saw this on an email from eclectic expose thought it might seem quite familiar to most of us
THE STAMPER by Jackie Saxby 1999
I started out with just one stamp
and when I bought some more
I decided that a shoe box
Would make an ideal store.
Then as I added inks and pens,
My stamp collection grew
So I bought a roomy plastic crate
It would last for years, I knew.
Embossing then became my thing
With powders and a heat gun,
Metallics, tinsels, pearls and clear,
I soon had every one.
By now my lovely plastic crate
Was spilling everywhere
And my glitter glue collection
Lay scattered on a chair.
My husband started muttering
And said things had to stop,
So I bought a huge old wardrobe
At the local charity shop.
But after a while,
I couldn't shut the door
And I put shelves in the spare room
To accomodate yet more.
Our house is now for sale,
Something larger being sought,
By the way, did I show you
The latest stamp I bought......

We have craft stuff in literally every room of the house and I still have to move boxes off the bed before we get in every night! We are currently waiting for permission to convert the attached barn, and I haven't had time to use the stamps that arrived this week yet!
