Ummm, I have all the sets I can cram into two kitchen cabinets in the mud room. They're not full yet and that's all I'm going to say. The worst part of it is, the more I do this, the more I see sets and stamps that I like. I still kick myself for not buying a particular wset I found in Galena. I'm trying to figure out how to get back there to buy it! And I found an alphabet I liked at a LSS that I need to count my pennies to buy. Let's see, transmission for the van? Or some new stamp sets . . . I think I need therapy.

WOW!!!!!! some of us sure have lots of stamps, I'm hoping someday I"ll have over 200 sets ...that's my goal right now, No doubt that will increase as soon as SU new catalogue come out.......how addicting these things are!!!!!
This thread was AWesome to read!!! I've never had any complaints from the DH about any of my crafts, but should he deside to take that dangerous step, I will keep this thread handy. I've only been stamping for about a year and I have:
68 SU sets
3 BG
11 wheels
and a ton of loose stamps
Of course this is the total before our STamp Camp this weekend.........so Hopefully Lots of BG stamps will be purchased. Woo Hoo!!!
I've been wondering about this for a while so I finally took the time to count. I have 170 sets (including backgrounds and monograms) and 22 wheels. Yikes! I think my favorite set right now is Knobbly Gnomes.

I refuse to answer on the grounds that my hubby might read this! ;)
Hee Hee! I don't have to worry about my hubby, he wouldn't set foot on this site! I just have to try and keep him out of the craft room.
I don't keep my stamps in their sets (!Horrors! you cry) but I have a little over 2000 single stamps including all SU. I've been doing it about 20 years.
Oh! My fav? The one in my hand! OR.....maybe....the one I see in the catalog that I want!

I have 144 sets, all SU! and 2 backgrounds that are not. My DH bought them for me when we were in LV for convention one year. My favorites by far are Courage & Honor, Godspeed, Looks Like Spring, and Wonderful Words 1 & 2.

no way am I counting my sets 3 full size iris carts and 2 small ones just with stamps. and I keep getting more. might need to rent a storage shed for the furniture soon. lol
I failed to mention that in my 7 years as a demo, I've sold or traded away at least 60 retired sets. I haven't gotten rid of any retired ones in awhile though. But I'm moving soon, so some of the retired ones may have to go!

I think I have around 150. But please read my signature!! ;)
Never ask a woman her age, weight or how many stamp sets she owns. She will lie about all of them.
ROFLMTO!!!! That would be the only things I lie about. I have so many stamp sets, I'm going to have to reconsider my storage.
I have 7 so far and 6 more on the way. I went to my first SU party in February so, I am just a newbie. My collection is growing very fast though and this total does not include the photo box full of stamps from other companies. I joined a stamper's 10 group so, I get to shop at least once a month...such fun!
Well I am a Brand New SU Demo so I only have 5 SU sets and 1 wheel but I put in an order today so that number is growing. Otherwise I have 386 single stamps, 38 Hero sets and 6 TAC sets.
Oh good grief!!! I just counted ... and realized I have 120 sets! I was thinking (before I counted) that I had maybe 1/2 that!
And I have about 15 sets boxed up to sell!
And which is my favorite? They are ALL my favorite - I guess that's why I have so many?
Is there a 12 step program for people like me?
how do you actually organize all those stamps for those without a special place in your home where you can leave everything.
i just bought the small cm carry bag and it is already too small for my stuff
could use some tips....
also tips how to sell this to husband that i like to have more sets. yesterday i was hiding in the car my newest purchase (new inkpads and of course a new set loads of love accessories)

LOL ... I do actually have a stamping room... it's also used as my home office for work as well as my office for the household. I invested in some bookshelves about a year ago and that is where I store all my beloved stamp sets! I've been stamping for almost 4 years so I've collected a lot over time (listen to me trying to justify my addicition)... It IS my only hobby though! This year I have cut WAY back. I can hardly believe that so far this year I have only purchased TWO sets! Now that is some restraint - ha ha!!
Oh my goodness - I am amazed and drooling over the sheer numbers, here! I am new to stamping and I think I have 7 sets, all Stampin Up. And 2 wheels from the March special. It's hard to pick a favorite...but I think maybe Heartfelt Thanks - it was also my first one.
I love this board. Like those quaker commercials - you all "so get me!"
DH thinks the whole new hobby is pretty cool - I made my first spinner card last night and I finally had to take it away from him. :mrgreen:
Out of the current I&CB I have :
41 sets
11 wheels
8 backgrounds (or at least will have once I place and order for 6 tonight at our S-10 meeting)
If I were home I'd count my other sets/wheels/backgrounds. I probably have another 40-50 sets + 10 more wheels.
My sister and I went to our first SU party in 2001 or 2002. Now she's a demo, and I help keep her in business.
I have a craft/office/music room -- but not really organized at the moment. I know where things are -- it's just not handy. But I'm working on the organization (I'd rather stamp than organize...).
Thanks everyone for replying to my post, I'm totally in a awe over how many stamps people have collected, 5 years from now I hope I'm still with scs and someones asks this same question...I want to be one of ones who says oh between 200-300 whooooo hoooooooo .
