Sadly, I haven't bought anything recently.... =( However, I'm going shopping tomorrow!!! I am so excited! =)
I just went shopping yesterday!!! =)
I bought cards, some papers, seven ink pads (lilac, rose, sky blue, vibrant purple, red, green, and black), two gel pens (for writing inside of the cards- pink and blue), a corner-punch, 12 sheets of 8 by 8 paper, five sets of stickers,eight stamps, adhesive, and a green tin to store it all in ~ all for about $45! <3
Since I just started stamping, I needed to get some "basics", i guess. Okay, some of them weren't basics, but I luv shopping! :mrgreen:
My stamps are cute though- they say- "S.W.A.K.", "Thanks a bunch", "Way to go", "A little note", "Thinking of you", "friend", "A very merry birthday to you", "We do not remember days, we remember moments- Cesare Pavese"
Sorry for the long post, I was just so excited to share my purchases! =)
__________________ Goal for this summer: To make 100 scrapbooking pages!
I bought 2 new Stampendous Bees - 1 eating the watermelon and 1 riding a bike w/flag. Also purchased a bear eating pizza - I think it's by the same company that makes House Mouse stamps.

I just had to replace my corner rounder punch... the first one fell apart right in the middle of a project where I had to have it, so I ran to Robert's and the only one they had was the Marvy... I don't like it as well as my EK Success one that broke, but it does the job.

I bought a small paper punch, a variety of 12 x 12 scrapbook sheets, a couple yards of ribbon, 3 bottles of Stickles (Star Dust, Diamond and Copper) and a couple of rubber stamps. Now I need to put it all to use... ;)
I bought myself a few days ago the Martha Stewart bone folder(I like the shape of it) and a few things for a swap that I am in and to mail to a friend overseas.
I was feeling a bit sorry for myself and ordered some paper and ribbon from Papertrey. Then I went and ordered the Scor-Pal. I did all this damage to my Visa yesterday. But I will have fun playing later this week. *grin*
Since we've moved into our new house, I've been working on my stamp room. At Ikea I picked up a new desk ($50), chair ($20), and the rail system (mayb $15).
Recent Stampin' Up! purchase:
Stitched Exotics w/ matching jumbo wheel for free
Tart & Tangy
Summer Picnic DSP along with several other DSPs
Various cardstock colors
Ribbon galore!!
Celebrate Everything
A new stampin scrub since mine broke! grr!
And then little things like dimensionals
Probably spent about $200
I'd just like to add I had a whole quarter of a no buy from Stampin' Up!, so I kinda went all out. LOL
Location: Just west of Spokane, WA, on the rim of a lake with a beautiful view

I just ordered the new Mailbox set of stamps from Papertrey and was just notified that they have been mailed, spent 29.50, can't wait for them to arrive.
My most recent stamping/card making related purchase --three bags of acrylic baubles/pebbles from Michael's clearance rack....$2 each. Even with splitting the bags with dd there's no way I could ever use them all.
Prior to that were two CB embossing folders and one Great Impressions stamp.
I just placed an order with Unity Stamp Co. for the new handles set and a couple of backgrounds. I tried to resist, but couldn't do it. I hope I love the handles as much as I think I will. I hadn't bought any supplies since March, so I needed something new, right?!
Ben Franklin is having a sale this week (30% off everything in the store), so I HAD to shop, of course! I think my newest favorite toy is the button punch by EK Success that I picked up there. I love the look of buttons on a card, but in the interest of mailing a card without paying $14 extra because of the bulk, I think the punch is a good alternative. You can make a "button" out of any color card stock or printed papers, or even by using shrinky dinks! I just made a gift for my daughter's teacher, using this punch: Snail Pail
Hijack here! How cute is that?! Love your snail stamp! (The candle is yummy, too! Just bought one yesterday, on SALE!)
I must confess, I've been rather bad!* I placed some "Happy Mother's Day" to me orders!* 7kidscollegefund, Eclectic Paperie, Sweet n Sassy, The Cat's Pajamas, and today the last one was High Hopes!* I don't even want to add up the totals; lets just say I plan on being good for a while (a long while)!* Anyway, this will be a fun week with my new goodies arriving!
My SU color caddy came in on Friday! It's so nice to finally have a home for all my stamp pads that have been in teetering piles. The only problem is the SU caddy with extension is FULL! Guess I'll need to purchase another extension so I will have a home for the new In-Colors!
I'm the last of the big-time spenders. I just found 2 darling stamp sets at the Target Dollar Spot on clearance for 75% off. 25 cents each is such a deal. And I also got some cute ribbons, 6 yards for 25 cents.

I had ordered a Bind It All, wires, covers, and inside pages last week -- has not arrived yet -- but earlier today I ordered some additional wires from All That Scraps. With my luck, the wires will get here before the BIA does!
I ordered 5 new stamps from American Art Stamps- a site I would never had known about if I had not joined this one!!! I have only been on this site since April but I am blown away & how much I have learned, places, techniques............ Thanks everyone!!!
This is sad, but I am going to try to bring a smile to many people....
Yesterday, a friend gave me 8 stamping sets that belonged to her mother. Her mother, age 48 died suddenly in March. I am so honored and thrilled that the family thought of me to give these sets to. I am going to make as many neat cards as I can in honor of the lady who had these before me and give them to the family as a thank you for this kind gift. I knew the prior owner and she was a creative and crafty lady, not to mention a loving wife and caring mother of 2. She will be missed, but I will think of her everytime I get my stamps out - I write this post in memory of Kim Baldwin.

How awesome of you to make the cards for the family.
Let's see. I ordered Friends Furever, Gone to the Dogs, 2 acrylic mounts, new ribbon, and the new pearlescent watercolors from My Favorite Things. I also ordered Koh-i-noor pencils from Dick Blick and Gina K. design's odorless mineral spirits, blending stumps, ultra clean, glitter dots, and 2 colors of stickles. I don't want to know how much I spent so I refuse to add it up!
I just went to Hobby Lobby here in Phoenix for the first time and their stamps were 50% off. I bought several stamps and used the coupon on the CB butterfly die with embossing folders. Then before we went home I begged a quick stop at Big Lots and found a few more stamps for $2 and $4 apiece.
I just ordered a whole bunch of SU cardstock; there are so many colors I'm down to scraps of! I also ordered reinkers, and just one stamp set: Celebrate Everything.
I just received an order from another source, with a variety of individual stamps, two of which will be used for Christmas Cards. I really like them and so I hope I will be motivated to start my holiday cards early this year!
I just received my order from All That Scraps! I got some Basic Gray paper, Inkadinkadoo stamps, and the Billy set from Pink Cat Studios! Oh and that cute little penguin guy stamp from imaginesce!
I bought a container of Mona Lisa odorless mineral spirits (OMS) and a set of 6 blending stumps (various sizes) at my local art supply store. Spent a little under $15.
I already own some Prisma pencils, but wanted to try the OMS technique for blending AND I LOVE IT!
I bought an alphabet for my cuttlebug. I got the tag sale alphabet for 21.00. I have not gotten a chance to play with it yet, but I hope to soon. I have not actually made a card with anything out of my bug, but I am fascinated with how it works and I keep running things through it just because I can.
I just bought the 120 count of Prismacolor pencils and the 48 count of Koh-I-Noor color pencils I couldn't decided which one I wanted more and I got great prices on both of them on eBay (both sets cost less than buying the 120 prismacolor pencils at Dick Blick, including the shipping). I also purchased the Sticky sheets and micro beads from Pennywise. It's a good thing that my mom sold alot of my stuff in a garage sale on the weekend to pay for all this stuff. Now I have to wait to get them and try them out.
I just bought from Cornish Heritage Farms, I bought several unmounted stamps from the Mushroom Lane line. This week they are coming out with a new designer so I know my addiction will be kicking in. Also going to buy the turtles in the friendly critters line also.
I just bought the Tim Holtz stamp binder, some of the Adirondack paint daubers and some new basic grey paper on the weekend. The parcel arrived today, has been snuck downstairs, and it's ready to unpack and hide away while DH is out grocery shopping.:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
