Hero Arts 2010

Since I saw the online 2010 catalog of Hero Arts I've been itching to buy a bunch of their stamps.  Since they're stamps are kindda pricey, I have to limit myself to the ones that I really want immediately.  Over the holidays, I've been collecting clear and rubberstamps that has an Asian element design.  When I saw the 2010 releases, I was so overwhelmed and told myself, I need to have those.  Unknowingly, Cuttlebug will release a nice line of embossing folders with Asian element as their theme.   Asian stamps and Asian CB embossing folder was a perfect tools for an Oriental theme cards and projects. 

Here are pictures of my latest toys:

One of the few images I also start collecting are robots and monsters/creatures.  I think they are so cute!

Since I've spent a good amount of $$$, I got the Hero Arts 2010 Catalog for free (Price:$10). Yipee!

BTW those two cling mounted background stamps on the front?  I think those are Tim Holtz designs exclusively for Hero Arts.

Unity Stamps at Paper Maniac

Same day we went to Austin,  my package from Paper Maniac was delivered in the house.  I got these babies for 50% off and I wish I could buy some more.  But I promise Ed I would limit my purchases until all the things that we need for the house was bought.

   Better start using these toys....

7kidscollegefund Clearance Blowout

Thought I'm done shopping but then again Tab sent out another email and like usual, I just can't let it pass. Bought 3 sets of Penny Black stamps and a bunch of High Hopes.  High Hopes!? Again??? Well, can't help it, they're as nice as Whipper Snapper.

Finally, the BOBO box came today!

Nov 19, I've placed an order from 7kidscollegefunds.  I got an email from Tab that day informing that High Hopes stamps were back on stock again.  I immediately placed my order and was expecting to get the stamps in a couple days.  Unfortunately, I screwed up the billing and the shipping address.  Of course, the box went to the billing address then back here in the States.  Good we have a forwarding address, which is my DFIL's house.  I find it interesting that particular priority package was sent from NJ then to CA then a long pause in between then Philly and finally got in Scranton.  Why would somebody send an item to east coast, then sent to westcoast then back to east coast?  I find that very stupid and a waste of money.  Not complaining, just think its stupid. I'm really glad though that I finally got it after more than a month of waiting for it and worrying if I will still get it.

I think its too late now to use them for my Christmas cards.
