Confessions of SVG hoarder

[mjtc923]

1. I just downloaded the irfanview program and have over 20,000 SVG files....... wow, Not counting all my cricuit files from the cricuit forum.
2. I spend A LOT of TIME on my computer. I have been doing this for the past 2 years.(my butt has gotten rather large)
3. I have to find somethig I can turn into an SVG at least 8 times a day. If I can't find anything I search for free digi stamps.
4. I get no crafting done b/c I am saving files to use LATER!
5. I hate to clean house! but my scrapbook room is always clean (ok thats a plus)
6. I save all kinds of images so when I go to work I can turn them into SVG files because I can't use the internet for crafting at work.(I do get work done).
7. My husband travels for his job and I have no idea where he is at this week(Possibly Miami) when I ask him he gets mad and says I never listen. (so I dont ask) I figure if I ask about the weather I get a general idea.
8.Today is my day off it is 2:37 PM and I have not gotten dressed yet.
9. I have over 150 sights on my favorites and that is just for SVGs.
10. I have one friend and she just sold me all her scrapbook stuff.
11. I don't scrapbook.

12. Water marks on files don't scare me.
13. I once found a sight that would give you files if you asked for them by making a comment. I felt bad asking for all her files, so I made up 12 addresses in different names. I DID thank her ALL THE TIME
14 I downloaded a trial version of a new cutting software system and taught my self how to turn them into SVG files.



Please don't hate me it's a sickness!

THis is hilarious!

I love your post! I don't hoard svg's but I love paper! I have more paper than I will ever use but if I see a great deal on paper I get it. I haven't scrapped much lately either although I have made some cards (I have to justify buying the paper!). I think we are like most crafters.

What a hoot. Please add to the list -- I hunt for every discount coupon and clip them out first before the grocery store coupons. Scrapbooking before food.

How funny, you should put this on a tile or your craftroom wall! Maybe you should get your hubby to take up crafting, then you will know where he is lol.
Happy crafting

Great post. It made me LOL. I can totally relate. My son is a computer geek and he cringes when he comes home and sees my computer cluttered with svgs and digi-kits. He added some extra ram for me. He wonders why I collect digi-kits if I don't use them. If they only knew what goes on in the mind of a hoarder! Don't even get me started on the mess I've made of my svg files. They need to be reorganized and I don't know where to start. If this computer crashes (knock wood that it doesn't), I'm going to need to serious therapy. I do back up every now and then, but not as often as I should. I don't scrap either anymore, but you should see the stuff I have and I won't get rid of it just in case I want to do it again. I have two Cricuts (just in case). I think I better to wash the dishes.

my scrap file has 4,939 files and 227 folders! taking up 1.23 GB.

Right now I am losing the battle of most files. LOL LOL LOL.

I completely understand the obsession.

But I have stopped DL-ing EVERY file I come across. I know I can always find another image....

Hubby just came and sat by me while I was reading this and got quite a kick out of #4.
He had to leave the room:(
