Addiction

Salam 3alaikum girls,

My name is New Wife... and I am addicted to office supplies.

Seriously I love them to distraction. I love getting stuff to organize other stuff and having every color of pen I could possibly want and having multiple empty notebooks for any random idea that I get.

I'm the kind of person who has to really convince myself that I need a new shirt or pair of socks, but I find it so difficult to keep myself from buying a new notebook, journal, or pen set.

I took a picture of the evidence to show you...

It doesn't look like much but you should know that this is just what I brought with me when I got married... I was severely limited  by weight and size constraints and I knew my husband would rather I bring my pretty dress than my awesome sharpie collection. 

I'm telling you I have amassed boxes of this stuff over my lifetime. It is difficult for me to throw it away even, just in case I need it later. My mom use to make me sit down every year and try each pen and marker to make sure they worked and it was even hard to throw away the dry ones! (Later I found out that you can do some cool art projects with dry watercolor markers and I was so upset that I had thrown them away lol)

If I am in a bad mood, a little 50 cent notebook can usually cheer me up. There is something so awesome about the potential of those empty pages and pretty color inks...

What is your addiction/ guilty pleasure???
