Get it used, you need an excuse to buy some new stuff !!

You're a bad influence Alison. I'm trying to be very good and not buy anything new now until I've made use of the vast amount of crafty stuff I've already got. Part of the reason I get stuck is because I have that much I can't decide what to use next. I have flowersoft from years ago that I want to try, loads of dies, stamps and enough card stock to open my own craft shop. I find myself thinking 'oh I want use that, no, I want to use that' and end up using nothing!

I am starting to use up scrapbook paper for my niece's scrapbook (not a huge one) for her first wedding anniversary which is in June. Gosh, to think this time last year I was busy making her wedding invites etc… First anniversary is paper so I think this is fitting.

I'm already thinking ahead to Christmas cards for the rescue too. I really want to get more fun crafting done this year - doing the wedding stuff was wonderful but it was stressful.
