Zero unless you count my monthly scrapbook kit that will hit my bank account on the 15h - but that's in the future ;)
I'm soooooooooo proud of myself too!!! I even opted to stay home from the big sale at my LSS/stamp store at the end of the year! Of course I haven't hit the magic button to pay for the Lizzie Anne Design stamps I just discovered either ;)

If I had answered this before GinaK's party last night - my response would have been zero! Alas - I have the new Stamps for A Cause set coming (plus a few other things!). This order though, will hold me for a while (I hope!)

Attended the Gina K party last night and bought a few things, but I'm not including the purchase in my stamping budget since I spent some of my Christmas gift money. However, for your poll I marked the money I spent.

Less than $20. I went to HL and bought a big circle punch and some much-needed white cs and brown cs for scrappin' because they were all half price. I use SU cs for cards and have plenty of that, LOL!

Well, I'll answer my own poll. I had to place an SU order with my demo because it would have hurt her feelings if I did not (budget: friendship money) and I had to place an order with Gina K last night because it is for charity and because her daughter designed a Manga set that my son will love. (budget: charity and family togetherness).
Whew, still have my stamping budget untouched!!

$52.05 three sets on b/s/t forum
$20 plus postage for donation item
bunch of other stuff I ordered in 07 but didn't ante up til now...eeks - could be close to $300 and that doesn't count the postage I will pay today for all the RAK items I am taking to the PO -

how much have you spent?
Thank goodness you only included the catagory of stamping stuff! If you had included shoes or clothes or Christmas stuff for next year, I'd have to put myself in a totally different catagory than the $0 I put! I even bought some gorgeous boxes of chocolates at CVS for 75% off that I plan to give as Valentine's presents! The packaging is gorgeous and RED! Gotta save some money so that I have some for my SU order!

I've been good so far ($10 on Target mailboxes), but hope to be bad in the near future with a TAC order, SU order, Tonic Paper Cutter, ATG gun, and Scor-Pal. I told you that I was going to be BAD! My plan is to sell some unused stamps to cover some of the cost.

$75 right before the New Year and $25 at LSS this week. But, there are some SU things I'll probably get a little later this month...unfortunately it adds up quickly. I need to be a bit more selective in what I deem I *NEED*.

Nothing yet! I will put in a smallish SU order sometime, probably during the Saleabration period.

OOh, I forgot that I sold a background stamp on ebay. First time I ever sold anything on ebay. Hmm, but then I forgot that seconds later I used the $$ to buy a used background from Beate. So, I guess that is a wash!
(budget: maintaining good feedback on ebay and good relationships with stamping stars...)

I had to place an order for the new TAC catalog, but as Jimmi pointed out it's a business expense so it doesn't really count. I also had to buy scrapbooking things on sale at 2Peas because I'm working on scrapping more this year. Besides, I saved more than 50%! Isn't that like a spending negative? LOL! This isn't an indication of what's to come this year, though.

I thought I was being *good* and then I remembered the big SU order I put in on the 2nd . . . so I had to check the $300+. So much for that resolution!

I've only spent $40, but it was supplies for an upcoming class, so I don't think it should count.

I've only spent $5.48 for a ream of GP white CS at Wal-Mart, but does that really count? And I spent about $20 on yarn, but I used a gift card. So I don't think that counts either ;)

I had to say over $150 but that's ONLY because I worked mega overtime during the holidays and my last check had 33 hours of OT so I paid off my christmas bills and splurged a little (a lot)! oh the shame!
oh and that doesn't count the two gift cards I used ....

I am really trying to trim down my spending this year and so far I'm doing good. I bought the Gina K stamps for a cause set last night, but other than that nada. I haven't even ordered from the new SU! catalog (although I did do a pre-order in December).

Well, I spent $7, yes $7 at Michaels on Thursday. But that is only because I bought 5 Cricut cartridges the day after Christmas. I've got myself on a self-imposed spending ban.
....and I find it hilarious how everyone above me said their answer and then stated, "but that doesn't really count." We are addicted. We need group therapy!

yes, the excuses here are hilarious. I guess it depends on what "count" means. so far, I haven't read a single expenditure that "counted."

I am around $69.00 spent at LSS this week and have bids on things on ebay at this time....I confess --I am a great collector of materials for my addiction. I can't help myself. I have not gotten my new SU catalog from my demo and I can't wait to see what I "need" from it. LOL

I have spent $38 but most of that was for a birthday swap I am in (shopped for two ladies) So spent on me? Only $14. Not bad, not bad.

$150 for my first catalog order to get going for my stamp camps. Haven't been to the city or really online to be tempted since I am trying to reorganize my area. Can't guarantee anything after that!

I can't believe I'm at $0! But, I indulged in myself way too much in Nov/Dec. Now I owe myself money, as I dipped into my reserve. Luckily, my aunt and uncle just gave me some spending money when they visited. Hmm, I think that should be a rule for when people visit me! LOL!

I've only spent $10 so far... I got the MM trimmer I've been eyeing for months now at M's with a 50% coupon and a $15 gift card. Woohoo!!! Plus I've been debating on getting the Pull EZ ribbon purse and rather than order it, I took a make-up bag and my cropadile and made my own last night. That saved me $20. I guess if you look at it that way, I've actually saved money this year... LOL :mrgreen:

Hmmmm....
Since 1/1 -
SU demo order $153 (all for me)
Michael's $11 (Martha's glitter)
But on the last day of December, I ordered and received this week:
Nestabilities $51
JacksonBelle $15.00
Joann.com $21.00 (Cuttlebug stuff)
OMG... That's way over my budget looking at it all at once. That trickle spending is truly a difficult leak to stop.

Around $85.00 so far! I purchased the Valentine's Card Kit and Bundle from my back up Stampin' Up Rep and I won "Perfection Presentation" on e-bay. This is just the tip of the iceberg, however, I still haven't turned my January order into my regular Stampin' Up rep!! Yikes!
