Well, personally I've really been spoiled by my loved ones this year! We went to a X'mas Expo on the 23rd of Dec where I got lots of paper, ribbon and punches at give away prices as it was the last day of the show and the vendors started to clear their left over stock. My DH also got met a ligth box to use for embossing and I can't wait to use it! I've collected lots of stencils in the past year and finally I can use them! And then today I dropped into our local news agent and discovered that they now also stock some scrapping goodies! Not a lot, but still, I could not resist getting some Rugby ball stickers (our national sport over here - almost like American grid iron). Was the first time I've seen these and they would be perfect for a LO of DH in his school days on the Rugby team! Anyways, enough babbling about me! What did everyone else get?

I was quite pleased with my scrappy gifts. I think I would have been disappointed if I hadn't received SOMETHING scrapbook related. Everyone knows though how much I love to scrap though so the biggest dilemma I heard from everyone was "I wasn't sure about what you already had." My husband's aunt got me 2 BEAUTIFUL paper sets that came with embellishments and all and some beautiful flower stickers and 2 pairs of deco scissors (which out of all the ones she could have gotten and I already have, she picked 2 I didn't have.) My MIL bought me a School Days set she said she ordered from Avon. My DH bought me a lace border punch that he said he had a hard time finding after I told him that was the one I wanted but could never find in the LSS. He ordered it online for me. My best friend gave me a $25 gift card to Hobby Lobby and I have already spent it! I went there and bought lots of little things I had been wanting. Now, I can't wait to use everything! Santa did bring my 5...

What scrappy gifts did you get for X'mas?

Wow, those are great gifts Teresa! How do you find the Big Shot? I've just seen the ad for it in the December issue of Keepsakes. We don't have them here in SA yet. Is it very different from Sizzix?

Thanks Judy. So far I like it better. It's lighter than the Sizzix and a little wider than the Zip 'e Mate. They will have dies for small boxes and cards. It uses all the Sizzix dies without violating the warranty. It operates like the Zip 'e Mate and Sidekick by turning a handle instead of pulling down on a handle, and cut all at one time instead of having to move and cut again. HTH.
