My problem is that I love to have a large array of kits to chose from when I scrap. So I buy without knowing exactly how I will use the kit, but I'm pretty sure that it will get used sometime.
I also buy from other stores, but I wishlist alot when stuff comes out and then wait for a big sale. That way, I'm pretty sure of what I want to buy.
But still, I have spent money on many kits that are stored on an EHD and that will never be used because they are just no my style (fantasy, etc). That was a couple of years ago, now I know better, even though I still spend to much. lol
I've never paper scrapped because of the space thing. It was a complete turn off for me, I'm not a majorly organized person, so there would be stuff everywhere. Ironically, the unused kits on my hard drive don't bother me and everything is sorted and neat, which is really weird for me. lol!
