My SPENDING habits are all YOUR fault...

[pattyT]

Thats right...

My cousin brought it to my attention this morning...
when I started being a SAHM I was really good at not spending a lot of $. Then when planning my trip to dis in 2002 JENNY2 introduced me to the dis, then when I got back and it was time to scrap I made my way to this end of the boards...
THOUSANDS of dollars later I can say IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
I probably would not have known what sizzix really was,
I know I never would have found 2peas on my own...
dang I didn't even know what lss was!
I know there are a lot of you that contibuted to my current spiral of spending but those of you who are the WORST offenders of leading me to every sale and new deal you KNOW who you ARE!

 

[piratesmate]

I agree totally! BTDT!

 

[nicurn]

oooh, oooooh, it was me! I'm sure I could find you some more sales too. (of course since I'm not shopping at the moment.... I can live vicariously through y'all. ) maggie

 

[pattyT]

uuummmm Maggie - you haven't even made it 14 hours yet....

 

[Spinning]

Yep it was Maggie all the way!

 

[nicki dahling]

I use to never step foot in Target. Then I met Maggie. Well now I have to put my heels in the ground to keep from following her to Target after she post a new find. And PattyT , you don't get off to easily either. I have been known to check out sales links you provide. And Sondra we won't even start on those darn eyelets. ( lol ). Sounds like we all enable each other.

LOL... oh sure pattyt ... I rarely visit this board and the one day I do I find a post from you pointing fingers... that's the sign of a TRUE addict:

BLAME EVERYONE ELSE!!

Ladies, she's been trying for years to get me hooked on scrapping. I've resisted this long. But I'm not sure for how much longer...

 

[Cruise04]

ROFL - BUT, it's PattyT's huge supply of papers that has made me envious and now I go searching for paper to purchase online. How sad is that!!!! ROFL

 

[TinkerKat]

Ok, I attributed to the "sales finders r Us" But it all started here for me as well.
You gals are a neverending source of links, info, sales, creative ideas! Just when I got it under control someone posts a "Must scrap lift idea" which in turns requires a trip to LSS to get those "embellishments and papers JUST right!
Good thing all is quiet at AC Moore and Michael's this week!
Which begsthe question.... what other "Obsession" to you have? For me it's got to be all things Disney!

[pattyT]

Jenny2 will come to the Dark side
unless cm gets her first - lol

But seriously - Cruise04 I get most of my paper at www.rockymountainhobby.com

oooh, oooooh, it was me! I'm sure I could find you some more sales too. (of course since I'm not shopping at the moment.... I can live vicariously through y'all. ) maggie

Maggie, I'm glad you admitted it because you were the first person I thought of when I read Patty's initial comments ! Of course, I am on my way to Michael's in a little while to check out the 12"x12" paper sale that I read on here yesterday!

 

[crazyforpooh]

Is all I can say.

I love my shopping sprees (and I never pay full price for a thing mind you) and will miss them now that they have all come to an end for the next decade (child going onto college) atleast. But, wouldn't you know it last night I ran out of the roll of tape that goes in the X. Can I be good and just go get the refill? Probably not but now that I've taken the last one out of my stash I must replace it!!!!

 

[beansmom]

OH, yeah??? I blame it all on the manufacturers. If they didn't make such darn cute stuff, I wouldn't have to have it!! Who knew that Jolee would make a Red Sox uniform set?????

 

[ILUVPOOH1]

I have to say I had a Target obsession before Maggie, but she makes it so much better!!

I always blame you guys when my DH says I spend too much!!

Seriously, I love when I can combine my 3 obsessions in one board....
Disney
Scrapping
Shopping

 

[nicurn]

awe, shucks glad I can help out the target obsessed people. maggie

 

[piratesmate]

I....must....not....add....Target.....to....my....list....of....places....to....shop!

So far I've avaoided its lure, but you ladies are making it very difficult! :sade2: Would you believe that I've never even been inside a Target?!? I have a feeling, though, that is about to change.

 

[nicurn]

(gasp) you've never (NEVER?) been in target? you MUST go, especially with all the very cute stuff in the $ spot right now! what are you waiting for? RUN, RUN, RUN to the nearest target! Maggie

 

[piratesmate]

Nope. Never, ever!

RUN, RUN, RUN to the nearest target!

Well, that's part of the problem. The one I knew about isn't close to me....however, I just found out (talking to DS on IM) that there's one in the next parking lot over from the Mike's I usually go to! I wonder how I missed that??

Now if only I had the car!

 

[sweet maxine]

It's hard for me to hear about Target goodies too. I live 2 hours away, and so I have to have a reason or just the opportunity to get out of town to where all these stores are located. A brand new super Target just opened up in Jackson, and maybe this weekend I'll get the chance to go by there.

My daughter and I usually spend most of our time in Target just wandering around looking and picking up everything---"Isn't that too cute!"---I bet they think "Well, I guess they let everyone out of the boonies today!".

 

[DooDahDay]

I'm sitting here waiting for my SIL to pick me up to go to big lots.Now I'm thinking well there's a target right next to big lots and a AC moore just down the road,I agree with the OP this is all your fault.
