Challenge: Shop at Home First

(I give credit to a great site called "Cindy's Porch" for this concept!)

Over the last few days, I've really wanted to get some nice journals to write in. After discovering the ones I like are all about $10 or so each, I decided to check my school supply stash, and found a pile of forgotten spiral notebooks. I dipped into my scrapbooking supplies (which NEED to get used, I have way too much that I bought last year) and dolled up four notebooks to use as journals! This cost me a negligible amount, but really it cost nothing because the money was already spent for the scrapbook paper.

Anyway, I thought this would make a fun challenge, to shop at home FIRST, before considering purchasing something new.

Anyone else done this recently?

I'm doing the opposite right now I'm letting others shop here... in efforts of getting RID of everything...

Now about those journals... lets see!!!! I love seeing other peoples creativity

this is a great idea. we have so much junk in the house that i could probably really benefit from this technique!

Sure - they're not that creative, though! I just happened to have some gorgeous papers that I was waiting on just the right thing to use them on.

Super cute!! I bet you could sell those to pre-teen ms/hs girls and make a killing!
