All their stamps, paper, scrabooking supplies, emblishments, etc were 50% off....I'd already spent my monthly $$$$ the week before at a SU workshop...but I was powerless over that great discount and spent $50.00 and got some Wonderful stamps and supplies....got that inkadinkadoo cupcake set I've admired...now my budget is blown and I have a SU scrapbooking workshop I'm signed up for this coming Friday....have to find a way, have to find a way!

Have to find a way to "RESIST" or "GET WHAT YOU WANT...Baby"....:mrgreen:
Not to worry, Viv! I've got you in mind! :mrgreen:
Here's the progress I made today. As you'll see in the slide show, I have an addiction not only to RUBBER, but also PAPER and probably RIBBON. And if I ever get my sewing area organized (it's not in the pictures yet), you'll see I have issues with FABRIC.
I really think I'm drawn to beautiful designs and color. Because all these things tend to draw me in.
Here's the slideshow.
I (*FOR ONCE*) feel good about the progress I made.
Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The
house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl
to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he
helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was
asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born.
The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom.
Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help
and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place . .. smack his *** again!'
If you don't laugh at this one there is no hope for you.
THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.
SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED.
THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. 'THAT WAS MY PAGER,' SHE SAID. I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM.
A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR.
WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, 'THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND.'
THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW -TECH. NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM.
SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END.
THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.
THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID.........WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT....I'M GETTING A FAX!!
There you have it ladies LOL

I was just reading in my classroom and we're talking about how kids act in certain situations and things they say (I'm going for social work) and I was trying to remember this joke. Cracked me up. So did the one you just posted, "getting a fax"..........very creative!!

Happy you enjoyed it. I try to lighten up the mood some days LOL

By the way...my addiction has gotten me into so much trouble.
I have three swaps due at the end of this month and a workshop on Sunday. Tonight and Tomorrow are going to EXTREMELY busy.
I'm loving it, because I'm having fun...these swaps always challenge and spark my creativity, but GEEZ...and I just looked at what was in store for me next month....yaaa-ou---za. 10 to do. It's a good thing I'm getting a little more organized, because it HAS to take me less time to find stuff or I won't finish in time!
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the rubber gods as we understood them.
Okay, so since I'm organizing my basement, I'm working on the step above.
How does everyone organize their unmounted stamps? I found some really nice acrylic lids at work that were marked "trash" - took them home to test - they are working pretty nicely. :p The only consideration I have now is trying to figure out how to "Index" the lids so that I can keep them organized - and see what the image is. So, I'm trying to figure out how to do that efficiently.

Anyway, everyone have a good Monday!
Are the lids small / thin enough to hole punch and three ring binder them?
I don't have enough UM / acrylics to take this step, but a GF of mine has her all sorted in large three ring binders, on overhead projector sheets and slid into transparent slip sleeve pockets. Books are sorted by stamp type, I think ( I went through one book to find Halloween and xmas, and another one for baby so I'm assuming that is her system ), and she seems to navigate them pretty well.
Are the lids small / thin enough to hole punch and three ring binder them?
No. They are too thick. But they do stack nicely. They fit well into each other. They are also sturdy enough to shelf like a book. I could probably use a labeler and label the trays (like I did my acrylic box frames). Hmmmm.
I've seen three ring binder systems. They seem to work pretty well for people (Posh Impressions as an entire line they sell like that).
So, after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many Retirees, I lasted less than a day......
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'
So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at
Wal-Mart.'
My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.

My name is Leslie and I have an addiction to clear stamps.
I'm so glad that there's a support group for people like myself- who can't take control over my illness. I go to the stores and I just can't stay away from the stamps. It's as if they're calling my name. I.....can't....stop...the addiction! I HAVE to use my stamps with everything!!! They're so pretty....
I have to admit something: I went JUST yesterday and looked at the clear AND rubber stamps. I know...it's horrible, but I can't stay away from them!!!! :twisted:
