I have NOT held strong on no holiday stuff this year

I bought 3 Christmas sets. And I'm mixing them with my older stuff.

When I saw the greetery stuff I thought about buying but $$$ talks!!

I was frozen this year all the way up until about August. I have bought some stuff since then, but not too bad.

I am going to be at an actual LSS tomorrow and I have a small wishlist to fulfill. Then I am going hard frozen for a long, long while.

Also, I have been organizing my craft room and found parts of 4 classes that I haven’t done.

I need nothing else.

Ok that large die of the slippers is too cute and you need that! I think I might too. I don't know if i like the large die or the small die of the month better!  They are both super cute!

Christmas cards are my most favorite thing to make so Christmas supplies are always on the top of my list of things to buy. I have so much Christmas stuff that I could go for years without shopping. I enrolled in the PF Event, so I received a lot of supplies in that box, plus I caved on all three of the Waffle Flower Postage stamp stencils, and I received a few things in the fall Crop & Create box. Other than the WF though, I don't think I went out of my way to purchase anything else.

I have the small die of the month club membership at Spellbinders, so I’ll have that cute bear & penguin set coming. Tonight I’ll be seeing more sneak peeks of the Honeybee Stamps winter release. Anything I buy, except for word stamps, will go to 2026 Christmas cards. I already have the Honeybee candy cane dies picked out for my 2025 cards. I love winter and Christmas products, so I’ll use my card credits to buy things from them. They’re my favorite company, so other releases will just give me ideas.

The penguin in the SB Small Die of the Month club is probably the cutest die cut penguin I've ever seen. That's an awesome set. The slippers are great, too, and my MIL and SILs would absolutely love those cards, they're big into slippers. I'm thisclose to signing up for the clubs this month.

I bought the Kristina Werner large berries die set because my husband asked me to make 60 Christmas cards for his clients and I think that would be the simplest card to make. I started on them this past weekend and am thinking I may not feel like making Christmas cards for our own friends and family after this, but I also can't resist Christmas releases. We'll see how it goes! My own cards I usually don't even start on until early December, so I have time to make these 60 for clients, get sick of making Christmas cards, and then get my second wind and buy new product and make another batch for our personal cards.

Over the weekend I had my shopping cart loaded with a WF die + stencil set and white pigment ink I keep meaning to buy (which would be used with the stencil set). It was a little marked down and then 12% off but still a little pricey with shipping. So I emptied my cart and found a video on how to use an embossing folder I already have in 3 different ways.

And then I got an email that the set was marked down again (but maybe only to the same level as before with the 12%?) so I'm starting to waver... Please tell me to go try out the techniques with the folder and use what I've got! It's really beautiful and should look way more impressive for relatively little effort.

I *may* have a few things in my cart over at SB's, that fuzzy slipper kit among them... Maybe they will sell out before I get back there...

I’m waiting on the Oct. 16th Christmas release by Honeybee Stamps. I’m a monthly subscriber of Spellbinders small DOM club, so that cute bear and penguin set is heading my way. I’ve held firm on no new paper though. This is my second post. I should have edited the first one. But yeah, I’ll be buying more stuff soon.😂

Hanging my head in shame.  I bought the Delivering Joy Sleigh die from Spellbinders.  In my defense I’m making over 50 cards this year and I just couldn’t do another one with a Santa, snowman or poinsettia.
