After being inspired by reading about catseatcheese going an entire year with no scrapbook purchases, I am going to do a self-imposed No Spend January (and if it goes well, then I will be extending my own no-spend time!) I will be allowing myself to purchase glue - but you can set your own limits as to if you will allow yourself any leeway. Anyone interested in joining me?

I know I definitely should...I've been thinking I need to broaden this beyond just scrapbooking stuff, so I am in.

I've thought about it but I just couldn't
I am going to be way more particular about my purchases this year

I am currently frozen. My last scrapbook purchase was November 27th...lol.
Anyway...my plan is to remain frozen until one of my LSS's have a yard sale. Late January early February. I will TRY to show restraint even then, but I swear I become a crazed lunatic and buy all the goodies I can.
I'd love to join your group. I have no plans to purchase anything. I'll even refrain from buying ATG tape because I have plenty of my favorite glue. No albums or sheet protectors, either. That could potentially hurt more than anything else!
I forgot to mention that I will be ordering pictures during this freeze!

I'm in. I have patterned paper that no longer fits in my storage space and my alpha drawer is stuffed to overflowing so they are at least two areas I need to work on reducing my stash in.
I shouldn't need to purchase anything but I will let myself buy adhesive if I run out.

Well, I can't honestly say I'm "interested" in a no spend January but since DH is probably going to be unemployed once again I think I will be forced into it. Maybe if I think of it as self-imposed it won't make me so cranky!

I will with one exception, I sub to citrus twist and don't want to quit. I don't buy any add ons. I'll not spend on anything but that, albums and page protectors. I was going to do this last January but didn't. I'm going to be good and use what I have

I want to say yes, but..... January is when I buy the rest of my Christmas scrapping supplies, 50%-70% off. I'm going to order photos. I'm going to spend any gift cards that I get (do g/c's count?) If I need adhesive, I'm going to buy that too. But other than all that, I'm in!

I would totally be up for this as long as I could buy adhesive and cardstock. I've been really wanting to spend some time just using what I have!

I'm in - with adhesive and photo printing exceptions (although I might be able to make it through January without those depending on how much I scrap)

No one off kit purchases from other companies for me either.

LavenderLayoutLady and maryjoYou can set your own perimeters. I originally wanted to only buy adhesive, but I do already get the Felicity Jane kit. So I will keep that BUT I will not get any add ons or one off kits from anywhere else.

I'll try too. I sub to the Simon card kit, but I don't get it every month. If I like it, I'll get it. Other that than that, I'm good!

I'm in. Especially after some big Black Friday shopping. I reserve the right to buy white card stock and adhesive but, unless I somehow get into a 1,320 hour card making marathon between now and then, I should have more than enough to get me through to February.

I'm in - partly because it's going to be enforced anyway since I'll be on vacation and partly I want to get into a good habit for the rest of the year. I'll allow myself one SB main sub (no extras) but apart from that no purchases except adhesives! I'd like it keep it going for several months.

I wat to start out with January - but (hopefully) can keep it up for several months.

I'm In with the exception of adhesive, cardstock, possibly albums and considering a Gossamer Blue kit but that can probably wait.

I am not buying anything in December. There is nothing I want nor need. I got my laminator at the end of November so I am good for that.
Can I have a modest budget for January instead of cold turkey? Say $50? or $100? But truly I need nothing. I might want to get my inserts from Cocoa Daisy at the end of December. I haven't decided yet. Maybe?
