Time's Up!

Today was my last day for shopping! So I spent my last $50 at the Scrapping Nook at their awesome 4th Anniversary Sale! Now the challenge begins! And what a challenge it will be.

I'm actually feeling kind of nervous about the whole thing! I've been getting a lot of great support from fellow scrapbookers, but there are those who want me to spend! They want to win the prize! LOL Some have offered (threatened?) to post or send me emails of sales and new products to tempt me.

Bring it on, Ladies!!! LOL

I'll be using this blog to post my struggles throughout the month of April on the various temptations I come across.

I know there's going to be alot of new items at the Nook that will challenge my will power, but I can do it! I can do this! I can do this! I can do this! At least I think I can! LOL

Wish me luck....or not!

Only Three Shopping Days Left...

until my April spending freeze starts. I'm going to try to extend this freeze to include NO SPENDING. PERIOD. So that means I can't buy anything, except the household essentials (groceries, etc). However, no shopping for scrapbook supplies, clothes, books -- anything.

I think I have picked up all the necessary scrapbook supplies I need to get me through the month.

However, the The Scrapping Nook is having a huge anniversary sale on Saturday, so I'll get my final spending in at that party, I'm sure!

And who knows...if it works, maybe I'll go a little longer...

NOT!

Wish me luck!

My April Challenge

I've decided to give myself a personal challenge -- to not spend any money during the month of April on scrapbooking supplies.

I LOVE shopping for scrapbook supplies, so this is going to be a HUGE challenge for me.

I posted a 'game' at The Scrapping Nook forum where participants can pick 5 dates that they think I'm going to cave in and buy something. Should I actually purchase anything, the ones who selected the right date -- or the closest date will get a prize (to be purchased after April 3oth, of course!).

So I thought that I would also create a blog where I can talk about the challenges I faced during the month -- assuming I even make it the whole way through!

I'm not good at blogging either, so that's a whole other challenge.

Anyways...stay tuned -- if you want to see if I pass or fail.

Feel free to try an 'tempt' me into purchasing something as well by posting links here to some really awesome scrapbooking item.
