I resisted the Elle's Studio June release. It was hard becasue, NO PINK! So, Yay Me!
I do have the opportunity to go to Scrapbook Generation's B&M store this week, so I may have to give myself a reprieve (and a budget). I can't pass that up, right?

That certainly is some kind of Bondage & Masochism store, I say... "I can't leave before buying something... But I'm on a freeze! But I want to buy something, but I'm on a freeze! I'm stuck here, aaah!" I've been driving myself crazy by transferring my current PL from one album to another to try out different sizes. It's going nowhere but circles (and going cuckoo trying to reorganise everything) for me. I'm almost tempted to go 6x12 again but I'm stuck without 3x4 pocket pages. I'd need to buy the Fuse tool to turn all those pesky Design A into 3x4-pockets-only page protectors. And I don't want to spend 30€ on it. The ugh is real.

Son of a biscuit the SS warehouse box got me....I've never ordered one, and only had one of the lines. They are one of my favorites..back to the freezer for me...hopefully for a long time. Well, that was a pretty sweet deal. They almost got me too, but I realized I already had what I wanted from the lines they listed. It was hard to resist because SS is my jam. SS is my jam as well! I didn't have most of these lines though so I think it will be great, not that I needed anything else.....lol

I'm out. But I got the wave die I've been wanting for a really good price. I'll try to hold strong for the next three weeks. This seriously reminded of "The Contest" episode on Seinfeld. That was my intent. Hahaha.

OK, I'm in. I just used my gift card from Mother's Day. I cut my order down by at least half, before I hit the purchase button.

Almost halfway, everyone!! I have to admit that I've been "shopping" everywhere, even on sites I normally forget about, but I have yet to push that final "purchase" button. What is it about being prohibited from something that makes us want it THAT much more? By the way, did you know that ANYTHING can be addictive? *fidgeting like a junkie*

Enters confessional, bows headForgive me Pea scrappers, for I have sinned. The Dollar Tree had dreamcatcher stickers and hummingbird stickers (kraft paper with great detail, light glitter, and gems), and also InkJoy 4 packs of colored pens (blue, pink, purple, and I think green). I confess that I spent $3 on scrappy stuff during my freeze. Wipes forehead.Whew! I feel better.

Well I succumbed to ATG adhesive rolls at a great price. But those are necessary to use up my stash, so I gave myself permission.

Wanted to share a pic of the stickers and pens I bought at the Dollar Tree. I've really been into dreamcatchers lately, and I've always loved hummingbirds. And then pens I just couldn't pass up for a buck.

Count me among the fallen angels... I got a notification that the French online scrap store I still had some loyalty card money to spend at had the WRMK fuse tool back in stock so I bought it. I give up. I'm having too much fun with PL this year and won't be able to fit the year into a 6x8 considering the amount of pages I've filled so far so I'm going back to 6x12 but need the fuse to turn all those sturdy WRMK page protectors I have laying around into 3x4 pocket pages. I've been holding off buying it for over a year now. I gave in. I really dislike the result I got with the sewing machine too. ABCDEF it. I added a few extra things like the Fuseables mat with holster, a couple of pattern papers, adhesive and plain 6x12 pocket pages from BH to get to the amount that would allow me to receive a 10€ coupon for my next order. Sorry Frozen Peas! I'm not one to crack easily under pressure and didn't actually buy anything oooh-pretty! besides those two pattern papers but I've grown so frustrated with the 3x4 photos falling out of the page protectors every time I turn one around a little too enthusiastically. I just need to fuse those PP, properly transfer the rest of my 2017 album and move on. I hope it'll be worth the money...

I just purchased 2 new albums and some page protectors for an ongoing project. I don't consider those items "just for fun" though. I really want to get DS's school albums completed over the summer.

I was trying to be good but I'm done. I subbed to GB scrapbook and L.P. kits, bought a couple add ons for my AE subs, picked up a distress oxide ink to try (big heart eyes for That!), pre ordered the new stamp from Shimelle, ordered 2 stamps from AE and just hit the buy button for a new Epson PM400. Yikes! Back into the cooler for me!

And, the mat with holster was a game changer. I had trouble with the fuse when using a glass mat, but the fuse mat made a HUGE difference and improvement! My tip is to hold the tool mostly up and down (not angled like you hold a pen) to get better contact. Have fun!

LavenderLayoutLady I am loving the InkJoy pens. They write very smoothly. I hope you like them, too.

Organizing my scraproom is really helping me stay strong this month. I have too much stuff. And my room is full. Going to try to hold out until September. FJ almost got me with their thickers sale (thickers are the one thing I don't have too many of), but I held strong.

sleepingbooty if you can't do it, there really is no hope for the rest of us! It wasn't even a fun purchase. It was that or buying the only 3x4 page protectors (Echo Park) I could find in the EU and paying for shipping them from the Netherlands. Just enough page protectors for this year's PL came out more expensive than the fuse and the mat. Definitely back in the cooler for me. My TH for Tonic Studios stamp platform has arrived after two months of waiting and I'm in heaven. Angels are singing. Clouds taste of calorie-free candy. It does feel really bizarre to get such a luxurious scrap item coming in during a freeze, almost like I'm cheating...

I made my stop at Scrapbook Generation's store. It's so nice to get to browse a real LSS! Plus, their staff is always so friendly and helpful. I picked up a purchase I made on iNSD through their Bank It program, so that keeps me from spending another $50 to get to the free shipping threshold.
I was tempted by many things, but in the end I was able to use some coupons from previous purchases and only spent $1.83!! I call that a success!
That town (Springfield, MO) also has HL, JoAnn, Michaels and Tuesday Morning. I decided to not even go in any of them because I knew the deals would tempt me for things I really don't need.

I almost succumbed this morning, but having forgotten my password saved me. It gave me time to reconsider and I closed the website.

I am late joining the June freeze but count me in. I just spent way too much on a Simon Says Stamp order that I don't need so I think I need to stay away from the credit card and actually start making some stuff with what I have rather than buying more. In my defence I was going to sign up for a few months of kit clubs but now I will just use from the order I made for a bit.
