Isn't there a law about taking the Fifth, you know to keep from incriminating yourself?? I have said every year, give me $5000, and next month I will be back wanting more.
This will give me a project to do for my 4-day bus trip over the holiday...hee I will post my total when I get back...But there are 3 alpha sets I want, there's $120 right there!
demos? If not, you may want to think about signing up to become one just to get the 20% discount! I did and am now especially thankful after seeing the new catalog!

I am totally thinking about signing up....AGAIN! I love the new catalog and want it ALL!
The first time I went through, it was about $450 for stamps and $250 for other items. Then I went through again and wrote down things I'd like, putting question marks next to the maybes. That totaled about $500. So, I'm right in there with everyone who is in the $1200 range. We'll see. I know my list will change. Some of the stamps on my wish list were on it last year, so I have waited a long time for them. Maybe I can live without them.
My first time through the catty my total was $698.00 and that wasn't EVERYTHING I wanted just what I thought I needed.
I decided not to give my husband a heartattack so I redid it and got down to $550.00.
I finally ended up ordering only $228.00. I figure that when I get orders I'll just add mine on to theirs.;) My husband was laughing at me because I have my next 3 orders all ready to go.

By the way that was the totals with no paper, new alpha sets, or accessories!
Which 5th should I take? Scotch or Gin! LOL After going through the catty for about the 5th time, I'm in the $1200.00 bracket and need a few more supplies!
I think it is time to re-edit. I have to have something left for the next Mini!
Do you say where the that 12 step program is? Is there a chapter in my area?
Karen - close to the big *D* if I spend much more!

Every time I look at the catty it ups at least $50. It seems like no matter hoe many times I go through it there is always something more! I wish I could unload afew of my old CTMH sets so I could have more to spend at my show this week!
Scary!!! My rubber wish list is $1760.35 and paper/accessories is $306.30 for a total of $2066.65 -- this is after placing my first order. And then new mini's will come out and the list will grow!
Mine is about $900 in stamps (not many new ones either) and about $900 in accessories. Had to keep it fair!!! Ha ha!! I am just starting this fun hobby so luckily most of the things are 1 time purchases. And the stamp sets list can be narrowed down greatly-I just listed all the ones I like!!
My "trying to keep it small so it fits on my first order" list was almost $1,600...lol. I whittled it down to $500 and it almost KILLED me. That's just new things, too. I kept thinking, "I have 12 months. I have 12 months."
Just the must haves is a little over the $1200. I hae it saved on an excel spreadsheet that I have password protected so DH cannot possibly look at it and have a heart attack.
I was stamping just the other day and used a new toll and he looked over from his desk and asked "Do you have everything they make for stamping?" My reply was "No of course I don't" His smarta$$ reply was but I bet you're going to are'nt you?
So I told him no more days off of driving his truck. He had to make the money to keep me in the stamping style I would like to become accustomed to!

I have a serious problem!

Jane Jetson, like "Meet George Jetson.....Jane, his wife."
Is that your real name, or a screen name? (I don't mean to be rude. Just curious.)

Major hijack.... Remember when George was dropping Jane off at the store and he tried handing her a bill from his wallet - but she took his whole wallet instead? My kind of woman!
iam to scared to add up everything... plus there is the new fall mini comming and if that one is as good as the spring mini i defenetly want a lot of sets out of that catalog since they are really limeted sets.
I haven't added mine up, but my list is two pages. Also... don't forget those great little mini's that come out each quarter, I'm sure there will be alot of sets we have to have from those too!! Just add about $500 bucks extra to your lists to include all those stamps in the mini's you don't know you want yet!
$827.85 so far! That includes Summer mini stuff. I don't even have the actual catalog yet...this is all from viewing it online. When I get the real thing in my hands, that figure is sure to go even higher!

My "wish" list (not the "have to get it right now") list is $1433.20. That's stamps, wheels, and other accessories (tools, paper, inks, etc). Sheesh...And I've only had the online version to work from! Good thing I'm signing up to be a demo soon. My meeting with my current demo is Friday! I'm so excited! :mrgreen:
My calculator doesn't go that high............LOLLOLLOLOLOLOL......(just kidding)......oh this catty is great.......I could spend easily over 500.00......then wait till the mini cattys come out too! More more more..
I just do a little bit at a time...........is safer on my hubby's heart and wallet! LOL
