Hi all,
I'm a PC Addict and a SU Addict, I need a 12 step program. :p
Anyway, my ?? is, I've been buying more SU Sets, as I use them for sending my hostesses notes, from Thank Yous, to get well, Christmas, when I had my Open House, DBC shows, all kinds of things. My ?? is, can I write off the cost of at least part of them for my PC business?? (That would make my hubby SO happy :D )

I want the opinion of people who've done this PC business, as this is my first year to submit taxes and want to know what you think.

Thanks,

Lisa

Well I've been busy with PC that I haven't stamped "for fun" in quite awhile, it's been all for my business!!

Thanks,

Lisa
 
Three weeks ago some of my PC hosts invited me to a Stampin Up party and I'm hooked. I'm having my own party in May. I've been using the Stamps for my PC business too!!
 
I listed mine under advertising. I use them to personalize my letters. The business set from SU is perfect for any of the direct sell businesses. :) Right now all of my stamps have been purchased strictly for business purposes, so I feel just fine making them business expenses. :D
