February 2008 - 29 days/29 dollars challenge

[PrincessNancy96]

I don't have time to go out until this challenge w/ all the kids' activities...so I'm gonna get a list ready...and there better be some darn good sales... or I'm gonna be a bit grumpy!!!

Thanks for extending the dates BAMB- I just realized that DD's 8th birthday party is the 1st, so I can only bet that the 29th will be spent running around doing last minute things. My reward??? (besides my sweet DD having the best birthday party ever)----- shopping on the 2nd!

y'all are too funny. naturally I like lisa's idea of 29$ x4 since it does only happen every 4 years... Wonder if there will be any new studio g $ stamps by then? Now that I've cleaned out the scraproom and my stuff no longer has stuff maybe by then I'll "need" something. maggie

I've been trying to decide if I want to buy those stamps I have never stamped before so I suppose its a good start They are adorable.

I'm planning........

Might go look at SYT as they have a new custom diecut I could get for my travel scrapbook

 

[Lisa]

Okay, today is the big day! and I've started my shopping!!!

You ladies know there is no way I can conform and go with only $29. My brain just thinks leap year, only once every four years, I get to spend $29 x 4. Blame it on a miswired brain function.

So far, I have pre-ordered the Home Accent Cricut Cart. LOVE IT! Even more than the Essential Accents I wanted, but that was going for $119. I don't think so. The Home Accent cart was $44.99.

Off to comtemplate what other goodies to look into.

Hmm, maybe I can still do this on-line? Have to think about this.

 

[MazdaUK]

I'm glad I'm exempted from shipping - I'm spending WAY more on shipping than goods! I can understand with 12x12 papers but I've ordered only 3 little items from SYT and the shipping is way over - I might e-mail them on this, but I am getting a custom die cut so maybe its 12". So from little scrapbox I have:

1 x Bazzill Eyelets – Brown Round (HHREBR) = $1.50
1 x Bazzill Eyelets – Blackberry Round (HHREBB) = $1.50
1 x Gretel Paper Crafting Kit (pp167) = $8.50
1 x Brenda Walton - Brookfield Alphabet Chipboard (565081) = $3.00
1 x Autumn Collection Paper Pack (17107) = $8.00
Total $22.50

From Scrap Your Trip I have
"World travels of..." custom diecut (with my name!) $5.75
Russia cardstock stickers $2.50
Brazil mini tag $0.13 (yes, I couldn't believe it either!)
Total $8.38

Grand total $30.88 - I think I should be allowed the extra as the eyelets are to replace what I've used on swaps

So I suppose I can't get a cuttlebug now

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

psst, go put the cuttlebug on that list of things you said you could buy at the beginning of the BAN.

 

[lewdyan1]

I'm going shopping!!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I need to decide if I should go shopping. DH is spending $8000 on a motor for the Mini. Hey Mazda, I'll trade you shipping costs, mine are £345.

I think might use my $29 towards my deposit for SDV. I'm skipping the bus tour, again!

 

[hopemax]

I don't think I will get to do my shopping today. I might go to the one LSS tomorrow, otherwise I might just wait until March 29th and do my shopping there instead of here.

 

[mommy2mrb]

I am planning on going to my fav LSS, its a 40 minute drive, but so worth it!

Have fun today shopping everyone!

 

[TPCShauna]

psst, go put the cuttlebug on that list of things you said you could buy at the beginning of the BAN.

Get thee to the naughty mat, temptress!

 

[TPCShauna]

I will be shopping this evening as my LSS with the giant Bazzill section has a 24% sale today. I will probably go over my $29 though as I will be stocking up on supplies to keep myself busy for the upcoming month.

Happy shopping, y'all!

 

[mommy2mrb]

Shauna, I'm sure we can give you a break from the Ban due to you being laid up for so long, so go crazy girl

So here is my list of goodies I got today, unfortunately I can not figure out how to post pictures.......I really need DH to help me figure it out, I am not very computer savvy, so here they are............

EK success Mickey photo corners $2.99
Doodlebug design paper frills (borders) $3.99
Castle Brads $2.99
Galloping Horse Products Disney
