Saturday Scavenge - Obsession

What a word!  Talk about truth in advertising.  Is it just me (and quite surely it could be), but isn't blogging a bit obsessive?  I think all week about what I'll do for the Scavenger hunt.  If I have time, I check my email throughout the day to see if anyone has commented on anything.  I talk about blogging when I'm not blogging.  Shessh, I've got to find a new interest.

This first photo is a fragrance by Calvin Klein.  The first Calvin Klein fragrance was Obsession. I have worn Klein fragrances since then.  My latest Klein fragrance is Secret Obsession.  It smells like Obsession with a hint of Hawai'i - perhaps ginger.

What about America's obsession with stuff?  We gotta have more stuff.  Even in this economic climate, advertisers are still calling out to us - you gotta have our stuff!

This is a print ad for Fry's.  I have only been there once and swore I would never go  again.  When I was there I bought a load o' crap, including a tiny live fish in a tiny fish tank for my office (back when I had one).  The fish died right away.  The printer and the home theater sound system are still in operation, though.

The next picture has to do with crafting.  I don't do anything half way - so here is a bag of yarn - one of those big bags they give you when you have purchased a load o' crap - full of yarn and strips of knitting that I am making into a blanket.  I don't know who I am going to give it to, but I like giving people things I have made.  It's like a legacy.

And scrap booking - OMG - what can be more obsessive than scrap booking ? - Again this is all about me - I am sure there are others who can scrapbook without obsession (actually, not really - but what do I know?  I look at and process everything through my own brain - so I am allowing for system mistakes and saying - oh yeah, there are those who can scrapbook without being obsessive).

I have shared this picture before, but am sharing it again because it is a good example of a combination of two obsessions - paper and material.  I covered Joe-Ash's scrapbook - which contains within lots of paper - with material.  In this photo you will also see a tablecloth and napkin that I made with material that I purchased.  (JoAnn's is my new Fry's)

Okay - I am a purchasing junkie - this I see clearly now, thank you Ananda Girl.  Looking back on all that time we spent at the mall buying books and albums, I should have known.....   

Now I have to get obsessive about moderation (and fitness and writing).  

Thanks for the new objective!

Happy Scavenger Hunt to you.  I can't wait until our next obsessive outing!
