I tried to be good

Leo is two years old. He arrived for his day with Grammie and Boopa wearing a blue tee shirt that read: I tired to be good but I got bored.

It describes a two year old. Very well.

It also describes me.

I can tell myself I will buy absolutely no new paper-arts related this or that. I mean it.
Then, just about that time I get bored Then I see an online ad for this or that at here or there.

It won’t hurt to just take a peek.

So I take a peek and I’m sunk. I mean, those highly desirable this and that’s are right there. And, today only, I can get free shipping!

Does it matter that I worked in the industry for several years and bought enough to pretty much start my own this and that empire? Does it matter that I’m having trouble finding spots of all those past purchases of this and that? Not a bit.

Last week I got four new embossing folders for my Cuttlebug. I could justify that. I’m in a swap (due in 12 days) that will use a Cuttlebug folder. Never mind the fact that I own just about all the original folders. These were 10% off, for Pete’s sake!

I also ordered two sheets of stamps from an online store I had never seen before. My entire purchase was 20% off. I like 20% off. (Some have been known to use that in describing me, but that’s another story)

The following day I had to force myself not to open the ad from Sizzix.

This week some of my new storage units will get installed in the studio. I’ll be organized at last. Well, I’ll be organized as soon as I fill those units with all my this and that.

Hopefully this project will last awhile and keep me from getting bored. (Unless, of course, someone has a 40% off sale.)
