Look...I admit to being OCD. Not the good kind where my house is always clean, but the one that tends to COST me money! That being said, I don't regret ONE RED CENT that I've spent with SNS. I've been 'collecting' since August. I have another 5 pieces on the way, which will pretty much finish my craft room off by January. At first, my sister (the one who introduced me to this insanity..I mean, 'hobby')didn't understand why I was spending money on storage instead of stamps. I explained it to her like this: I wasted over half my creative time trying to find stuff. 90% of the time, I would get distracted and end up forgetting about what I was working on, etc. I also found myself buying duplicates of embossing power, embellishments...even STAMPS...because everything was so scattered! When I bit the bullet and purchased my first products from SNS, I saw a difference IMMEDIATELY. It saves me time and money and it frees me up to think creatively and not interrupt the flow because I can't find the right &*%& ink!!! Btw...want to guess where my sister stamps now????? You got it!! Right here!

love your space, I wish you were my sister, you could then come and get my craft room (mess) sorted. My trouble is, I procrastinate too much, lol. TFS.

You sweetheart!! I AM your sister!! In spirit, maybe, but still a sister!! And I will help in ANY way I can!
Talk to SNS...I wasn't sure what I wanted until I talked to them, mostly via email, and they walked me through it. You don't need me to help! You need me to say, "STOP putting it off!" and "Your artist within NEEDS this!", along with "My birthday's in April and I'll be sure to remind you of our new familial link closer to that time" and perhaps "I like cash!".
Whew! Supporting people is hard. I need a nap. No, a drink. Wait...a drink THEN a nap. That's it! Ciao!! ;)

As I read your narrative I thought....... this woman is ME!! I resemble all of those remarks!!! I started smiling, then laughing and I know I'm not alone in this world. I'm TRYING to get my craft room reorganized for the Millionth time so I can create instead of look for stuff....... I have so many duplicates because I can't remember if I have them or not.
Will you adopt me so I can stamp at your house ???!!!

Diva...you and I ARE the same! I promise you that I am as much, if not more, a DIVA than most everyone on SCS. Case in point...did I name my blog 'Card Designing Diva'? H-E-Double Hockey Sticks NO, I didn't! I named it 'Papercraft Freakin' Goddess'! Ok...so I dropped 'Freakin', only due to my desire to earn a couple of pennies in ad revenue overriding any free speech issues I may have wanted to argue with google.
As to adoption...I have invited numerous people to my home to live and/or to stamp- even as far away as Australia!
(Note: Those Australia people NEVER take me up on it, for some reason! I think it's because I continue to insist Australia be spelled Aus-TRAIL-ia because that's how it sounds and we here in the US are all about telling other countries what to do, so they may just as well accept that a spelling change is coming. Other than that, I have no idea why they just don't take a weekend here with me in beautiful North Carolina...do you think they just think they're better than us????)
(Note #2-For those who read the above paragraph several times and couldn't figure out if I was joking or not, I can promise you that I am absolutely NOT the problem here. Thank you. You may go back to your regularly scheduled programming)
Anyway...do the following things in order: Call SNS and let them help figure out what you need and where to start. Next, drive to NC and hang out with me for a week. I would come to Ohio-and could list many, logical reasons why I can't-but the truth is that I don't like to drive, or leave my house or do anything that entails much more than sitting here on my fat a**.
Ahhhhh. The truth really DOES feel good! Mwaaah!
