Buying Only What You Need

I caught a post today that related to holding yourself back at the craft store. I can relate.

In addition to scrapbooking, I also do also hobbies like painting and crochet. And for painting especially, I used to be obsessed with having fresh canvases on hand. I would buy them everytime I thought they were cheap, however, sometimes I didn't have time to paint and they just sat for a while collecting dust. That's not inspiring or smart.

Part of scrapbooking on the cheap is simply to buy only what you need. All too often we can get sucked into buying things just because they're inexpensive. But if we don't have a use for them, they take up space and become worthless.
