The Serenity Prayer
Lord, grant me the serenity of a clean house, much paper, juicy ink pads, and many stamps; the courage to create whenever an idea strikes, even if it's 4 am; and the wisdom to log on to SCS to CASE when my mind goes blank.
The ALPHAHOLIC'S 12-STEP PROGRAM
1. Admit to ourselves that we love and own many Alphabet sets - and that our stamping and scrapping endeavors are not worth pursuing without them.
2. Come to acknowledge that without Alphabet stamps, our scrapbook albums are *BORING*!
3. Make a decision to turn all stamping purchases into two categories: Alphabets and Other.
4. Make a searching and fearless inventory of our stamping spaces to determine the breadth of our Alphabet addicitions.
5. Admit to God, to ourselves, and to our fellow stampers and scrappers the exact nature of our use and abuse of our Alphabets.
6. Ask our fellow stampers and scrappers to assist us in our development of techniques, backgrounds, foregrounds, wallpapers, embellishments, colors, and other media to fully develop our stamping potential and use our Alphabets to their fullest.
7. Ask God to remove all other distractions from our lives (except for our familes) so that we may solely focus on our Alphabet and stamping pursuits.
8. Humbly ask others to help remove smudges, creases, smears, and other defects from our creations.
9. Make a list of all pages, cards, and photos we have harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all.
10. Make direct amends to all pages, cards, and photos we have harmed, except when to do so would necessitate a trip to a dumpster or local landfill.
11. Continue to take an ongoing inventory of all Alphabet stamps and, when duplicates or near-duplicates exist, admit to those immediately.
12. Having had a awakening as a result of these steps, we carry this message to all ALPHAHOLICS, and practice these principles throughout our stamping and scrapping endeavors.
