Okay, I am addicted to Goose berry patches things. Mostly their cook- books Cook books Quilt Books. knitting, and crocheting books. Embroidery things and supplies. Not to mention material.Sewing patterns etc. I love things to work with. I thought I was doing good with this de-cluttering thing Which I have done a lot. But, I just can't seem to stop myself. Surely I am not the only one?? Come on tell us what you are addicted to. Help make me feel better. lol hugs sheila

I'm addicted to the MJ site as well. I bring it up in the morning and I don't turn it off until I head to bed.... Also.... vintage linens - can't get enough heirloom seeds - see above comment brownies - just stay outta my way if there's a plate junking homemade soaps skincare - I cannot fit anymore in my bathroom rearranging my house and peanut butter... I wake up in the middle of the night for a spoonful! I think I went thru withdrawls when I was in Idaho!!!

I must not forget Red Wine.

Wow. So many great addictions!
coffee - I have at least 3 different flavors at any given time in the fridge and drink it all day
blankets, quilts and pillows - I don't make them - just buy them. I just realized this recently while de-cluttering my house and found I have more than I would ever need but, can't seem to part with any and I continue to buy them.
MJF - no explanation necessary!
gardening and anything related to it
facebook farming apps (I'm not the only one)
good chocolate like MJ's organic or German chocolate
primitive and vintage kitchen gadgets

Sharlet...I noticed in your list "soaking tub baths" I can totally relate to that one!
E-mail me your address if you would like a sample of my own Bath Tea's. They are....I have to say... AWESOME! I use a blend of Rosemary, Lavender, Mint, Rose petals and Oatmeal...enclosed in a muslin bag. They are soooo sooothing! I am downstairs on the fam's computer, but will return to this thread with a pic of my bath teas so you can see for yourself. |

diet pepsi-if they made a fizzy coffee, i'd swich in a heartbeat
nutter butters
p-nut m&ms
Huge soft and fluffy beach towels-they are everywhere in my house and in each vehicle. I just can't stand to sit on nekkid vinyl or hard chairs. I have a towel fettish. Bypassed a really nice one at IKEA but they dind't have a bath sheet size in loud canary yellow
any kind of berry picking
this web site
shopping-especially for my dog she is spoiled rotten!
Earth Fare/Trader Joe's/Whole Foods Each is in itself a shopping experience for the senses
Cincinnati chili
ice cream- at times I have been known to just shop for ice cream and fill my cart with 8 1/2 gallons at a time. I even eat it in the dead of winter
and the worst for my long suffering hubby: I LOVE purple and the real scent of lavender I'm drawn like a moth to the flame

I laughed so hard at your list of addictions. Girl we have to talk!
I know what I will be scouting for at rummage sales this summer.... a canary yellow beach towel. And the ice cream! You go girl!
I have been on a purple streak for some time now and I grow my own lavender!!

Hmmm let's see.
1. Coffee (aka nectare of God, that was such a good thing He thought up) 2. Books, books and more books. 3. Yarn, I'm in 7th heaven wandering through a yarn store. 4. Knitting 5. Good, dark chocolate 6. Going for nice long meandering walks. 7. Sparkly things (not necessarily expensive, must have some magpie in my DNA).
