Staying out of the craft stores…

My challenge to myself this past month is to stay out of the craft stores. It is quite impossible for me not to come out with a roll of ribbon, a paper stack or some little something that caught my eye. I’m like a magpie with shinny objects. I seem to have accumulated more paper and crafty things than I will most likely ever use in my life time LOL.  I have a habit of spending my lunch hour at Tuesday Morning, Michael’s, Joann’s or the LSS that are all five minutes from work. I have come the conclusion that my brain is not wired to just window shop. It has the over whelming desire to buy. In the effort to break this habit I have been bringing my laptop to work and spending my lunch hour creating or cleaning up cut files. So far so good, I have only slipped once last weekend. I found Fisker’s 7x7 inch clear stamp sheets at Dollar Discount; I bought 5 sheets because even I couldn't pass that up. This is today’s lunch hour file, hope someone can use it. The file contains the double heart mat and all the items on it, click here to open the download.

  1. This is a great file, I love the umbrella! I have an terrible addiction too ~ DCWV paper stacks, I have so many I could wallpaper the house & still have leftovers. I live 5 mins from both AC Moore & Michaels, then there is Joannes, which is only 15 mins away... so the temptation is always there. OH and when I get a 50% off coupon, I have to have my 5 year old daughter hide my keys!! So I feel your struggle. LOL, Staci
