I wish I had a personal assistant just to cut up onions for me.

For the last three days I have been consumed into genealogy so deep that I was worried I would never stopping looking through census's. I've got one of those obsessive personalities that once I think I'm going to do something I'll keep at it till I burn myself out. Well after doing my full genealogy on both parents side, then hubby's parent's also... I am done.

I found out I am as German as they possibly can come. My family did not seem to marry or mate with anyone not German. My grandfather side must of sprung up out of the ground in the late 1600's.

I am back on the gym bandwagon. I'm hitting it hard and plan on running another race this November I think. There is a 8 mile through mud that WOULD BE AWESOME! Need to start running outside again this Sunday.

I made a card tonight real quick because when I saw this challenge well.. I could not help myself. What's my weakness? I can not stop buying Halloween themed paper products. If it has a cool skeleton, raven, spider or bat.. ITS MINE!!!! Especially stamps with those things on it, or ribbon, or heck.. whatever. Do I make alot of Halloween'd themed items you ask? Well no...but this does not stop me. So here's my card for Shopping our stash. My weakest link.





























Stripped ribbon-Ki Memories, skeleton ribbon-Michaels, black chipboard Boo letters Making memories, black skull rubon- BG, black pp-Remincense,, orange transparency square-pink paislee, white swirl rub on-BG.

Have a great almost weekend!

HA! OMG, you buy all Halloween papers and stamps? That's good for ... like ... a few weeks a year, if you make them at all! I may feel a little better now about my own hoarding weaknesses. :)

Thanks for joining us this week at Shopping Our Stash!

That's a great card! I'm really terrible about buying craft supplies, too. The ladies at my local fabric store laugh at me when they ask me what I'm making and I reply "I dunno". Because I don't! I just buy stuff I think I might use someday. Ack.

you say "weakness" i say "adorable quirk"!!! ♥♥♥ for one thing, who wouldn't keep buying halloween goodies if they could do *THIS* with them... for another... you also use them to do goth-based art stuffs all year long!!! i think there are waaaaaaaaaaay weirder things to amass... hummels, for one thing. i have never understood the appeal. (& ya can't even make stuff with those!!!) :) :) :)

ps: i wish i had a personal assistant to run my errands. i hate errands. they are such a time suck and there is nothing satisfying about them even when they're done, b/c immediately you have a whole new list!!! :)
