At 8 weeks, I'm officially 2/3 of the way through my shopping hiatus and I think I've hit my stride. I even set foot in a boutique last week and managed to not feel a serious tug of temptation. Well, maybe there was some temptation (super soft long sleeve striped shirts were involved), but there was no conflict. I'm definitely feeling like I can make it through the next month.

This week, I have a little bit of cooking (finally!), possibly some crafting, and maybe I'll even torture you with yet another cupcake recipe, if you don't think it will be too much to handle two weeks in a row.
