Do you SUFFER from OFSNTBSS??

[TinkerKat]

I call it the "Out of Site Need To Buy Scrap Syndrome"? (actually it works for housewares too)

After viewing Patty T's scraproom, I realized that we all must suffer from it. I was perusing her pictures thinking, hey I have that (somewhere). I remember ordering that and hiding it from DH now where or where did I put it? And really, how many tape deipensers do we NEED when most of them are now "refillable".
I do not yet "Own" a scrap territory so to speak. It's all mix moshed around the house. However, I suppose if it were all together, it would be a nice size inventory. Since it's not, I tend to NEED to buy that which I might need cause what I own is "out of site"
Plenty to keep me scrapping for the next three years! But this Syndrome is infectious. It's passed on by Disboard enablers, posting favorite sites, layouts, "shouting out a sale"

Really as I sit here writing this is dawns on me that today is the last day to use 50% AC Moore coupons! Perhaps a trip to Michaels & AC Moore is in order! Well I haven't excercised today so I guess... walking the aisles in search of.... burns some calories.

aaaaah I use to have that when I lived out of cropper hoppers, paper takers and other hidden spots (those are the days Jenn remembers!) I now however have 'come out of the closet' with my scrap crap and now I use MORE of it! My FAVORITE thing is that hardware department at Walmart thing on my desk cuz the lumpy stuff is all right there - no more hunting, digging, now where did I pit that!
(although I have yet to find the softball transparency I bought in April and I really wanna get those pages done!)

I love tool section storage!
I actually told DH at one point I wanted to use all 'tool boxes like his' on my new scrap room:
ya know the craftsman ones from Sears

Yep I know what your talking about. I don't "Own" any space either. I have a little bit here and a little bit there. I keep saying that I need pull it all together. Maybe after my 3-day walk in October. Right now the training is consuming allot of my time. But I will really want to scrap that event for sure.

oh patty! please dont get us all buying those!! they could be expensive!! last forever. . . but expensive!!

 

[pattyT]

another advantage of being married to a general contractor - it would be a BIG write off!

I haven't decided if I wan tto go with the industrial look though!
(don't think it will match all the Micky Mouse stuff that came in the mail yesturday I almost slipped and told DH about the BIG boxes in the front hall.... need to hide....

Softball transparency? Where? Who? I need one! Help!


OK, back from the thread hijacking, lol! I hate when I know (or I think) I have something and I can't find it!

I just redid my sewing room (translates to pitched out all the junk in there, repainted, and organized) into a sewing/scrapping room.

One of the things I found in my pantry were some old canning jars. I cleaned them and put them in the room, however the jars are still empty. What do you have in your jars. I saw one had ribbon, but what's in the other jars? Can you tell I want to fill up all my storage space?

 

[pattyT]

I have all my MM alpha rub ons in one and then another with sizzix tags that I randomly puch from scraps of paper in various sizes - then when I need a tag for something I can grab one.

I got mine at KMart. Its a little different in shape but basically the same and it was under $20. They have them at Home Depot too. I am looking for a second one with more of the larger size drawers. But cant find one with the right configuration of small/big compartments

Hi from Ontario Canada. I too love buying anything scrapbook and any type of storage containers. I found two large jars laying around my house. My sister is a flower designer and she gave me a huge bag of left over variety of silk flowers. I took them all apart and put them in the jars. Just a little start to my spare/scrapbooking room.
