I've only been with oscraps for a few days and have already spent a small fortune on supplies. I looked at my Visa account today and realized i kinda forgot about the exchange rate (i'm in Canada). LOL our low dollar is good for but business but bad for my scrapbooking endeavors.

Here are my justifications -- TaylorMade was 30 percent off this week. -- It is just good economical sense to buy it now? am i wrong?

-- This is my only costly hobby -- Jonathan (fiance) spends over 2000 a year on golf and I am nowhere near that!!!!

-- I have the money to spend...I get a little overcautious when it comes to money (which is usually good) but i should get to have fun too!

Anyway I feel better,
thanks for listening.
 
LOL...girl I keep saying I cut myself off and it just never seams to work!!! But for the record all your justifications sound great to me!!!!!!
 
lol well thanks... I need to get scrapping with the stuff I have. I keep buying more stuff and I need to use the beautiful stuff I got. The shop button is so tempting up there at the top of the screen.
 
LOL -- I'm sitting here dying laughing because I have a bunch on my wishlist waiting for me. I have a love-hate relationship with that wishlist button. I was about to say "oh help me! I'm about to spend more money!!" and I like your justification -- my hubby does the golf thing too, but it's not just golf green fees, it's the "I need a new club!"
 
wishlist button... hmm never used that before. I think that will be very bad for me. Goodies just sitting there waiting to be purchased lol.

In my opinion the golf thing is hilarious/ridiculous. It is soo expensive. And then there is these golf getaways... to me its like what's the difference where you do it? ...i don't get golf.
 
Unfortunately we have this extremely talented design team here and it is almost impossible to not go crazy in the shop. Good luck with that. I just buy a few things at a time and limit how often...of course yesterday I bough a few Amanda kits. Go figure. :)
 
I bought so much stuff lately!!! good Lord!!! can't help it!!!
But girls...why not? unless you don't take the money from the food or bills expenses it's fair game!!! I don't have another hobby, I don't go dance or Bars...I don't drink and don't smoke...HELL- WHY NOT???
 
yeah...I use all of my cigarette money for digital scrapbooking!! heehee!! (i've never smoked, so it's a lot of money!! bwahahahahahahah!!!) I LOVE that!!!!!
 
I'm with you Yam. As a hobby this is certainly a mild and inexpensive one. I just need to scrap with what I got before I buy more...I don't know what to do with what I have!!
I have to say, I've looked around and haven't found half the talent that we have at oscraps. I think they are the most talented in the business.
 
Alyssa - I like to buy stuff. I buy it and it just sits there...and sits there. I don't have a use for a lot of the stuff I get but I love it and buy it and always end up using it eventually!!

I'm with you girl! I buy buy buy!! I do believe I have enough scrap supplies to scrap every picture I have and then some!!!! Now the time...that is another ordeal!!
 
LOL... this is so me. If I like it, I buy it.
I will use it eventually.

DH plays a lot of golf;)
My justification......(from a digi friend)
"I am worth a dollar a day, for me". ok that =30/month.

Told DH, don't you think I am worth, $2/day...just to spend on me?
He agreed:D.

I love this!!! My dh is a spendaholic. He spends spends spends!! I told him yesterday no more spending without selling something to cover it.
 
So have you guys done the O'Stash challenge Kat has for all of us? It is geared specifically for using what Oscraps stuff you have just sitting around collecting virtual dust!!!!

CHECK it out here!!!
 
I wrote down the recipe, but I'm telling you . . . this work thing is really interfering with my fun !!

I hear ya...I can't actually scrap till I get home..not like I've done much that would account for work today...go figure!
 
I don't know about several of you ladies, but I'm heading over to my wishlist button -- and celebrating tonight! Cheery-O !
 
I've decided that digital scrapbooking is actually TWO hobbies. One is the buying and collecting of supplies. The other is actually scrapping! LOL
 
I've not written the recipe...but the only OS I have, (until I go shopping) is from ADSR. and it is not used yet.

LOL! I have been sitting here laughing my head off............. I thought I was the only shopoholic here! I used to do quilting before I discovered digiscrapbooking and I used to have to sneak in my materials, ended up putting them in grocery label bags so dh wouldn't see them :D NOW I can
buy STUFF and he doesn't even know!!! LOL!

LOL that is hilarious!! ...the other problem is...as soon as you buy it you have it...talk about instant gratification.

I agree!! I keep trying to restrain myself during Amanda's sale, but I am afraid I'm losing the battle. Anyone have any "insider information" about what juicy sales might be coming up for NSD to tempt us???
 
LOLOLOL!!! You are soooo funny!

I have to admit, the designers here are just amazing, it is hard to resist. Every time I get a "Haps" newsletter, I see more stuff I want.

I should try the O-Stash challenges, I need soemthign to get my mojo going again.
 
You are all soo right!!!OMG!!! NSD! I forgot about it!!! somebody has some information? please? new kits? new sale? something??????????:mrgreen:
