We haven’t had a freezer thread in a while. It’s hard right now since there are posts about sales and grab bags and boxes and they’re so tempting. I caved and bought a couple so now I’m frozen for a few months. Anyone else?

I caved and bought a couple so now I’m frozen for a few months. Anyone else? I’m the same way. Felicity Jane isn’t releasing a new kit for June or July and it is my main kit for Project Life...so I treated myself to a Pink Fresh Grab-box to use for the next two months. (I actually passed on the FJ sale as I have everything FJ that I need). Now, I’m on a freeze for a couple of months. 😄👍 |

I need to be on freeze. I have a class at my LSS [45 min away] on June 3rd. I always buy something when I go to support them, because most of my shopping is done online. But I'll freeze until then.

I am going on a freeze after Sat. I'm going to the only LSS in the area Fri. night. I don't actually have anything I need, but that won't stop me from buying a few things.  My goal is to stay frozen until July 1 |

I bought the Maggie Holmes sticker book and some stitched dies a couple of months ago but otherwise I've been on a freeze for a while. It will continue at least through the summer.

I am semi-frozen. We have two huge trips coming up in June and July, so I am trying to be good (and also spending my scrappy budget on clothes for my trip!).

I hate to be cold.
I won’t freeze for a little while yet. It’s my birthday month, so I always go a little harder with the shopping.

I am kind of semi frozen but not intentionally. I get my citrus twist kit every month as well as AE SBTM and outside of that, I haven’t felt the need to buy anything. I’ve not been suckered in by any sales, and no product has really caught my eye.
I’m liking this feeling though of distancing myself from buying ALL THE THINGS !!!

I've been really good all year but after a couple of quite stressful weeks I stopped by a new to me LSS on my way home on Monday and felt compelled to do my bit to keep them in business. Of course I only needed adhesive. Then I caved on the FJ sale. Now it's back into the freezer for me.

I've been mostly frozen for more than six months now, ever since a change in job changed my income.
I've only been buying themed embellishments when a specific layout calls for it. Mostly at the Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart clearance.
For everything else, I've been pulling from my stash, which I can definitely see a dent in, which is nice.

I should be...I found the iNSD sales a bit too enticing and purchased a few things. I have a few more organizational things to buy before chilling out - some magnetic sheets, pouches, and page protectors.

Yeah, no. Not yet! I am going to a great craft store with a large scrapbook section (Crafts Direct in MN) on Saturday. Plus, my DD gave me a gift card to ACOT for Mother's day.
But, after that I will need a deep freeze.

I guess I am. I just received my 6 month stash of adhesive for my birthday from DH and my friend, so that is all I need right now. I have the Expo in late June so until then I will be frozen.
I am using some really old stuff, and making it work. I enjoy that. It really makes me happy to finally scrap something I bought something for long ago and hung onto it.
Recently I posted a 'meh' layout - nothing special. But it has a picture of my friend who is a blacksmith. During the 1976 bicentennial I got some notecards and one of them was a Get Well card that said 'Forging Ahead..." with a blacksmith hammering on the front. I saved it ever since then and finally used it on a page.
It's exciting to use up new stuff but getting to use something really old and it's perfect is really nice! |

I’m going on a freeze now. I’m out on medical leave and I don’t have income right now.

I thaw from time to time at Tuesday Morning. It helps that I haven't really liked any of the new releases. I find it kind of thrilling in scrappy nerd kind of way to use old paper but with current trends. I'm having fun and not feeling deprived. That is, until the next temptation anyway.
