~ Hello, my name is Diane .....

... and I'm a Craftaholic!

Yes, that's right.  I'm a craftaholic.

I don't know how it started.

I only know that I can't stop.

I have a closet full of craft paraphernalia.

Did I say "full"?  LOL  That's an understatement.

I should have said that I have a closet stuffed with the aforementioned.

Stuffed and shoved into every available (and unavailable) space.

So stuffed and shoved that I have lost track of what I have!

I have large plastic bins full of jewelry findings, beads, tools, etc.

I have large plastic bins full of yarn.  Every kind of yarn in every color imaginable.

So, why is it that when I find a pattern that I think I'm going to knit,

I don't go into this large bin and use what I have in my stash?

Why is it that I must go out and purchase the perfect skein of yarn for the project?

After all, I'll have a 40% off coupon.

Lord knows I can't waste a good 40% off coupon, right?

I have a bin full of micropens, sharpie pens, colored pencils

and special paper to do Zentangle!!!

Have I done Zentangle?  NO!

Will I ever? 

I recently bought a Sizzix Big Shot die cut machine.

So, of course I had to go out and buy every die that called my name.

Then I had to buy felt squares to die cut to make brooches.

Oh!  and then I had to buy tags to make for the holidays.

And then I had to buy stamps.

I have a bin full of stamps.  Rubber stamps.  Clear cling stamps.

Stamp pads in various colors.

Blue, red, green, black, orange, purple, white.....

I'm getting dizzy just thinking about all this stuff!!!!!

I need help.

I can't control this urge to run into a craft store....

coupons in hand....

running up and down the aisles.....

breathing heavily......

and I can't leave....no, I won't leave....

without a purchase!!!!!

Somebody stop me!!!!!
