Times Up! I will let you know the lucky recipient tomorrow morning and I'll be back with another give away! See ya tomorrow!
I am not the type of girl that likes super fruity things, flavors, etc. If I order dessert at a restaurant I do not go for a tart first, I go for the deepest darkest chocolate thing that they have on the menu.
The scents that are "warm" are my scents. I like vanilla. I didn't realize how much I liked vanilla until I cleaned up my closet. We really only have one closet that holds EVERYTHING in our house and I am always going through it, purging, straightening it so that I can see what we have.
Well, before I went here,
I didn't realize how much lotion, body wash, etc., I had. I mean look at this:
that is a CRAZY amount of stuff, just waiting to be used.
I also found this:
That looks like a hoarding deodorant issue, if I ever saw one. I have enough for a definite amount of time!
There is something else that I tend to have a lot of....that is uncut, unmounted stamp sets. They totally creep up on me - I don't know how it happens - uh...maybe three kids? That could be why???
I found out from my sister that she hoards toilet paper and paper towels. You can't have enough of those paper goods now, can you? She also has a warehouse supply of mono-adhesive. I tend to go shopping for that when I am there - you can't get a better deal!
So my question today is, what do you stock up on? Is there something unsuspecting in your closet like my deordorant? I just need to hear so that I won't feel so bad!
If you tell me in the comment section, you can have an opportunity to win these little items:
Yesterday's winner is:
"I'm a homebody and really enjoy peace and quiet. Anytime I'm sitting quietly with my loved ones or quietly crafting and have a nice, cold soda in-hand... I'm happy as a clam.
Happy Birthday and thank you so much for the chance to win! :)"
Out to start my day -
OK, I need to come shop at your place...parking is better, I am sure, than our new outdoor mall. lol
So, I thought about this and I would have to say that the one thing that I have an excess of is paper. Not just any paper, but pretty scrapping/stamping paper. I am fearfully behind in my scrapping, and I don't sit down to stamp nearly enough times to justify having TONS of paper. I go out to the craft stores and I see more and I want more. Where will the madness stop?? :O

Hmm... we do costco for TP and PT, but otherwise I do try to keep some essentials stocked, I used to stock up on peanut butter, but hubby thought I was nuts! When I find something I like, especially at Grocery Outlet, I buy a few, cuz they'll be gone. I have a face wash, lavendar something... that I think I'm on my last bottle of, got for $4 and its at WalMart for over $10... but I'm also accumulating way too much fabric! so if you ever need some, come shop at my house!!!

Oh my Trina...that was hilarious at first I thought it was the stock shelf at BBW! Too funny!
I like to stock up on $.99 scrapbooking stuff from Target..you know what I'm talking about..the little bins that are there just to mess with you because it's okay to buy it, it's only .99 cents! So I'm hooked I can hardly wait for the next season to come so that I can get all those goodies!! :)

My paper crafting area's grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years so I guess I could note the paper, stamps and card stock on hand ... but besides that is needlework! I laughingly tell friends that I collect unfinished needlework projects!
Thanx for the grins!

Love this story and the pictures are great. Looks like you have stocking stuffers and early Christmas presents for next year. LOL
I seem to have a lot of sales and clearance items. Mostly they are for stamping, but I do find little goodies for the kids. Of course when it's time for birthdays I can never seem to find the item so I go shopping again to get something. OMGosh!!!
I just love vanilla and I would love to be the lucky person to when this. Thanks for a chance.

I have an overabundance of...get this....Black Beans!
Were we supposed to go into our pantry??
I love me some low sodium black beans and since we use two cans at a time to add to any quick soft taco night, etc.....we tend to go through them quickly....Anyhow, I always think I'm out and I'll come home with an armful more.
Alas, beans, beans, the magicaly fruit...

I know its too late for the giveaway, but I loved your deodorant hoarding, I had to share mine...I hoard sharpies. I love them, I have them in all colors, actually several of each color and even though I have an entire bin FULL of them I always want to buy more...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! xoxoxoxoxox

Happy Birthday, birthday girl!!! You are a woman after my own heart. I love the vanilla stuff too. Bath and Body is my place. Here's what I hoard...I have 20+ large containers of Folgers Black Silk, DARK roast coffee AND two back up coffee makers. Bottled water too, in case of a natural disaster. I should probably get a generator, now that I think about it. I figured I could live without everything else except that. In case you're thinking you'll come to my house in the event of a disaster because we do have an extremely well built house with basement walls thick as my butt...well, I don't share very well, BUT, if you give me a box of vanilla wafers, I could probably let you have a cup or two.
