I didn't ask for any crafting gifts; mainly asked for certificates to get
out this winter, as the winter will be long. didn't even shop the day after Christmas, except for one new store, where I had a nice certificate
and got a large bird house for the deck this summer. What about everyone else?

My SIL bought me a SU set and my Mom gave me a gc to ACMoore's. My DH also gave me some money so I should be able to have lots of fun. I will probably use the gc for yarn since I have gotten into crocheting and the money will go towards the new catalog.
I got a big shot, 2 PTI sets, and 2 sets of nesties from my parents. They only got 1 set of squares and 1 set of rectangles, both plain and not the 4 set pack, but hey, they did great on the shopping.
I got 8 PTI sets from my husband.
And I got the complete 156 set of Prismacolor markers from my mother in law!
Then bought myselft an OTT light with a gift card I got from my neice yesterday. And today bought myself, a big order of SU retired sets plus the top note die, all 10 of the Bella Bittyblooms, some ez mount, a hot knife and some Sunday International storage boards, and the CC designs gingersnaps.
Good Christmas!

My hubby got me the Slice with "Falala" cartridge, and the 12x12 board. "Santa" got me 10 copics in my stocking which has rounded out my collection to 150. I also got a Celtic stamp set from my MIL. Don't know how I would use that one, but HEY. My BF got me a MM paint set, a stamp, and a pack of chipboard tags. so all in all, pretty great!!

Well, I got my Slice plus a couple cartridges--Noteworthy and Basics 2, a 12x12 mat (that I was originally hoping would fit just inside the ScorPal but does not), a couple DCWV paper stacks, some MS butterfly stamps and snow glitter in my stocking.
My DD (15 years old) got me a hieroglyphic stamp set from her trip to France. That is going to take some effort to figure out how to use. Any suggestions?
I got the Singer Pixie sewing maching from my mom. Now if I could just figure out how to sew in a straight line...Right now my "straight line" looks like I've been doing shots in between stitches (and I havent)!!!
__________________ I DID learn everything I need to know in Kindergarten!
My birthday was a couple of weeks ago-that combined with Christmas I received all my missing SU classic ink colors! DD and I went through and labeled and put everything in families. I am now the owner of all the markers and all but 4 of the ink pads (I'm thinking they are here someplace....). Looks like I got about 16 of the pads...Now to find time to use them all :rolleyes:
Wow, everyone!! Don't we have some pretty terrific enabl...er, I mean....family and friends?? ;)
From my Mom: stickers and paper I was admiring at Archivers.
From my Boyfriend: a House Mouse stamp, a Dragonfly stamp and 2 Hanna Gruffies!!
From a friend at work (as a Thank You for letting her borrow some of my stuff - geez! - that's what friends are for!...anyway): a $30 gift card to Michaels!!
My nephews newly acquired wives are the bombs! From one I got A Recipe Box Kit made by Quick Quotes. I think I will be able to get a pattern out of this to use and to share. From the other one I got a Revolving Storage cube and some paper. From myself I got a set of oval nesties!
I cant wait to get back to stamping now that all the holiday preparation is over!
From my sister I got the hot fix tool with all the ends for it. Now I have to get to work making cards and putting bling on them. I ordered my Copic's from DH last month and I am still thinking about getting the Scor Pal, there is free shipping from the company until the end of the month so I better decide soon.
Well, in my stocking, I received some Stazon, embellishments, double stick tape, and 2 Michael's gift cards.
So, I went shopping and got a Fiskars Ultra ShapeXpress Starter Set 1,
(which I used the Mike's 50% off coupon), ribbon, scrapbooking filler pages, and a few embellishements.
Also went to Target and used a gift card there for another 3 Drawer Cart to hold more of my stamps. (Was tired of them being piled all over the place.)
SO, I've already made 4 cards tonight, but haven't used the new tool yet!
Oh, the other night, I placed an order with Gina K's for a new set of Woodless Pencils, some matching paper, fibers, and brads. Can't wait to get it!!

My DH surprised me and made my entire christmas all about stocking the craft room. I got the Big Bite (finally!), honeybee scissors and tweezers, a really nice self healing mat and knife from cutterbee, a million embellishments, lots of little tools and a tag curler, plus stamps, DP, etc. etc. He did pretty good!! Oh, and he got me the SHarpie project pack because i'm a total sharpie addict!! My MIL also got me lots of little goodies (he was santa's little helper on those!) I'm so anxious to get them all put away and use them!!

My fil, nice man, trying to think of me, but standing in the wrong department of Hobby Lobby, got me foam craft sheets!!! What am I supposed to do with those? I have no intention of using them for my stamping or myself, it would be for the kids!! Aargh! I could take them back, but what I'd be ahead $4 after standing in line forever to return them, or keep them for the kiddos who will cut them up into a million pieces, which I will promptly throw away.
Okay, I'm better- thanks for letting me vent.
BTW- Amazon now has the universal wish list button- so you can go to any website and add that item to your wishlist on Amazon!! Now my wishlist will really fill up!
My DH got me a Michael's gift card and since I'm immobile at the moment, I had him pick up some stuff (restocking supplies) for me this weekend. He took a photo of the Sizzix section for me to send to my phone and I had him take a look at what i thought was the "texturz starter's kit" and I was so happy that it WAS! I didn't know or even thought they carried it. SO...I got one thing marked off of my wish list!

sigh...nothing! But I did buy myself a Thomas Kinkade stamp and stuck it in my own stocking. It's very sad...
ditto, here! arggggg!!! Hubby got me a cashmere sweater...yes, I should be thankful...it's soooooo soft & cuddly. BUT, we live in sunny all-year round Hawaii! And the worse part is, he showed me his back-up gift (in case Banana Republic doesn't have the right color/size) was a wooden craft desk with all these built-in 12x12 drawers that he took a pix at Home Depot with his phone!!! soooooo close! I really wish BR had ran out of my size for once. :mrgreen: oh well, there's always my B-day.
didn't get anything craft this year, that's okay. I buy what I want on a regular basis anyway. I did go out Saturday and took advantage of M's sale on organizational items. I got three of those cute white scrapbook storage cubes (the mix and match ones) and then took my 50% off coupon back yesterday and got myself 1 more. Plan to stop by two more times this week to finish off my new little scrapping space. hehehe! Love buying myself gifts!

Can I come play with you??? LOL!
My DH updated my craft room with cabinets, counter top and shelves. Plus he said that I needed a new toy for my new craft room. So he bought me a Cricut Expression.
I also received some ribbon, SU - From the Garden and another stamp from my new SCS friend Mary (#1volunteer).
My husband and I didn't exchange so technically I didn't get any craft items for Christmas. I did get a lot from a Secret Elf exchange, though, and will have fun playing with those items! My favorite would have to be two Riley Stamps!
DH sheetrocked my scrapbook room and with the GC I got as a Christmas Bonus at work I bought paint and painted them over the weekend. I still don't have a ceiling and only have cement floors but I have WALLS. (yeaaaaaaaa!). I am trying to find time to get to Ikea to use my GC to buy some Bygel rails to go on them. Santa bought me a complete set of Distress Stickles and an assortment of Tim Holtz tools & grungeboard. I had a great Christmas. I hope everyone else did.

Actually, I have read somewhere you can heat up that kind of foam and stamp into it and the result will have an embossed look. I have been meaning to try it. If you want to try to make lemonade out of lemons that is...
I got the new BIA in pink! The case papers and the corner rounder from DH. He wasn't sure about the coils so he did not buy them.....guess what I will be buying soon.
In-laws bought me the SU scallop edge punch and the PAP embosser.
DB bought be a bunch of the smaller cuttlebug folders and DH the winter house folder.
My whole list was crafting things so, I was pleased that I got so much.
I got a new paper cutter and gift cards. My mom also gave me some cash. She isn't a stamper and doesn't know what I have, so she said the cash is for stamps. From friends I got a couple of stamp sets and some odds and ends. All in all, a great Christmas!
How lucky are we??? I got a BS and dies from DH, sis got me 2 SU sets and brads, MIL got me some wheels and punches...my boss got me two bellas and some embellies (HOW COOL IS THAT???) I spent my Xmas $$ on my first coach purse...now I have a new addiction that has to fight for space with stamps and horses in the budget!

I got a bag of coal in my stocking thanks to my sweet 8 year old DS. He got it at school and thought I needed something in my stocking....guess I'll just have to go shopping on my own!

That's what I decided to do!
I got some My Mind's Eye Irresitible PP (for Valentine's Day)
A Whiff of Joy stamp - one from the guardian angels collection. She's blowing hearts and I thought that would be great for Valentine's Day as well.
The Imaginisce Twitterpatted collection - stamps and papers, so cute for spring!!

I don't know what color foam you got, but here is an idea: Choose a stamp; cut a piece of foam a bit bigger than the stamp. Use your heat tool to heat the foam. While it is still got, press you stamp into it. When it cools, it looks sort of like tooled leather. Attach with glue dots as an embellishment on the front of a card. If you mess up, it was just fun foam that your kids were going to cut up!
Just a thought.
what crafting gifts did you get
I did get my beautifully stamped card from you!!! Reeeeeeally stunning!
