Craftaholics Anonymous

A 15 Step Recovery Program for the hopelessly addicted

1. I will not stuff craft supplies in every corner of my house;
2. I will not keep nine projects going at one time.
3. I will not pick up more embellishments when I have a ton at home.
4. I will not let my crafting area look like a condemned area.
5. I will not relegate the kitchen table to crafts.
6. I will not spend more time with my online “family” than with my real family;
7. I will not stock up on more craft supplies just because I think I need them;
8. I will not go off on a tangent when anyone mentions that little word "e-bay "
9. I will not let my crafting distract me from fixing dinner; or any other occasion like giving birth, getting married; etc. because "I am almost done";
10. I will not stay up all night crafting.
11. I will not save dryer lint, empty cereal boxes, detergent scoops, minuscule pieces of paper, because “I might be able to use them”;
12. I will not spend more on a crafting tool than I would on a new car;
13. I will not salivate at the thought of a craft shows, or garage sales;
14. I will not accept glitter as a normal part of my daily facial treatment or decor;
15. I will not make promises that are impossible to keep.

Quiet, Rainy Saturday - Beautiful

Hey all,

Just a peaceful Saturday at home watching Disney movies (National Treasure, Pirates of the Caribean) and making cards. John is at school, David is with his uncle and Meghan is with respite (who knows where Craig is - no news is good news). Sooooo, I finished my first card today and thought I would post it here. I am going to try to post the cards that I make here so that I can refer my family and friends here to see what I am doing.

PS If I made anyone angry by my past posts and my up and down moods, I sincerely appologize. When I post my problems and/or questions on my page, I am not asking for a magic cure for my problems. I am only trying to unload here so that I don't bottle it up inside and make myself and everyone around me miserable.
