Life…
It’s so full of reality these days...TV is full of reality shows, everyone is telling it like it is, and it's OK to talk about our addictions so-ooo here I go.
I'm going to tell you about my not so deep, dark secret addiction. Well it just can't be deep and dark since all the telltale signs of this addiction are scattered all around my home.
Back in the 90's I stumbled upon this crazy group of crafters, Rubber Stampers...it was practically underground that long ago. I started buying "stamps" and before long I had accumulated so many that I had to figure a way to organize them and then I had to find a way to explain my addiction. I even learned from other addicted folk how to conceal how much I was addicted to the stuff! I learned to write in my check register "stamps" so that when questioned I simply pretended they were postage...can you believe it?
Well fast forward to today and my addiction deepened as addictions often do. I was dragged into scrapping by my pastor’s wife, of all people!
My spare room is now full of all the paraphernalia of my addiction. It now hides …um I mean stores embellishments, papers, rub-ons, and every other wonderful tool in every nook and cranny. In fact it has overflowed to my kitchen table and the counters are subject to frequent “scrap party” excesses too.
The good news is that since becoming addicted, my family thinks I am more fun to be around. My DH no longer has to be concerned about what to do to keep me happy when he wants to indulge in his excesses. I guess over all, my family is not all that concerned, should I be concerned??

I don't have any of those... 
And to think that your pastor's wife introduced you to one of them... Thanks for sharing!!
