So, I am on a mission to use all my scrapbook supplies/stuff before I buy more!! Now, I subscribe to three different scrapbook kit places. So, that doesn't count.:) But, that is all!! The only thing I can buy is adhesive and blades. I hope I can keep this going!! I just feel that I have so much stuff that I forget about what I have and then go buy more. Only to find out that I bought double!! Plus, we are somewhat strapped money wise right now and I'm sure this will help that situation! My husband will like this idea I know. Does anybody else feel this way?

This is what I've been doing. Only buying adhesive and say if I notice I have run out of something like Blue Ribbon, then I can go buy blue ribbon.
I even cancelled my kit club as I have so much here that just needs to be used!

Since getting the monthly kits for the design team at TSR, I've really cut back on my spending. That's good and all, but I've just been using what I get in my kits or whatever is in my stash...and there is so much cool stuff that came out for CHA that I want!!!!

Wonderful!! I got this done in August (and made it the whole month too!) PLUS, I was able to get 30 pages done too!
Of course... I've spent some in September... but have some good excuses... CS...well, I was out of those colors. Also, my LSS is going out of business and I had to (of course) take advantage of everything being 20% off. And then with SR going out of business... I had HAD to stock up a bit....
So yeah...I'm ready for a challenge. (Just let me know... I haven't gotten any Christmas paper yet and have very little to work with to do cards!)

Lately, I've been making cards for elizabeth to sell and I'm actually using Christmas cardstock from last year!!..I've continued making using the cut scrap pieces..yes, I'm trying to not spend...However...
I haven't bought anything in a couple of weeks....for me. Elizabeth is getting into scrapping and needs the basics, so....I'm getting the spending out of my system and I'm using up supplies I have....Oh, I've given her some stuff so my stuff will go faster and then I would HAVE to buy....

Don't get me to lyin, girl! You're on your own, but good luck with that!
LOL!
I really should, but I just can't make that promise - because then that is all I will think about and I will wake up with night sweats and all the companies will come out with brand new, limited one time, lines...breathe Trisha, breathe.....
