What about you?

Gosh, that's hard!! Any company I've really wanted to order from, I already have!! Any company that I want to buy from but haven't yet, I haven't restrained myself from fear (of orders not arriving, etc.) but from budget restrictions.
Why not go ahead and buy from Waltzing Mouse? I have only heard good things about them.
Free shipping over �50! ($79?)
That's so funny! I had been coveting Waltzingmouse Stamps for over a year! I finally put in my order this month, and they came in less than a week. Really nice high-quality stamps, too! You will not be disappointed!
I had a huge shopping cart at Papertrey Ink for-ever! I finally got around to ordering from them this month as well.
I'm selling off a lot of my old stamps (check that BST forum!) and starting over with new companies. I'm leaving behind a lot of my tried and true (i.e. Stampin Up), and branching out with more stamps and papers from places like WMS, PTI, and Amuse. I'm also giving up the large 12 by 12 paper packs in favor of new papers from places like October Afternoon, Crate Paper, My Mind's Eye and Cosmo Cricket.
When I first started stamping 12 years ago, I really liked Hero Arts. Well, I'm finding that I really like them again! Bought some new stamps from them this month.
Place my first order with them this month. I was pleasantly surprised with the quick delivery since they are not a US company. The stamps I received are really beautiful and stamp nicely. Have seen some other stamps that just might be 'must haves'.
I was tempted by the oddest plunge-taking ever the other day -- I saw an ad here for a kit company and they have mini-albums, and things like that. The things that I always see and admire but feel a bit at a loss with where to begin. I thought maybe the kit concept could be the way to go. 6 months of ready-to-go projects and get a feel for it. I still haven't taken that plunge yet -- partly b/c I have budget earmarked already. But I'm definitely tempted and it's a huge departure from what I usually do.
Mary Rose, I'm so happy for you having ordered WMS, too!!! And I completely agree on the paper pads . . .you named some of my favorites and I only buy 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 pads now. And my head has been turned by some Hero Arts designs too - very nice and lots of choices in cling or clear. If you haven't already checked it out, you may enjoy Susan Raihala's (LateBlossom) blog, Simplicity: Simplicity
She has a great CAS style and often features Hero Arts stamps (as well as PTI and of course others ).
Looking forward to reading of others' temptations and adventures in shopping!
Another happy Waltzing Mouse stamps customer here...I love Claires stamps and they arrive pretty quickly considering they are soooooo far away.
blessings.
I got the four sets I've been wanting for so long...Blessed By You, Peace and Plenty, Sewing Box Hugs, and Sewing Box Christmas. I also love needle art, and those sewing box sets are just too cute!
I did the same with Waltzing Mouse and finally took the plunge earlier this year.... this month I finally took the plunge with Prickly Pear - love their matching stamps and dies!
Since Claire, the Waltzingmouse stamps owner, opened her store, I purchases regularly from her store. I love her designs, the quality of the stamps and her great customer service. I own a lot of her stamps and I find that I use them regularly.
I also like Flourishes (I order regularly), they are really my type of stamps and Hero arts.
There's a TON of places I've not ordered from, but REALLY want to!
My stamp stash includes 6 or 8 Stampin Up sets, 6 or 8 Close to My Heart sets and a handful of individual stamps. So, as you can imagine, there's a lot of stamp themes I don't have.
I'd like to get a few Shoppe Window sets from Art Impressions; some Fashion Ladies, Laundry Days and a few other stamps from RubberNecker; and there are a few die sets at Papertrey Ink that I'd love to try.
These are items that are going to have to wait until at least next year. But I can still dream and drool, right?
At first, I couldn't think of anything but now I think of taking the plunge into some Tim Holtz ultra-vintage Christmas stamps. I've always admired the things he does with them and it will be a creative stretch for me that I need right now.

I would like to try Amuse and Our Daily Bread, but I think both are online only and I don't shop online...:( So I guess I just have to enjoy all the cards others post for now) I did find a Unity stamp in a craft store when I was on a trip once. I love rubber stamps, don't have a lot of luck with the clear acrylic ones.
Kathy,
I think Kelly, at Our Daily Bread Designs, accepts orders by telephone. It would be worth it to call and ask her. If not, try Scrapbooks Forever on West Hwy. 76 in Branson. That store sells some of the Our Daily Bread Designs products. And since that store sells ODBD, maybe there are some other stores that sell ODBD as well. Good luck!
Another one for Papertrey Ink and Waltzing Mouse... Christmas is coming I wonder if I gave the DH a subtle hint... ;) Though I did promise myself I wouldn't buy any more stamps until I used what I already have!

Thanks for the tips...we'll see what I can find out.
I ordered a downloadable template from Waltzing Mouse - arrived instantly, more importantly the instructions were great. I recently purchased Rubber Cafe when they has a special SCS delivery price of $1.99 to Australia. Their customer service is terrific. Highly recommend.

Kathy, A Muse does have online stores but for hostess rewards (orders over $150) customers need to email their order to the consultants. I am sure any consultant would be happy to take any order via email for you! "Kind of" like online shopping, but not quite the same . Or you could just speak to your consultant over the phone if you'd like!
I had to pull up this thread again because I remembered that one company I've been tempted to take the plunge with is Ippity by Unity. A friend posted one of the new stamp sets to Facebook and I really think I'll have to get this one:
Schnauzerama It's the second one, Pain and Pride. I love it
Taking the Plunge...
. The quality is fabulous, the service outstanding. You will NOT regret it!!! WMS has first dibs on my stamping budget
