I want to discipline myself to save up for those "modest splurges." I plan to attend a "Stamp Camp" in October, so I need to start setting aside money now. <br /><br />Stephanie- Yes, I plan to take our photo printing and photobooks out of the bugdet. I am not sure how to categorize these items if they are gifts though... I try to print with sales and coupon codes to stretch those dollars. <br /><br />I will plan to blog about my craft spending about once a month to keep myself accountable.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219468546302400908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495531826817231168.post-6940106862799860282011-08-01T13:59:05.743-04:002011-08-01T13:59:05.743-04:00I think your budget is a fabulous idea!

Seems that this summer I am interested in so many online classes, and I've been enjoying each and every one of them. But each class seems to introduce me to new supplies that I don't have (and want). I have been trying to keep new purchases to a minimum. It is truly a challenge for me, and I'm resolved to work harder at it.Valerie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787485348503649702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495531826817231168.post-40780508430059909542011-08-01T10:00:28.654-04:002011-08-01T10:00:28.654-04:00I would love to get to $40 a month!

What do you think?Stephanie Medley-Rathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09568613670263978603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495531826817231168.post-79851341128984848012011-08-01T09:45:58.442-04:002011-08-01T09:45:58.442-04:00I have been guilty of overbuying and when I took a...I have been guilty of overbuying and when I took a critical look at what I was buying and how I was using it, I discovered that that trendy thing I HAD to have typically goes unused. I'm trying hard to shift to buying only what I will use in the next few months. It's hard, but so worth it.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288606253671789813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495531826817231168.post-67389274677692388112011-08-01T09:41:50.978-04:002011-08-01T09:41:50.978-04:00I have had an adhesives drawer for years too &...I have had an adhesives drawer for years too & its one of the most used areas of my scrapbooking room.
