Have you ever heard George Carlin's routine about stuff?  I think the name of it is "A Place For My Stuff" and it's a really funny piece about our need for stuff.  One of the lines goes something like "Your house is just a place to keep your stuff, while you go out and get more stuff!".  He then follows with pointing out that if we didn't feel compelled to have our own "stuff" and so much of it, we wouldn't need houses!  I've decided that this is not a bad way to think about my scrapbooking room.  Without the stuff (and lots of it), I would not need the room, and then who knows what might happen.  Now that I'm thinking about it, the more stuff I have, the more I'll be able to defend my space.  If I let my supply dwindle (say by actually using my stuff), then it might appear that I don't really need this space.  I know a certain somebody that is just waiting to pounce on this room for his own person means.  Really it's brilliant.  If you bring home lots of scrapbooking stuff, then it's natural for the casual observer to realize that you really need your own space, right?  (This plan should also work if you need your own space and haven't been designated any yet.)  I say, continue bringing home the scrapbooking stuff (though always under the cover of darkness and never in those pesky plastic bags which are soooo noisy) and defend your space!    As a side note, during the recent "Stickles" discussion, one friend confided that she was not so much a "Stickle Ho", but more of a "Scrapbook Stuff Slut".  If you suspect that you could be classified similarly, relax!  You are not a slut, but a brave defender of your territory!

So, the point of all of this is that I'm here once again as "The Evil Temptress".  This Saturday (March 1st), I'll be hosting the Crop 'N Shop at New Sharon UMC (1601 New Sharon Ch. Rd., Hillsborough).  Crop 'N Shops offer the opportunity to do either or both of these activities (as the name implies).  If you won't be joining us to crop ( I do still have a couple of slots available if you'd like to come), you may want to plan to stop by for more supplies to shore up your defenses!  Now, here's where the temptation comes in:

So to summerize, it's not a good idea to run low on supplies.  If you do, you may not be able to justify whatever space you've been able to whittle out for yourself.  Remember that there is always a family member with designs on "moving in"!  That being said, I hope you'll heed my advise and come by Saturday to stock up!
