My sister says I'm at the same place where she was at a few years ago with buying paper crafting items. She now will walk into a store and only purchase the things she needs to complete a project. I, on the other hand, will buy all kinds of things, as I said before if they are new or something I have never seen before, and not too expensive, I pick them up.
Unfortunately, I'm realizing I'm teaching these same buying habits to my daughter. I have a very hard time saying no when she picks up paper or picks up a package of stickers because I know in her mind she's thinking of something creative to make with those items.
As my sister said, my daughter and I are co-dependent on one another to justify the buying of items. I will say though that after shopping at JoAnn Fabrics and Cord Camera over the weekend, we won't be shopping for anymore items anytime soon. Well, at least until it's February and closer to Easter. Although I did purchase a new deck of cards. The ones I was using were the small ones, after seeing another blogger use the 5x7 deck of cards by Heidi Swapp, I bought a set off Ebay.
Yes, I suppose I really do have an addiction.....
Just a quick note
I need to go read Audrey a story, but wanted to show you one card I made yesterday when I was with my sister Angela. I'm working on Valentine cards already! I'll show more when I have some more time and the camera cooperates. I stamped the hearts and chalked the paper edges, added some ribbon and this was the result.

I've completed day 3 of Weight Watchers. I'm finding it gets a bit easier each day. I'll keep you posted on the results of that later. Have a great evening!
As the first sun's rays gild the tops of the palms, I conceitedly congratulate myself - so far, so good. I am hydrated thanks to the copious water stations en route, I am breathing regularly, my legs are still in good working order and I am comfortably within my target of a sub four hour marathon. Then the first direct rays of the sun irradiate the road ahead - and us runners. Almost immediately, the heat begins to intensify, the sweating increases, the legs become heavier. The effect is momentous. At the 20 km marker, I know that the turn-around point is just over 2km away and this becomes the first of what will become many objectives: just keep going till then and I will allow you to slow a little, my brain tells my gullible body. Eventually, these objectives will narrow down to just make that bit of shade ahead...
