A list of conventions!<BR/><BR/>Snacking is good to help with my scrappin’<BR/>Though I tend to overindulge.<BR/>Cakes and cookies and chocolates galore! <BR/>My bulges are starting to bulge!<BR/><BR/>Oh my! How I buy the things I don’t need<BR/>Eyelets and ribbons and vellums. <BR/>If anyone asks, “I’ve had it for years!“ <BR/>At least, that’s what I tell ‘em!<BR/><BR/>A scrap room? What’s that? Stuff’s all over the house<BR/>I suffer from *CHAOS,* you know,<BR/>No one comes, no one visits, except UPS<BR/>He’s my very best friend, that Joe!<BR/><BR/>Buy now! It’s on sale! They won’t have it again!<BR/>The gadgets, the papers, the glues<BR/>Look at the money that I can save!<BR/>How can I possibly lose???<BR/><BR/>Organization is an area where I am certainly lacking<BR/>I need help with that, others say<BR/>But how can I do it? I‘ve got things to do!<BR/>How can I waste a whole day?<BR/><BR/>So here I sit amongst all of my clutter<BR/>Housekeeping’s a thing of the past<BR/>Dusting and vacuuming and tidying up<BR/>What’s the point??? It just doesn’t last!<BR/><BR/>I have too many ideas and not enough time<BR/>They say that denial is rough<BR/>I have it...I know it....can’t find it....<BR/>Oh well....I’ll just buy some more stuff.<BR/><BR/>I know that they pay me to do a good job<BR/>But this 8 to 5 job gets so stressful <BR/>I need a vacation...I need to relax...<BR/>And then I will be more successful!<BR/><BR/>I spend time at work doing scrapbooking things<BR/>I search for a phrase or a verse<BR/>The perfect layout is all that I need<BR/>My addiction is more like a curse!<BR/><BR/>I tell my husband that if I should die<BR/>The best thing for him to do<BR/>Is to have a garage or a fire sale<BR/>And be sure to include all of Y-O-U!<BR/><BR/>I guess I’m a sinner, so give me my penance<BR/>And hurry!
