Thanks to my friend Sam, I have been introduced to this lovely site. I am consumed with the need to buy something all the time. Why you ask? Maybe because I love the fact that things can be custom made for you. Please do not even get me started on all the cute stuff for babies. I tried to explain to Chris that Adam does indeed need 10 onesies with his name on them. I love the idea of something being made especially for you. Plus I love the anticipation of waiting to receive good stuff in the mail.
I am obsessed with jewelry. I have always loved it. So what better than to have your name or your loved one's initials forever branded on it. I am crazy about monograms (among other things). I didn't realize all the different things that can monogramed for you. If I had a baby girl, I believe that all of my paycheck would be spent on etsy. There is way more cute stuff for girls than for boys (a whole another topic for a blog). Alas, I realize that the obsession needs to stop. Should I quit cold turkey or slowing wean myself off? Oh one more purchase won't hurt. Every baby needs a "Future Republican" onesie. I am just doing my patriotic duty. : )

I know! I am too! I finally confessed to Izak the other day... "Izak, I think I need help..." lol... Its so fun to see all the things out there that I didn't even know I could live without! ;) I think we should start a support group. I tried quitting to. I told myself that I wouldn't even look at etsy one day... well I got bored and I found myself on it. Now I'm thinking wait till you get all the stuff that you've ordered FIRST, then you can go back on... we'll see how that works out too. I just love getting little packages in the mail! So unless people just want to send me stuff, I'm pretty sure I'll always be on etsy! Plus, Christmas is coming up so you have to get your orders in before the rush! And then I see stuff that Bea isn't old enough for and I think, I'll wait and get it in 3 years... but... what if... etsy isn't around in 3 years!!!??? What will I do then??!!
I've also convinced myself that as long as I (keep) spending UNDER $30. I'm good. Of course I just don't think about what everthing adds up to... plus the shipping and handling. I CHOOSE not to add it up. So I still think I'm good. But I've yet to buy Bea the letters for her name! And I REALLY want to do that... but Izak says 'no.' But why does that stop me??
30 is my limit also! Can you buy one letter at a time? : )
LOL! I could... hmmm.....
