We here at iLoveToCreate loved Vickie Howell's blog post on 25 signs that you may love to create, so we compiled some of our own. Thanks Vickie for inspiring us and others to join in talking about our crazy crafting obsession!

1. You buy jewelry just to take it apart, because you can't find that same bead elsewhere.

2. When you are at your local craft store, you answer product questions for people because you know more about the products than the actual employees do.

3. You go into a deep depression any time one of your favorite design/craft shows gets canceled.

4. You save gift cards after they are used up because you may need to use it in a future craft project!

5.
You have evidence of a Tacky Glue spill somewhere on your carpet.

7.
You look down and realize there is a flake of glitter in your cereal, coffee, etc.

8. You've ever had to worry about whether or not you left the glue gun on.

9. Nothing in your house or wardrobe is a basic color. Every pair of flip flops is glammed up and every table runner is painted with Soft Paint!

16. You've ever made an ornament out of a random found object (and then given it away as a gift!)
