Default Met My Budget

Yippee .. budget was $75 and I spent $75.81
Got a lot of items (stitches, brushes, templates, papers, embellies) to push me into the real digi world -- didn't need a big push because thus far I truly love the digi way. I've done some basic photobooks but I'm so inspired by all the wonderful talent on DD that I want to do MORE. I'm always excited when I get an "orange" box but I know the next time I get one I will be even more excited.

Thanks to all for a wonderful chat yesterday -- my butt is numb, my wrist is aching, and my eyes are still blurry but it was all worth it

Isn't it fun??? I always loved the chats! Good for you meeting your budget, you did great and I am sure you found a bunch of awesome things for that kind of money. It will last forever! (of course there is always new stuff that will lure you in heehee)

Yes-the new stuff!!! Anke-you are so right!
Great job staying within your budget-I am still deciding what my budget should be-well I know what it SHOULD be, but now am just struggling with what I WILL allow it to be!

Perhaps the next series of chats you can do one on 'Staying within my budget' I could sure use that info :-)

I had a budget of $20, I think I went a few dollars over. I could not resist Anna's Stitched Overlays No. 1 and No. 2, and then that mean lady came out with a No. 3!?! Well, at least DH knows what "Click Creative" charges are now.

I had a budget-and didnt go over by much, because I finally rationalized the fact that the amount I spent was only a few more dollars than my deductable for going to the ortho doc! And I have to do that a few more times-So, in my mind I just spent another deductable that will finally give me pleasure instead of discomfort!!

I had a $20 budget too and I had so many other things that I had to edit down quite a bit. I'm still a traditional scrapper too so I picked things I could use for both.

I am only half way through my budget, but with soooo many items on my wish list, I just can't decide. Better make the decision quick, as sales almost over.

I was just sitting here wondering if I was the only one struggling with what to get and what to cut to stay in budget. There are just TOO MANY fun things here!!
