Scrapping Overload

[crazsquaw]

:bug: I've been cleaning up my computer and transferring files over to another hard drive, so I can have room for more Scrappin'...and it is taking FOREVER! :scarey:

There are SOOOOO many new and amazing kits that I want to work on (and need to work on for my CT requirements), I am getting impatient!!

Happy Sunday everyone!

I wish I had not forgot my hard drive at work this weekend! Limits the amount of scrapping I can do!

[jenjenjasp]

lol. I hear you, sweetie. I can't believe how quickly I fill up my 500G laptop. gees.

My brand new laptop supposedly has 500 Gb, but it turns out it has partitioned out about 150 for Windows, which has eaten all but 5, and only leaves me 350 for scrapping stuff! I am continually offloading everything to Mediafire (have it all on a 750 Gb EHD) so if my EHD crashes (the last one did) I have it somewhere. It takes FOREVER!!! plus it doesn't help that everyday I either download free stuff or buy more, he he!

And my to do list is getting so ridiculous I'm getting overwhelmed and don't even know what to do any more. Trying to do CT stuff as challenges to kill 2 birds . . .

I hear ya! It amazes me that even being on CTs I STILL buy kits...as if I don't have enough! What can I say, I collect digital scrapbook kits!

Grrr....I won't even get much time this week to scrap...

[GlitterQueen]

I can't believe what an addictive hobby this is, I was very into knitting before, but it wasn't a complete OBSESSION! But at least I've stopped filling up the house with yarn!

[franlk]

Jeri I understand. I knit also and have so much that I know I will never use it all, yet still buy more. Same with scrapbooking. At least it doesn't take up as much room!!!

[Kimeric]

I quilt...and have more than a lifetime's worth of calico and thread sitting in our "hobby lobby" room. I have enough projects started to make at least 50 quilts...and never find the time to piece them together to finish them. My 1 TB EHD is half full....I have over 150 cd's filled for back up. I buy kits to scrap, joined 2 CT's to do more.....and yet I design, but never scrap with my own stuff. I drive myself batty, and am endlessly happy doing it. No wonder Eric looks at me funny all the time.

[GlitterQueen]

You guys are funny! At least I'm not alone in my craziness! Have you heard of SABLE? Stash Accumulated Beyond Life Expectancy, LOL! Kim, your kits are beautiful, I can't believe you don't scrap with them.

[crazsquaw]

LOL....SABLE rhymes with UNSTABLE!! Hahahahahaha

[LisaAdmin]

Kim, I can't scrap with my kits either. Don't know why :)
before this I was into reading (OH wait, still am)
and sewing (35 boxes of material)
and cooking :)

I love to scrap with your kits, Lisa. I too am filling up a 1Tb and have already filled 1x 500Mb and 1x 350Mb.(Not as bad as 2 metres length of ceiling high cupboards full of my "old" scrap stuff, plus 2 boxes (now in the shed) of half finished knitted jumpers.
It's not the kits but the full size layouts in psd form that take the EHD space. I spend one day a month copying last month's layouts and downloaded kits to EHD, and to DVD (extra sure), and linking unzipped kits into ACDSee. My main laptop is forever filling up, so I only keep current month's work on it.
I haven't given up on reading - at least 10 kid's picturebooks or short novels a week, plus 4 adult mysteries. (I am a teacher librarian), but have yet to take up cooking. LOL

so we are all.....obsessive/compulsive??? LOL - I'm seeing Jack Nicolson washing his hands, then tossing out the new bar of soap....

I used to be REALLLLLLLY into crafts (cross stitch, sewing, plastic canvas, etc.) I used to make things to sell at craft shows and had my spare room fullllll of stuff that I probably would never be able to finish. I ended up getting tired of the clutter once I started scrapbooking (and things really didn't sell well enough to make the time worth it) and donated all my supplies, except some yarn - I do crochet every so often to the nursing home on the corner. They were thrilled by the huge amount of stuff they got. I was glad they were able to use it - on one of my trips back and forth, they showed me some of the things they had already made with stuff I gave them.

So I guess I fall in the same compulsive group - I am in good company here :D
