I have a major addiction to this hobby, so I'm a SU demo in my spare time (ha!). I alos request gift cards or scrap stuff when people ask me what I'd like for gifts. This hobby is pretty much where my extra money goes!

I don't buy socks, No I'm kidding. I'm no where near expensive yet, but plan on becoming a SU hostess...

I do the gift card thing also ~ and mothers day, birthday, christmas, etc. Adhesive is a staple on my grocery list because ~ let's face it ~ it's a necessity. Otherwise (shhhhhhhhh!) I just "borrow" $20 every 3 months or so or so out of the chicken money we make to restock. Also, do swaps or trades, etc...

Oh it has gotten out of control for me! So to improvise I try and use as many coupons, plant my own garden and am starting to drive less and less. I also ask for scrap realted items or gift cards for holidays. Another thing that I do is share with my sister. Since she is just starting she brings her things here and if we want a bigger purchase we split the cost. Like the Cricut.

All major holidays - I have scrapbook stuff on my wish list. DH surprises me along the way as well. I use coupons and look for great deals. Also, I rarely make huge purchases.... I usually spend $10-$15 here another $10 there. So... even though it adds up, I never feel like I'm dropping a lot of cash for my scrapbook stuff.

I also scour MS and SCS looking for FSOT offers on stamp sets that I'd like.
