I have cut out everything except for my subs, and am considering whether or not to let some of those go (I don't count adhesive, albums, or white card stock). I have really slacked on scrapbooking since my most recent baby, and I just can't keep up with anything. I'm hoping that if I don't buy more and I destash some of the paper I don't love, things will be more manageable.

I am doing this as well. The only things I am going to need are adhesives, photos (to continue on PL--I print at home for those so may need to get more ink and paper), and I do think I may need an album or two as I have goals to complete my PL and at least one regular scrapbook page per week.
The only thing that is tempting me though is the new Shimelle collection. I am not sure if I can stop myself from buying a couple items.

I'm doing well so far. Haven't bought anything, but might need to buy some adhesive and white cardstock soon. The challenge will be to only buy what I need, and not to be tempted by all the other beautiful things in my favourite store.

Okay, I fudged just a little bit. I bought a 97 cent pack of stickers because they will go perfectly with a few of my dd's layouts. It matches what she was for Halloween, and some stuff with her school functions. I justify those types of purchases by reasoning it will help me use up all the paper! However, I've used that excuse way too much. I don't need any embellishments or Thickers, no matter how cheap! I just have to keep myself out of TM.

I buy my adhesives on Amazon. I have occasionally purchased cardstock on Amazon, too. But, I usually buy it through an online scrapbook store.

Oh, believe me, buying online is just as difficult I'm easily tempted buy pretty stuff, unfortunately. I might actually ask DH to order for me

If I asked my DH to order for me, I might end up with Gorilla glue and newspaper, not adhesive and cardstock.

I'm in as well. I did buy a few things on my road trip this month (Echo Park Scoot collection kit, 2 packs of cardstock and a ColourBok paper pad) but I'm done now except for photos and adhesive (and maybe cardstock - but only if I run out of a colour)

I haven't posted but I'm in! Dh and I decided to do a no spend January ( other than groceries and gas) and boy its been hard! I do still have my AE sub and I did need to get more PL page protectors (used a coupon) I ended up reorganizing my patterned paper and found a whole lot of pretty paper that I forgot I had! It's almost like shopping, at least that's what I tell myself

Can I be in the refrigerator instead of the freezer? LOL!
I'm a card maker (digi scrapper, when I do scrap) so, I'm really going to try not to buy anything except for items that I really run out of. No new techniques or stamps or patterned paper. I do sub to the SSS Monthly card kit, but I'm considering canceling.

No new techniques or stamps or patterned paper. I do sub to the SSS Monthly card kit, but I'm considering canceling. Of course! If I was on vacation and there was a real brick and mortar store to visit, my freezer would be thawed a bit, I am sure.

Anyone else cave and buy some Basic Grey?
I ordered a collection, Olivia, on Amazon. I am not at all sure I'll actually get it, as I haven't received a shipping confirmation yet.
ETA - Yay! I got the shipping confirmation. I am feeling really nostalgic about BG.

Not meaning to be in the freezer, but I haven't purchased anything scrapbook related since last fall maybe even since last summer, until last night. I got a roll of K&Co gold foil paper.
I've been watching Wilna Furstenburg on You Tube and loved the layered Christmas tags she made. They are really fun & I wanted to do Valentines tags the same way. She used gold & silver die cut deer & snowflakes, so I wanted to do gold foil hearts on tags maybe.
