my take on scrapping accountability

I was inspired by some people over at http://www.lifetimemoments.com/ to start a scrapping accountability blog (you can visit their blogs by clicking the links to the right). Here it is. I suspect that I buy far more supplies than I use (ok, let's be honest, I know I buy far more supplies than I use). So for me this is about using the supplies I already have and not overbuying new supplies.

Here are the rules I will follow:
-all embellishments will be counted by the piece and by type (if I buy a pack and it says an approximate number this is the number I will use for the purchase amount)
-ribbon will be tracked in inches when used and yards when purchased
-paper/cardstock will be counted once for each new piece
-scraps will be counted once on a project (ie. if I make a set of cards and use the same scrap on all the cards it will be counted once; if the scrap goes back in the drawer it will be counted again the next time it's taken out)
-ink, paint, pens, stamps will be counted each time they are used and once for purchase
-stickers will be counted individually when used and by the pack when bought
-I'm not counting adhesive
-these rules are flexible and I will change/add things as needed
