Paper, paper, paper!!!

I'm not attending CHA this year physically, but I'm trying to stay up on what's going on virtually. I love technology sometimes!!! I can avoid Chicago in July (ugh!) and still feel like I am connected to what's happening in our industry! Sweeeeet!

There are so many great new products being released! To check some of them out head to http://www.scrapbook.com/ and click on the "blogs" link. I have to say, after seeing more of the sneak peaks this week, there are now plenty of patterned papers that I want to get my hands on! Where I will store it, I have NO idea!

I may have to do a bit of purging. (GASP!) Do you purge through your paper stash every so often? Pulling out older, less appealing papers to make room for new, more inspiring designs? I do!
I find my tastes and style change along the way and some things that used to look good, now seem to have completely lost their pizazz. I simply pull them out and add them into my "stuff to sell pile." Whatever doesn't sell, I donate to a local teen scrapbook group. It is the only way this self-admitted paper addict can survive! I already have a 1' pile of paper to categorize and put away, and now there will be more coming! Augghhhh! But I just can't help it...I LOVE PAPER!!

enjoy the "healthier" addictions in life!

That stack of paper is a beautiful sight. I think all paper lovers would agree. I can't wait to see the new papers from CHA. I would love to see them in person since I'm a hands on touchy feely kind of girl.
So how many rooms have you collected for your book now? I think it's the neatest idea. I can only imagine how much work it is for you to put together, but I'm really excited to admire all that you put into it. :o)
