I decided I could do about 150 for stamps. Plus the s/h and etc. The benefit of that is I would get one set free. So I struggled hard with my list of 19 sets. But I managed to get it down. Le Sigh. But then in comes mum and she said “Hey I really liked these two sets that you have down as you have to get no matter what.” So she offered to pay for them since she loved them so much as well.
So she goes “Now that frees you up some money, get some more.” Hmmm probably shouldn’t but why not since I’d planned on doing it that way anyway. Well guess what? Her 40 bucks in stamps? That got me to right at the 200 mark total! Ok, like JUST fifty cents or something under. No problem since I still have the 02-04 catty and everything is retired in it I think just about, ha!, I decided a new catty would work just fine thus taking me over the 200 mark and allowing for me to get not a 15.00 credit but a 20.00 credit!! Excellent! So here is what it looks like I’m getting!
Hope
Snowglobe
Darling Dragons
Scouts at Play
Bitty Bouquets
Be Mine
Costume Bears
Bear Hugs
Heart and Home
Polar Bears
Say it with Scripture
Just Flying By.
Which is great because it is all the sets I’d really really really like to have. What’s left I don’t mind living without. Woohoo! That rocks! So I also get a level 1 set free but I don’t even know what is in the current catty for level one. So I ripped that off to an email to my ever patient consultant who has to deal with me IMing her moaning and groaning over this bloody stamp dillema. HAHA… just in time too as I have to get her the money in the next week! EEEK. Thank goodness for paypal!
I hope the s/h and tax isn’t too bad. Of course we figured out that by waiting till I was in VA I would save a ton of money on tax since the tax here is way lower than in Ohio! 🙂
Yay!!!
I hope my stamping stuff is near the front of the storage unit. I wanna stamp!

Kimstamps is so cool! I usually go there before or right after buying a stamp set to get ideas for that set. 🙂
Oz, I’m so jealous! You’ll love the Darling Dragons set. I know I do. Your poor hands will be worn out from cutting stamps! 🙂

I bet they will be. I’ll probably do something like cut a set and stamp. Then cut a set and stamp. Then cut a set and stamp… HEHE I don’t think I could cut that many stamps in one setting!! The only thing I hate about SU is cutting the stamps… LOL
I’m excited about DD!! 🙂

Ink stamps
Go to http://www.stampingup.com and you’ll get an idea. These are just rubber stamps. The Scriptures is a set with Scripture verses on it. Has one of my favourites. “With God, nothing is impossible.” I love that one. I might have just waited and seen what they brought out to replace but I wanted that stamp.
Just for you, because you are so special, I got my catty and opened it up. It’s a set of 8 and they have:
I Thank my God upon every remembrance of you – Philippians 1:3
Cast thy burdens upon the Lord and he shall sustain thee. – Psalms 55:22
A Friend loveth at all times. – Proverbs 17:17
Pleasant words are as honeycomb, sweet to the soul. – Proverbs 16:24
Sing to the Lord with thankful hearts. – Colassians 3:16
With God, all things are possible. – Matthew 19:26
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart. – Proverbs 3:5
This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. – Pslams 118:24
I like the last two as well. The last one brings back fond memories of VBS. Now i’m singing that song we sang to that verse. LOL I had to get this one. 🙂 It’s got cute fonts. The verse ref is slightly smaller. It’s just a nice set. Don’t know yet what I’ll make with it but I’m sure I’ll come up with something!!

Wow… I want. Though I have no idea what I’d do with them. Probably just set them on my shelf. ^_^;
