Hi Cindy!
I have been holding off buying stamps for ages, for fear of getting hooked I think! But I bought such a cite "Merry Christmas" and one and one with a Christmas tree and stars around i, that I just culdnt resist - bought some gold and black ink too - whoops!
I agree I am dying to have a go at embossing, but the cost of the heat gun puts me off enough for now - like you I just know I will become addicted!
My crafting started a year ago with cross stitch, which I still do, but you watch shows and read magazines and your interest gets sparked by other crafts - lethal - but arent we all so creative! LOL
