I'm bad. I submit an order for myself with SU! almost weekly, went to a CM crop and got a few things and hit M's for some stuff to make banquet decorations. That's a pretty typical few days for me. I really need some new clothes (down 45 lbs so far!) but I can't stay out of the craft stores!

Mine was a PTI order, but probably will order today. I'm making my niece's baby shower invitations and found out last night she wants double what I had planned.

I ordered from 7Kids College Fund about 2 weeks ago. I just "had" to have the new Distrezz-It-All from Zutter, some Tim Holtz Alterations dies and some Zva Creative pearls/rhinestones. Now I am waiting for June because I have put myself on a monthly budget.
I just got a dozen rolls of ATG tape and the Fancy Tag Spellbinders yesterday in the mail..I needed the tape and well, I used my U Cut at Home 40% off coupon on the Spellbinders....BUT..I'm trying to place an order with Waltzing Mouse but they're out of 2 sets I want so I'm checking to see when those will be back in and then place an order....
I went to an art retreat on Sunday and they were having a 50% off sale on supplies. Couldn't pass that up. Bought gel medium, acrylic paints and a magazine.
This past Saturday, I went to Michael's and bought 2 Punch Around the Page, a balloon punch, and a crab punch. I had a coupon and some were on sale. I bought a few sheets of dp and a couple of $1 stamps, a clear set, and some Memento ink. I will use it all and have fun doing it.

I voted more than a week ago - that's on my own account. However, DH is getting me some Penny Black stamps as an anniversary present, and I ordered those last week. But a present doesn't count, does it?
I have been bad lately! I bought from Sizzix Tuesday Teasers sale this morning, then have been to Hobby Lobby twice already today and will go once more after work...using the 40% off coupons to get some paper storage.
I just hit Wal-Mart. They had Xyron 1.5" refills for $5. I couldn't resist. Btw - they also had the 5" sticker makers for $20 and the refills for them for $10. I just bought a 2.5" one at my LSS closing (*sniff*) so I can't buy another one. Besides 5" stickers won't fit on cards.
Other than envelopes, I could not tell you the last time I purchased any stamping supplies. I even designed my Christmas card around items that I already had.
I would estimate that the last purchase was before we moved last year so that would put it sometime in August. 9 months - that is good and depressing all at once.
I made a large purchase at one of my fav quilt shops a little more than a week ago. I am trying to stay within a budget but it has been hard! I love buying supplies, stamps, projects, and quilt kits! i find it very relaxing. Last summer I started keeping track of my spending by keeping all my receipts in an envelope and tallying them up at the end of the month. WHAT A SHOCKER!!!! :shock: I seem to average around $350 monthly but there have been some months that I either made a big-ticket purchase or went on a shop hop and spent closer to $700 or $800! I am trying hard to use what I have and quit spending all this money. It is tough though, there are times I feel like an addict...just jonesin' to get to a store and buy something or order online. Gotta keep strong though! :-D
I ordered a bunch of A7 sized cards this weekend, as I make cards/treats for DH's work, any get well, congrats, going away, birthdays, etc and the cards have to be at least A7 and doubled up for enough room for everybody to sign, so I run through cards much faster than envelopes. Makes it hard for him to complain when I buy craft stuff though, since a good chunk gets put to use for work.

Yesterday. I hardly ever by Cricut carts any more (have SCAL) but they had a 60% off coupon in the paper and I just HAD to buy the new Critters cart (sigh). Passing a Michael's on my way home from work everyday has done some serious dammage to my wallet.

My last purchase was on monday. I ordered the Distrezz it all. It arrived yesterday. I LOVE it! I wish this item was out sooner. I hate distressing by hand. I have been on a buying spree lately. I spent all last year using my stash. I purchased two things all last year, adhesive & a set of Cuttlebug embossing folders. So, this year is different & I'm stocking up on the things I was missing. JIL
My last purchase was yesterday, I just couldn't resist, I found Paper Pretties was having a huge sale up to 75% off.
I bought Lady Liberty stamp (I am a New Yorker so I wanted her for a while), a Cooper stamp, some Tombow Mono Multi glue, Rhinestone, pearls and few other thing to get the free shipping. I am thrilled and my order already shipped. Can't wait to play. :rolleyes:
Do magazines count? I don't buy them often since so much info is online, but I got a copy of Cloth-Paper-Scissors' "Studios" magazine at 50% off with a coupon at JoAnn's. I've been really busy with kids' activities and have been trying to get my crafting stash sorted and cleaned up, so haven't had time to create much. Looking at other people's studios from various crafting types (even messy studios) gives me ideas on how I want to organize my future studio, but more importantly, it gives me the strong desire to pull out my supplies and create something new and unique.
Other than that, I got some Michael's $1 bin supplies (larger wooden clothespins and such) to re-stock my teacher gifts supplies stash - no really cool crafting stuff like a new punch or anything.
Ran to HL yesterday for some adhesive. Then a stamp (40% off) and a pack of rhinestones (just $2.99) jumped into my hands! I couldn't shake them loose so I just bought 'em...didn't want to make a scene and all... :rolleyes:
Im pretty shocked but I was trying to save for vacation, so I didn't spend money on crafts/stamps since April!!!!! Even on my vacation, when I said I was going to Viva Las Vegas stamp store I didnt!!!!! I didnt have withdrawals or anything!!!! I'm still alive!!! LOL it can be done!!!
Now I'm thinking about buying a stamp online that I want for a friends birthday but shipping is over $10!!!!!! YIKES!!!
I just bought a few days ago from Paperpretties.net and they had flat rate shipping $5 and free if you purchase over $50. Look around you might find some store with great deals.

Thanks for that. I've ordered online many times. The stamp I want is from a specific company, and a specific stamp. Most places I order from have reasonable shipping fees. This company also has over 50 for free, but dont really want to spend 50 :(
It is a gift for someone, so I guess I will just buy it. Stamp cost less then the shipping!!! Oh Well
Last purchase was last Sunday at Stamp and Create. Bought lots of rubber stamps and cosmo cricket and october afternoon paper. Thinking of shopping at Gina K's tonight, new release today.
