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? What pack of Thickers is this? Perhaps one of us might have it and can send you and A. You could also pick out all of A's in the title and use another color or change one of the A's into something that goes with your layout. |

I have too many supplies. this is me, too... and my scrapbook room is a disaster and I can't make myself get in there to clean it up!! I keep getting sucked into watching Game of Thrones (I'm on Season 3) That's definitely a first world problem x 3: too many supplies, a scrapbook room to store them all in, and *free* time to watch cable television instead-- lol! |

You are singing my song! This pic is the paper and supplies I took out of my dining room over the past two days. Not even 1/8 of my stash. It is not organized - it is just shoved into cases and laying on my bedroom floor. But I have a dining room again! All my paper is in Iris cases. When I had a small stash that was fine but now fuggedaboutit! I am a kitchen table scrapbooker so my FWP is when my family wants to eat at the table and I have to clear off my scrapbook stuff!  I actually set up a little table in my bedroom for scrapbooking but I just prefer the kitchen table. I am a late night scrapbooker so it works out okay for me. Also we have a nook in the kitchen to eat breakfast at so I can leave my stuff out on the kitchen table overnight if I don't feel like cleaning up right away. |

Just thought of another FWP - I sometimes get a back ache from hauling scrapbook supplies around.  I prefer people to think it was from hard work. I posted above I pack my paper in Iris cases and some of those puppies get heavy. LOL |

My FWP is just when I told myself to stop buying stamps a family member tells me she is selling her complete untouched stamping stash. If you can still count them, you don't have enough. Or so I was told years ago by someone who worked at a stamp store. I can no longer count mine. I can estimate the number based on how they are stored. That has not stopped me from buying new stamps. I am waiting for the mail carrier to bring me new ones today. If it were my family member selling her untouched stamping stash, I would at least have a look. I am, of course, a total enabler, encourager, and corrupter. |

After fretting about my Thicker problem for an evening I got over it and picked another pack for my layout. Thank you to those who offered to send me an "A"! This set isn't *perfect*, but it's close enough, and sometimes that is the best we can do! scrapnnana I don't count my stamp sets, either. I love them, I use them, and that's what matters to me! |

This thread reminded me of another scrappy FWP... Whenever someone brings up Iris cases, that song starts playing in my head. Every. Single. Time. (they don't even mention the name Iris at any point in the song!)

I have too many supplies. And on top of that, it is too easy to buy more. I just order a few more dies. Do I need them? Not really. Do I like them? Yes. Will I use them? Maybe... Save |

These are the ones I need! The ones I asked Nicole P what is the name of them!!! Ohhhh sending you waves of love across la mer! My pleasure!  *sends a shipload of scrappy love back across la mer* They're not a perfect match for your black ones but very close. I'm certain the black ones have a different name (Spellcast is Pink Paislee's 2017 Halloween line that was just released). Hoping nicolep can help you source those. Oh did I trigger you? heeheeee Hmmm...     |

I can't wait for her to email me pics of her stash. |

Aarghhh! I already complained about having no time and about this weekend full of obligations, not fun stuff.
Now I see that my ACOT order will be delivered today. I will be lucky to open the box by late Sunday. Oh, the horror...
A first world problem, for sure.

Mine would be my fear of buying and not using the product (paper, embellishments...)I over analyze every purchase.  I have quite the stash too. That and I'm cheap. I have to love paper to pay over $1.00 a sheet. |

When I buy scrapbook supplies, I have to wait until I visit the US to pick it up. That would be once a year. And since I only visit in the summer, I have loads of summer supplies because I usually start buying 4-6 weeks before my visit. I saw some Christmas, school, and Halloween lines coming out and I hope I can snag some before I head to the US next week |

Have you thought about ripping open the plastic bag, taking out the strip with the thickers ID and attaching it to your actual thickers sheet as soon as you start using the set? Only way I can manage to keep track of the names of thickers. I'm also a total "tosser".  |
