I have a problem!

I'm finally going to face the facts...I am a horder! I have this obsession with HAVING things. But most recently I've discovered that the 2 things I especially can't have enough of are books and scrapbook paper.

I've always had this dream of having a big library one day. Floor to ceiling shelving, a fireplace, nice comfy chair, the whole works. And what better to fill this wonderful room with than books? So I have this goal, fill a room with books. The trouble is, I don't have that room yet, but I do have boxes and bins and shelves of books that I refuse to throw out or give away because one day I will have a library. I've also discovered that I have lots of books that I have not read. I always have to have more than one book on hand for when I'm finished my current book (or books, I'm in the middle of 3 right now) so that I have a choice as to what to read next.

As for the paper issue...I'm thinking I need help. I buy paper just to have it because it's pretty. Who knows if I'll use it, but I can't leave it behind. I have an addiction. I go into a scrapbooking store and just stand and drool. All the pretty colors and patterns, oh all the pretty pages I could do (but apparently don't have time to do). And if that isn't bad enough, I'm sitting here right now contemplating joining a scrapbooking club online where they mail you a complete kit of coordinating paper and stuff every month right to your door (or mailbox). So then I'd have more. Yes, I really do have a problem.

I totally identify with the over collection of books. I am crazy about books and I would love to have a library in my house, I kinda made my 2nd bedroom into one. Books are fun and educational (well, some of them) so, you go girl!!!

I've gotten really good at letting go of everything - except books. If you figure that one out, let me know. I can't let go of my library dream either...
