Confessions of a Craft-aholic

Well, it's time for me to come out of the closet...

(like I could ever fit into one of my packed closets)

I have a small problem...ummm...."issue."

My head is so filled with project ideas and crafts I'd like to explore that I am surrounded by partially explored (completed) projects.  Can you relate?  And, quite honestly, the whole "Internet scene" has just pulled me deeper into my problem...err..."issue."

I jump on Google or more recently, Pinterest, search "crafts" and get my fix!  There are so many amazing crafters out there with equally amazing ideas....ideas that I just can't wait to try for myself!

This is a paper rose sitting on the window sill next to my desk that I just HAD to try while reading on Pinterest how to make one.  All my craft paper is stored in another room, so I just grabbed the closest piece of paper I could - a grocery store receipt - and gave it a try.  Voila!  A paper rose!

 I know, of course, that instead of reading about all these novel crafting ideas, I could just open up one of those over-stuffed crafting supplies closets, carefully extract a partially completed project, and actually finish it!

LOL!!!

Yeah, right!

But honestly, it's not just a couple closets - it's three.... along with three dresser drawers, an over-sized, free-standing cabinet, a big section of my kitchen pantry, and several large tote bins crammed with craft supplies.  Yeah, I've got it bad!  Some supplies that have yet to even be touched because I just have not had the time. 

And did I mention the pieces of furniture?

Uugghhh!!!

Instead of becoming one of those crazy cat ladies that fills her house up with a ridiculous number of stray cats, I've become the crazy CRAFT lady.

Well, at least it doesn't smell like used Johnny Cat litter in my house.  I guess that is one consolation.

So, now that I've admitted my addiction.....

"Hi, my name is Allie, and I'm a craft-aholic."

All together now, "Hi Allie!"

.....where do I go from here?

To a blog, of course!  Perhaps sharing these projects in various states of completion will help hold me accountable to actually finishing them!  Wow!  Imagine that!!  And, along the way I'll offer some crafting instructions and helpful hints for your own projects.

Hmmm...wait a minute.  Is a blog just another kind of craft project?  Nahhh!

(Denial is a beautiful place to live.)

So, here are just a few of the accessible projects screaming for my attention....

How many projects do you have hidden away that are begging for completion? I would love to know that I'm not alone in my insanity - and would be thrilled to see your photos as well.

Y'all have an amazing day, and I hope to see you around here again.  Perhaps I'll even have a completed project to show off!  ;)

 

(Stop laughing!!)

Huggz!!
