As I was simultaneously finishing up my Supernatural Con album and my mom's last page of the birthday album, this evening, using new supplies I had just purchased, I realized that I've been to 4 craft stores since Friday night. I do believe I might have a problem. A few weeks ago I was blathering on about downsizing and using up the supplies I have, but this weekend I've apparently forgotten all about that mantra.
I'm sure - at least I hope it is - it's the same with other crafters. The pretty of all the paper, and stamps, and albums, and embellishments is just too much for us. Once we see it, we begin to imagine some lavish project for using it, which usually leads to the need for more supplies. It's sort a cyclical process, you see. In fact that was most definitely the case this weekend. I went to Hobby Lobby looking for an album. They didn't have the one I wanted, but what they did have was page protectors for another sized album I was working on for a good price, so I bought them. They also had super cute knee-highs for Halloween which I had forgotten I needed, so I bought them too.
Then we went to Michael's to find the original album, but they didn't have it either. But they did have stickers on sale, so I bought them. Then, it was a trip to a different Michael's on Saturday for the album as well - this time I stood my ground. Actually, they didn't have the album but they had a super long line, so I didn't let my desires get the best of me. Today it was AC Moore where they had the album - woohoo! But since I finally got the album, I needed paper for it, and additional paper protectors. Oh and alphabet stickers since they were on sale, and a scarf that I've been looking for for Halloween.
See? It's a slippery slope...
