What is my addiction you are wondering?- It's not donuts, (altho I wouldn't refuse one should you offer), not chocolate, (although if you paid me in chocolate instead of cash I don't think I would complain), visiting my in-laws,(eek!) or housecleaning,(now I ask you, what normal person would be addicted to that?)...
My addiction is buying fabric and supplies to enrich my artistic endeavors. I love going in to a fabric store and going up and down each aisle, sometimes 3-4 times, looking for just the right material for a project I have in mind. No matter that I have scads of fabric now to do 500 art doll miniatures, I must have more, just in
case!

And supplies? Well, that is another problem! I have many little clear drawers full of little curiosities, embellishments, brocades, doo dads, and miniature replicas and other paraphenalia that will take me into the next century before I could use them all...but still, what if I run across something that will be just what I need for that next project? You can see my dilemma....

Well, I won't be harming anyone by this addiction, so I think I will happily keep feeding it, until I run out of places to put everything !
Am I the only one suffering with this malady? Say it's not so! :)

What a great addiction to have and one I have to admit I share ;o) Roz xx
You are not alone! I have so much stuff even I don't know what to do with it all. I'm not allowed to go to the craft store by myself. If I take someone with me I shop for just what I need but if I'm alone "Whoa Nellie!", watch out, I can get a little crazy!
I had a feelig I wasn't alone Sassy! LOL!
Definitely not alone, I buy fabrics when they are on sale for "later" use.
P.S. saw your story on Handmade Spark--big congrats :)
Thank you Caroline, that is very noce of you! :)
