15% off Store Wide

Announcement:

There’s a 15% off sale store wide on my Etsy store Photocardsbeauty for the next week!

These cards are to write messages from your heart into and send to people you cherish.

It should come up automatically, but if it doesn’t just use the code AUTUMNSALE20 (yes, I live in Australia where it’s the end of the summer).

The link is in the ribbon above, OR here’s another link:

Happy shopping!

To buy or not to buy…

“Urges are like bubbles in a lemonade glass. If you leave the lemonade glass on the counter and go back to it the next day, [there are] not so many urges, not so many bubbles.”

Professor Mike Kyrios, a clinical psychologist from Flinders University

Loved this article from the ABC news about how to buy less stuff online. This is good advice, and also a good article.

Thanks ABC.

It’s so exciting when new art materials come in the mail! It pays to be careful of what you buy and how often though. Surf those urges!

Three Things Challenge #M28

This is my response to the three things challenge from pensivity101

Shopping: Bargain, Parking, Shelf

Contractual relationships– our lives are governed by parameters and hierarchies. Breaking free of it leaves me breathless, searching out: faith, friendship, family, and work that serves the community.

And I know that Kmart doesn’t pay their workers right, but I catch myself searching for bargains. Who can resist those $2 bouncy balls?

Always hurrying my shopping so I don’t have to pay for parking, adding one more book to shelves crammed with books and ornaments.

Then complaining that I don’t have enough.

In reality there’s plenty of honey in the cupboard; I’m safe.
