stamping party?

[laurenrambles.livejournal.com]

i recently received an invitation to a stamping party. im not exactly sure what this means. my friend sent an email invitation, and all it said was that its a card making party - a demonstration by the woman who sells the materials, and then card making fun. it sounds fun enough, cause its crafty... but i dont want to get there and wind up having to buy stuff i dont really need (since i do plenty of damage just buying the stuff i already use for crafting). does anyone know about these sorts of parties or what to expect?

and since i finally got a digital camera - heres some pics of recent projects


i posted questions about this a while back - i dont know if anyone remembers :)
a wire sculpture of a shoe (that actually fits on my foot - though its not very sturdy)


same shoe with its model


and a tissue box cover i decoupaged a while back. i stole the idea from a friend.
