my one thousanth point! What to buy? What to buy? Or should I wait for two thousand? What do you do? How many points do you have?

mgehrke · Mon May 21, 2012 5:39 pm

Save them and challenge yourself to see how many you can collect. That is what I am doing. As of this post I will have 8816. Actually I am waiting until I can place a $50 order then I am also going to use 8000 of my points. Can you say $40 worth of free scrappy supplies. Oh and I still have a $5 GC

1grandma · Mon May 21, 2012 5:41 pm

Mildred, how do you do that? They burn a hole in my pocket! But, maybe I should try to save up another thousand! BTW, good for you or being so controlled. I try, really, I do.

Ayla · Mon May 21, 2012 6:22 pm

As of this post, I will have 3494. I am saving them too.... not sure what for, but likely for some projects for Christmas gifts. I still have two Kaiser wooden reindeer to alter!

I agree Mildred -- GOOD FOR YOU!!! I could never wait that long! I have used 1000 a few months ago for the first time... I have 697 now. I was so happy Bibi when I first started posting right after NSD and you told me I got a point for posting

Gotta get those points when you can!

I always have a wishlist going... so I'm using them in my mind even before I've earned them

blfonty · Mon May 21, 2012 7:23 pm

Since I'm fairly new to ACOT my points are just starting to build up. It's fun watching them increase and get closer to being usable on products. I also enjoy getting points for participating in challenges, etc. I really don't know if I could hold out to reach a number as high as some of you...time will tell.

Sandi0805 · Mon May 21, 2012 7:27 pm

I just reached 9000 and this is the second highest that I have ever gotten. I think I was at over 14000 one time. I have been trying to use up some of my stash so I haven't really been ordering other than for my envie and secret sister. Plus, the way that they have changed where you have to spend $20.00 to use $20.00 (total $40.00) etc. I just haven't had that much to order. I will say though, that there is alot of new stuff coming in that I like and I may just have to put that order in and use some of the points.

1grandma · Mon May 21, 2012 7:38 pm

I try to get points by posting in any thread. My bff doesn't seem to care if she posts or not. We are each different. But you see me on the MB as often as I can be. Love the points and now I am loving the other (you) cherries, too! I get involved emotionally. It is a bad habit I have. And it is really nice that some of the threads like Good Morning and Smiles and Frowns and Caturday among the several are just free points! So, I always reply to them. Or start my own thread. Like this one. I am tricky like that. hehe;)

Wheeliegirl · Mon May 21, 2012 7:58 pm

Save them. I'm saving mine....not by choice. I have 14,812. They can't be used with digital stuff and I don't paper scrap as much. I'm thinking about doing a mini album of my 2 great nieces so maybe I'll place an order for lot's of pink stuff, ribbons, and flowers.

1grandma · Mon May 21, 2012 8:24 pm

Or you could use them for your secret sister if you have one.

LOL, I see you talking about me...you can't hide on ACOT, hehee!! I just pick and choose my postings more, that's all. But keep posting, I do enjoy them and see, I do answer, LOL. Now that you have 1000, can you make it to the next??? I'm at 1592 and since you post at least twice as much as I, then perhaps you'll beat me there??? Can you, huh?? I know you like a challenge.

lsdopey · Mon May 21, 2012 10:28 pm

Save them - it's great to save $20 + on an order! I've got 4245 points right now .... still trying to decide what to spend them on.

I'm a closet point horder. I like to save up big time (3000+) and then shop like crazy - or buy the one item that I really want but was too costly without the points.

Mon May 21, 2012 11:34 pm

I currently have 1491 and also trying to decide whether to order now or wait for 2000. lol Good luck to you

Debbie, you wicked girl! Challenging me. Just to tease! Bad, Bad Bad girl. I should tell your moma on you. lol Besides, if I spent much more time on here, my dh might get upset. I like it that you pick and choose. I pick and choose too, just more than you. You got that many points and haven't used them? Do you have a fever?

Like what? Punches are expensive. Would you buy one of those?
