Tell Me

[nun69]

I am not the only one that buys kits and kits before I use the kits I already bought LOL I do try to use one of those kits when I go to do a new LO, but sometimes there is just too much goodness in the shoppe and I buy more than I should

[MommaTrish]

Pretty positive most of us do it.

[jessica31876]

I think most of us have that problem Angie

[taracotta7]

Yep. Totally addicted to SSD. I refuse to get help for it either.

[origami]

You're supposed to wait until you use kits to buy more kits? I did not get the memo!

[carriesmom]

Always! Seriously, I would never shop if I waited until I used everything. Sometimes I buy stuff because it is pretty, sometimes because I have an immediate use, and sometimes because I think I might use it in the future.

[KristinCB]

I always say if u are going to hoard it may as well be digital kits, this way people don't see and you aren't filling up your house with excess stuff

yes yes and yes Confession: I am a digital scrapbook hoarder

[origami]

Just think what your house would look like if you actually DID have all this paper and all these embellishments lying around!

[catgoddess]

You're in good company, Angie. I think we all do that. I use mine eventually, but not all before I buy more.

[lovely1m]

Yep, I keep a long list of kits that I haven't used yet, but bought. That way I at least know which ones need to be used. Then I feel guilty using a kit I have already used when I have so many unused ones. lol

[jk703]

ahem.... *standing up*


I'm Jenn... and I'm addicted to buying digital scrap kits, ellies, alphas, templates, etc... and cannot keep up with my habit by scrapping fast enough... so, I buy more, lol!



LOL!

[Serendipity]

I haven't scrapped since... like 2011 or something crazy like that. I've been lurking around the past 36 hours trying to get ready for the ball...

I had no problem buying stuff already! lol I don't even know what I have, but I know I have enough to not be buying more before I even start up again!

[Jenn Barrette]

*stands up* "Hi my name is Jenn and I am kit hoarder. It has been 2 days since my last purchase...but I am starting to get a little twitchy"

[misfitinmn]

I have never, EVER done this. I only ever buy kits when I have used all the ones I previously purchased.

I can't even say that with a straight face.

I don't even keep a list of what kits I haven't used because I know it would just depress me. Because of how I haven't used those beauties, not because I bought them!

[breakingbrie]

If I could, I would purchase every week Then I'm sure I'd buy more before using all of them, but I'm actually pretty good at using everything I buy. I'm currently sitting at 3 unused, then I ended up buying 3 things yesterday, and got the fwp as well, so I've got a few more now to use. But they'll all get used this week

[Beebo]

Raising my hand real high!!! I have unused kits I have purchased still sitting in my folder!

[scrapweaver]

Guilty!! Even during my scrapping hiatus I was still lurking in the shoppe and buying kits . . I mean, seriously? How bad is that lol

[YepBrook]

Meeee. I totally do this. I have finally learned to pretty much stop shopping anywhere else but a few stores aside from SSD because I rarely use those kits.

[ricslady]

I just started scrapping less than a month ago and I have 95 kits including freebies, templates, etc, and I still want more. So yeah, this is me.

[mrshobbes]

It took immense willpower for me not to spend a GC to a designer's store during iNSD because she didn't go on sale. The moment she did last week, though, I went to town and shopped! And then shopped again. And again. At the same sale. *headdesk*

At my last scrap purge I had deleted close to 200GB worth of stuff. That same day I promptly moved in almost 30GB worth of new stuff I'd hoarded for about two months. So yeeeeeeah, I have a hoarding problem

[LeeAndra]

That's what ACDSee is for.

I tag my new kits with 'To Use,' and that makes me feel good enough to buy even more new kits.

They're all tagged, so of course, I will get around to using them all!

[OrianaVianey]

After my last purge, I have 3,815 kits and I haven´t done a 10th of those kits
Actually I spent 2 years away of the digi comunity and guess what... I keep buying
Plus I´m on 4 Creative Teams, so even if for some miracle I stop buying I still will get more kits on weekly basis... so... what do you think?

3,815 OMG!

[nun69]

Oriana I wondered where you had been!!! good to see you!!!!!!!

eta I ain't even going to go there with the actual number of kits

[newfiemountiewife]

I am a chronic buyer. I have so many kits I haven't used, on three different computers. I'm an addict. I need time to actually scrap with some of it.

[dgreenshield]

I do it all the time! There are so many great kits each week and it seems like not enough time or pictures to scrap with everything I purchase.

Thats when I go photo-less. I tag all of my previews to stay organized but I fear I'll never catch up.

Hijacking the thread a little bit, I moved back to Panama and now I have a full time job at a Non Profit rganization (I´m PR)... so, not much time for chat on the adjusment period... I always scrap, but not much time in the forums

Doing the math is 10 kit each week
But to be fair I´ve been CT for several designers and stores, plus a high discretional budget...

Don´t worry... you will get there
