Is it hoarding or OCD?

Okay, so I have this little problem... When I find something I really like, I want to buy TONS of it. Next on my list: rubber stamping supplies. I used to be into rubber stamping years ago - and loved it. Life got a little hectic and I let go of that hobby, but lately I've been really wanting to get back into it. So I have a workshop scheduled for the 26th, and I'm certain my order will be large enough to qualify for hostess benefits even if no one else shows up to the workshop! Here are the cute lollipop valentines I'd like to make for the boys' classmates:

Linda (my Stampin' Up Demonstrator) talked about possibly having a workshop where the moms could pay $10 or $12 and she would provide all the supplies to stamp out a pile of kids valentines... then the moms could take them home and the kids could color in the stamped images. What a great idea! If there are enough people interested I'll schedule something with her. If not, I might do these lollipop valentines and have the boys color them in. I'd like to add sparkles to the hearts and googly eyes on the bugs.

I also think this jellybean flower pot idea is adorable:




And here's a really sweet V-Day card from Laurie Schmidlin's blog:



And everyone needs an "Embrace Life" card, right?



Yes, my wish list is very long. In fact, I'm clearing out an entire room and having a yard sale this Saturday to make room for my new stamping spot! I'm hoping to go from zero to this in just a few months time. YIKES! Okay, maybe not THAT much stuff... but I want to set up a little work surface and organize my supplies in some way. This is going to be so much FUN!!!
