When you name the most uses for empty cardboard boxes on your recycling test at school. When you hang out with the janitor just to get all of those empty cardboard treasures!

. . . when someone asks you to hand them the glue gun, and you say, "Which one?"

When you skulk around in the trees looking for dry moss and lichen, dead twigs, old seed pods and anything else that will look good on a map tile.
When you pick up a plastic bag full of broken and powdered mortar chunks and immediately see rocks, desert sand, river beds, etc.. grin and squirrel it away in the craft den.
When you idly make lists of crafting materials you want for your 'dream set up' in your spare time at work.

You move house and offices in order to have an excuse to buy 40 large double ply storage boxes, then unpack fast so you can covert them into MegaDungeon before game night rolls around...

When you view hot glue gun burns as leveling up When you figure out to use +1 leather gloves to avoid burning your hands, and used glue sticks level you up instead.

When you view hot glue gun burns as leveling up If true, then I hit level 2 over the weekend working on the 2nd tile of my first ever 2.5D method project. So... Ding! Also: ...when your wife's scrapbooking supply cabinet suddenly becomes interesting.

When you cut yourself with Xacto knives, and are more upset about loosing valuable time for work on you r project, and blood is just an annoyance. Of course you now have authentic bloodstains on your terrain, so not a complete waste of time after all! Bandages? We don't need no stinking bandages!
By the way, I'm still waiting to drop an Xacto into my foot or leg and have it stick like Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein.....

By the way, I'm still waiting to drop an Xacto into my foot or leg and have it stick like Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein..... A few years ago I was converting a lot of HeroClix figures into useable minis for my Champions campaign; this involved a lot of rebasing, body part swapping, etc. Lots of Xacto knife work to say the least. I ended up performing outpatient procedures on my finger tips on a nightly basis, but the primary adhesive for these projects was usually superglue, which did a great job of sealing wounds if you just... you know... pushed them back closed long enough to apply.... I should probably mention here that I'm not a doctor. Anyway, somehow I doubt that hot glue would produce as-favorable results. </tangent>

...you go to Hobby Lobby 3+ times a week to buy just one item with the 40% off coupon. Or maybe that's when you know you're too broke to be spending all this money on crafting.

When your 6 year old and 9 year old daughters tell all their friends and teachers you have giant worms....
When your children's friends stop by to see what you are making....
When people you know ask if you want to go through their storage/basement/garage stuff before they do looking for items to use....
When the people at the local craft stores, home improvement stores, and dollar stores know your name....
When your wife's co-workers ask her if you need more boxes yet, since they are saving them for you....
When the smell of hot glue gets you more energized than any caffeinated beverage....
You tell people who are moving in next door to just bring you their empty boxes....
You lie and tell people that the garbage men refuse to take any and all cardboard, but you would be willing to take it to a "recycling center" for them....
When your wife tells you "you had better find a place to store all this damn cardboard or I am leaving you"....
When you rent a storage space in your apartment building just for your crafting supplies....

when you go to the store and see the leftover Halloween candy on sale, and you think about buying the fine chocolates in the gold and silver foil, but you don't buy them for the chocolates themselves. You buy them for the foil which you can use as the under base for your treasure piles
