FREEZE!

It is August 1, 2009 and I am now on a FREEZE. Than means spending no more money on scrapbook supplies (cardstock and adhesive are excluded). I have more supplies than I know what to do with so it's time to start using them. It's not like I've been spending money lately anyway, but now I'm making it official. And with the purchase of a few sheets of cardstock I have enough holiday papers to make my own Christmas cards plus a bunch to sell - so all is good!

Along with this freeze I'm hoping to make cards and tags to sell in my ETSY shop. I enjoy the creating process but can't always find a use for the things I make, so I'm hoping someone else can. I have purchased enough things off Etsy in the past that it's time for me to make money instead of spending it! lol That's always how it goes, though, isn't it? Spending more than you make? hehe

so there you have it. I have put it in "writing" my pledge to "make more, spend less". Check back with me in a few months and see how it's going. All the new CHA releases will be hard to pass up :) but I'm sure I can do it - it's a scrappy diet!

I am right there with you Corey. I just bought my last 2 things yesterday because someone paid me to make a wedding album, brides brag book and a mother's brag book for a shower gift. I have to have them all done by Satuday which will be tough since I am going away tomorrow...scrapping is coming with me. lol Stay straight and don't buy!
