Wow! I usually don't read all the "pages" of each post, but found myself fascinated by all the ideas, confessions,humor, and sadness of this thread. I suffer from an addictive personality and if I'm interested in something, it's all or nothing at all! Arizona1, my heart goes out to you...fortunately, for me, I could never afford to drink, smoke or do drugs, but crafting was affordable until I discovered quilting. I had so much "stuff", and was so overwhelmed, it was easier for me to do nothing than dig in and finish something I had started. I prayed about it, and the Holy Spirit said to me..."You can do one thing, and do it well." So, the next day I gave away all my crafting supplies...brushes, surfaces, paints, and anything else associated with crafts, and didn't look back. Now, I'm overwhelmed by all the quilting UFO"s, etc...so I've started shopping from my stash...no 3 B's for me...I'll use what I have. I've got enough "kits" to last a while, and I did buy them because I wanted to make the project. The UFO's have priority...I love scrap quilts, and that is the majority so I can practice my FMQ on them and not worry. Love to bind so no prob there. Look upon your blessings as a way to help others less fortunate, and you will be blessed back. Hugs and prayers to you...emlee51
