I have a disease

[joelsgirl]

I don't know what to call it, but here it is.

I don't need any new kits. I have a great stock of SSD kits, plus I have some fab designers that I create for. And, you know, I have 60 some unused kits from this year and last that I really want to use. Let's not forget that I want to give the money that is leftover from my monthly scrapping budget to charity, so I'm really trying not to spend money.

But I can NOT stop doing the challenges. I don't even WANT the discount. But I feel a little sick inside when I do a layout that I can't make work for a challenge. I feel like it's a wasted layout.

Right. Even though I love it and I've scrapped a memory, it feels empty to me because it isn't earning me points.

These points are like a drug to me. I got to have more. EVEN THOUGH I DON"T NEED THE REWARDS. WTHeck is wrong with me?!

[lovely1m]

well, I do need the points, umm...I do, really. I might have a ton of unused kits on my hard drive, too, but I need them. ;)

[emmasmommy]

I have the same sickness kellie. and you're right. it is DEFINITELY a sickness.

[lauren grier]

lol i just adore you kellie

[scrappurple]

:hugs: I am sorry {giggling}

[MandaT]

I really don't need to spend more or buy any more kits either, but I can't help it. I have so many that I've never used, not just from here, but from lots of places....

But I can't help buying all the yummy-ness.

Just try to get a handle on it now before it deteriorates into a worse condition where you see a kit in the store and absolutely CANNOT wait until you get your SR code....after that, it's pretty much terminal. ;)

Bwahahahahahaha!

I am sorry I am unfamiliar with your specific disease. I do HAVE to scrap a page to match the challenges or it feels wasted, for sure. But, I do need the points because I am yet to conquer my dying wish to own everything in the store. Then I will be happy and can rest in peace. :p

In the quilting world there is a saying....."She Who Dies With The Most Fabric Wins". Well, it totally applies in the digi scrap world too. Just replace fabric with SSD kits.:p

[calliclaire]

I am SURE I must be winning!!! Seriously, this disease you have is totally catchy as I CANNOT rest until I own everything. I have yet to see a kit that I can't find some use for (even if only in my imagination as I will never get to use everything I feel I should own!)
Welcome to the club!!!!

[WalkersMommy]

Hahaa :) I feel the same way!

[taracotta7]

I totally have this sickness and I REFUSE to go through a 12 step program for it. LOL

We are all in this together girls! Heck, we even enable each other! LOL

[MamaBee]

Well... they say the first step to be cured to admit you have a problem... I don't have a problem... :blink:... so, I needed to upgrade my server to a terabyte... and now it's 3/4 full... I have so many kits that I've purchased and then see it come up in the going-gone sale and I haven't used it yet... nope, no problem here....





Okay, I may have a bitty problem... it's those designers... if they didn't design such cool stuff, I wouldn't have a problem... yes, I blame others for my problems... :p

[rach3975]

LOL--yup. The challenges are addictive. There have even been months in the past that I earned a discount and didn't use it! (My scrap budget and HD are both bigger now--I don't see that happening again.) But I need the push of challenges and points, otherwise I spend too much time in the forums and too little time scrapping.

[breakingbrie]

I'm addicted to ssd in general. I have quite a few kits I've bought elsewhere, and I don't use them. I don't feel like I need to make every lo just for the challenges - I've actually started a few for the challenges, and they went in a different direction totally and in the end didn't really fit the challenge anymore!! I have gotten to the point that every time I sit down to scrap I want to buy a new kit right then...

[Ebony]

You took the words right out of my mouth!
I have 100 events I need to scrap yet if they don't fit the challenges they are pushed to the back. I just love the buzz I get from completing challenges, whether they be for portfoilios, designer blogs, scrap-a-lifts. ARGH!
I am addicted to SSD. I am addicted to buying new kits.
I don't even want to start looking elsewhere until I own everything by La, L. Reid, Krystal, Dani and Shawna here. Believe me, I am well on my way.

Eep! What have I turned into?

[Leila]

I've truly had to force myself to NOT do the challenges. If I get the points/discount, I'll spend money. I cannot spend money right now. I just can't. So, as much as it pains me to avoid them, I am not doing challenges.

[Lizzy257]

Yup, I have the disease too! But even though I have so many yet-to-be-used kits sitting on my EHD, I can't help but load my wishlist every week, and then (shock!!) I have to buy them when SR rolls round. I just can't stop myself....but yet I'm never going to be able to keep up and use all the kits I own :D

I have this issue as well...so not only do I have a HD/EHD full of digiscrap... I have a closet full of fabric, most in 1-2 yard cuts & crafting/sewing supplies...

[livelys]

I'm an addict too - thing is, I don't really want to be cured :p

Is it denial or just that I'm having too much fun and like shiny, pretty new things....?

[Paula]

LOL Kellie you craft me up! But, lately I am in the same boat. This is the first month that I've done the challenges due to my Grammy's passing and man, I have missed them.

[MandaT]

Would this be a symptom: going through the shoppe & adding at least 10 new items to the wish list, anytime I 'need' to make a project?!

[MommaTrish]

lol
mine's actually thinneed some now. I think I need to feed my addiction and some more too.
