You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
You see a beat up old shipping tag in a parking lot and you are very tempted to pick it up because you might use it some day.
Your husband has a 10 week business trip during the kids' break from school. Within 5 minutes of deciding to go visit him you google "Stamp stores Huntsville Al" and get excited because they even have classes at the store. You tell him you are going to take a class when you visit him.
You are cleaning up after your niece's wedding reception and suddenly you whole family starts handing you ribbon from the favors that guests have left and you realize you hoped many guests would leave that ribbon because it so perfectly matches SU's rose red.

You go to your BFF's DD's wedding this past August and you and another friend gather up all the little silver bride and groom decorations off the table to use later for a shaker card.
...When you talk about colors in terms of Stampin' Up, PTI, Gina K. etc. colors
...When you use said color schemes to decorate your house
...When you can turn any old piece of junk into something cute
When you take in pieces of cardstock to the hardware store to hold up against the paint color chips there. Just this week I painted my dining room walls lovely shades of River Rock and Soft Suede.
When you have a dozen expired toilet paper, tooth paste, canned soup, etc. coupons laying around your place, but can't find a single expired Michael's, Joanns, or Archiver's coupon.
You know you are a crafter when the FedEx and UPS delivery guys always ask what you are working on, what you are getting (all my supplies get delivered because I live in a remote area) and not only do you give them hand crafted Christmas cards/gift baskets but they give YOU cards at Christmas!
I have two - when your husband sees new equipment on the dining room table and knows better than to ask, what's that? He's better off not knowing - lol. and, when you go to Vegas on vacation and tell your husband the first thing we have to do is go to Viva Las Vegas stamps - which is awesome by the way. One more - when you finished a flip top box of candy and actually feel guilty throwing a cardboard box away. Still kicking myself in the pants for that one. Tempted to go find it in the garbage before it gets picked up tomorrow. What the #@$ was I thinking when I threw that away! Gotta go.....I'm going trash hunting. Now this is sick!!
Totaly did the Viva Las Vegas Stamps thing... he was a champ going there... lol
Hmmm...even though DS recently moved out on his own I still rented a TWO bedroom apartment....for all my stamping stuff. Yeah- there really isn't room for DS if he decides to come back. :oops:

LOL, been there, done that on the VLVstamps! DH was very well behaved (took in his book), and when Stampo's cat decided it wanted to get into my bag of stamps on the counter and knocked 'em all onto the floor, DH went behind the counter and found all the strays for us. (stamps, not cats)
You know you're a crafter when a family member asks you what you want for your birthday and you send them a link to a scrap site and tell them "anything at this place".
Been there, done this, actually I've given my dh my login on one site with my wishlist.
You know you're a crafter when the first gift you are given by your partner is a bunch of 12 x 12's with co-ordinating bazzil and some "awesome interesting things! Id love to see what you can do with them" (in his words) which turhed out to be dies lol.
Yes girls I think I have found a DEFINATE keeper ;) Oh should probably mention we had only been dating 3 weeks at that point
you are so addicted you have to take it (a craft project) with you to the hospital waiting room to keep yourself busy while you wait for someone else ... I'm already startin' to pack my bag/s (shameful, I know)
you are in an airport and you run into someone (stranger) with a Sizzix tote and you nod & the "ah", and they nod back - they know you are wishin' you had yours w/ you
Been there, done this, actually I've given my dh my login on one site with my wishlist.
My Christmas wishlist to my sister not only included links to stamps and other stamping items I wanted.I also included my ucutathome coupon for that month and told her exactly how to enter the code and what shipping to ask for...
Also I can't leave home unless I have a current, full range of stamp store coupons just in case I'm near an Archivers, Joanns, or Michaels...

You LOVE to buy new clothes, love to shop for new clothes, love new shoes....etc. but you plan for weeks what you are going to buy out of the new SU mini and you happily blow your "extra" spending $$$$ on stamping supplies~not clothes!
