that paper I want to play with...
