LOL! I already cooked. I'm avoiding the dishes........
I've been very good lately but will be making up for it in a couple of weeks! Going to the Heirloom show in W. Springfield Mass the first weekend in June. I can't wait!
Just placed another large paper order with SU yesterday..it already shipped today. Really Rust and close to Cocoa are on BO. All the rest shipped!
blessings.
No purchases in the last six months, aside from adhesives. I thought I was going to shrivel up and die when that first month, but ya know, I'm feeling quite good about it now. I have been going through my older stashes of embellishments, etc. and finding that I probably can last another year or more without making a purchase. I am thinking of ways to save on copic ink by using different color mediums more often. Now, I am REALLY getting creative!
I pick up some nesties yesterday at ACMoore....but a package came today with some stamps that I ordered last week.....does that make me a 24hrs7daysAWeek girl??

OMG, over a week ago. I went to Hobby Lobby over the weekend and bought nothing!! And I tried to place a PTI order but they were out of the cloud die so I canceled the order. So, I have been trying to spend but without much success.

The sweet Birthday Princess from My Favorite Things Pure Innocence was in stock when I checked this morning. Felt the need to order her while I could since my princess is turning three this August.
I was doing so well by not buying much this year.......but I broke down in April and have not quit buying since. I guess my last purchase was yesterday as I purchased online.
Um, today. :oops: I (un)fortunately have AC Moore, Michael's and Joann's nearby. Today I just bought a roll of ribbon (like I need more) and some small oval mirrors which I glued inside the mint-tins I just received from
Gina K Designs, for little prom goodies for my DD and 2 of her friends. (I hope to post pics of those this week)
I rarely go out to lunch and I make my coffee at home, so I figure I deserve a little craft fix here and there!
My last purchase was for Ellen Hutson's Mother's Day sale. I bought a boatload of stuff from the Webster's Pages line. I've actually cut my purchases way down this year. Not doing as well as Holly, though! ;)
well, i had to vote 'today'.
i bought a plastic tupperware-type thing to store some supplies in, and also baby wipes.... they're not fun, but they ARE crafting necessities LOL
Friday. Had to grab a couple of Tim Holtz's new dies before my LSS ran out of them again!! (Not sure why the glimmer mist or the new sizzix die with the fruit on it made it into the basket too!)
I REALLY need to try Holly's approach! I have so many neglected stamps that I just HAD to have that could use some re-loving! And embellishments (not enough to last me a year, but none the less, they could last me a few months!!).
This past friday. I took a copic class at the local scrap store and bought 3 copics.
Total cost $30.00, totally affordable shopping day!!!!

The last order that I made was on May 1st, the Our Daily Bread release. I am on a self imposed buying restriction. I have made over 1200 cards for a craft sale on the 28th so depending on how much I make there I will be placing a few orders this weekend.

Good for you. I've been really good since I got laid off in September not to buy too much. 1. I don't have the money and 2. I don't need it. I've been using up old stuff and only buy if I have a project in mind. I made some boxes for the Physical Therapy office I fill in at and had everything on hand except the correct ribbon so I went to Joann's and bought 2 rolls, it was on sale for .50 cents each. Score!
Just over a week ago I placed an order with my friend and SU demo for some paper and ink refills that are retiring.
Yesteray I bought two dollar stamps from Michael's and two spools of ribbon from Dollar Tree. But otherwise I have been well behaved for the past couple of weeks. I cankeep on budget, but I really enjoy bargain shopping. I can't imagine going six months without buying anything!
I bought and downloaded some digital papers yesterday from the USA. No postage to pay to Australia - woo hoo! I have no craft stores nearby, so I have to buy everything on-line, and it's sooooo easy to just "add" more to your on-line basket - I think that if I actually went to a store, I might spend less $$$.

Wow, good for you! I've become more of a stash collector than anything; I may have to emulate you for a while, Lord knows I've got enough stuff to see me through a lifetime, if I'd just USE it!
