lol Good one..My Hubby is an enabler, and even if he wasn't hes got way more hobbies to my one.. Fishing ( boat and all), hunting ( guns galore), Bow hunting (has a few bows depending on where he goes and with who), Wood Turning (two lathes and all the tools and a wall full of wood to turn) plus a shop for tools and such- I can guarantee that he does not have only ONE hammer.. SO he dare not question me... :shock:
lol.. :D

And everyone knows you don't have to do anything with a collection - its there just for enjoyment. I always tell everyone that I don't have a fabric "stash", I have a fabric collection. I don't have to use it up; if I did it wouldn't be a collection anymore! As long as I keep my collections neat (sort of) and can enjoy touching them, looking at them, playing with them, etc. then I can buy whatever my budget and space will allow. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
