Every other Friday, I try to write a post about Minimalist Scrapbooking.
So much for $60 a month on scrapbook supplies. 2012 has not been good on the scrapbooking pocketbook. January was bad. Really bad. (And I placed an order of $57.14 at stopandscrap.com on January 31 after I published the January spending madness.) February was not much better:
- $160.03 at Archiver’s (keep in mind I get to an Archiver’s about once a year)
- $40.42 on another CHA-pre-order from stopandscrap.com
- $3.18 on prints for Take Twelve Photo Challenge
February’s Total: $203.63
March was better:
- $3.18 on prints for Take Twelve Photo Challenge
- $48.20 at a local scrapbook store I had not been to before
March’s Total: $109.58
My monthly average since I started keeping track of this spending last April is up to $188.76. So it seems $60 a month is wishful thinking. Perhaps $100 a month is more realistic. What I do know is this: I must get back to minimalist scrapbooking for a bit. I need to get back to buying prints, adhesive, and tools as they need replaced and stop with the other stuff for the moment.
