All things art related. I'll get books on whatever my art-du-jour is, I've found 7 sets of water colors, 3 or 4 sets of pastels, 4 sets of oil paint, I lug home old doors, old windows.... I'll draw on paper bags, gourds, doors, I'll paint windows, jeans, and I've been trying to figure out if I can paint polyurethane over this overstuffed chair that we don't want in the house anymore but it's too comfortable to give away. I drag home birch branches that I see on the street and I'll just put them in my yard......I've been known to haul pieces of a log, all the way home, in my luggage, from New York, because it had a perfectly wonderful torso shape and I'm going to use it at some point... THIS AFTER I shipped my clothes home because "I can get more of those, but I may not see just this perfect log again."

Kate, that's just too funny -- and not something that's beyond me, either

Sounds like me too. Rocks, sticks, driftwood have all ended up in my suitcase.
I remember bringing a cotton plant back from Alabama and having to declare it at customs.
I started a crazy quilt over 10 years ago and my Mom helped hand sew the pieces...I really need to finish and use it. Mom is gone but her handiwork lives on.

I am embarrassed to admit it, but I love to watch TAPS the Ghost Hunter show with my son-behind a pillow for safety.
And, (true confessions) Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, and Brothers and Sisters. Honestly though, I haven't quite figured out if I watch the latter for the story or to ogle Rob Lowe... Talk about injustice! That man gets better with age!

I like the little packets of childrens sweets...dolly mixture did like the tiny liquorice allsorts but I must not eat liquorice sine anaphylacic issue..I was born into sweet rationing (UK post war)so did not have sweets as a child.
So now you all know.Sometimes the shop assistant asks if I am buying them for a Grandchild?I just smile.
Also parma violet sweets (like little pills)junk really.

My best friend sells Princess House dishes and home accessories. I recently hosted a party and had enough sales to get something I have wanted for a very long time. A Fondue Pot! This fondue pot is the BEST! I love to make chocolate fondue with strawberries. We put the pot on the coffee table in the den and put on a good movie!

Yum! So delicious! I took a fondue cooking class and the chef prepared chocolate & carmel. I am a chocoholic, so I was quite surprised how much I loved the carmel, it was amazing!

What do I feel guilty about when I do it? Hmm, not much. When I'm supposed to be writing, I feel guilty about reading all my e-mail or surfing the web. It's Research, honest! LOL

Since I gave up chocolate, that's not a guilty pleasure anymore.

I'd have to say a McDonald's double cheeseburger. I do feel kinda guilty about eating it, when I should have ordered a salad. But, I don't feel guilty because I didn't get the fries too. I only have one and it's when we go to the keys. Which is 3 or 4 times a year.

I do feel guilty when I don't spend enough time with my bird. That really makes me guilty.
