Is there such a thing as too many bags of stamp stuff?


Take a look at this ridiculous sight and I think you'll agree the answer is YES! My goodness! I was sitting here thinking of what I could write about and thought about "confessing" my purchases of the day. Of course... I stayed in my pajamas all day, so there was no shopping done today. AHHHHH, then it came to me... I would just retroactively confess. Why you ask? I figure if I still have the stuff sitting in the bags, why not. LOL I am thinking I need to take a shopping break and USE this stuff! I haven't stamped since last weeks sketch challenge! UGH! So I am being brave today and am showing you MESSY MESSY pics of my stamp room. I am entering into evidence several bags from shopping trips last week.
The top left picture is taken from the doorway of my stamp room. Those are bags I have thrown in my room this past week. There has been no stamping. Only shopping this week. There are bottles of Primas, a couple stamps, some paint cans, a metal bucket, and hmmmm I am looking at that picture and I have NO CLUE what is in the Hobby Lobby bag... OH YA, it is 4 boxes of glue lines, some sticky strip and some cool metal D rings and ribbon (of course). The huge Big Lots bag has a bunch of boxes of cookies. (see pic) I had to buy all they had since I have the Bug and Kisses set. Why did that mean I needed all those cookies? WELL, I am going to make something cute with it, I am just not sure what that cute thing is just yet. LOL I also bought some cute candy from Big Lots to make a super cute project, but I am not telling until I make it and can post it here. Here are those crazy cookies I just had to have! :) Aren't they SO cute! Do you see my vision? LOL Seeing all this cute stuff sitting on my floor is definitely putting me in the mood to stamp!

My first REAL confession...


Well, I did say I would be confessing right? Hubby and I went out for a lovely dinner sans kids. As dinner was wrapping up I casually mentioned that I would like to run by Walmart for some ribbon browsing. Knowing there is no such thing as no, he agreed. As he was in the MANLY electronics department I oohed and ahhed over some GREAT new ribbon! I found the CUTEST baby rick rack! It is ONLY $1.08 per 4 yard card and came in 8 colors (notice I bought one of each!). Then, I found the great amethyst colored baby rick rack in a different area and of course had to grab one of those. THEN I stumbled upon the cutest little Offray MicroSpools of pink and black gingham, brown and off white gingham and the cutest black felt rick rack. I am in ribbon heaven tonight. Ahhhhh, ribbon... my drug of choice!

Just in case you want some proof...


I have been asked on many occasions to show my ribbon collection. Of course, it all won't fit in one picture, but here is a little sampling of my stash. I thought it would fun if you could see where my blog name came from... it IS an obsession. LOL Like I said, please refrain from organizing an intervention. I am quite happy in my ribbon entangled stamp room.
I have since added a few more drawers in other parts of my stamp room as it could not all be contained in the 4 drawer cart. (stop gasping) I promise I DO use it... alot!

Ribbon Loving Fool!

Okay, so I admit it! I am a ribbon addict. Those who know me are fully aware and I am hoping they are not planning an intervention anytime in the near future. Here's to ribbon obsession! Now let the blogging begin!
