I am doing this all week because I have a few coming this week. I am glad I'm not alone. My 16 year old daughter thinks that I am crazy, she says I am addicted (well, I guess I am, is there some kind of group like AA for people like us (ha, ha)???

I have 51 SU stamp sets a small shoe box of miscellaneous stamps, 7 Bella's, and 4 SU background stamps. I don't think I need any more set but guess what I am still going to buy some....
I hate to say how many St Up sets I have. I have it on an Excel spreadsheet but can't bring myself to enter the cost. I have "outgrown" some of them and I really need to sell on eBAY. I have never sold on eBAY -- just bought. I guess I need to figure out how to sell. Is it easy to do???
I only have about 10 clear stamp sets. I love the clear stamps but don't find the selection to be good as St Up. I have many Hero Art sets and individual and other misc individual stamps.
I know I have an addiction because I have stamps I haven't even used yet. At least I finished mounting my new St Up sets this weekend. I need time to play.
I have 46 sets of SU stamps. About 20 acrylic $1. Michaels and about 50 of the wood mounted $1. I also have about 30 wood mounted from various vendors like Penny Black, All Night Media and Inkadinkadoos.
182 SU sets + 14 SU sets I gave to a DIL
Two boxes of SU Rollers
Too many individual stamps to count
I also keep a word doc of SU stamps and a 3-ring binder of a picture of each set....alphabetized for quick reference. That way, if a stamp gets separated from a set, it is easy to *re-house* it!
I got my S-A-B order and it put me just over 100 SU sets and 22 CTMH sets and maybe 20 or so other store type stamps. I have another SU box coming tomorrow. Shhhh don't tell my HUBBY!

I, too, keep a list, so it was an easy matter to count: 81 stamp sets, 19 backgrounds.
I have about 20 su sets and a few penny black stamps - and I find that I would forget about the smaller stamps in the sets ... so now I have made a wee folder and stamp every stamp on it. Sometimes even looking at the stamped image gives much needed inspiration!

Oh how funny! My husband doesn't even ask! He did tell a mental calculation one day and said we could've put an extension on the house for all I have spent on stamps and supplies! If he only knew...
The last time I counted my stamps was about 5 years ago and I only had a little over 100. Today I have so many more sets, mounted, clear, cling, etc...I am actually too afraid to count them now. I guess it would be a reality check, and...maybe it would help me to unload the ones I don't use anymore...
Okay, I counted! 103 SU sets, a few CTMH sets, one of the clear sets (I can't remember the name but it's a well known one - something like See-Ds), a few LSS-sold sets and a bunch of singles - both wood mounted and unmounted. Yikes! No wonder I feel like I hardly ever use my stamps! NO MORE for a while (we'll see how long I can hold onto that! :grin: ) Oops, forgot my wheels, which I unmounted last year. I think I have twelve of those!
I've been stamping 10 years but some of you have way more than me. 4 years ago I took them out of the boxes to put them in flat drawers and tossed over 275 boxes. Wish I had kept them in sets, don't do what I did, though it did free up LOTS of room for more. Did anyone mention how many that haven't been mounted yet? I'm with the poster that says the only ones that count are the ones you use, and I've only used half of mine, if that. Interesting thread, what a booming industry! I think the insurance rider is a good idea, wonder if $20K would actually cover it? Still cheaper than psychotherapy...
I have 280 CD cases with my stamps (unmounted from TAC) a binder with 9 storage boards with some loose stamps for both sides, 5 background stamps and 4 big alphabets and 45 of the clear one $1 sets, and more to come!
The big stuff about all those stamps is that they are perfectly organized in just one lil space cause they are unmounted and that means a lot for me cause I can use it all the time without much pain! looking for them!
Love,
Diana
