it's not necessary

but i always buy more paper... i have enough.... i have more than enough.... when you can give someone over 100 sheets of paper and not put a dent in your stack, then you know you have a lot.... and i've said it before, perhaps it's an addiction... my husband buys dvds and i buy paper... one of us spends less, however, and it's not my husband.... but no matter, we each have a slight obsession with something and mine usually costs 20¢ a sheet, or on a splurging day, $15 for 144 sheets...

and my mom has become quite the paper collector herself... she has been finding beautiful wrapping papers from the thrift stores.... and she shares them with me, allowing me to pick from her ample stock.... some are retro and some are not but all are just enough to swoon over.... all i need is bigger organizers.... and then from there? should i organize by size and pattern? new to old? the "don't forget" stack?! one day, i will redesign my studio and it will have oodles of cupboards for all my supplies... and labels too.. i swear, i need an inventory list so i don't forget all the cool items i have (i kid you not, once i spend a week doing an inventory checklist, even typing it up.... but i needed a better system than a list)

i've  been seriously thinking of selling paper packs in my shop- my sad, lonely, shop.... i need time to cut and organize.. and of course, i wouldn't dare include papers given to me as a gift... all of those are just for me- haha... and i know several other people sell paper packs, including major stationary couples.... so i don't know if there is a demand... but i'd like to rid my stock of some, so i can buy more... yes, so i can buy more...

lastly, i am hoping to have more stock up in my shop by next weekend... i have yet to finish a swap, the postcards, and an illustration... so by next week, hopefully!

I'm completely addicted to pretty papers...but you know what? I think there are worse addictions, so I let this one slide! :)

I also love paper. I bought the Cropper Hopper Workstation (ON SALE!) to store my paper and I LOVE it.

you paper addict! how do you plant o get rid of your paper?

[Hanna]

I can't imagine finding second hand wraping paper, that would be really cool. And girl, you need a database to keep all those papers in order!

I love addictions - in other people!

I am another who suffers from the pretty papers addiction! I still haven't figured out a system to keep it all organized - it just collects in bags :P

Woof grrf...

I like paper. I like to sometimes EAT paper. Most often, I rustle around in and sleep upon paper. Soft sometimes, crinkly others.

Thanks!!!!!!
