I'll go first....

What kind of tools do you have? TONS....most everything I could ever need... really!

Any you are wishing for? hrm... a melting pot.. the suze one... but thats a bit pricey... :D I'd use the coluzzle bag template or the file folders one... been wanting those two bad... got the library pocket (thanks MC!) and use it ALOT!

Favorite embellishment? ribbon and stamps! can never have too much ribbon... that new American Crafts stuff is AWESOME....

Products or styles of things you'd NEVER use? mrs. grossmans, printed diecuts, most diecuts in general unless they are like the ones that come with basic grey stuff... photo printed backgrounds (the background is a picture just faded)...

What kind of tools do you have? I have an eyelet setter set, chalk set, ink pads, rubberstamps, among other things.

Any you are wishing for? It's too expensive but I'd love the silent setter or some dies for my sidekick. Something to organize my ribbons and fibers. More embossing powders.

Any product lines you would DIE to own? No. I'm a girl who just shops on "oooh" "cool" "neat" factors.

Favorite embellishment? Heat embossing, rubber stamping, stickers of all kinds.

Any you are wishing for? Xyron, the new Fastenator, CM cutting system (the shapes one) or a Coluzzle

Favorite embellishment? Anything metal LOL

Products or styles of things you'd NEVER use? I rarely use decorative stickers. Most of the stickers I use are alphabet stickers.

(Between being a teacher and saving things for years, and from taking art classes when I went back to college for another degree that I still haven't finished, and working in an art store for a year or so and being the manager's pet who gave me tons of free supplies she got from vendors, I've got a freaking scrapbook store in my hobby room!! :-) And don't even get me started on those 40% and 50% coupons to Michael's and Joann's and Hobby Lobby! :-)

Now that I've thought out what I have, I realize I've been wanting one of those heat embossing things (like a hair dryer) and some embossing powders to go with it--also, I'd like to try out those Fiskar embossing things with the changeable templates (about 12X12 size, I think).

Don't really need one, but those Silent Setter thingies might be fun. Can't figure out why it's called Silent though, those things'll wake the dead just as much as whacking the eyelets with a hammer! ;-)

Curious about quilling, and would like to experiment with that at some point, I think there's a sharp tool for that? (Guess I could use my meat thermometer.)

I'd like to get one of those smaller Fiskar's paper cutters that cost about $24 or so at Michael's to take with me to crops instead of lugging the big one around (it's about twice the size of the more portable one).

Oh, and I'd like to learn how to make wire words, so tools for that and different kinds of wire. I have a roll of the plain silver kind.

Things I can't get enough of? Inkpads (I like all colors, and kinds), small stamps (wood back is fine), eyelets, brads, Sizzix dies (we're just starting to collect them), Sizzix converter and embossing plates, Sizzlets, that kind of thing.

Well, not DIE, LOL. :-) I've only been doing scrapbooking officially since last March or so, and I don't know all the company names, etc just yet. But I love those Jolee stickers that are 3D, and just so cute!! But too durned expensive most of the times unless I find them on sale at Big Lots.

Also, if I could rent someone to come to my house to organize all my genealogy stuff, my keepsakes to-be-scrapbooked stuff, and my tons of pictures from waaaaaaaaaay back into some sort of usable order, that would be great! :-) Also, someone to go through all my digital pics on my computer and get those bad boys organized too. That would be "totally awesome!" like Maya's started saying recently. :-)

Gotta be eyelets, then brads, then snaps, then fibers (but I have a TON of fibers and embroidery thread and ribbon, etc. so I don't need any of that!) Stamping--inkpads, especially metallic colors like gold, silver, copper, etc.

Again, not familiar with everything, haven't really found anything I don't care for at all! :-) Except maybe glue dots. I have trouble with glue dots straight out of the box. I understand there's some sort of runner or something for those things? Never seen one though.

Hope this helps! :-)

Carolyne "On our next episode, come see what I've got in my kitchen spice cabinet!" in TX ;-)

I have the Provocraft Silent Setter and it really does not make any noise! It punches the holes and sets the eyelets by just pushing it down with your hand. You don't use a hammer with it. Hope this helps... Susanne

i have that one too and LOVE it ... totally silent!!!

I have a Sizzix a Xyzron,heat and dry embellishing tools,All the CM cutting system, eyelet setter,stamps,punches, I would love to have a silent setter. I think if my DH read this he would be astounded that I would "need" any thing else. LOL

Hugs, Sabrina

Carolyne,

Can I move into your craft room forever. {{{sitting on the floor GREEN with envy}}}}

Kate

What kind of tools do you have? I just have the basics, trimmer etc.

Any you are wishing for? I'd like to get a heat gun for embossing.

Any product lines you would DIE to own? I really like the Wild Asparagus stuff. I've always liked the SEI and similar stuff too.

Favorite embellishment? Ribbons are okay but I'll take fibers over them anyday. I also like brads of all sizes, shapes and color.

Products or styles of things you'd never use? K&Co, Making Memories, Jolies, Mrs. G., die cuts and bulky/thick things. I don't like frilly stuff or the collage type stuff.

Katrina in KS (the flat scrapper)

Not in the shape it's in right now! OOOOOOO!! We used my two tables at the park for Maya's birthday and stuff got scattered everywhere, plus I've been throwing things in there as I organize Maya's playroom and the rest of the house and it's just a scary big mess right now. Hopefully someday I'll get it fully organized so if I need something, I don't have to dig through a bunch of stuff to find it! :-)

That tv show called "Clean Sweep" gives me the shivers. :-\ They'd have a field day in there throwing everything away because I'm such a pack rat, but it never fails, I *need* the stuff I've saved for other projects! Waste not, want not, I always say. ;-)

God has just really blessed me with a lot of my stuff-- I usually don't pay full price for things, or people have given me stuff over the years. Now if I can just get organized-- remember! Whoever my SS is, I'd really like to open my present and find someone in the box who can organize all my stuff! LOL! :-)

Any and Everything I don't have. I guess I'd like to make alphabet die cuts. I do have a set of alphabet punches

Favorite embellishment?

I'm loving shaped brads right now but I use a lot of stickers so I'd love that giant sticker album book that runs around 50 I think. Don't remember where I saw it or what it's called... UGH! That's what I'd love.

Judy, SA

Sorry I am late answering these...haven't been online much lately...cheerleading competition season starts this weekend for my DD's team, so now we get REALLY busy!

So, for my answers...

Tools I have: Circle and oval cutters, Fiskars 12 inch trimmer, good scissors, loads of markers, xyron 510

Wish for: silent setter

Product lines: None that I'd willingly *die* for, lol, but I have been into Basic Grey and American Traditions stuff lately..

Embellishment: Don't have a favorite, but I have been thinking about those large monogram letters, and large letter stamps with acrylic paint

I haven't been using too many stickers or die-cuts lately, but that doesn't mean I won't...I have bunches of those too!
