Are you trying to be better about your spending habits -
or still stocking up???

Personally i need to use more of what I have and have even gone as far as to NOT renew my Sunday paper so I won't have to 'NOT WASTE' the Mike's coupon's (out of sight out of mind!)
 
I have quite a bit to catch up on, so I will probably be spending some $$ on stickers and paper here soon. Plus I will be buying a new album as it's a new year. I'm trying to decide if I want to do Tanzanite for 2004 or Plum...I did Tanzanite for 2003 and I love it and I think it would look pretty with Plum...(CM albums)
 
my goal is to use what I have...I have so much paper and stickers I can't see my self saying I really need this or that. Maybe plain card stock but that should be it...I am going to crop on the 17th and if i am lucky 2 during Feb...I want to get caught up on the piles of pictures and the only way I can do that is to keep my layouts simple and that is the easiest way to use up my over flowing supply of paper!
 
Spinning, I could not have said it better! I have plenty of paper, stickers, card stock, etc. to use before I really NEED any more :). Plus I have a bedroom full of photos & other items to scrap. So, I don't see myself going to either LSS any time soon (but you never know :) ).
 

Oh great. You guys are being good and I have Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket. (my MIL always gives money) Plus I have to buy sizzix dies for my new sizzix. And I must have the new heart punch from CM
 
I need to use my supplies also. DD and I have been really good the past couple of days. 9 pages between the 2 of us and zero $$$. I did spend $5 to day on some paper and soccer stickers. Didn't have any black paper or any soccer things so they were things I really will use for the boys soccer pics.
 
I'm determined to go on a Disney cruise in December so I have put myself on a strict scrap budget. $15.00 a month to be exact. And only purchase with coupons or when items are on sale. Now if I buy CM products that has to still stay within my budget. So I see handing my cousin money for a lay-away plan for those items. The children and I are putting away money in a vacation fund my mom has for us, all change will go in a family jar, and we will have a huge garage sale in the spring.

AUCK - I am doing HORRIBLE so far - lol!

I signed up for that club someone mentioned in CrazyforPoohs post - $19 (I don't think it is worth it either - I hope they get better - I will keep up with club scra- much more worth the money!

and I just made an online order of $40 in Bazzil paper (oh and one refill for my hermie ;) couldn't resist the great prices!

so that puts me at $59 and I know that Club Scrap Pizza Box is on its way soon for another $40

so we might as well just say $99
