Well, I kept my goals from last month!
I didn't spend, but I did use a good bit of stash! I've been incorporating it into my journaling and mixed media projects, too!

I created roughly 20 layouts, a few cards, ATC/Altered playing cards, journal entries and so forth!
I kept getting into my stash and moving things around and getting into my hand made kits and I will admit that I had a LOT of downtime in July so it was ALL great times!
Spend Goals for August:
I WILL NEED adhesive THIS month! I'm getting adhesive for sure!
I'm undecided on whether or not to treat myself. I haven't bought anything since May, but have received Happy Mail since!
EVEN though I have TONS of kits left, AND TONS of stash that's NOT in a kit, I DESPERATELY want some VERY specific things.
I'm wrestling with getting at LEAST one of those things. (Yes, a paper collection! Lol!)
For MOST of what I want, I'm trying to wait until Black Friday. It's hard! But I have SO MUCH!
ESPECIALLY embellishments! Ephemera, die cuts, fussy cuts, hand made, store bought, gifted…
We shall see. I have flea meds to buy, and groceries, cleaning supplies.
Stash Busting Goals:
I'm STILL working on some unfinished projects/layouts. At LEAST one a month!! I would like to work on some unfinished mini albums, too. AND some more smaller pages for my random mini album that I haven't added to in quite a while!
I have several challenges I want to do- a LOT of these are going to be sketches and lifts - and hopefully I can get some specific layouts done! For layouts, I'm hoping for at LEAST 8 this month.
When it comes to my art journaling, etc, I'm going to continue to dive into my stash as well! Stickers and such! I don't have a specific number of journaling pages or cards planned.
REALLY getting into my stash often and rearranging certain things, changing up my kits and swapping out my embellishments by shopping my stash IS SUPER DUPER FUN! I LOVE when I'm looking for something specific (like little wooden people) but instead find long-lost items: like the perfect sticker or scrap for a project!
