Take pictures of things because you think they are nice color combos and you want to
be able to remember them.

...you're describing the baby shower gift you just bought, and you tell your friend, "It's mostly Certainly Celery with Close to Cocoa trim and just a bit of Barely Banana!"
What a cool color combo; I think I'll use it!!! LOL!

it's a beautiful sunny hot day - and instead of going outside and enjoying the weather - you check out the daily challenge and run up to your stamping room to make a card!

You realize you no longer have a guest room, in fact it's become a rubber room.  |

When you're driving down the highway on a beautiful summer day (yesterday  ) and imagine ~ across the sky, a bit of a white cloud, and a little into the trees ~ a lovely font that reads "A Perfect Summer Day." |

1. When you start rearranging your closet into Bold Brights, Rich Regals, Soft Subtles, and Earth Elements.
2. The backs of Dimensionals and sticky tape find their way to the neighbor's yard.
3. There's glitter in the washing machine.
4. Your kids give initials to everything, CB = Cuttlebug, BSE = Big Shot Express, and know that a sandwich isn't necessarily something you eat.
5. You view everything in "sketch."
6. You're friends with every craft store saleslady within a 50-mile radius of your home.
7. You drive hours to go to a new craft store.
8. Your kids make fun of you because you wrap paper on candy bars and tease you that "you're going to decorate the dog's collar next."
9. Your supplies are clean and more organized than the rest of your house.
10. When you can contribute to this thread!

You know you are addicted to stamping when...
your 'manicure' consists of black ink, FabriTac and glitter.
you scour the $1 rack at every craft store and EVEN IF you don't like the stamps, you buy a few because 1) they are only $1 and 2) you never know when that sheet of ugly stamps will come in handy (for something)
you stalk the employees as they restock the stamping aisle
you are happier with your stamps than you are with all the money you spend on said stamps
you would rather give up Chocolate for Lent, than give up stamping

you go to help your ailing yet spunky Mom for a few days and bring limited supplies (one small grocery bag full) and though she does not *get* this hobby when I bring her her juice in the a.m. she sweetly asks, *Did you make your card this morning?*!!!

Oh my gosh...my addiction is so bad that when we leave the house if it is for more than a few hours I MUST have something of stamping with me or I get very irritable. A magazine..some cardstock, something to color..it just has to be with me. My hubby laughs at me but always asks me if I have something from my "room" with me....He is such a sweet soul...blessings.

You are in a moving vehicle for more than 30 minutes and you take something with you to be productive, like images to color, punches to punch out stuff, new catalogs to read and yes I actually stamp going down the road.
Also I look at toilet paper as an avenue to implement "texture" on my next card. You can thank Gina K for this one, LOL

keep an envelope in your purse with cardstock color chips just in case you see a SS when you are traveling, or just going to Wal-Mart for groceries.
you always have this envelope. you usually forget the grocery coupon envie.
you picked all the paint colors for each room according to SU colors. and the new comforter/curtains in the master BR. seriously, I did.
you are obsessed over the new SU! caty and bug your demo to death until she finally overnights her only copy to you.
you run out of post-its cause they are all in the new caty.
you can't imagine life without ink and rubber.

... you realize you have many, many stamps that you STILL haven't used (EVER. Even though they are a decade old LOL). You will probably NEVER USE them.... but they're stamps, so you will hold onto them anyway...
... you get nostalgic about your first stamp... and first clear stamp... and first House Mouse stamp... LOL

to all the ladies who decorated their houses in SU colors.... did you get the paint personally matched from a piece of paper (like in the store where they'll match anything to a paint color) or did you look at paint samples and go from there? just curious.

Vacations are planned around class schedules at a stamp store two states away.
The employees and management at the local stores know me by name. My husband says going there is like going to Cheers with Norm.
I saw an unusual tree yesterday and made my husband pull over so I could look at it closer. It had the most interesting shades of green.
I go in clothing and home goods store and rarely buy anything, but come away with some great design ideas.

.....when the storm sirens sound and there are tornado warnings and you are more worried about your stamp stuff making it through the storm than you are yourself making it through it. Why oh WHY did I put my stamp room on the second floor??

you know your addicted when:
You pack up all your stamping stuff when you are going on a fishing trip 1/2 way accross the USA, just in case you have time to stamp/scrap and to make your daughters b-day invites
When going on vacation you scope out where all the local Scrap/Stamp store are and make hubby take you to each one.
Your 6 year old daughter knows exactly what you need when you tell her crop a dile, bug, etc. And she knows how to run your cricut.

You think you'd better get a separate insurance rider for your stamping supplies because you've got so much money tied up in the stuff.
You look at clothes in the store and remark that the patterns on the clothes are following DP trends.
The ladies at all of the LSS's withing a 25 radius know you and smile when you come in because they know that you are big part of the reason that they are still in business.
You can't invite friends over due to your embarrestment of all of your rubber room stuff overflowing into every room of your house.
Even online Stamping Suppliers know you because you've shopped online so much.............
