What's your shopping addiction?

The movie, "Confessions of a Shopoholic" is coming out this Friday; in that
same spirit of lighthearted fun, we're looking for quotes from members who
are willing to share their own shopping addictions that may be used in a
possible slideshow here on iVillage. If you've got that active shopping gene
that drives you to prowl the stores, tell us:

My addiction in the warm months is outdoor plants.

A)I have to stay away from fabric stores,


B)My most recent purchase was 50 yards of Cotton in Pooh bear prints. (so I need to stay off ebay as well)


C)there is always such beautiful colours and patterns that I can't seem to resist.



So it is just easier to stay completely away from the fabric stores & off ebay. I just keep stashing the fabric in my corner and never seem to use it. Well I do use some as I make quilts and bags for friends and family but I'm sure I could make enough quilts and bags for dozens of family members before I would have to buy anything.

It is as simple as that. I get on kicks First it was afghans then it was 32in dolls recently it has been hand worked pillowcases. I just love anything that is one of a kind.


And I adore good oils (art painting) They have a lot that are orginals out of California on there.


That is my downfall.

My shopping addiction would be books, hobby/craft stuff, and shopping for my Gs.


I have mangaed to stay away from bookshelves for about 8 months now -- I force myself to just keep walking and not even look at the titles.
