In February, I will be hostessing a workshop and my wishlist adds up to $252, which by the time I pay shipping and tax will be a little under $300. It's my biggest order yet (all at one time.) What's yours?
I have been known to spend 200-250...I am my own best customer! But for Sell-A-Bration! With the 200 I got for Christmas and my comission check from November and the hope of getting money next month for my birthday and all the supplies I need...probably 350! That's 7 free stamp sets!
At new catalog time, $500 (if I had the money & if I really wanted a level 3 hostess set). I've done this more than once, but then I'm my best customer.
Usually I spend the most during SAB to get the free sets and hostess benes.
Since I am now a demo with quarterly minimums...I basically divided up my wish list into orders....I've basically spent $300 for Jan-Mar and have two orders ready to go for Apr-June. The only wrinkle is that there might be something in the mini that will entice me to change an order. Hah.

I spent $500 exactly when the new catalog came out to get Island Blossoms and expedite my shipping without bumping up to the next charge for expedited shipping. I was very impressed with myself. Don't know if I'll ever have an order that big again from myself!
I actually made my list for January last night...I have a stamp camp and a workshop at a friend's house in that month so I'll split it, but before taxes and shipping the whole list is about 250. Luckily for me, DH just bought a new golf club for almost the same amount. :twisted:
Wow, my biggest order to date has been just over $120. But we are on one income with a 2 y/o, so I can't spend too much at once or DH gets upset.
Yup, we are on one income with 3 little ones! I have my stamp money seperate and DO NOT spend family money on stamps. I fund it with stamp camps mostly. But I had a garage sale shortly after we moved and made about $400 for me to spend on stamps. THe agreement was, I did all the work, I got all the money. I gave dh like $120 for him to buy a good drill, and the rest was mine!
Before I became a demo, I spent somewhere almost $700 during Sell-A-Bration on my very first order. I still kick myself for not signing up!! I gave all of my extra sellabration sets away to my friends. (c: It was fun!
My first and biggest order was somewhere around $150. Next SAB will likely be a big bigger than that. If I had the money and we weren't a one income household I'd probably have had a few bigger ones, because there's so much stuff I'd love to get my hands on.

I've spent around $800 on one order - my DH knew about it too. I saved up all my SU income for a while and he even gave me some $$ to bump it up. Thinking back I can't believe I spent that much all at once, and I doubt I'll ever be able to afford to do it again!
I spent a little over $300 last year and thats just because my DH gave me a gift certificate from my Demo for that amount of money last Christmas. I spent it in Jan. so I could get all the Sellabration stamps free!!!!
$450 personally.
Though before I became a demo I hosted a party that was around $750. Boy did I sure get a lot of cool free stuff! AND it was during SAB!
My biggest personal order was around $400 earlier this summer. I really wanted a level 3 hostess set and got it.
Next month I'm planning around $100 - $150 so I can get free stuff!
Oh my goodness! I need to save this thread and show it to DH, should he have comments to make about the amount of $ I spend on crafts. I think the most I've ever spent at once was around $100. Now let's not talk about TOTAL money spent over the years....one look at my craft room and you gotta know I'm in deep!

My end of january order will be over $800! That's mostly because the provincial government is giving every resident here a big cheque, and the federal gov. is giving a smaller one. that combined with a little money I've saved is enough to get everything I want to get for now. Plus there's a hostess set (Level 3) that I really want too.

Most on any single order was about $270, and I'm starting to average $150 monthly on SU alone - not counting spend on other papercraft vendors! My friends are telling me I should become a demo since I single-handedly spend more than the quarterly minimum. :lol: Now that my "home office" looks more like a "craft studio," I'm beginning to think they may be right!

My largest was $585.00 on new catty stuff in 2004! Been a SU cutomer since 1996 and usually do spend a lot; but usually in smaller ($200.00 or so) orders several times a year! Should become a demo; but just never have!!!

My biggest orders are always the new catalog orders. Last years was about $550. I'm saving for the next one already. I see all that new stuff and I have to have it all immediately!

Wow, and I thought $200 was a lot. I think that is my top order, but my wish list is always a lot longer. I've had great workshops, where I've earned a level 2 and 1 set, but never a level 3. I don't think I want to know how much I have invested in this overall. I might find out I could have gone to Europe! I never signed up as a demo either. I would not want to be required to spend.
I spent about $400 last month which included the starter kit plus business supplies like business cards. I'm my best customer. Of course my wishlist in stamps alone (from main catalog) is about $500. This doesn't include all the paper I want and new color markers and stamp pads/reinkers still. Before I became a demo in October I spent about $400 on e-bay on retired sets but I was selling my old sets and getting ones I could use. Since then I have been staying away from ebay. I plan on doing some workshops since I am not working and really need to pay off some of this habit.
Well my biggest spree was in August, when I was the Hostess for our $25 SU club..... I spent over $300 personally, and had a $1000 party. At the time, I had not yet discovered SCS, and decided against all the Level 3 hostess gifts. My poor demo tried and tried to tell me I was making a mistake. Did I listen to her.... NOPE.... instead had her pick out a level 3 she wanted, and to simply send me 2 Level 1's I happened to like.
Then KarrieLyne sent me a card in October, made with Island Blossoms... OMG.... what she did with that set! I immediately went hunting for it. Darn.... Level 3 (and hated the looks of it in the catty before)
Well I am the Hostess again in March. Hopefully I can do a $500 party and earn that dang set. I already have Jan order ready ($100 and 2 SAB's). Then sis is the hostess for our SU Club in Feb (got a $200 order ready for her)... just hope I got enough cash to make it for March....lol... Already have a list for $200 for March and if I can stretch it to $350 (then the club members will get me to $500 with their basic orders).
Susan, my demo, keeps telling me instead of joining her $25 SU monthly club, I simply ought to be a demo myself.... too bad I am the person around this area I know that stamps.... so she is safe, and I am giving her a great year as a demo.... LOL...
On my first order as a demo I purchased just over 800 with that 30% discount I ordered all the cs in 8.5x11 and all the ink pads and some stamps I wanted right away. Of course at that time- the scrub pad, scissors and the stamping mist were not included in the kit either as well as the amount of paper seemed rather limited(one pack of white and one of coloured). I hosted an open house during this time as well so the total order went in at over 1500 - whoo-hoo tons of free product!!
I love the changes they have made to the new starter kit- everything there to get you started with out having to reorder so quickly.

My largest so far was my first order and that was a little under $600.
However, I have my order for January ready to go and as of right now its $735 and growing. My DH gave me a gift ctf that he made (so cute) for $350 to be spent on SU! supplies, so I am using that and christmas money from my parents for the rest
