Today I bought ten yards of white. My white was depleted and with 40% off how could I not?. So I will go without grocery shopping for a week and dig into the stash of food that there is plenty of in the pantry and freezer. You know there are always ways to find money and not feel quilty,

You sound like me! During the summer I did the Fabric.com sale. When the UPS man showed up with the beat up box he wanted to open it to make sure nothing was damaged. I told him no worry -- it's only fabric -- 90 lbs of it! My DH was in shock -- 90 lbs of fabric in one delivery!

That is what I am doing also....it almost hurts to push the delete button, but I really can't justify buying any more fabric....sale or no sale! Now...if....I....can just....keep my....finger...away from the..."buy" button! :shock:

I think i need to have DH take away my laptop for a few months. I hope i am not the only one with this "illness"

I've been watching the different programs about hoarders and realized I was one. I have successfully given away alot of my fabrics that I realized I would never do anything with, and I have stopped looking at web sites and going to fabric stores unless I absolutely need to for supplies - and I try not to look at the fabrics. It helps, too, that I don't live real close to fabric stores right now.
