that was the last time I bought cardstock!! my goal was to purchase no more cardstock until the end of 2007 and I made it. I then started wondering just how long I COULD go without buying any cardstock. that day was yesterday!

I am still doing clean-up of those old layouts and I needed a certain color/texture to match the first page but didn't have it. trust me....I looked EVERYWHERE!!! anyway, I ended up buying 1 piece of cardstock. and since I did that I went ahead and ordered 50 sheets of Kraft from LM! Kraft is a basic though..... like adhesive, right?!?! so I am still feeling pretty good about not buying oodles of cardstock. oh.....but since I had to drive to the lss for that 1 piece of cardstock.....yeah.....well......I bought 2 sets of alpha rub-ons that LM was out of! lol!!
