I purchased a citrus twist album, some Heidi swapp Halloween stamps and the Heidi swapp Halloween class. It was all for October daily.

I started a Hip kit subscription and purchased some kits and dues during their sale yesterday. Other than that, I only bought a few things. I went to CKC in Manchester yesterday and only purchased a few titles from Petticoat parlor, the chipboard titles and ephemera packs from the new fall 49th and market collection and 2 shaker mixes.

not much tbh - some individual cardstock sheets for a project, some adhesive, magnetic sheets (die storage), glitter paste, 3 stamp sets from Everyday Explorers...I think that might be all

Way too much….😬
I joined Hip Kit Club, bought stuff for Christmas, had a large order I have been adding to from scrapbook generation, got one of Allison David’s kits from We Create, got a ton of things for DSs Kindergarten album, few tools. Oh and k went to Expo and got a bunch of good deals there on some things. But I haven’t done shopping in a long while and besides the Hip Kit club monthly and maybe a few bits and pieces from new kits.

Simple Stories Harvest Market for my October Daily (will mix and match with some collections I already own), some random papers with an ocean/ boat/ sailing theme for a reading project/album I might do next year, and yesterday I found a Simple Stories travel collection paper pad from 2016 at a thrift store for $5... I didn't know Simple Stories made 12 by 12 paper pads, but I guess they did because there was also a wedding one for sale.

I purchased a citrus twist album ... Which color did you choose? I like CT's beautiful array of album colors; unfortunately, they're not offered in 12x12. ... and yesterday I found a Simple Stories travel collection paper pad from 2016 at a thrift store for $5... I didn't know Simple Stories made 12 by 12 paper pads, but I guess they did because there was also a wedding one for sale. IIRC the SS 12x12 paper pads were part of the SN@P! (pocket scrapbooking) line previously sold at Hobby Lobby (& subsequently at now-defunct Tuesday Morning). |

I purchased quite a bit from Ali Edwards’ December Daily collection, an Halloween collection from Crafters Companion, and the Cricut Joy Xtra machine and some supplies for that. I quit my subscriptions to Cocoa Daisy and Hip Kit Club because I have too much product already.

I bought the new CV line and some pieces from Shimelle's new collection as well. My favourite Aussie online lss is closing so I ordered some album, page protectors, some more distress oxides, and a couple of fun things. I also ordered the Paislee Press mini kit and an album for my DD this year and picked up the older mini kit at half price.

Too much! But, I went to a real store Saturday. I bought 2 Christmas collections, some single sheets of paper, some embellishment packets, a Christmas stamp, 2 Stickles, some teeny glue dots for gems, and 4 albums from Crafts Direct online.
Back to the freezer!

I bought the Elle's Studio Fall and Halloween new releases, and the Ali Edwards new Halloween Kit. I wanted to buy Ali's 2022 Halloween Kit, too, but shipping for that one was over $15 so I passed.
I also bought Ali's new online class "Start here", and her Fall one from last year.
Just remembered - I also bought Taylored Expression's new Quad release for Christmas, plus some inks.

I'm not sure I want to answer this question.  I purchased Shimelle's new collection in its entirety, and most of the AC Halloween Collection. I also picked up quite a bit of the new AC Moonlight Magic Collection. Ali's new Halloween collection. I shopped the Hip Kit fall sale on Saturday and bought a grab bag and several kits (so, so many kit...). ETA: Plus, I get the NJFB kits each month! |

A foam pumpkin, faux succulents, and decorative moss for a fall center piece.
Paint and flooring for my new room, file cabinet, Dream Box 2, Deluxe Crown, Dream Cart, 4 Cubbies, and other accessories to totally update my new craft space. I am so blessed! NOW to assemble the Dream Box 2, but first put on the dreamy Spoonflower Peel and stick wallpaper to decorate!

I bought a lot of the new Tim Holtz Halloween collection this year as well as a few other Halloween stamps & dies. I didn't really have a ton of Halloween cardmaking supplies so I'm justifying this purchase with that LOL!
I have been using them though. I've made 30 Halloween cards so far!

I went to the Simple Stories warehouse sale. Merry Christmas to me.  I usually can't justify buying embellishments because of the price, but they were $1.00. That was the bulk of my purchase. I also bought four stamp sets, a couple of paper pads, a $5.00 Halloween and Valentine's collection (to make cards for my son's class). I'm definitely focusing on buying the basics like adhesives and page protectors for quite a while. I'm slowly figuring out PhotoShop and learning how to print digital embellishments. I am tech challenged!
Oh, except for maybe molding paste and possibly distress inks because I bought stencils. 
I think it was during this quarter I purchased a 6x6 stamp with measuring tape images. I can't remember the manufacturer.

Too much! But, I went to a real store Saturday. ... You're lucky (although I realize your bank account may not agree)! There are no LSSs left here, & I miss the in-person supply shopping experience - perusing entire walls bursting with a rainbow of Bazzill cardstock, aisles filled with multiple racks of patterned papers, pegs full of embellishments & tools, etc. <sigh>[ |

It was worth it. Eau Claire has a lovely store with fun people. |

I’ve spent more than usual during this quarter. I bought:
Queen & Co.’s Holiday House, Halloween house add on, Halloween Endless Shaker add on, and shaker pieces.
Some Karen Burniston pop up die sets, most new releases.
Several paper pads and dies from Heartfelt Creations ongoing warehouse sale.

Note "clear stamps" were originally (i.e. almost two decades ago & including the then-popular Technique Tuesday & Autumn Leaves brands) made of acrylic which eventually turns yellow & melty/sticky as you described. For about a decade now, most scrapbook & stamping companies (American Crafts & its brands are notable exceptions) have made "clear stamps" using photopolymer that does not turn yellow or melty/sticky. If you recently purchased "clear stamps" made of quality photopolymer (check their product descriptions), they will last beyond a few uses & "a year or two." HTH. |

HTH. thanks for the info! i've only been buying clear stamps again in the past year. still not a huge fan but they fit the bill for one and done projects and the price point is better than rubber stamps. they are also more readily available than rubber. |

Thanks for your responses, & hope you enjoy your hauls! After only buying paper holders & fridge bins for supply storage during the first half of the year, I purchased pattern paper, several stencils, a stamp set, a die, & a Silhouette Cameo 4 this quarter.
