How much paper?

Be honest; how much paper do you have in inches or feet? I am up to about 2 feet. Yikes!!

Let's see I am 5 foot 2 inches and I think if I stacked it all up....I couldn't see over it and it is still growing!!!!!!

Counting cardstock and paper stacks probably close to 2 feet also.

I don't have mine all in one place to actually measure it, but just guesstimating by looking at the various stashes, I have roughly 3 1/2 to 4 feet. I have lots and lots of paper, lol!

10 feet. My friends call me a paper ho.

I'm at least a 6 footer!
That includes pattern and cardstock.

I think I have between 2 and 3 feet. I think. I refuse to look too closely.

I keep my stash under 2 feet. This was not always the case. I purge regularly. My life and anxiety over so much stuff has been greatly reduced due to giving away the "extra."

I have about 6 feet but I didn't measure. I keep a inventory of all but the solid cardstock and this is over 5800 sheets. I might add that this does not count my 8 1/2 x 11 solid cardstock. I pat myself on the back for buying most on sale and honestly, if I was forced to purge right now there would not be a lot that I would truly want to give away. I have a niece that likes crafts so I feel pretty certain that once I do want to purge, she will want it and that makes me feel good. Plus my MIL scraps too.

Is that too much? Call me a Paper Ho if you want!

A little over 2 feet I would think.

4-5 feet in Florida but about 10 feet in Canada.

Of that over 1/2 is DCWV and American Crafts Cardstock. I am ADDICTED to Cardstock. I have to have it all.

About 2 feet and it is overwhelming me as I prepare for a crop and I am trying to decide what to bring!

I'm going to guess somewhere around 10 - 12 feet. That's 3 shelves on a bookcase plus some extra that are stacked and my Christmas paper, which is probably 1 1/2 ft. itself! I have a lot of paper!
It's a sickness!

It's so hard to resist cool papers! I do consider how I could use it, before I purchase.

Yes, and CHA is this weekend (right around the corner from my house), so we will have more paper to buy!!

Just a little bit jealous!

I probably have about two feet total and still never seem to have the exact color I'm looking for... hmmmmm?

• bonprof Said:

Oh my! are you going? Have you ever been before? I can't imagine! I've seen photos but I would probably be bouncing off the walls!

I am so embarassed. I have over 10 feet including pp and cardstock. I don't know when I got out of control so bad.

I not buying anything more (except for essentials) until I get it down to a manageable size. I do use it but just not fast enough. I am happy to say...I haven't bought anything since November. Keep your fingers crossed!

OH MY GOSH.............speaking of paper have you seen the new Graphic 45 collections that are coming out? Botanical Tea, By the Sea and Good Ol' Sport. I will want all three collections! I'm in real trouble here.....Mid to late February, I might as well start saving.

I think I probably have about 12-15 feet. I have a bookshelf that is completely full of paper and each shelf is about 3 feet with 5 shelves.

I am not going; its not open to the public, only members, vendors, etc. i think i would be overwhelmed!

You take the cake, Vae!! We love you! Xo

Mary, you take the cake too!! Bless you! Xo

About 2-3 feet of 12x12 cardstock and pp About a foot of other sizes. And I still have problems finding what I want in solid cardstock!!

I am thinking that I have between 7 to 8 feet of 12x12 pp and card stock. I so wish that you had not made me think of it. So glad that I made a promise not to buy more pp until I used up what I have. Unfortunately, I seem to have an addictive personality and so I break that promise too often. Why, oh why did I open this thread?

Mine is in separate containers, but maybe 3 feet?

• PhotobearSam Said:

So is that Canadian feet?

Canadian feet? Wouldn't that be in meters?

4' of pp, cardstock, and collections. ANNNNNDDDD, I just purged over 9" worth. And a huge box of old stickers.

And I bought 2 collections last week as a reward for my purging!!

• 950nancy Said:

It's the US/Canadian exchange rate!!

Let's just say I cant find a ruler!!

Truthfully, I estimate that I have about 4 feet of cardstock n paper. I just bought 6 new stacks the day after Christmas! But I finished two layouts today n used 9 pieces of paper, so I'm in the negative again n should probably go buy more, huh??

I have about 2 feet of everything: paper, card-stock, pads. The only things I'm not including are card blanks and the new packs of A4 card I just bought. I make a lot of cards.

LOL what a provoking question!

let me see... it's in expedit cubes, so that's about 14" high. 3 cubes full + cropper hopper (another 14") + another cube with page kits and cardstock. that makes it almost 6 feet.. yikes!

I love a good stash of paper...its as fulfilling as the first cup of coffee of the day...or wine, or beer, or diet coke...

DOUBLE AGREE! Love my stash!!

Chris, I am right there with you!! I have a good stash of paper and would hate to think how high it would be if it was all stacked in one spot!! I still find myself being as conservative as possible when using, cutting, tearing paper. I have gotten better about not saving paper smaller than 2 inches, but find myself wondering if there is some way to collect all the paper lint after distressing the edges and making my own paper!!

On closer inspection, I think I am closer to 3 feet than two. I managed to limit what I am bringing to the crop to about 14 inches. Excessive, but I didn't want to break up the stacks to just bring some of the papers. I also found a bunch that I will make available to my kids for their arts and crafts projects. Not quite getting it out of my stash, but a plan to get it used by _someone_!

Really???? You are evil.

P.S. Where can I get that botantical tea? LOL!

Let me send you a PM about this!!!

I don't know if I want to find out how much I have. It is stored all over my room. I am guessing 4-6 feet minimum. I just bought another 2 inches worth of paper today. I got a GC for Christmas and then the paper was 50% off.

I probably have 3-4 feet. It's funny when I come up with a pic and say, OMG, I have papers for that! I think I have papers I purchased when I first started scrapping about 9 yrs ago. I love, love, love paper!

Ok, I added to my feet yesterday. I went to the Archiver's going out of biz Just Because. I'm bummed thinking that will be the last time. What a great store. They totally blame the big boxes for going out of biz. I have to say that the big boxes were already in biz before them so their own biz plan is probably to blame, not the big guys. They had a lot of TH stamps sets but you can get those at a bigger discount elsewhere. Seriously IMO but some stuff is just overpriced in the first place and the margins end up not being enough for a small guy to make money. But Still it's a shame because they have inventory the big boxes never had.

So I got some G45 and TH at 25% off which is sort of unusual to see that on sale.

So, I just added a couple of inches! Yikes I didn't need it but I love it!

If I stacked all my cardstock and pp up, I would guesstimate that it would be between 2 and 3 feet high. Which is why I don't stack it up LOL!

About 3 feet here.

The new G45 is very very pretty. Really want the botanical tea.

I LOVE patterned paper. About 95% of my paper is patterned vs. solid card stock.

I thought I had a lot, but I probably have less than twelve inches. I have some catching up to do!

You've only just begun! It's a sickness.

I have about 24 inches of paper, sorted into containers.

However, I also have a 24 sq in box of beautiful chaos to finish sorting.

I'm not home to go try to figure it out but I think I have at least 10 of the wood paper holders from hobby lobby and they provable hold over a foot in each.... I did purge a hug box to share with friends!
