My confession is I'm addicted to the FSOT board. I LOVE buying stamps! It's a sickness really. I buy them and then I don't use them. I tell myself as soon as I organize my scrap room I'll use these stamps - everyday I say I'll do it and every day I don't!! |

I absolutely cannot start a new project or lo until the one I am working on is finished. And I must clean up after each scrappy session. I refuse to leave a lo laying on my desk if I am not finished with it. It must go into an Iris box with all of the pieces and parts.

I absolutely do not allow food or beverage around my craft area. NONE. Not even my own. | |

I went three years without buying scrapping supplies.
I frequently adhere my photos upside down.
And I have trouble getting rid of old letter stickers because sometime, somewhere, somehow, I'm going to have use for all those Qs, Xs, and Zs. The day after I get rid of them all. So I rarely buy alphabet stickers (except the mini tile alphas) and use the same die cut alphas over and over again just so I can avoid all those spare letters. |

I love buying, but I don't have as much of an opportunity to actually scrap.
I love tools...I have really tried to curb my spending, but I haven't done too well lately. |

I might have close to as many scrapbook letter sticker collections as Lynn, except that it would be because I hold onto things for a really long time - so that's my confession. Letter stickers I might purge a little quicker than other things, but I've had some papers, die cuts, image stickers and other embellishments for more than 10 years now. |

I'm packing up my stash to renovate my house, and I am secretly excited by having only a small stash to choose from for a while, not having to wade through everything.
On the other hand, as I am packing, I am also buying, which is a little crazy. But those 2Peas boxes are so great for packing paper in  |

I'm a terrible photographer. But more than that, I absolutely hate taking photographs and refuse to carry anything other than my cell phone for a camera.
Also, I've spent at least $4000 on scrapbooking since May. And that's saying something since I'm a full-time university student making, what, $12,000 a year? | |

Too, have one completed album. It's my Journal your Christmas album from 2010.
My summer album from the same year, sits unfinished. Along with several others...
oh, my deepest secret?!
I still have the scraps from the very first pages I ever did, in the box from my very first scrapbook experience.

This one is awful. Prepare yourself! I'm terrible about putting my layouts into albums. I currently have two 3' stacks of them that need homes. Any helper volunteers?
I plan on watching a few series while I put them into albums. It's something I plan on improving in 2013. |

I also at least partially plan some of our outings with the idea that this would be something good to scrapbook. I even consider what we will be wearing for the photos. Even though I might have an ulterior motive, most of these outings turn out to be fun. |

ill get more scrapping done when my baby gets older
My baby is 21... so what's my excuse?
So, I guess my biggest confession is that I've probably completed 4 pages in the last 6 months.) I won't tell you how much I've spent, though! ) I'm ashamed, but I'm sure not alone!
I keep an emergency scrapbook tool kit in the trunk of my car.
Love it! | |

OK, I have a few:
ADDICTED to OA mini market letter stickers. When a new color came out I would buy 2 sheets...now I just buy 5-6 sheets right away because I know I will end of buying more. I have them on rings in my scrap space and had to split them onto two rings because the first one was getting too heavy.
If I don't have time to scrap, but want to...I sometimes just take a stack of my paper (I have it in drawers by manufacturer for the most part) and look through it. Just to touch it and remind myself what I have...makes me feel like I am giving myself a few minutes of creative time.
And sssh don't tell my husband this one (although I believe the jig is up), but I reached the 2nd tier of customer loyalty discount here at Twopeas in my 1st 6 months as a member. And I did not receive the promised phone call to congratulate me on this achievement. |
I am a project lifer. That's why I am taking so many pictures.....

I don't purge. At all. I still have papers from the late 90s. I even have some of those weird eyelash fibers, as well as shaped brads for things that do not even interest me. Surely I will use them someday, right? I actually end up turning a lot of the papers over and covering them completely with other papers and elements. | |

I cannot pass up a paper sale at Hobby Lobby and usually come home with more paper than I will ever use. I have been going through it and giving some of it to my mom. To ease the guilt I suppose. |

Sometimes the only reason I go to events is so I can scrapbook them afterwards. I even held a jubilee party this summer so I would have jubilee photos to scrapbook. Of course, I always have a good time once I'm there, but the motivation to go in the first place is the layout I want to make after.
I've been doing JYC/DD this month and find I am making far more effort to do christmassy things every day so I have something interesting to include.
I am actually tempted to try PL next year to see how much that motivates me to do more in the evenings |

My confession- I am afraid to use things up. The more I like something (paper, embellishment etc.) the less likely I am to use it. I have found myself picking my least favorite paper, sticker or die cut from a collection and using that one, but "saving" the others that I actually like better (and therefore NOT using the things I like best!)
I have also tried to convince myself that its "okay" to use my Copics, Distress Markers, Stickles, inks and paints, and that I don't have to "save" those too.
Stamps are great, since I don't feel like they can be used up. |

My confession is that I spend waaaaaaay more time on pinterest, 2peas, scrappy blogs than I do scrapping. And I have way more paper than I could ever use, while still buying more. I refuse to get rid of any paper, even little slivers, because someday I might want to do a lo of all paper slivers! Even the paper I hate stays, though I would never use it on a lo. Why do we do this? | |
