Holy sweet mother of stamps


This Saturday Keith and I decided to do a little yard saleing. There was a huge one at daybreak that was pretty much all of daybreak. We found some amazing deals. Keith got some big florescent shop lights for the garage and the shed for $5. We got a toy tool work bench with all the parts for $5. This pretty much filled up the car. We went home to off load and go back, as all of that was just from the first street of yard sales that we stopped at. We decided that 2 cars might be a better idea because we were looking for large yard toys for the kids. I made it back to daybreak before Keith. Once we found each other again we went back to shopping. There was a yard saleing stamp’n stuff. I thought it was a great deal. I got a set of large stamps for $15, mean while Keith was grinning like a little school boy. He then told me that the reason he was late getting back to Daybreak was he stopped at another yard sale on the way and got a few rubber stamps for me. We went back to his car and he opened the trunk. I just about screamed. He stopped at a yard sale that had a whole table of rubber stamps from stamp’n. they were all listed for $10 - $15 a box, ( still a good deal) he was not sure which ones I would like so he just asked out of curiosity how much for the whole table? The husband of the women saleing them said $100. DONE!!!! The women was not so happy and looked like she was going to throw up. She asked if he would at least go up to $120. Still done. For $120 my wonderful husband bought me 615 rubber stamps. Easily almost $1200- $2000 in stamps. We figure it was about .20 cents a stamp, and $1.80 a box. It is AWSOME!!!!! Me likely.
