How much do you spend on your scrapping each month? (probably about $20-30...it was A LOT more...but I stopped myself)

Do you budget yourself? (No not really, I just tell myself that I don't need it...use what you have)

Do you only use things from designers you CT for? (No)

Do you use only freebies? (No)

Do you do without things like McDonald's, cappucino, gum, candy...etc so that you can get digi-scrap stuff? (Not intentionally, but since I started srapping, I have found that other things I used to do have faded away...so frees up the extra money....the real money issue for me is not the digi supplies as the printing and me wanting my own printer and new computer...etc...)

Does your DH/SO know what you spend on your scrap stuff? (No, but he doesn't care...he knows that I am not going to overspend)

Do you buy only things you know you will use over and over? (No)

Do you sometimes use a kit or something only once then toss it? (yes)

Do you have so much stuff that you haven't even used it all? ( used to ...that's why I stopped spending...now I buy...it goes on my desktop and I won't move it until I use it!! then it can go on my EHD)

Do you sometimes go on a frenzy of buying, like you see a designer you never saw before and fall in love and buy all of their kits? (USED TO...but stopped so I wouldn't be spending so much)

Do you sometimes buy a kit or supply you already have? (No...I am pretty organized with my stuff...so I know what I have)

 

[snappy2003]

WOW, Linda, I admire your self control! I am not good at telling myself no LOL.

 

[hondachicc]

Well...when you don't work...you really can be more self controlled...YOU HAVE TO BE!! I do give up a lot to stay at home!!! and spending money is one of them...and being very cost conscious!!! sometimes I think I just want to go back to have money to blow...but...it is not what would really make me happy!!!

[clarabear]

How much do you spend on your scrapping each month? (very little these days. I'm on a few awesome CTs and just haven't felt the need to buy much anymore. Before that it varied)

Do you budget yourself? (absolutely)

Do you just buy whatever, whenever you want? (once in a great while if there is a great sale)

Do you only use things from designers you CT for? (No, but I like them and used them a lot before I was on their CT so now I don't only use their stuff but the majority of their stuff)

Do you do without things like McDonald's, cappucino, gum, candy...etc so that you can get digi-scrap stuff? (Not really)

Does your DH/SO know what you spend on your scrap stuff? (I don't spend much anymore so it no longer matters...although he would probably freak is her saw some of my spending totals from the past)

Do you only buy if it's on sale? (I try. That's when I actually spend more money...because I'm "saving" money so I better get everything I want while it is on sale)

Do you buy only things you know you will use over and over? (Haha, really? There is too much beautiful stuff to limit myself only to what I will use over and over)

Do you sometimes use a kit or something only once then toss it? (I don't toss it, but I usually only use a kit once or twice)

Do you have so much stuff that you haven't even used it all? ( Oh yeah. I have some great stuff that just sits not being used, and I forget about it. It is very sad.)

Do you sometimes go on a frenzy of buying, like you see a designer you never saw before and fall in love and buy all of their kits? (only if there is a great sale...and I would say all of their kits, but I will definately buy a chunk)

Do you sometimes buy a kit or supply you already have? (I have done this a couple of times, but not normally)
