The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.

It's a Tuesday, and my house is a mess.
I actually got up at a decent hour today (8:00) because I wanted to look at what was featured on HSN. I am laying in wait to buy the new Cricut Impression - although I already have the semi-new Cricut Expression. That's my problem - I'm an impulse buyer. It didn't used to be a problem, because I was working, but now I'm not, and my spending has not cut back. It's an addiction for me, and I hope by this blogging I can analyze why I do it. I buy crafty things, mostly, and I do use them - a lot. But it's stuff I don't really need, or else I already have something similar. It's just that the new item is NEW AND BETTER. At least that's how I rationalize my purchases. I don't buy shoes, clothes, or handbags. I buy hobby and crafting things, mainly for scrapbooking. It's depressing, but fun, at the same time. I used to get the same kind of kick out of sniping bids on e-Bay at the last minute, but now I just "Buy It Now". Sort of takes the challenge out of e-Bay that way, doesn't it? We'll see what I decide to do as the day goes on.
