Honestly just wanted an excuse to use these cute shoe stamps. LOL This is also a little homage to the fact I pulled a muscle in my leg and been limping around. No cute shoes for me unless they are flats.

100% UIU
When I made my UIU pledge, I purposely made it hard on myself. I am very much a hoarder treasurer of art and craft supplies. While I knew cutting out all spending was unrealistic, it helped me to think twice about my purchases. Also in an effort to scale down my treasuring, I purged my unused supplies. I packed up several boxes and sent all the items away to be used. For those catching Ustreams, you know where they went. I also started joining challenges as encouragement and inspiration to use up my supplies. One of the reasons my supplies have been neglected is that I fell into a rut and didn't know what to create. Having a deadline also helps. LOL As for purchases, yes I have made a few this past month (eg. Dylusions sprays, Seasonal Distress Inks). But unlike in the past, I actually have been using what I purchased. So looking back, I have made great strides. The goal the rest of the year, continue to create even more, spend even less.
