I’ve had a problem with burning through supplies as far back as I can remember. When I was a kid I’d draw until there wasn’t any paper left. I loved getting my hands on the good stuff. That was my mom’s clean white typing paper. It grabbed the graphite like nothing else. High contrast too, not like newsprint. I still have this problem when I receive a shipment of supplies. I can’t seem to stop reaching for the next canvas and putting something on it.
That is how my daughters are. They go through thousands of sheets of paper. I am the opposite, so stingy that if I am knitting a project I weigh out “just” the amount of yarn that needs dyeing.
