Last night I was pleasantly surprised to find that the UPS man had paid a visit to my house while I was at work. In fact, I about knocked Braeya off the recliner in my hurry to get to the front door to retrieve the box. The box turned out to weigh a lot more than I imagined, so I had to resort to dragging it into the house.
My stamp order arrived.
Not postage stamps. Rubber stamps. And ink pads. And ink refills. And some new stamp sets. And LOTS of card stock. I used to sell stamps to feed my addiction...I mean build my collection. It really was a great gig for a fresh out of college, rather broke girl. But then my schedule got too busy and I couldn't fit in the time to be the demonstrator that a demonstrator should be, so I gave up selling. And in doing that, I also gave up my stamp buying money. So now I only get to place one or two big orders a year - after a tax refund or a Christmas gift or something. This year I think I owned the little bit of money for about fifteen minutes before I placed my order.
And now it's here. I am ready to book a vacation day so that I can stay in my jammie pants all day long, forget makeup and hair, and just stamp my little heart out.
I'm a little crazy, I know. But it could be worse, don't you think?
Oh and in other crazy news...I started planning next year's Christmas card last night. I need therapy, don't I?

Sounds like a great plan! I keep saying I'm going to book a scrapping day, but it hasn't happened. And now I'm 3 years behind! Have fun and think of me!
Oh I will!! I'm so bad about scrapping if it's just me - but I love to have a big day of it at the church or with my friend Faith. I get a LOT done on those days!! :)
You lost me. You received a heavy box with stuff to make stamps? You sold them? What are we talking about?
All I can think of is maybe a kit to make stamps for people's addresses for letters or something?
LOL - these are rubber stamps. I'm guessing you don't hang out in Hobby Lobby a whole lot so to tell you check the stamp aisle won't work. Here. Try this (and don't tell anyone so that no one makes fun of you). www.stampinup.com - you can view the online catalog and see my addiction.
I use them to make all my cards (Christmas, birthday, anniversary, wedding, you name it) and my scrapbooks.
And remember what I said...there are worse addictions to have. Okay NOW you can resume laughing at me.
