No More Craft Stores! (Maybe)


If you are like me, you can go into a craft store and want to buy one of everything - five if it's glittered. Unfortunately I have bought more than I needed for any one craft project at a time on so many occasions that my funds have dried up. So I took stock of all the crafty crap I have (as my husband calls it) and was absolutely amazed by how much is stashed away in my crafting closet. There is enough material for an entire wardrobe, baby yarn for every child born into the family for 30 years, card stock and stamping paraphernalia to put Hallmark to shame, hot glue gun glue sticks to glue - well, whatever it is that I may need to glue, ribbon to outfit a Maypole, and odds and ends that make me wonder what on Earth I was thinking when I bought them.

My new objective is to actually use what I have and try - I say try because this is hard to contemplate - to stay out of any craft stores until after Christmas. Maybe.

  1. I have had to refrain from all craft stores for several months because I simply have not had the funds to buy anything. I miss my beloved craft stores, and my supplies are drying up. I am actually running low on yarn, this is nearly a calamity for me! I have plenty of beading supplies, I just have not felt the urge to bead anything lately.
    I wish you luck holding out till after Christmas, keep in mind that there will be great sales after Christmas on things they couldn't sell. :)
