Debra, I don't think it's either funny or pathetic. When my son was killed a few years ago, it was stamping that brought my creative side back to life...therefore ditching the therapy idea altogether!!!!!
What is funny and pathetic is that I was reading and posting to this thread yesterday....when all of a sudden....like every other day....at the same time....out of the clear blue....like clockwork.....to my surprise.....my husband walked in, sat down expecting dinner.....he waited....and waited.....and finally said "I guess I'll take a shower first....(as opposed to dinner first).....he had to leave for an hour ride to a meeting for church by 6:00pm, praying to himself no doubt that nourishment would be good for him! (isn't he supposed to pray AND fast?)....Well to cut to the chase...he had the nerve to take his shower come back and sit next to me and wait.....although, I do have to say, patiently in an impatient sort of way.....now mind you, I was hysterical, laughing at this thread while he was soberly serious, sitting starring at me!!!! Oh my goodness, what was I supposed to do, when he broke into MY laughter, with "I'll fix dinner if you want me to hun"!!!!....Oh brother, his patience must have been expired and he was going to try the old "let's lay a guilt trip on her trick"....Well ladies, what was I supposed to do? Crack under pressure? No not me!!! I had the perfect solution!!! I said "listen to this!!!" and I read the first 5 pages of this thread.... as I laughed hysterically, barely being able to read aloud.....he finally broke down...into shear hysteria...laughing.....both at this thread and me triyng my best to read aloud....and before you knew it.... he forgot to rush, to be serious, to be hungry....and I got to hand the man a $5. bill and send him off laughing to the dollar menu at some unknown destination on the way to church....he came back home at 10:00 and curled up next to me in bed and said, "oh, by the way, that was funny!" What a guy!
So Debra, I'm not pickin' on you, but there is a moral
here....somewhere.......
Death is sad....stamping is good....SCS is great....$1.00 menus are bad but convienant.... husbands come good and bad..... patience is a gift from God.....therapy might still be needed, I'm still pondering that one!
AND......
Pajamas are a choice!!!! :lol:
I seriously love all of you here, you are my therapy!

I agree with all of this except the dollar menu part. Dollar menus are good, exept if it's every night...so on the off nights, go for the $2 menu! :shock:
If I don't stop laughing I'm gonna need a trip to the emergency room for cramps in my stomach muscles. Please stop....no...don't stop...stop...no...
You have a rider on your insurance for your stamp stuff
Okay...how is this for an addiction: Not *only* do I have the rider on the insurance for my stamping/scrapping stuff, but it is *twice* the amount for my sump pump failure!!! ~ K

You run out to M... or J... at the last minute Saturday night cause you have a 40% off coupon that expires and you just have to use it for something!! You can't just throw that coupon away, you know - there's gotta be something you can't live without... :lol:
happy stampin'

This is a great thread! I have not posted here before. I usually just look at the gallery, but after reading this thread I think i will have to check out the chatting more often!!!
Here is my contribution....
......your kids all go for a sleep over and you want your husband to go out and do something by himself so you can have quiet time to stamp!
..........you would rather have stamping stuff then diamonds for your anniversary.
..........You convince your mom to start stamping so that you can use her stuff too!
You know all your Christmas/B-Day presents because you had to order them.
Hubby is peeved at me on this one :oops: I am going to have to teach him how to put in an order and suprise me. I will not check before it arrives, I will not check before it arrives, I will not check before it arrives, I will not check before it arrives, I will not check before it arrives.

Hmmm...I smell the start of an addiction! Well, scrapbrat, just hang on tight! It's a long, slippery slope....! I've only been doing this for two weeks or so, and already have 60+ posts! That and a dirty house and overflowing laundry baskets............. :lol:
You buy the Sunday paper JUST for the M... and J.... coupons.
When you know your UPS man's name and/or can spot him driving elsewhere around town. "Look kids, there's our UPS man!" YIKES!
Your DH ends up having to sleep on the couch because you're cutting stamps in the bedroom while watching your fav TV show.
You have fallen asleep on your catalog or latest stamp mag while reading before bed only to wake up with pages stuck to your face. (I almost ripped a page from my catty this way - Horrors!)
You have to get a cell phone because no one can reach you on your regular phone line anymore - you're always surfing SCS!
This has been the funniest thread to read. I love all of the post and can TOTALLY relate to most of these.
You know you are addicted when...
* you kids know all of the colors and name things by those colors
* you know EXACTLY what stamps your family members have and make them buy, so you can borrow them
* oh so many more, can't think of them!
...when I found myself saving the grosgrain ribbon tied around the linen napkins from the wedding banquet I waited on this weekend. This was on their way back to the kitchen to go in the trash, mind you, not BEFORE the guests came! It was the best shade of Perfect Plum... :oops:
...when your 5 year old calls the UPS man "The Stamping Man", and your 12 year old buys a UPS racing hat, not because he is into NASCAR, but because it is a "Stamping Man" hat!!
Fesha88, you're talking about me, right?!? But I can't help it, I learn so much from you guys!
-Heidi :0)
Heidi,
I'm ROFLMBO! :lol: I was just thinking of our conversation on the phone today...how many times did either one of us start a sentence with.."Did you see on SplitCoast?"
You wake up in the morning with rubber stuck to your skin....this actually happened to me this morning. I was mounting stamps last night while watching American Idol and when I woke up this morning I felt something on my chest.....it was a piece of rubber from one of the stamps....LOL!
Okay, you are all making me laugh but this one just made me laugh so loud my DH yelled down the stairs "What are you doing??"
"Oh nothing", I say. "Well you could come upstairs and help me make supper!" he says.
"I'll be there in a minute!"
And I can hear him mutter "yeah right". He knows me too well. I really should go and help make dinner!
You know you're addicted when you go to make the bed in the morning and instead of finding cracker crumbs, there are little tiny scraps of rubber. (Couldn't figure out how they got there at first!)

This thread is so funny that I felt compelled to submit my very first post (i've been lurking here for awhile now):
You know you are addicted when... you tell DH that the UPS box that just came is a shipment for a customer (someone you work with? someone from the PTA? Someone from Church? Someone you met at the grocery store? Quick, think of others!) but it is really more stuff for you! :oops:
I've never done this, but people in my upline and sideline do it ALLLL the time.... :lol:
"when you get out of the shower and can't remember if you shampooed your hair or washed your girlie parts because you were plotting a layout in your head"
when I laugh out loud when you're in a room BY MYSELF!!! roflmbo
Leanne www.leanne.stampinup.net
When -
You schedule your doctor appts around the days that the UPS guy comes
You get water spots on your stamp catalog/magazine cause you were reading it in the tub
You quit your day job cause it conflicts with stamping (thanks DH for supporting me!)
You start every sentence with your old work friends (who craft) with 'I saw on scs'
Just saw that winniethepoodle has said what I have said. Well how about asking your demo for a new catalogue as yours is sooo worn out and full of postit's. (must be why I almost order the same set twice) That's the excuse that I'm sticking with!

Of course that was a friend of mine that did that... not me!
*as I wipe the remnants of chicken parm away...*
Better yet, since you don't have time to cook, you just empty the crumbs into a rubbermaid container so you can stamp on the can....Yeah, I'll cook something with those later....yeah, that's it....
...when your 12-year old daughter comes downstairs at 10:30 pm and says, "come on, Mom, it's time to go to bed" and minimizes your SCS screen before you have a chance to protest!
...when your 6 yr. old DD empties the gravel (from recess at school) from her shoes on your stamp table, because she knows you like it for the crab shaker cards.
~Kelly~
You and DH decide to put an addition on the house and you make sure there's one part of it that he can get excited about...just to make sure that you get to have your very own craft area!!
and ask the demonstrator as you write the check, "When are we going to order again?"
I REALLY resemble this remark--(I asked her today)
ABOUT THE UPS GUY...
You know your addicted and everyone else knows you are too, when you see your ups guy at a neighborhood store, and he says, hey I think I have something for you...do you want it in your car here or just deliver it later to your house? OMG!!!
you know your addicted to stamping when your figuring out how many baskets you will need to sell to get the stamps you NEED this month, and arranging your basket shows around stamping shows/stamp camps!!!
