Nesties for me! I don't have as many as some of you, but I'm willing to catch up, LOL! And embossing folders...love 'em. Oh, and 6x6 and 8x8 paper pads. I can't seem to pass them by. Oh, who am I kidding? I love it all!!
Oh my gosh... Everything? I have way too much of about everything. I buy paper like it's going out of style, I have more stamps than should be legal, I have about 7 cutters, 10 pairs of scissors, 3 ATGs, let's not even talk about ribbon as that could occupy a room all by itself, rub ons, bling... I could go on for awhile, but I think you get the picture.
Anthing crafty that's on clearance- especially stamps and punches. What I can't seem to get enough of changes with my mood- sometimes its embellishments like rhinestones and pearls, sometimes its ribbon, ink, whatever has caught my attention at the time.
How many different kinds of Nestie sets are out there?? Do you have more than one of each set?
I haven't got a hot clue how many there are in total, but I have officially purchased my first duplicate set *sigh*
Someone also mentioned using coupons to buy them. Michaels up here in Canada doesn't even carry them, so coupon discounts are not an option. My LSS usually prices them around $32.99 and I find one that I just HAVE to have, I'll pay the price but I try to hold out for online sales. I never get more than 25% off though. But I keep buying and buying and buying and buying . . .

Paper and stamps. Oh, and cupcake liners. I can't possibly eat this many cupcakes.
Novell, I laughed out loud about the cupcake liners! Oh, if only I lived closer (I'm in CT), I'd be happy to give you an opportunity to use up some of them -- yum!
Stickers! I have collected stickers for almost 40 years. In the beginning i told everyone it was for the kids i babysat, then it was for the kids in the school where i was an aide, then when i had my own we did sticker books and projects. I never missed an op to get stickers and doled them out to the kids and their friends. Now with my sister's two we have sticker books and they make their own sticker albums and pages and if they find stickers when i am not there they keep them for my next visit. Now that i have started scrapping and card making i can say they are for me but everyone in the family can tell you they were all always mine that i shared. LOL
Stamps... My favourite thing to do is colour, so I am a sucker for stamps! Oh and colouring mediums...I just ordered a box of Derwent Coloursoft pencils to play with. *sigh*
Paper! I don't know why I love it so much. Every style, color, texture. I just can't resist buying paper packs. I can sit and look thru them like reading a book.
for now it's stamps! as a beginner I already have a crazy collection and have only used a few of them so far. When I see a deal I just buy it! My husband thinks I'm nuts. You never you know when you are going to need a certain type of stamp, that is my excuse. I just ordered the fiskars stamp wheel.. teehee!!
It changes for me all the time. Right now, it's storage containers to put all of my stuff in. One of these days, my craft room will look neat and organized. I just know it...I just need to get more storage containers!
Spellbinders, why?? a few month ago I went on a paper trip, design paper, how much do I need?? Evidently a lot because every time I go to make a card I never have the right paper!

Everything. I couldn't possibly use it all before I die. biggest weakness is stamps, punches, and embossing folders. Thank God SU came out with clear stamps. I am now buying empty cases to put wooden ones in. Have no choice. 2600 square feet of house is full of stamping stuff and 2 rental units. It's gotten so bad I will only go into AC Moores and Michaels if I have a 50% coupon and the last 2 weeks that AC has had them for a week I wouldn't go into them. Have now tried to limit myself to $25.00 a party ( I have been supporting 3 SU demonstators). The magic word here is "Tried" Oh well, I can't take it with me so I might as well have fun now. Granddaughter may get into it and I will leave everything to her, and promise my son to haunt him from the grave if he throws it out and if she is not interested, have him donate it to Scouts, retirement homes, nursing homes, abuse shelters, etc.

Fun thread! I am having a good chuckle at everyone's posts (and nodding my head in agreement with many of them!). My weakness is monster and alien stamps, Penny Black animal stamps - cats, dogs, mice, etc. (all the animals actually!), and teddy bear stamps - LOVE teddy bear stamps! I also "collect" ribbon and pearls/rhinestones.
I'm off to Michaels today to use my 50% coupon under the guise of returning something. I really do need to return something. I bought a huge bottle of Sobo glue last week and it's completely solid in the bottle. *unk*
I'm hoping to get another MS deep edge punch set.

Whew! After reading all of these entries, I don't think I have a total obsession with craft stuff. I TRY not to fall in love with every stamp I meet. (Oh have you seen the new zinna stamps from Flourishes? I'm weak in the knees, they are so cute!!!)
Like Sharilea, my addiction is eye shadows and lip glosses. The amount of designer paper and stamps I own, can't hold a candle to that collection!
After reading all these I feel more free to confess!
My absolute downfall is templates, stencils, and coloring mediums. I am bonkers for Crafter's Workshop and HOTP stencils and templates. I'm crazy about hand cutting templates, although I have a Big Shot and use that a lot too. I justified buying all these so often (telling myself they're easy to store and have so many uses) that I may have to move out to make room for them. I used to be insane about patterned paper until I started making a lot of my own with these tools and stamps. I have a lot of everything but these three are my biggest weakness.
For me it's Nesties. I seriously need a 12 step program. Too many is never enough. I counted them last night and there are 67 sets! REALLY? Does anyone need that many?! Please, someone tell me you have more than me so I can bring my husband to the computer and say "See?! I'm not the only one! She's worse! AND she sneaks them into the house!" LOL My husband thinks I'm nuts.
I've been in a crafting slump, and that's always a dangerous thing. I shop (collect) when that happens.
So, for you, what is the one thing that you just can't stop spending money on?
Wow 67! I am impressed. I think I have five sets, lol. My weaknesses are glitter. Glitter glue, loose glitter, glitter paper. I love it all. Second weakness bling! I love rhinestones. I must have them in all colors, shapes and styles. I have no idea why I need them in all the colors since I like to color them too. I swear I was a magpie in my bird life, lol. I love all shiny things.
Last but not least I have a scissor obsession. I absolutely adore them. I have every type of scissor you can probably think of. I have deco scissors, fine tip scissors, surgical scissors, tin snips, fringe scissors. That is 1/3 of the examples I have.
