...I'm just about scraping enough pennies together to buy the Mira collection & they go & release some new collections that are just utterly lush :o Now I have to carry on saving!

At least I know what I want next - the Que Sera Sera papers are absolutely beautiful...

Whats the betting when you have saved enough for your wish, they will go and launch the next big thing. I am having to shut my eyes to all the gorgeous papers that are coming out telling myself to use what I have got, but its not easy or fair grr!! :D

Oh dear Welly, I know how you feel cuz sometimes I feel like that about Glenda - just when I think I might be catching up a little on my wish list of EI stamps she goes and launches a whole load more - frustrating innit!

There's always more to tempt us, probably testing our resolves. I need sit on my hands more often I keep saying yet the stuff get ordered anyway ! LOL

Having had a good look at the Que Sera Sera (only online, not "in the flesh") I think I prefer the Mira. Mira, to me, is more vibrant, whereas the QSS looks slightly muted and I'm also not terribly keen on some of the colour combos.

Don't you just hate it when they do that? I like them both, it's a tough choice Welly. My fave is the Blue Awning at the moment but I still have to buy any of it :rolleyes:

I bought the Blue Awning and Mira pad from Graphicus before Christmas, they are obviously quite different but equally gorgeous and I don't know if I'll ever have the heart to use any of them.

I gave up even thinking that I could ever own and more so use all of the gorgeous craft things that I want, my list is as long as my arm! I have separate wish lists fordifferent craft things - first the big things - replacing my Cricut when I can afford it, then the next big thing is a pink Bind It all. Then there is my paper/embellishment list, which is probably anything DCWV or K & Co. Then there is my stamp list, which is mostly Glendas but I also want the Ethel & Murray stamps and some of teh Crafters Companions Christmas stamps with teh mice. Then there is my DVD/CD list which again has lots of Glenda's stuff on it as well as the other Tim Holtz DVD.

And that doesn't even take me into things like the glimmer mists, paints, a melting pot......

Okay, have to calm down now as I'm over-excited just thinking about all of this.

I have so many K&Co papers, but think they are too pretty to use so just keep them to look at

K&Co is a big weakness of mine too. I wouldn't have a hope of naming all the kits I have bought... Hannah, Addison, Maison, Mira, Amy Butler (probably my favourite), Peppermint, the flower and gift bag kits, not to mention the various TSVs, several Brenda Walton scrapbooks and at least one bumper paper pack. I am currently hankering after Saffron - I just love those felt flowers and embroidered brads

I love the look of Wild Saffron too - & Urban Rhapsody :o I was very close to succumbing to the Peppermint Twist kit from QVC last Christmas but I was really good. And also in a lot of trouble with hubby of course :rolleyes:

My local craft shop (that I haven't visited for real, only online) has started a monthly kit this month. It is a K&Co beauty:
