I fall into the "everything" category, but especially Christmas. I'm a sucker for all the new stuff!

I keep putting hundreds of $$ of stamps in various carts and then removing them. I don't need them, I don't need them, I don't them.  I'm so glad I'm not alone in this affliction! If I *used* the stamps, I wouldn't mind, but I buy stuff just because it's pretty! Stamps and dies I add to carts and remove... paper is my addiction and weakness because it's "cheap". |

I’m everything as well, but the thread title made me think of a particular kind of stamp. I am not really in love with colouring, but I own a lot of stamps that need to be coloured in. They are so cute and thematically appropriate for my cards.

I would say stamps for sure. My problem is that I keep adding more crafts! Scrapbooking, weaving, embroidery, sewing, art journaling....I can't stop.

I have major Stampitis!!! I cannot stop buying them either. Now I'm addicted to getting all the stamps with matching dies. Last week I got a bunch from scrapbook.com yesterday I placed an order at Your next stamp bec of their sale. Today I got all the Ali Edwards ones on sale. Oh wait I also got a bunch the other day during the Studio Calico sale. I just got my Kelly Purkey ones from the sale this week. Yes I have issues big ones. I am about to check out from Simon Says Stamp I NEED HELP!! I am addicted to stamps so I feel your pain. Are you my long lost twin? =)

I thought I had bought all of the older Heartfelt Creations stamps and matching dies I wanted, but then they announced the ones they are discontinuing, and suddenly I realized that there were more that I "needed" to buy while they were still available.
Because I have a Scan n Cut 2, I should not be buying more dies, either, but sometimes matching dies are just fast and easy.
It really is an addiction. I was doing great on my "No spend" August. I totally blew it today, all at that one site.

It's a sickness. I missed another sale? Darn I just had a sinking feeling in my gut I esp love Ellen Hutson! I guess money saved but of course I gotta go research how big the sale was and what I could have purchased...ok I have issues but at least I have a place to be open about it 😂 I love you all 🥂 |

Oh dear. Went to the craft store yesterday to pick up a bottle of nuvo drops I'd ordered and also came away with TH distress blending brushes and some texture paste to use with my new stencils. No more craft shopping this month. I have some things I want to do in the garden and must stay strong!

I had a ton of stamps 100s & 100s.....I loved every single par of stamping for many yeasrs but after we moved...I did not enjoy it anymore so I got rid of all of my stamps. I only have a few drawers of abcs, blocks, kids stupid me did not realize that I could scan them into my cameo....they will resize in exact dimension.

Everything is my weakness. I have slowed way down in my scrappy buying, but I still place an order about every 4-6 weeks. I am waiting for an order from ACOT to ship from last month that had pre-orders, but I already have another cart started, just waiting a bit to complete the order.
I would like to get to a point where I'm using more than I'm buying. I'm getting better, but not there yet. It wouldn't be so bad if I could get myself to scrap at home or make cards on a more regular basis. Right now I only scrap 3 times/year when I go to weekend retreats and I make cards on the fly as I need them. I really wish I could get myself to a point where I could do a little something every week, but my work schedule sucks up too much of my time and then I get lazy when I do have a little time to do something. I think my room also depletes my creativity.
Confession - sometimes I don't get to making cards I need & end up buying cards.

Paper, ephemera, chip board, mixed media (of all sorts...), notebooks with good quality paper....pretty much everything.

I swore I wouldn’t, but I keep buying more. I've been trying to get a better balance between buying and using and I can see the balance is shifting but my weakness is shopping to make the international shipping worth it.
