So, this is the biggest stash in the house and needs the strictest rules...
No buying ANYTHING except basics and replacements until 2017. So, let's decide what a basic is....
Basics are:
1) Adhesive
2) White, Black or Brown Cardstock. White is pretty self-explanatory, but I use black or brown for layering on my cards, so I consider those staples in my craft room.
That's it.
Replacements are only for replacement of staples - like Versamark, black ink, embossing powder, etc. These are the things that I currently have and if I use them so much I actually run out this year I can go ahead and repurchase, but ONLY if the original supply has been used. No additional colors or versions may be purchased.
I am still keeping my Silhouette subscription, but all other kit and card clubs have expired and will no be renewed.
This may sound a little harsh, but seriously, if you saw my craft room right now, you would understand. I have boxes and boxes of patterned paper, drawers full of embellishments, and a mountain of cardstock. I love what I have, and I'm interested in the challenge of rediscovering my stuff and actually using it.
I found Operation Write Home too late (sad face here), but I have located a few other places that need handmade cards and I'm looking forward to donating! I'll write more on my current stash-busting strategy at a later date.
