Collecting

I have a problem and I can admit it. I cannot pass a display of any of the following without stopping:

Christmas ornaments
Remnant fabrics/trims
Books
Magazines (especially those big, thick ones that Hubs and I call "mag-a-books")
Puppies
Kittens
Dishes
Cupcakes
Coffee
Special dishes for coffee and / or cupcakes
Purses
SEC Football memorabilia
Oh. My. Gosh. SEC Football PURSES

And if there are awesome clearance prices or otherwise homeless versions of any of the above...Katie-bar-the-door. I think you know where this is going and I'm guessing some of you can relate?

Those remnant fabrics / trims and Christmas ornaments are fighting it out right now in my house and my head. I WANT to put the Christmas ornaments that we used this year away. I really do. In the interest of full disclosure though...I also haven't passed up too many 50-75%  off ornament displays in the last couple of weeks without grabbing at least one (box).

That alone, not so bad. But I also have a new sewing machine to learn and let's just say I've recently fully enjoyed shopping the remnant fabrics and trims at some of our favorite craft-madness-enabler-retailers.

Now, what to do? Get real with the Christmas storage? Buckle down with the new sewing machine? Start cutting into those tempting remnants?

Would love to hear from some of you in how you combat what cannot POSSIBLY be just MY issue?

And notice I didn't title this post "Hoarding."
