Share your shopping fix here!.
My first purchase is going to be a 12 inch paper trimmer/ Guillotine. I'm not sure which brand yet. but I am going shopping tomorrow. Anyone have a preference?
And maybe some SU cardstock
and some decent double sided tape. the last lot i got was cheap, but no where near as sticky as magic tape.
Come on, Enable me ladies. I am free to spend again:yay:
Sarah
PS Thanks Thanh for the motivation for no buy Feb. Is anyone starting a no-buy March?- count me out

Congrats on making it through the month! I should have done February as it's the shortest month! No way am I doing March - it's 31 days long!
I have an X-Acto guiltine paper cutter from Staples. I've had it for about 4 years and have had no trouble. Mine was the $45.00 one. They have one for around $60. that is bigger.
Have fun shopping - do share with us what you end up buying!

Go forth and shop! Do you have JoAnn's stores there? They have 40% off all papercrafting supplies through the end of the week--includes stamps, ink pads, punches, and embellishments too.

Nope, No Joanne's here, or michael's or wickedmart or Hobby Lobby. Just a few LSS and a spotlight (craft and fabric) store. AND most of all we don't ever ,ever get coupons. :cry2:
In Australia, just about the only place you can use coupons is in a Pizza store! How I envy your coupon crazy country!!

Congratulations ladies!! You did it and Im so proud!!!
I spent just under $25 for paper this past month. Yooray!! Thats so minimal on what I normally buy.
However, I feel a teensy bit guilty - I allowed myself $200 worth of spending from the db's allowance over last month and this month... and I feel like I cheated a little just because he was so generous. So I am going to hold off for a bit longer. Though I think I may put in a medium order of Bellas. hehehe...
