Stash buying rules
01/01/08 16:02 Filed in: Stash | Scrapbooking
In a bid to use more and buy less, I've joined a
group on UK Scrappers where we help each other to
spend less on stash until we've made inroads into
what we actually have! The rules I've come up with
are:
- Proper consumables can be bought just before
they run out (this is basically things that hold
other things together in a major way - so glue,
dst, o-wires and possibly staples for my
Fastenator. Plus ink.)
- I do not need any more rubber stamps
- A maximum of £10 per month can be spent on
"bits", any left over can be rolled over to the
next month
- Money not spent on snacks and extravagent
lunches can add to this (and so help encourage me
to stick to my other diet!)
- Where possible all purchases will be made from
an LSS, not online.
- Magazines currently subscribed to stay
subscribed to.
- Paper I do not like can be turned into cards or
envelopes or otherwise used creatively
- Honestly, I do not need any more rubber stamps.
- I will not buy any more albums, or covers,
until I have completed 4 full albums.
- I will not buy any more sodding journals etc to
alter because that's why I have the BIA. Even if
they are nice.
- No, really, I have plenty of rubber stamps
- I will start scrap journalling properly - I
have no reason to feel embarassed about doing so
- I will only do ATC swaps, and I will not prowl the boards looking for new ones to join as soon as I've done one
