I'm getting all of them!

[lanelson]

I made a new wish list yesterday (filled up two "wish lists") and jokingly told my dh that I needed to spend $XXX on new stamping stuff. He said that he had some things he's wanted to buy too (non-su) and suggested that we each "splurge" and get the stuff we wanted!! Yipee!!!

I immediately contacted my demo and she put the order in last night. Now I'm getting ALL of the sell-a-bration sets (plus the 12 sets that were in my order)!!! I can hardly stand it - I went to bed last night thinking about all my new stuff coming. Now I just have to find a way to wait until it all arrives!!!

(thanks for letting me share my excitement - my kids are tired of hearing about it!)

[scdecker]

Very exciting! My only advice - don't try to cut and mount all the sets in one sitting!

[roo613]

That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am extremely jealous! My DH would gladly let me splurge if we had the money, but lack of money greatly hinders that possibility. I doubt I'll even earn one SAB set, but that's ok.
No one understands the joy of a BUNCH of new stamps unless she is another stamper. So I just wanted you to know that I feel your excitement, and I am happy for you!

Holy Moly!! Could your hubby talk to my hubby?!
Have fun with all your sets and happy mounting! Maybe you could use this time of waiting for strengthening your hand muscles

[Michelle Laycock]

Whoo hoo! That is so cool! What a great hubby!

That's tooooo funny, but very good advice. I once did 14 sets in one sitting and the next day I could hardly write.

Anyhoo, I am so happy for you, nothing like having brown ringing your bell with a nice big package of goodies.

I too placed a hhuge order getting 3 sellabration sets- and big bad brown played a cruel joke! Placed order on 1st- had three days off Fri, sat, sunday! Big brown pulled up in front of the house and I was all excited-- and he walked right past my house and made a delivery next door!!! DANG!!! I was blue!

Monday can't come fast enough!

[CreativeDiva]

That's FANTASTIC!!!!
Good for you!!! Be sure to make hubby an I Love you and Thank you card from all your new stuff!!!

[lanelson]

oh shrades, that's terrible!! I hope delivery for you comes first thing in the morning - you've been so patient!!

I'll be off work for the next several weeks (having some routine surgery), so I'm hoping to use the time to cut out and play with my new stuff! (my demo gave me a new pair of SU scissors, so my hands will hurt a lot less than they would have if I had to use my regular craft scissors - she's the best!!)

[schrades]

I hope your procedure goes well! Nice doctor to give you hand happy scissors! have a great day!

I think that's great! I can't believe you've got such a wonderful hubby.

My DH thinks this stamping stuff is a fad on the way out and thinks my stamps should go with it.

Hope your surgery goes well....take care.

[dot2dot]

Thanks to a fantastic demo, I got 14 sets for $151.23!! She had a buy one, get one 1/2 off unlimited number of sets. Then she counted them as if they had been full price for SAB and Hostess gifts! I have my Christmas shopping done for next Christmas for my stamping sister and my friends, plus I have so much to play with that I cannot believe I am sitting here typing this. PLUS they were shipping out on Thurs. and I got them Fri!!! I have never received them so fast before. I think I am in heaven!!

[addicted2stamps]

wow! how fun! I would be so excited too. That's a great man you got there!!!! yeah! new stamps!!!!

[Sandybeach]

WOWZERS!

(Hope your order doesn't throw Mr Brown's back out! :lol: )

Have fun with all the new stuff!

[STAMPSILLY2004]

That is awesome! Hope you have a blast with all your new sets! Gina

[Soozie4Him]

[Ballmark]

I am so happy for you lanelson! How exciting. I shared your first post with my DH and he said in reference to your DH, "Wow he sounds like a great guy - maybe you should have married him!" My DH thinks he is so funny! So needless to say the D in DH doesn't stand for darling at the moment! HA! Enjoy your new stamps and stuff.

Jodi

[lanelson]

remember Jodi - dh gets to spend the same amount on "stuff" he wants too. see if that changes your dh's mind! :lol:

[j-me]

You could have added to your pile by hostessing a workshop!! I just had
mine...had over $750 in sales...got free SAB sets, hostess sets, and tons others...I think15 sets...all for $25.96!! And all I did was have a great night with friends.. And my DH is super duper pleased...along with my checkbook :lol:

[Candykane]

That's cool that you had such a good party! I am having a party on the 29th and my goal is just to earn one free set and get 2 others, by buying some stuff I want. I just think it will be fun to get together with my stamping friends, it's been forever since anyone has had a party too. It is nice getting free stamping stuff. Hopefully one of them will want to do a party for Feb. so I can get some more of the sets.

[StampinChrissylea]

I cut nearly 25 stamp sets out one day last week while confined to my chair after foot surgery...between that and all the time spent on SCS, no wonder my carpel tunnel is flaming!

Then one of my dear older customers/friend who's got arthritis called me to cut HER stamp sets out that she just bought. Oh well!
