The last thing I bought was a $5 Timeless Template from Lauren Meader on Jan 1st!!!
I'm rolling over the remaining $45 from my January stamping budget into February plus, with my $10 left from December, I have $105 burning a hole in my pocket. (Good grief, I'm a junkie!!)
Anyway, in the last 2 days I have filled shopping carts or made lists with competing products.
One is an SU list with Fifth Avenue florals and one is a list at Stampers Dreams with some Northwood stamps. Oh, and the third list is at Impression Obsession. Oh, and a fourth list for more fabulous silk ribbon from Startlit Studio.
But, I'm afraid to buy anything for fear I'll regret it when Papertrey releases it new stuff on Feb 15th. And then on the 15th I'm afraid if I spend my money, I'll go into the stamping shakes and need a tranquilizer to make it until March!
Does anyone else think like this?? LOL

LOL! You crack me up, Joan. I too live on a budget ...
Copics and now paper to go along with them (SU! paper doesn't work with Copics :( ) (Warning: If you're on a limited budget and haven't been bitten by the Copic bug, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT go to any make n take or workshop where you will be introduced to Copics!!!!)

I just finished my "collection" of the SU in-colors. I also got a new set called "Thoughts and Prayers" - very exciting that it was back in stock just in time for my SAB order! I got a few new punches, too. And with all that, I got 3 new SAB sets. (woo hoo!)
I currently have my eye on some metallic cardstock that is very much like the metallics SU carries or carried (they don't have copper anymore) and am considering some new Copics.

LOL! I totally and completely can relate. I have a PTI GC just waiting to be used and I've held off a couple weeks so far. I don't know if I can hold on another 9 days.

I just got back from our monthly SU workshop.....six cards for $9.00. I'm soooo happy with what I ordered. I'm trying to use more of the sets I have. I don't have as many sets as some ladies....(about 55) but really want to order more ribbon, emboss,etc. I got dazzling diamonds, choc. chip paper, kraft paper, the long scallop punch, old olive ribbon and the best find, which I hadn't noticed till tonight....single stamps on the last page next to the back cover. A sweet little silhouette (flowers) for $8.00....so I got my stamp fix! Also, picked the two-step "free" saleabration set....a flower. So I got a second stamp fix..I'm so excited to start making cards with kraft and white emboss and possibly baja breeze...I've not used kraft before and have seen some beautiful examples on SCS. Well, blaaa, blaaa, blaaaa...I must be on a stampin high left over from the evening.....We also offered a stamping workshop through my job last...a ladies night out...I work at a family resource center. We offered five cards, treats, chai latte, spiced cider, and two cute party favors all for FREE...what a wonderful night....

I just got the Bright Delights Rub-Ons from SU. I love them!! They are so much fun to work with. Here are my cards, if you want more info, you can check my blog at www.barbstamps.com
I just received my latest ebay purchases! Several bunches of fun fibers & ribbons.
I also decided to put the Primas and snowflakesthat I already have in a larger storage box. I'm waiting for my other ebay purchase of 400 primas to arrive.
I also got some of the CD tins to alter and a few of the turquoise metal tins with the clear top. I put my Cuttlebug folders, dies and Nesties in there.
I think I'm going to put all of my buttons in 1 also.
OOOPS!! As you can see, I have the links mixed up!! Sorry!!

I bought lots of SU stuff. Trendy trees, Cheep Talk, Good Friend stamp sets. Rockabilly DSP, Corduroy (sp) Buttons, Button Latte, The bird and owl chipboard (can't remember the name at the moment), some craft ink spots.
I also got An October Afternoon stamp set. The "school" one. Love their stamp sets.
Off to look at the that bucket again...may have to add that to my list!!
Hi!
I found all three of the Inkadinkadoo clear stamps sets at Costco marked down from $19.97 to $9.97 each. I bought all 3 sets. They are really cute, and different from a lot of the stamps that I already have so they'll fit in nicely. I am hoping to get to Michael's this weekend, but I'm not sure, weather depending.
My last purchase was from Papertrey Ink. I got two sets, Around and About Sentiments (what a cute and versatile set!) and Quilter's Sampler Additions. I also got a big package of their new True Black cardstock (really fabulous), a True Black inkpad and a Dark Chocolate inkpad. I've been an SU girl for a really long time and I LOVE their products. But Papertrey is awesome and I just can't resist!

I am, for the most part, and SU! girl. But I just bought a lighthouse stamp set, Keep My Lamp Burning, from Our Daily Bread designs. I saw so many gorgeous examples of card made with that set and just had to have it! I am so glad I ordered it too....it really is beautiful. It will be perfect for making a birthday card for my adult son and for my husband.
Three sets, plus one set free when you bought three, of Gina K stamps when the Curd Herd had a get together, and visited her open house last weekend. Gina has so many cute card samples at the shop that it would have been easy to buy even more, but I tried to be good.
I bought the square nestabilities set (all four) from Cut at Home last night. The week before I got 4 new stamp sets from Stampin Up, Bitty Birthdays, Trendy Trees, Pocket Silhoettes and then one of the new SAB sets. Oh and I almonst forgot that I bought the crop a dile last weekend at Hobby Lobby.
I really needed some EZ Mount foam and got it from Paper Garden Projects. The foam would have been lonely in transit, so I got some Chocolate Core'Dinations cardstock, and a few other odds and ends to keep it company.
Then, I HAD to have the new Penguins, Limited Edition kit from Odd Bird Planet because one can never have too many penguins. Don'tchaknow that a bunch of other stuff jumped into my cart to keep the Penguins company on their long trip from the West Coast to the East Coast???
My latest purchase was from www.limelightpapercrafts.com
Got a new Unity set: Shine On...a new OBP stamp: skating penguin...
pearls, rhinestones (she has THE BEST price on these)...paper...alterable clock...etc.
She has SUPAH FAST shipping too! Like..next day!

Lots of SU DSPs that are arriving on Tuesday...hehehehe...with those cute bird sets Cheep Talk and Good Friend...oh and the die cut chipboard sheets that match...oh and that cute tree set Trendy Trees...I can't wait :-D
Funny you should ask...I placed a 300.00 order at a Stampin Up club that we're starting at a LSS. I got tons of free stuff including everything in the salebration catalog. I also got 35.00 to spend on anything in the catalog and a level 2 hostess item. I got home and went to the ribbon site and ordered ribbon to match all of the designer paper I ordered. I wrapped change to place that order. I'm so excited to finally have a local su demo in our area. I shouldn't have any trouble coordinating my paper any more.
I'm saving up to buy the second set of copics on the Magnolia site then I'm done for a while. We've got a week of gardening weather here in GA so I'll be outside most of the day. LOVE IT!
My most recent stamping purchase is the set of 8 of the Smooch iridescent acrylic paints from ClearSnap. They are in transit to me.......wheeeeeeeeee.......

I just bought the Marvy Uchida scalloped cirles and the Stampin UP Butterfly which is glorious for the Big Shot. Also got a bunch of stickers ( the glue with glitter ) which is awesome. Also ordered some unmounted stamps of restaurant type stamps from Art Impressions. My grandchildren work in an Italian restaurant and they will make great cards.
Last night I purchased the QT owls from Pink Cat Studio.....a month or so ago bought WhipperSnapper stamps ( LOVE them!!)...today I bought a few bright colored sharpies that I dont have....all awesome stuff!

I FINALLY ordered an ATG gun yesterday. I can't wait to get it! I'm horrible at waiting. Today I put in a Stampin' Up order. Just enough to get one from the sale-a-bration book. Have club on thursday so will get another one then.
We've got gardening weather for a few days in Va. The ground is sopping. Then we'll go back to 20 degrees and freezing. Confuses the bugs. I'm glad to see so many people helping the economy like me!!!<G>
Yesterday morning I helped to stimulate the economy by taking advantage of SU's Sale-a-bration sale. I ordered $108.00 in DP, cardstock and inkpads. I selected the ribbon bundle and Polka Dot punches free with my order. I like FREE.

I just got the Scripture Essentials 1 set from Cornish Heritage Farms and can't wait to use it. Also, waiting for several new Tim Holtz stamp sets from Stampers Anonymous.
Well, as a matter of fact, I just bought the new british magazine Papercraft Essentials and was perusing the new card ideas when I came across THE cutest stamps! I just placed an order for some tonight since I'm going to be getting some tax money back. They are from a company called Stamps By Judith. I'm not going to rate the company prematurely as far as service and satisfaction as this is the first time I'm dealing with them. But, the stamped images I've seen thus far and the ones they demonstrated in the magazine are just adorable. I'm looking forward to using them.
I just bought a bunch of stamps from Impression Obsession...I am very excited...I've also been trying to talk myself out of going crazy and buying a whack of Magnolia and Sugar Nellies...my dog needs blood work this week and it will be costing me a fortune, so I don't have the extra funds right now unfortunately...then again, I did get that other job...:-D

I love Stamps by Judith!!! They were one of the fist stamp companies I bought from. Customer service was awesome, but they don't sell unmounted, and the shipping to Canada killed me...:(
I am placing a $400+ SU order soon, plus just bought some of the BELLABUGS from stampin bella (SOOO CUTE!) and went all out on Friday in a new scrapbook store here and bought like $50 in papers alone, plus primas, a xyron 510, a refill for that, pastel brads, butterfly shaped chipboard, glitter rub ons and a versamark black ink pad. Kicking myself because they had so many embossing powder colors and should have gotten those, and the store is 4 hrs from where I live so I can't just go back when I please. The total in that store was $237!
