Do you think that I'm cheating??

Sets 283 to 288 (list below)

Do you see all the sets that I will be using in this post?  Sets 283 to 288 for my 2010 goal of making sure that all of my SU sets see ink.  That's six sets on one project!

I should be happier than I am, but I feel like I have cheated.

First, you should know - I DO NOT CHEAT...EVER. 

I take that back.  I cheated once in high school.  I never got caught, but I still feel awful about it.  I've used it as a cautionary tale to my children - all the great things in my youth, but one of my strongest memories is the bad feeling of cheating.

I don't think that I have technically cheated on my goal of using all of my sets.  The goal was simply to make sure every set saw ink - not every stamp in every set - just every set.
You should know that I'm starting to panic a little about finishing my goal.  I have a couple of days this week, then I am away for a week, then I have the week after Christmas and I still have a lot of sets left.  So when I sat down to do this gift set for my youngest son's teacher, I found sentiments from my remaining sets.  I feel quite guilty, because in all cases, the sentiments were the minor part of the set.  I ignored the gorgeous images that were really what the set was all about - I simply pulled a sentiment. 

Cheating or not, I am going to count these sets as "seeing ink"!

(And then I am going to get over myself!)
