Yes, I Am A Scrap Addict!

Are you seduced by the texture of card stock?  Does the sight of a new tape roller get your blood pumping?  Do you hide your craft store receipts?  If you answered YES to any of these questions then join the club girl - you are a scrap addict!!!!!

I can freely admit here and now that I do indeed suffer from scrap-itis.  This affliction turns seemingly sane women into ravenous,  insatiable crafters who cannot control their need for more and more supplies.

Over the years I have accumulated an almost embarrassing amount of crafting supplies.  I just cannot seem to get enough.  There is always something new being released or something I just don't have that I just can't live without.  I am fortunate to be married to a man who knows I have this problem and yet he still loves and accepts me.  He may not understand my explanations for all my purchases but he doesn't stand in my way - mostly out of fear of what I could be capable of should he get between me and that new punch.

I suppose there are worse things I could be obsessive about and much worse things I could invest my money in so for those reasons I have learned to live with my addiction.  I honour it and give it its proper due.  Being a scrap-addict is something I now fully embrace and refuse to be ashamed of.  It makes me happy and feeds my soul.  

So do not fret friends if you find yourself in a long checkout line with your arms full and your mouth foaming with excitement - for you have just joined a prestigious group of fellow crafters.

Hope you find inspiration and time for creation every single day!!!
Until next time.............
