Giving blogging another try

I can't seem to get motivated enough to keep up with this blogging business. However, I suffer from horrible blog envy. I see some of the amazing blogs out there of some super talented crafting ladies and I wish I could keep a blog of my own. I wish I could updated with my creations on a regular basis and other crafty updates but alas, I do not! Mostly because I can't seem to keep up with my crafting. Can't find the time for IT so how could I find the time or material to keep up with this?

But here I try again...

Today Iris, my sister, and I will be going to a garage sale hosted by one of our LSS. I'm looking forward to it! I always seem to do very well at these events, bringing home loads of goodies. If I haven't seen it before, then it's new to me! There are tons of SBing supplies that I haven't been exposed to due to my newness to the craft and that is why I usually walk away from garage sales with arm loads of stuff.

I'm doubly excited because Iris is coming with. I've been trying to introduce her to the craft and so far, she has shown strong interest. She's even done 2 pages of her own and was excited with her results which has encouraged her to do more.

Anywho, I hope to come back after our shopping spree with an update of our garage sale haul. We shall see!

TTFN!

Can't shop for supplies...

Odd first post, perhaps but lately I'm finding myself in a bit of a dilemma; I can't bring myself to buy anymore scrapbooking supplies. Not because I'm making some crazy "NO spending" commitment or because I feel I have enough supplies. Nope. My reason is that I just can't make up my mind! I go into, let's say Archiver's, and I'm immediately overwhelmed by the selection in store. So many yummy Halloween lines to choose from and oh so many delicious Christmas lines. Which to choose? I can't afford to buy them all at once but even if I tell myself that I will own them all eventually, I still can't bring myself to choose which to buy now and which to buy later. What if I come back later and that particular cute set of stickers is gone?! The horror!! But I can't spend all that money in one shot! THE HORROR!!!

So, I walk out of the store empty handed. I still have my coupon in my wallet and no shopping bags full of goodies in my hands. How sad! *sigh* I don't think I've had this problem before. Maybe I am becoming a bit more selective of what I buy. I know that right now back in my SB room I have tons (in my view) of Halloween themed paper and even more Christmas themed paper and I may perhaps have 2 Christmas LOs made and still zero Halloween one’s. Still, all those themed papers and embellishments make my mouth water! I must have them, must hold them, must….my preciousssss…

LOL, OK, maybe my need for supplies is compulsory but my buying trends are becoming a bit more selective. When did that happen? I guess that’s a good thing. I know my bank account is thanking me for it. I just wish I could tell my inner Gollum to hush it!

So, this is my first post, about my need to posses fighting against my indecisive nature.
Hopefully my next post will be a bit more productive.

Stay tuned…
