My Stamp-a-ma-jig. I put off getting one forever because "who really needs that?!" but once I finally got one, I don't see how I ever did without it. It's one of my most used items (aside from cutters).
For me it's gotta be my Copic markers, Silhouette, and the Slice. I LOVE my copics (although I was recently introduced to Tombows and they were pretty fun) and I don't regret that purchase at all. I have run into so many people that have said they bought a few colours but just didn't like them... (nevermind the fact that they probably didn't purchase compatible colours and therefore probably didn't get great results. And I have found that most people need hands-on lessons to learn the blending techniques...)
I also love love love my Silhouette. I don't use it daily or anything, but it works really well, I love the new software and the die cuts available through the online store, and the projects I make with it look really professional. I like the Slice because it's handy to have right on my workspace, and it's really easy to use.

I design for: Stampendous!, There She Goes, Technique Tuesday,
SRM Stickers and Deconstructed Sketches.
SU stamps (all unmounted now), wheels (love wheels) and SU dye ink and pens.
Cricut Expression, Cricut Cake and Gypsy and all the cartridges I have (I'm careful about what to buy so I don't duplicate)
Cuttlebug embossing folders and I use now for my Sizzix Original dies, much easier on my hands than my old red Sizzix which I loved. The Old Red Sizzix and dies that are duplicates to my cartridges was donated to a teacher to use.
ATG gun, wow, way faster than double stick tape. Bone folder, Crimper, Ott Lite, Martha Stewart Score Board and all the other accumulated supplies. Flocking, glitter, glitter glues and embossing powders, I just love the look of these embellishments.
I'm addicted, I like the stuff I purchase, although sometimes I get carried away and have to create something to use up my, "Oh, I bought these why?" purchases, LOL!!!
Genesis paper trimmer, Scor-Pal, Cuttlebug, Nesties, Ott light, ATG...

Tonight it was my heat gun...I made 14 of those beaded pens and they would not stay glued. I was about to toss them and then read that heating might help...and it did!
Scorepal, Tonic Cutter, and redesigning my craft room and buying new furniture for the sole purpose of crafting. Why did I wait so long???
Now I need to make the drapes since the wedding is over...75 invites, 120 m&m candy jars, 6 scrapbooks, 120 thank you cards...that room was busy the last year!
Don't think I could make a card without my stamp a ma jig and scoreboard. For a long time I thought the Scor pal was silly. But y'all convinced me to try. How did I live w/out it? And another thing I thought was crazy was the ATG. Again y'all tempted me. I got one at Ms yesterday ($39 and used a 50% coupon) and I'm hooked. Can't quit picking it up and glueing things. Even tried glueing the dog to the cat but the bond wasn't quite strong enough! :-)
my ScrapRack
- So nice that I can actually find my items now instead of living in a perpetual mess. I used to get so frustrated and spent most of my time just looking for things. I'm still adding to it, but it is so nice when packing for a crop.
my ATG.
-Would never want to go back to small tape runners.
My stamp collection.
My ink collection.
My Copic marker collection.
Stamp-a-ma-jig!
My Spica & Sakura glitter gel pen collection.
Good white cardstock.
Black cardstock.
My patterned paper collection.
Big Kick
My die and embossing folder collection.
My punch collection.
All the storage to keep the above collections collected.
In the category of TOOLS, probably my Genesis Trimmer would be #1. It's not perfect, but way ahead of all the other trimmers I tried over the years. #2 would be my ATG gun and 3M gold tape. #3 would be my Score-It. I also have all the other Scoring tools but Score-It is the only one that makes deep enough scoring lines to be beautiful. It's not perfect either, but is way ahead of all the other ones.
For what I consider TOYS, my 50% -off Cuttlebug tickles me every time I use it. SUCH fun!
I'm glad I broke down and finally bought all the supplies to unmount and organize ALL my stamps. It wasn't that expensive (TIO&O, binders, page protectors, & acetate sheets), but it was a huge job and took about 6 weeks to finally get it all done. Now, my stamps are so organized and I'm not riffling through boxes trying to find that one perfect stamp I need.
Hands down, no doubt about it, 100% glad that I purchased the Perfect Layers tools. I have had them for many years now and I use them on nearly every paper crafting project I do.

My Big Shot, Embossing Folders, ATG with 7502 reverse wound tape, Martha Stewart score board with her pink bone folder, Copics, SCAL, all my Nesties and my Xyrons.
My cuttlebug, my embossing folders, and my scor-pal.
PS: Kelli, I am looking into an Ott Light and am wondering what size you have? I looked at them today, but too many choices, so decided to wait. And then see here you have one. Any recommendations? Would a small one work as well as a larger, floor model one? Thanks.

What is reverse wound tape?????

Big Shot (so much easier than my CB and love the Movers and Shapers dies that don't
fit in the CD)
Tombow Multi Mono Glue (this stuff is the best I have ever used)
ATG gun (there is a learning curve but once over that it is the best!)
Scor It (Use it everyday! You can score at any interval.)
SU Punches (tried others but always ended up returning them)
I've had an atg gun for 8 years. Finally broke and missed it so much I bought a new one couldn't live without it. My Big shot so much better than the orginal Sizzix machine.
LOL, I'd love to know that myself! Sounds intriguing...
OK, on further searching, I think ALL ATG tapes are "reverse wound." It's just a term applied to the style of tape roll. I think... I just read in one place that, "...JVCC ATG-7502 ATG Tape, like all ATG tapes, is reverse wound on the roll so it is designed to be used in an ATG dispenser/gun..."

Yes, oops.. sorry I didn't explain. I buy the JVCC ATG 7502 tape in lieu of the 3M/Scotch brand. It's much cheaper, and I find it to be wound better, stick better with less glue globs and strings, and no weird odor.
I love my SU paper. I try to buy all the basic colors so my DP will match. I love my cuttlebug for embossing only. I love my organizer to hold my supplies right on my desk. It didn't spin so I bought a lazy susan to but it on. Spin away.
