What are the last few things you bought?

Mostly I have just been purchase kits to make on the FB virtual online events such as Volumne and One of a Kind. I also purchase a Stamplistic card class every one week for their live Friday evening card making class.

My dd needed acrylic paint, and Create-for-Less has free shipping if you spend $100, so I stocked up on cardstock...

I also pre-ordered Family Game Night by Simple Stories but it seems like it won't be here in May like originally planned (there aren't even any blog or Instagram posts showing it in use yet).

My most recent order was from ACOT. I got some Nuvo drops for my mom for mothers day. I got an album and page protectors. I also picked up a few clearance sheets of paper - they have a collection from Fancy Pants about traveling/airplanes that I scooped up on clearance.

I do very little shopping these days, but recently I bought more of the Queen & Co. Foundation dies. They just released some new ones. They work especially well for card making, but the Foundation dies can also be used for scrapbooking.

I just ordered the Sizzix Peony Pop-Up metal die that Miss Whidden uses in this video.

I also ordered several items and the paper pads from the new Pinkfresh Studio Happy Blooms collection.

TONS of Etsy cut file shops include pngs.

On their FB page! I don't see anywhere for me to grab a link to it directly, but if you go to their page & click on the "Announcements" tab, it's the first one that I see (dated May 25).

Thanks I definitely could leave them and nothing bad would happen, or do a little and then do something more fun. They're all cards that I started last year and ran out of steam on... and then the holiday passed me by and there was no rush any more... not much point in paying etsy to list my father's day cards the week of the holiday. One of the downsides of creative self-employment - it's all on me. But I just have to remember that the only real pressure is coming from inside my own head. 

Unfinished stuff just bugs me. I want it to be done. I just don't really want to do it! So I do something else.

It's fine. I'm just trying to figure out what I *should* be doing vs what I want to do right now, both in my fun crafting and in my crafting for money. Leaving things half done is totally my MO, but it also drives me crazy. I think I want a new supply but when I get it I realize I still have 10 other things I could be finishing, which is why I try not to buy things unless they are necessary and I'm ready to use them up asap. 

I bought some stamp sets from Everyday Explorers, a couple of her prompts sets, including the Christmas ones that sold out at Christmas time, and a music set. And an online lss here is closing down so I spent a little on some older Cocoa Vanilla lines (mostly pieces I've had and loved before or sheets I didn't buy from collections the first time around) along with the thinnest foam adhesive I've ever seen, if I'd known how thin it was going to be I would have bought way more.

When crafting straddles the line between want to and need to that seems like a difficult balance, at least sometimes.

Does it help at all to keep WIPs in containers so they’re neat with components together? Blanking on those really shallow plastic ones about 9x12 that stack and the lid flips open... ugh, holy brain. Not Iris. But you know what you’re doing, and brains do what they do.

Tell me more about this please! I'm all about thin dimension.

I honestly have no idea what it is, there's no header or anything, it's literally just a sheet of 1mm thick foam adhesive in a clear plastic bag. Sorry, that's not the slightest bit helpful!
