Well, I do a little but here's my thoughts.
When I lose some money, my thoughts are still on my quilting. It's like "I could have bought fabric".
Then when I win a little , the first thing I think is, "now I have money to spend on the board". This is so funny to me. No I don't spend a lot gambling and do not have a problem.
The problem I do have is my thoughts always come back to quilting and fabric and such. I am definitely addicted to my quilting board.

Do you chose quilting and fabric sales over other things?

And "yes" Davidwent - I broke a leg and then managed to put a cast on it before I came home. LOL. You are so bad..... :-) :-)

This is for another one of Figety's mice, this is for that cute fabric, this is for more thread.......and it goes on.

Yes, all the time.
Sometimes it's "lets not go out tonight" and I'm thinking that gives me a little more $$ for fabrics.
When I get birthday or Christmas money, that's what I usually want to spend my $$ on.

And when family asks what you want, a gift card to Joann's. LOL. It's all fun.

Hubby just asked to go out for lunch, and I told him I'd rather fix polish sausage and veggies and save money....for fabric. ROFL

Always can find a way to squeeze money for the things you love.

Don't gamble much but won't pass a fabric store if I've got any money.

No I do not gamble lol, I once worked in Vegas at the Golden Nugget, seen first hand people (on average) do not win what they put in. AND yes, I's rather buy materials :) have a great day
