...that you are so very addicted to scrapping, as it is 02:19 am and I can't get out of here...
The BYOC is AWESOME and I made quiet a few pages but the kits keep coming and I wanted to keep going..... also wanted to come chat a bit..... but really should go sleep as we are going to be away this weekend and is very important that I am ok as I am kind of the guest of honor....
So, I confess: I have an addictive personality (so my husband used to say!!!)
For quiet a few years, I have been totally addicted to scrapping, and have let go on other things I should be doing to favor scrapping....
I also am addicted to different thing by periods of time... at some point both Sarita & myself were in love with Lypton's Peach Iced Tea, which I think is like the southern sweet iced tea in the USA? we drunk the whole Lipton's supply of our petrol station (which is one of the few places who stocks)
and I'm saying goodbye to our supermarket's very cheap blueberry muffins as I have to start the no sugar/no carbs diet....

so.... what about you?
addicted to something?
Have you neglected important things because of something you "had" to do because the addiction is stronger than you co0mmon sense/logic and reasoning?

{and here I'm resisting the urge to get back to scrap...am of to sleep a bit and see you tomorrow!!!!}
 
I am totally with you on scrapping! And soda... cherry coke zero. I am trying my darnedest to let it go.... it's not working!
 
Well, completely obsessed still with digi scrapping of course . . . but I have found a balance of sorts . . . I do find lately that I've been scrapping in clusters of time rather than routinely every day like I used to . . . going to make sure I fit it in my schedule for everyday.

My other obsession is Diet Pepsi. It's ALL THE TIME in my cup.

I also have to read every single day.

I am obsessed with having a picked up house. I can't vacuum or sweep, so maybe it's my compensation for that (I have to wait for Jay to do it ~ thank goodness he does it to save me back pain), but I don't like clutter. Ask @Danyale LOL
 
Scrapping, well... duh?! Well, over time, it has changed from just documenting to documentation/story recording/creativity outlet.

Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi (I would rather a glass of soda in the evening than dessert or dinner!) I only allow myself to drink this in the evening after I;ve had 8-10 glasses of water!

Slot Apps... lol! I have a bunch, so when I lose all my free coins, I just move on to the next app. :giggle

ETA... like Cheryl... a neat home. Clutter drives me batty!
 
Another digiscrapping addict here!!! lol!!! I tend to spend my mornings here on the pc, creating art........... but am making myself go do SOMETHING each afternoon, some housework, garden work........ ANYTHING not pc related :) lol. but I am back here in the evening........ sometimes I will scrap or just watch a downloaded TV series...... watching Criminal Minds at the moment. :rofl:rofl:rofl actually just looked at the time and here it is 1.23pm already!!!!! what the???? it was 10.00am just a second ago!!! :rofl

Coke is my addiction as well, the sugar-less and caffeine free one, its just so light and refreshing but I am making sure I only have one of those a day!

Okay, NOW I am really going as I have some plants that need to be planted outside, awaaaaaaaaay from the PC!!! :sense :rofl:rofl
 
I did leave. I swear. I had a camomile tea. I read, tried to sleep. Nothing. But I managed to stop the urge of scrapping more and went to do the crediting in my pages, so in a few hours I can post...and I came to feel less alone on the addiction!!!!

I so wanted to try the Cherry Coke.... it will have to be once I managed to lower my sugar levels.... because...all of you.... you do know that the zero is not zero,right? it is full of chemical substances that work the same as sugar in your body... I should know, after 16 visits to the diabetes clinic to get organized with the diabetes nurse..... I do like plain normal coke, but we have this rule of not buying it for the house, we only have it if we had pizza delivered, or when we are out ....

I am with you on the pain and frustration over the not being able to do house work.... wont elaborate too much as it is 6 am and I do need a couple of hours sleep, but I completely feel your pain... :(

I used to have the thing with Coke or another fizzy drink from Brazil Guarana, but not the powder one.... we had to put a stop to it because it was really bad, we were drinking so much...is good that you wait and restrict...!!!

Lots of things! Right now, I'm addicting to clearing out the "new posts" button on TLP so I can go finish a CT layout for @gonewiththewind. **squirrel**. I'm also addicted to Jalapeño Kettle Chips. My tongue is burning and I cannot stop!!

I have this maniac thing with the Mac trash can...I can't see it showing those papers sop I tend to empty very often, though now I check before, as I have trashed some stuff that I shouldn't have!!!!
I admire your resistant to eat those crisps/chips!!!!!!!!!!
 
My obsessions are scrapping, photography, popcorn, tv shows, tictacs, shoes and recipes. I've fallen way behind in housework and gardening but I don't really care. Sometimes I miss some of my other hobbies like knitting, crocheting and crossstitch. But I never miss them enough to want to give up my time with a camera or computer for them. I do still read but not half as much as I used to.
 
Scrapping, of course. But in waves, like most of my additions - with the exception of pepsi Max, totally addicted to that...

At the moment, crochet is my main addiction, while listening to audio books. Reading as well, have such a pile of unread books that keeps getting added to... not enough hours in the day.

Housework and gardening are getting a little bit neglected but I just blame the kids - all bar one are technically adults so they can fend for themselves!
 
Like everyone else in 'THIS' house digital scrapbooking!

Oh MY ICE CREAM! And Not the plain boring stuff either, it just need goodies in the ice cream! I just try and not buy it and if I do I get the small size because I will want to get a couple servings a day!

diet coke which I'm trying to cut out so I will buy it on the weekend but if I'm out and about I just can't stop the car from doing a McD's drive through to get a large one!
 
and here I am, still haven't done my hair color...we are away tomorrow rill Sunday, so I'm gonna go now and come back to you awesome peeps Sunday.... !!!!
 
I stay up way too late at night scrapping and bingewatching and Internet surfing so I can get a few hours to myself that doesn't involve little people yelling at me or scrambling all over me. I have always been that way, though: getting less sleep than I'd like so I can get the alone introvert time that I need.

I am SO PROUD to say that I gave up Diet Coke (and all pop) for good in the last couple of months. I used to drink 3 or 4 EVERY DAY! I was down to one a week as my mom takes my son for a couple of hours on Wednesday mornings and then brings lunch when she brings him back.
She was gone on vacation for a couple of weeks so I haven't had any since then! :dancebun
 
I'm addicted to most of the bad things, sweets, soda, junk food, chocolate.....I think the only thing good for me that I'm addicted to is scrapping. ROFL!!!
 
Scrapping yes! And template designing. This week I was totally just going to scrap, but I was itching to design something...I just can't stop!

Coffee!

And other things I really love & get into are homeschooling & running.
 
I'm totally addicted to scrap. each day I must make at least one page. if I can't scrap, something is missing... it's like a drug...
I'm addicted to photo too, for scrap, lol...
I always want to keep memory for my children that's why I always take pictures and scrap them.
 
Scrapping is all I do. Morning, afternoon (always watching my show at one) and then again after dinner is finished. Usually I then watch TV the rest of the evening.

I always drink 2 Monsters each day, at 10 & then again at 2. That's my caffeine pick me up.
 
Scrapping...for sure. I've been doing it for 10+ years now and still get so excited!

and

coffee. all the coffee.
 
*cough* reading ... I am seriously addicted to my eReader right now. I am actually a chain reader, just ask my hubby

Online classes. It is horrible. Seriously. I can't even tell how many I've signed up for (I don't think I've ever completed a whole class). And the unfortunate thing is that it is an expensive addiction.

And library books. At least I'm not buying them anymore. :giggle I have an entire 15' wall (floor to ceiling) shelves of books and other bookcases around the house. And the Kindle. But now at least I'm using the library (like a minx) and save myself thousands of dollars a year in books (which then seems to go to online classes... :stars)
