Oh my gosh, how could I have left this one out? It's #1 too! Again, perfect hand comfort, plus while it holds very well, if you mis-stick something you can quickly pull it off and rub the adhesive off the card/page.
I didn't think anything would ever top my Genesis as my favorite purchase, but the Vagabond 2 has taken its place. Also on my list: Copics AND Sandy Allnock's Copic chart which enabled me to sell about a third of my Copics (which enabled me to buy my Vagabond!), ATG, Polychromos pencils, MISTI, and my Raskog cart.

I am also a MISTI-convert which I bought last year! Honestly, it is one of my best investments. It wasn't cheap (as I am in Australia) but oh, I love it and use it on every card. I used to often mess up the sentiment on the card inside because it was usually a last-minute thing. Not any more - the MISTI saves the day over and over
My vast button collection! The buttons are leftover shop stock from a wool & haberdashery business my parents ran many years ago.
LOL it must be an Aussie thing, this is exactly MY list too....except for the bit about my parents having a shop, but I do love all of my Nans buttons in an Arnots biscuit tin.

LAura339, I too upgraded a while back, but I went for a BS Pro. I still have, and use my Cuttlebug for small stuff, but my reasoning behind going for the Pro was that I was fed up with dies & embossing folders getting bigger & bigger, and my 'Bug couldn't use them. The Pro was the biggest machine they do, you can get anything up to 12" through it's opening, and I figured I would never ever need anything bigger. I will say that you need a dedicated space for this machine, as it's too big and heavy to move around. I did a review of it on my blog, HERE, if you want a bit more info.
It also has the advantage that you can cut more than one thing, or emboss more than one folder, as long as they are all the same type.
MISTI (seriously love that thing!)
ATG (the pink one, so awesome!)
Big Shot & all my dies (swoon!)
Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils (all colors, LOVE!)
Distress Inks (especially love the cubes, need the refills)
Of course, I adore all my lovely stamps. I have a major paper fetish. I enjoy playing with my Copics but I'm really not that good with them yet. I've got a ton of punches that I still love.
