Do They Make A 13-Step Program?

I've heard of 12-step programs, but I think I may need something a little more intensive. Earlier this year I invested in all the Nestabilities. The whole shebang - all the circles, squares, ovals and rectangles, both plain and scalloped. Hey, it was a 'deal' if you got them all!

Then I tried a few of them in my Cuttlebug, and I decided I really did not need them after all, so I sold them on SCS. Talk about a 3-ring circus! I had so many emails in my PM mailbox, it filled up! And I was going to the PO every night for about a month. I finally sold all of them, recouped almost all of my initial expenditure, and I made a lot of people very happy.

Then I got this special order for some cards last weekend, and I sat down last night to make them. I got them all done, right up to the little scallop tags, when I realized after several minutes of searching and trying several of my punches and searching some more, that I'd made the nicely-nested scallops ... with my Nestabilities. Aaaaaaaugh!!!!!

So guess what I did today? Can you think what it might be? Hmmmmmm? Yep - I bought all the Nestabilities again. CRAZY, I know!!!! But now I simply must use them, or I'll never live it down.

Next up: Will the Crooked Stamper cave and buy the Scor-Pal? Stay tuned! You just never know!

now that is just too funny! You better be sure to use them this go-round, and love them while you are at it!!!! Maybe you can sell some pre-cut shapes to help recoup the cost? Either way though, can't wait to see what you do with your NEW Nestabilities! ;)

Gee.......
shoulda sold 'em to me. Then you coulda borrowed them back.
When I wanted them, you convinced me that I did not NEED them.

(But .... you were right ...I would have never used them )
sorry you had to buy them again.
Maybe I'll borrow them someday.

I've been fighting the urge to buy them myself. I mean, don't I have enough stuff? (**heavy sigh**) I think I will have to ask for them for my birthday and for Christmas. I need the ovals and the circles, and...

I'd settle for a scallop circle punch. Or even a plain circle...scallop rectangle..hmm...maybe I need it all!

I certainly like the looks of the Scor-pal and I need all the help I can get!
