For the second time in 10 days . . . as soon as I press the "Checkout" button, new stuff hits the shop. I placed an order last Thursday, more stuff came in and I placed another order today. So what happens? New stuff goes up today! Two orders in 10 days and my basket already has a good amount in it already!!
I don't mind, of course. I just need to learn to pace myself!!!
Cherry Crush
OCD is not an adjective. It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized. It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. 
I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son.

I've been on a spending freeze since my huge Black Friday sale and I'm still working on using that up. BUT, my wish list is growing and growing and I'm just waiting on a GREAT sale to place an order. Really wish we could use more cherry points on a single order too as that shipping is really holding me back lately.

I have been just as bad! I think I have already spent as much $ this year as I did ALL last year! I just got an order yesterday - the biggest I have ever placed in one shot, and my basket is already full of over $100 worth of stuff!

Carrie I have been on a freeze since January too. The only thing I have gotten is the new MME travel collection and the Tim Holtz distress collection. So far I am OK because there is nothing in the store I want yet.CarrieG wrote:enjoy!!! ive been on a spending freeze since the beginning of Jan....except for my MME preorder that shipped today (wasn't a huge order tho) and a couple tiny pre-orders I had done

I am finally off my freeze from last year! I placed an order about 3 weeks ago and have things in my basket now. I'm waiting to see what comes in the next few days, then I'll place the order. There are a couple of things that were out of stock and I am waiting for notifications for restock. I am sure they will come in right after I place my order. ha!!

Same here. I had a bunch of the new Little B washi tapes in my cart but they kept going out of stock so I finally placed the order with was was in stock because there were so few of each left (along with other things I had in my basket). After I placed that order the other ones I wanted came in stock but only a few of each came in, so I had to place another order (yes I just HAD to lol). Then I have my Doodlebug preorder I'm waiting on too. And more stuff keeps coming in that I like. Sigh.

Mine is too. Just hope they do not discontinue things before I get it. OK, so obviously it is not all brand new stuff but, Some of the Christmas Stuff etc. Cannot believe they have already discontinued stuff that seems to have just come out. Ok, I guess maybe it was last August.DN in MN wrote:LOL, Laura! I am on a shopping freeze right now so my wishlist is busting at the seams...can't wait to actually purchase!

I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure.

I too am somewhat in a spending freeze, but I have a huge wishlist and actually need to update my wishlist. So many wonderful new things I want. I am actually trying to challenge myself to use up some of my old stuff so that I can buy new, also gives me room for new stuff. Anyway, I opened a box that was still sealed from my move out here three and a half years ago, and I found some of my oldest scrapbooking stuff! Still in sealed packages!!!! Okay, better get to layouts.

I need a part-time job to pay for all that's on my wishlist and in my basket!

I've just put myself on a spending freeze. I purchased two albums last week and that's it for a while. I need to purchase some tape and then no more for awhile. I do have a pre-order for G45 I am waiting on. It's a good thing nothing so far has really spiked my interest. I'm not liking the colors of what's coming out in the vast majority of lines. Means I use up stash.
Rig count came out for January last week and I just sunk. Texas alone cut their rigs in half to just over four hundred rigs working. That is a huge job losses for the oilfield sector. And the count is down all across the country and will begin to slowly go down in the Gulf, too. If it wasn't for one customer who is drilling a deep water well in the Gulf we would be in a real bind. When they finish that well they have another to drill so it will keep us busy through this year. There is a buzz that this fall it will probably get better.
You might be delighted by the lower gas prices but it means huge job losses and if it stays down to long it could plunge the economy downward. Darn Russia then ISIS terrorists and then Saudi Arabia dumping oil on the market. Saudi did announce last week they would start to pull back their oil which is why price went up Friday. Believe it or not oil is a commodity and commodities can have wild swings. Oil has the worse swings. When price is up for oil it's good for our economy.....I know you might not think so but it is.

For once in my scrapping (only been at it about 4 years) I'm actually trying to limit myself as best as I can. The unfortunate part of it for me is that if I don't shop, I tend to not have an interest to actually use the things I already have. It's great for my bank account, not so much for my memory keeping! I have a decent sized cart, but since I don't have any more gift certificates and am back to spending completely from my 'allowance', I find it harder to click buy. Mostly it's because I have been trying to do for others and help with our budget for the baby (not shopping for scrappy stuffs allowed me to pay for the crib for our daughter due around the corner and also get my hubby a really special Christmas gift that was more than double our shopping budget all buy itself). I think my biggest issue is with shopping right now...I have no real place to put anything. I am TRYING to prioritize shopping for storage goodies before I start shopping like crazy.
On the upside, I am HOPING to enter into this week's sketch challenge with a collection that I HAD to have last summer and have yet to touch since I don't really scrap during pregnancies. It's the one layout that I want to get done before the baby arrives as it's a few of her ultrasound pictures.
