Can I be a Charter Member ? Flowers for you.

Well jrob maybe we should. I don't know how any body gets anything stitched.We are always chatting or collecting. But some of these girls keep posting finished item so~~~~~~~must be stitching in there sleep. Spring tulips and warm hugs to you

Happy to be S.A.D.D. Flowers for jrob.

Trying to sew today I am putting the Old Macdonald quilt together but have to stop every so often just to check in here *4U

Well that's me!! I have being off gathering more designs, MORE DESIGNS< MORE DESIGNS< MORE DESIGNS , I have dreams about sites that over flow with FREE designs, all you can download in mins. then I wait-up. flowers for all

Jrob, *please sign me up* - but only if it doesn't take up any of my time - I really, truly do *have to* download all those designs that are waiting in cyberspace for me, haha!!! Hugs and a flower for your suggestion sweetie, it's a good one.

Are you talking about me? you are giving a portrait of Letvia!!! JaJaJa Flower and XoXo

I'll help hunt. You can bag them. I feel like a big game hunter...just can't and don't want to quit. Sounds like a healthy addiction. Well at least it will be when I get spring cleaning done.

SADLY count me in but hey we could be addicted to much worse things
I wonder is it the actual downloading that we are addicted to or the beautiful community that has been developed here
Flowers for all my fellow addicts what ever it is we are addicted to****

OH how sad...I AM one of 'those' people... ;)

I guess you had better sign me up. I logged on to see what the "Cute Family" had been stitching and all the Q &A's because I have learned so much here. I made the mistake of going to the Bookmarks first--That was 2 hrs. ago. :) :)

My Chiropractor has "ordered" me OFF the computer as it is causing me too many problems with my neck. Does this mean I am already a member of SADD? Hmmm! How many designs have I sewn so far? 5! How many designs have I downloaded? I can't count that high!!! LOL! Maybe tomorrow I won't even turn on my pc, Yeah! Right! Am i going to stop breathing? Thank you all for letting me know I'm not alone in this. and Cyber roses for all, Meganne

UMMMMM i think i had better join this group although my sewing machine is happily sewing as i am on here at the moment anyway im sure we all have many designs that we may never use but hey they may be for JUSTIN justin case we need them hehehe happy downloading all oh and happy sewing when we get time :)*s for all

Hello jrob, I think we all are infected with this downloas virus and not for sewing them all out, but to have them just in case we can use them *4U

We may need that - My husband has started calling me the internet junkie - Not that just love to see what is out there, and can not pass up some of those freebies you all tell us about.

Libby has submitted the winning motto:
Happy to be S.A.D.D. ;)

SADD to say I am happy downloading. I have 4 permanent web sites up I constantly check (2 are freebies every 10 mins :D and a nother has freeby every 12 mins :D) You should see me rush from my emb mach to the comp to get the next freebies and check posts. Gr8 2b a multi-tasker :P

Oh dear answered in the wrong place! I didn't know what SADD was so I didn't now whether I was INfected with it! But yes I got it bad!

My daughter tells me that I am obsessed with embroidering but she doesnt realise that it is the collecting that is the addiction and there is not much time to sew them but I have forced myself to stop for a minute and get the birthday presents made. It is also very nice to get to sew them out and see how lovely they are and so they were worth the collecting and will be back soon to catch up on the sites that I go to and I have them emailed to me as well so have to check that everyday as well. lol. The funny thing is that it is not just me all the girls around the world are all doing the same thing at the same time only we cant see each other doing it. Sometimes I have to make time for the family in the busy scedule of design collecting. lol.

Yes, I am very much a member of S.A.D.D. Thank you for giving my new illness a title jrob. Is there any cure??

I'm happy to know that I'm not alone. I'm completely SADD! And the worst is that I'm not sad of being SADD! Thanks for enlightening my SADD day!

imagine if designs were sold like tupperware!!!!! You would be sitting there with the demonstrator saying "and if you get so many desings sold you get a free design, BUT if you sell so many designs and get this many party bookings you get the WHOLE WEBSITE HALF PRICE !!!!!! And if you start selling and recruit more addicts to "embroider-ware" you will end up making heaps of money and be driving around in a fully embroidered "embroider-ware" car !!!!!!!

So when is our first meeting? *4U

I had to hunt a posting to give you another flower.

I think it is safe to say all CUTIES qualify. I know I for one am a certifiable SADD..y!

I have the addiction too folks and since today I'm down with a bug I've spent all afternoon downloading and downloading..... I even forgot to fix dinner and hubby is now really protesting.. help!! but thanks to all that contribute at the bookmark section!!

Yesterday, I promised myself that I would ONLY download the things I had a specific project to use them on and then ONLY if I loved them. I am happy to say I ONLY downloaded 14 designs! I was such a good girl. hehehe ;)

ok gals, check this out I have downloaded so many freebies thanks to all you and my own snooping and designs by sick and on and on and on that my dh actually and really and truly put in a new and seperate drive in the computer just to house all the patterns. Aint he sweet. He gets rewards also tho, he is a jazz organist and his equipment does't come cheap either. As least I found a web site to download his sheet music!!!!!!!! Tadaaaa

Thank you for inviting me into your S.A.D.D. Group. It is one that I am definaly a charter member of. It is Sat morning, been up since 3 am and now it's 10:30. All I have done for the past 7 hours is download designs. (Except to get up for more coffee!!). I can't really sew right now as I can't use my left hand because of a pinched nerve, however, you only need the mouse (and I am right handed) to download. Imagine that, how convenient. I also don't work, so that gives me even more time to download. You cuties keep posting more web sites daily that have to be checked out and I think I got a message from Google last night that said "You have too many bookmarks. Please delete some". Or it said something like that! And now Yahoo is on my back about the number og groups that I am in. Yuppers, I am ADDICTED!!!! Thanks again for the invitation to S.A.D.D. Eric

This is a "Hoot"!!! Even if it was posted in March, I'm bringing it back to the top. We all need a good laugh.

I really do think so jrob. Of course that would include every doggone one of us wouldn't it?

A good posting to re-surface! Only a lot more members qualify!!!!! :):):):)

Has anyone done a headcount of how many S.A.D.D. members are out there? *4U

I definitely qualify to be a member! At least this addiction isn't fattening! *4U

I have been collecting for 9 years, oh when will I ever get to use all my designs, my DH can't understand how I can spend so much time just checking out free sites.
