Most of us have those impulse purchases; things that we look back on and ask WHAT was I thinking when I bough THAT? What is that item for you?

For me, it was embossing powder in every color of the rainbow. It looked pretty on the shelf but just didn't get used.

Decorative scissors - they never cut that well, and I have way too many. I never use them.

decorative scissors for me too. They really just seem to take up room... and those microbeads I haven't used them yet!

Yeah, I never could get the hang of decorative scissors.

Where to begin!!!!
1. Tons of chipboard. My BFF loves it and she is the one who got my scrapbooking....SOOO...I went out and bought lots of "neat" chipboard letters/flowers/shapes and I hate the stuff! So I give it as RAKs!!!!

2. 12x12 paper in a tablet. I did this in the beginning and soon discovered the "good stuff" and haven't looked back. Now the tablet paper just sits there.

3. Cropadile....just do not use it but maybe once a month....and then I really want to be using my hammer/punch kit but feel the need to use it once in a while to make me feel better about spending the money to begin with.

4.Stickers...need I say more!

5. Stamp sets. I used them so infrequently I sold them at my garage sale.

I continue later when I am cleaning up my scrap room and roll my eyes when I am putting away things I NEVER use!

I'm not to the regret stage yet but I am questioning why I thought I needed all 3 of the Ek Sucess Curvy Cutter templates (circles, ovals, rounded square). I have used each of them maybe once and been frustrated each time. I still may give it another try or maybe check out their website on ideas for using them before I make up my mind about regretting it.
