How many products have you been influenced and purchased after reading about what others have bought and have given good reviews in this chat room or YouTube channels ie Jennifer McGuire etc I have countless products. My bank account says not to come here and stay off YouTube. My goodness most of my scrappy goodies are bought because of this.

It's not my fault! It's all those enablers.

Almost everything I’ve bought is because someone recommended it or I’ve watched something on YouTube and decided I needed everything in the video! I have absolutely zero self control!!

Oh I'm far more easily swayed these days by the recommendations of the peas than I ever have been. I think part of it is having more disposable income, and part of it is because this is a group who are not afraid to tell it like it is, so if something gets a good review then I can be confident in the purchase.

The Peas, stuff used in cute projects on Pinterest, cute projects in blog posts that come across my email.

Since there aren’t any more scrap magazines I have to rely on videos and online reviews to interduce me to new products. I have the Peas to thank for posting new releases from companies I’m not familiar with and discussing new products that picque my interest. Oh, and yes, Jennifer McGuire.

Well, I'm seriously considering a Freckled Fawn subscription, using texture paste and stencils and I'm pretty sure I first started using mists after seeing Mercy Tiara use them on YouTube... so yes. I have not seen anyone use a Minc, that melty plastic thing, a stamp press, or distress oxides so it's no wonder I'm not interested

I buy a lot of products, but, for the most part, they are products that fit into my own style and the topics I want to scrap and the cards I want to make. Now, I also like scrappy adventures, so if I see a demo of a fun tool or medium I will order it. Of course the results are never quite what they are cracked up to be, but I guess I got the fun of trying something new.
If I see something I think I will use here, or on a manufacturer's blog, or a product demo, I go looking for it. Or a trip to the LSS usually means coming away with way more than I went in there specifically to get.
I don't have a lot of will power, but I can't blame enablers for that: I take full responsibility. I just like STUFF!

Videos are my weakness. I have to be really careful what I watch. The other day I figured I could watch a video about stitched rectangle dies because I already knew I wanted those, but by the end of the video I wanted a bunch more other things as well. Sigh...

It is hard to sway me but Instagram is my downfall. I do come over here before I purchase anything to make sure there is no scandal associated with said item I am going to buy, lol. Instagram is definitely where most of my purchases are coming from nowadays.

I am far more likely to buy something recommended by the Peas than by the scrap stars like Jennifer McGuire.
I trust the former because I can hear from more than one person and the majority of them are not being paid or given free stuff to talk about their raves.
Also, they will talk about stuff they don't like - unlike the "sponsored" people who only review stuff that they liked but stay mum about stuff they didn't.

I've been scrapping a long time, I think I've found my "style". I put that in quotes because it's pretty basic. I don't care to watch youtube. I'm more of a pinterest person because I generally just need a visual and not a 20 minute tutorial. I'm not easily swayed, but I'll buy if I can see myself using the product.
I have bought carta bella paper and most recently cheap dies from China (on Amazon). I want to buy Nuvo drops.

Since returning to paper from an 8 year break I have scoured this board for recommendations. I'm not one for trendy and I have a pretty simple style. But I have enjoyed reading other people's reviews. I knew what die cut machine I wanted because of pea reviews. I love that you guys tell it like it is.

I have to admit I'm heavily influenced by videos. I try to temper this by making myself research the products before I make a decision to buy - I look at Splitcoast and here first to see if anyone has any experience with the products first.
However, watching videos really inspires and motivates me - I'm really into watercolouring now because I'm seeing so many videos with it. It's so much fun to be slightly obsessed with a new product and technique.

In the "enabling" mode - I have really used my rectangle stitched dies. I made up a bunch of journaling spots. I have no regrets about that purchase!

Pinterest... let's just say it can get pricy trying to track down some of the old product lines used in ideas I have pinned.

My husband thinks I've lost my mind because I'm always watching the "haul videos" of what other people purchase as far as scrapbook supplies and products...... and yes, I have the major long list which I've compiled of "NEED" items, lol!
