You might be a stamper if you make all of your Dr. appointments around your stamping club meetings!
Good luck with your treatments. I do the same with my husband's (numerous) appointments. Also, when he is going to a new doctor, I Google the location to see what stamp stores are nearby!
And yes, I give him my wish list when birthday and holiday time comes so he knows exactly which stamps to order!

You might be a stamper if you make all of your Dr. appointments around your stamping club meetings! I am battling a blood cancer and I have to go out of town for some tests before I am admitted. I told them it would have to be on a Mon., Tues., or Wed. because I have my stamping club meetings on Thurs.! Everything is scheduled
around that day! ;-)
Good luck with your cancer treatments. With an attitude like yours and the support from your stamp club members, you'll sail through with flying colours..........would that be Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait......hmmm. Take care
Location: Buried under glitter in my Ontario studio.

You might be a stamper if you sit in church on Sundays looking at everyone's outfits for new color combos....and then write them down on the bulletin so you don't forget! =)
...or you secretly take a picture with your phone so you can remember the design to copy on a card!
You must be a stamper if you look out the window and it is dark, then look at the clock and it says 2 A.M. and you started stamping at 9 A.M. after putting a load in the washer.
Or maybe you are just trying to finish your Christmas cards and it is Dec. 19th.
You might be a stamper if you have more paper than SU.
I know I'm addicted. When with my husband at the doctors office having his surgery follow up I quickly grabbed the package the gauze pad came it to use for a get well card. It made a great background by the way. Card looked great too.

Okay this is so funny these sayings your gals are coming up w/ and I so identify w/ all of them!
The church ones made me scream w/ laughter for real cause me and my mom do exactly the same thing!! LOL!
You might be a stamper if:
You carefully cut away a clothing tag to save the ribbon for use on a card. But it's the perfect color for a medallion on a kimono, and I have 2 of them! :lol:
I love this thread! I have an old T shirt with an embroidered saying, "I dream in 48 colors". Of course, the SU colors have changed enough now that I am not even sure how many total colors we have but I seem to have (ahem!) outgrown that T shirt anyway. I'm sure it shrunk in the wash, yea...that's it!
But I do find myself calling things by their SU colors all the time. Confuses my family but my stamping friends all know exactly what I mean. Hey, that's another one!
"you might be a stamper if....you take cardstock to the paint store to be colormatched for your next painting job". We have a Baroque Burgandy wall in our dining room, the master bath is Bordering Blue and the hall bath is Baja Breese with Early Espresso! Jan
oops, ETA...I think Jeanne and I were posting at the same time! Great minds think alike, eh?
It was the calories that shrunk your shirt, they sneak into your wardrobe at night while you are asleep ands shrink your clothes ;) Nasty little blighters! I have to call the exterminator!
Your kids know all the Stampin Up colours and use them to describe everything :/ eg"Look Mum! That car is Rich Razzleberry!" or "Could you please pass me the Chocolate Chip (not brown) pen please" Brings tears of joy to this stampers eyes ;)
You may be a stamper if you need to explain to your doctor the black and blue marks on you hand are not bruises, but ink you have not been able to completely remove.
Red ink really causes the doctor to be concerned LOL

you might be a stamper if you scrutinize every food container, yogurt container, coffee container to see how you can decorate it/use it before throwing it in the recycling bin!
You might be a stamper if instead of buying the new outfit you recycle an old one and use the money to buy more stamping stuff!
you might be a stamper if you have spent almost as much on all the storage containers/trolleys/bookcases as you have the stash they are holding!!! (and you still don't have enough!!!)
You might be a stamper if you make your husband (who's at a business convention) find the local stamp store and call you from it. Then he puts on the phone the owner so you can tell her what he should buy you. Plus have the owner photograph samples of cards for you.
PS. The next year I met him at the convention and made him take me to that store in Santa Fe, NM.
You might be a stamper if you keep a notepad and pen beside your bed just in case a card idea comes to mind at 1am.
I usually get up to write something down and my DH will say what are you doing? I say I just had a great card idea or came up with a sentiment I don't want to forget! lol I love this thread!!!
Your oldest son's E-Bay account has cricut cartridges, stamps listed as he opens it up... lol! :rolleyes: He has made sure I'm getting a good price for each item! Has found some really great deals on stamps, cartridges.....!:p:rolleyes: I resemble all the remarks made!!!

You might be a stamper if you can sit in your stampin' sanctuary and feel all of your cares just melt away. Who needs Calgon bath beads when you have stamps and paper and ink.
This is me. I do this all the time. I just go and sit in my craft room and work on nothing. Just sit and look at all the pretty colors.....
and......
You might be a stamper if when your with your husband at the gun store and look around at the stuff to see what you can use for supplies or on a card.....
"you might be a stamper if....you take cardstock to the paint store to be colormatched for your next painting job". We have a Baroque Burgandy wall in our dining room, the master bath is Bordering Blue and the hall bath is Baja Breese with Early Espresso! Jan
I did exactly that when I was trying to get just the right blue for my front door!! And it really worked.

You might be a stamper if you carry a little binder in your purse with all your stamps stamped in it because you have so many you can't remember them all and you don't want to buy a duplicate.

Definitely done this one!( and most of the others, ).I've bought kitchen roll because I liked the quilted pattern/texture-saved 'junk mail' cd's because they make great cards for lads/men into computers- I've saved the innards from broken phones/tv remotes for the same reason-soak the stamps off envelopes, I've even soaked a label off a wine bottle!
You might be a stamper if...
You go to church with inky fingers... but you have a good excuse... you were stamping stickers for the kids to use for a Sunday School craft.
The most wish-fulfilling dream you EVER have is that your grocery store replaces the costmetics aisle with a rubber stamp aisle.
You try to go to a stamp store that's been closed 10 years when out of town, because it's still listed on the internet.
You might be a stamper if ... you use a wash cloth to quickly remove glitter when your in a hurry, only to pick that same wash cloth up to do quick wash up for an obgyn dr. appointment. He says to you "Oh my you have prepared haven't you?", You don't realise what he's talking about till you get home.
You might be a stamper if :
your family asks you if they can throw something or if you want to stamp on it.
You have your stamping stuff sent to work so your husband doesn't know how much you buy
A serious stamper if you have 5 or more black ink pads...cause they all have special uses
Are happier with a gift certificate from your favorite stamp place for Christmas than diamonds
Are happy when the house is empty so you can stamp without interuptions
I hear you, Betty, about the stampy stuff instead of diamonds for Christmas, LOL. I made a stampy wish list one year for Christmas and hoped to get one or two items on it...nearly cried when I got every single item!!!
You might be a stamper if you can only think of resorting to stampy stuff around the house, too. Need to remove sharpie writing from tupperware? Stazon cleaner! Shining up jewelry? Stamp cleaning pad! Mistake on a kid's school form? White gel pen! Ripped out hemline? Super sticky tape!
I am really a stamper because: When I dry my hands in a restroom the toweling is something I might use for BG paper(I have taken some home). I buy Kleenex for the pretty box that I can use for accent paper(I am always on the lookout for different designs) I also confess that I have taken home toilet tissue that might be nice to use for stamping. There I've said it--my dirty little secret! LOL Jean GBY
...or you secretly take a picture with your phone so you can remember the design to copy on a card!
My phone doesn't take pictures, so I always carry a camera for the same reason---and it doesn't have to be a card. I take pictures of lamps, dresses, plates, jewelry, all with the intent of building a card around the design!
You might be a stamper if ... you use a wash cloth to quickly remove glitter when your in a hurry, only to pick that same wash cloth up to do quick wash up for an obgyn dr. appointment.

You Might Be a Stamper if, you are out walking your dog, and a colorful piece of paper blows by--probably a piece of trash--and you wonder if you can incorporate it into a distressed, aged, or vintage background or item on a card!!
You know you're a stamper when...
