Wow! There's a lot more than I thought...

Okay, I really didn't think that I had bought that much stuff. We went out at least once a day, sometimes twice to several places.You pick up 1 or 2 things here, 1 or 2 things there. You use them or store them to take home, then when you pull them out you see this...



a HECK of a lot more than I thought! LOL.
So what did I get? Here's the break down...
Quickutz - Flourish 12" border die (I fell in LOVE with this when Tammy was here, I REALLY wanted the vine but this is the one they had)
Basic Grey- Recess chipboard & Travel Rub-ons (picked them up at Big Lots no less)
BoBunny- Ornamental clear stamps (this was the splurge- nothing particular in mind but LOOK at that corner stamp! isn't it gorgeous!)
Stickles- turquoise, aqua, yellow, & orange peel (it's about time I get a few & I thought these colors would be perfect for summer LOs-that's what I'm working on)
Me & My Big Ideas- bling skull & music notes ( clearance $1!)
StazOn - mustard (it's our school color & I've watched the stamping on transparencies at 2 peas, they didn't use colors but I think I will)
Studio G- small clear stamp sets June, July, October, & flowers (from the $1 spot at Michaels!)
Meri Meri- Easter die cut
Jolee's - Rock & Roll (this was a gift from Ruth) & Concert
Sandylion- Owls (another gift from Ruth), Circus, & Grad
Spare Parts- assorted bright, summer colored brads (for the LOs I'm working on)
Making Memories- die cut Road sign (Ruth saw a LO at Studio Calico & lifted it, she did a Fabulous job & I can't wait to lift her lift! LOL)
Craft & White cardstock
Clear binder covers ( from Staples $13, for stamping on - told you I watched the videos)
Creative Cafe'- 6 felt ribbons (only got 1 yard each they were $2 a yard! do you see that itty bitty bit of green???? that's ALL I have left! I've used up the rest of it! :o) )
& LOTS of foam ( I'll tell you about that later after I've had a chance to play with it myself)
So that's it, that's EVERYTHING I bought on my vacation except for the papers that I have already cut & put on LOs! Most everything here has a plan to be used in the very near future.
Since I'm working on sooo many LOs that are the same design and same subject (just different people) I'm trying to come up with different titles.
Ruth sent me some that I really like, she got them from a book she has called "Top Titles & Tips Too!".
I also googled and found a few websites that have title suggestions but if you know of another book out there I would LOVE to know what the name of it is.
I think this would be a GREAT investment, one that I would use again & again.
