A Happiness Blog Hop: Buy Some Happiness

Welcome to The Happiness Blog Hop!

You should have arrived from Your Memory Connection.
The Happiness Blog Hop is based on Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun and my interpretation of this book in my scrap happy project.

This month’s theme is Buy Some Happiness.

I’ve been on a quest to limit my scrapbook purchases. My paper trimmer needed a new blade and I did not want to have to place a larger order from Creative Memories just to beat the shipping rates. I opted to buy a Fiskars trimmer so that I could get blade refills at a wider variety of stores. I am bummed that so much of my scrapbook spending had to go towards a basic tool and spare blades ($33.48), but I think I made a good choice. This fits with the topic at a hand, in particular, buying needful things.

Because Two Peas offers free shipping at $50, I opted to increase my purchase to get the free shipping. This gave me an excuse to splurge ($26.94) on things like Hambly overlays.

What are your recent scrappy needful purchases and splurges?

Your next stop is Scrapping Mojo. Thanks for stopping by and hopping along!
