the cuttlebug and embossing folder... esp. Swiss Dots
Organizational cubes from Michael's
Marvy punches
mat pack and piercer... don't know what I would do without this!!
I am going to say my Harbor Frieght air compessor. It has made my copics sooo much more versatile and worth the investment. Honestly, it has opened many more avenues in my crafting.
I'm going to add my new clamp from The Crafty PC - perfect for clamping my notepads together so I can apply the padding compound. Once I sanded it a bit and sprayed it, I totally love it!
BETSY MCCALL!!!!! I LOVED her. I miss her... I've even looked for one that was nice at a decent price at doll shows...I still have some of her clothes...too bad her crotch split and
her legs fell off..... Sorry to Hi Jack!!!!
My favs are Cuttle bug and folders, Cricut Expression, Prismas colored pencils, SU Stamp Sets...Oh shoot Just about everything I have !!!! It's Like your children...How can you pick a favorite???
Oh Memories! I just found my Betsy Doll. I scanned my dad's old slides from when I was a kid (I'm 55 now and dad died in 85) and one of the pics was me and my NEW Betsy McCall Doll. I went to the attic and found her in her original dress and cute shoes. DD grew up playing with her also and then her daughter played with Betsy when she would visit. Idea: make some cards using Betsy with all three 'mommas'.
LIke most I love my cuttlebug and nesties but I also love my PTI cardstock (best paper investment EVER) and the Ranger Craft Mat (I'm messy) and my "mini" inks - the dew drops rock!
i saw a great idea for storeage, they used a bind it all to punch holes in clear folders, added hard card inside the pockets to make them stand up. Used the largest of the bind it all wires to hold it all together and make a book,,,,,,, THEN they put it onto one of the kitchen roll holders..... yes they made a revolving stand.... i think the idea is on the Zutter site...
My best purchase ever...Making Memories Tool Carousel! It is honestly the one thing I use every single day. I actually went and bought a 2nd one, because you know...good things come in twos. But it didn't fit...LOL...so it went back.
Close seconds are my MM Trimmer, ATG and Nesties!!
These are my favorites also!!!
The only other thing I can add is my Quickutz Revolution. The magnet plate is the BEST!!!!

So i love my bind it all.....
Sounds like an interesting idea - checked the Zutter site but couldn't find anything. Thanks!
I would have to say the best purchase(s) for me, were the Stampin' Up paper, pens and ink.
I have all of the colors (with the exception of the in colors) and it takes the guess work out of trying to match things together. Seems I need all the help I can get!
I couldn't stamp without my Stamp-a-ma-jig. I'm very happy with my Big Shot and Scor Pal and Nesties and...and...and...but really I can't stamp without my SAMJ.
Watercolor pencils
Stamp-a-ma-jig
Doodle This (SU set up for retirement)
Kraft paper
Bone folder
SU Punches
The only things I've bought and totally not cared for is the Crop-a-Dile and non-SU punches ... a pretty nice success rate when you consider all the stuff I have!
I love my teflon bone folder. I thought it was ridiculously expensive when I bought it from Ellen Hutson, but it's so smooth it glides, it has enough weight to make a beautiful crisp fold, and it feels good in my hand,
I love my SU Word Window punch.
I love my Scor-It.
But probably the BEST thing I've bought has been the variety of classes I've taken in my LSS and with SU demos. I've learned such wonderful techniques, some of which I just couldn't have fugured out from a written tutorial.

And one other thing that is the Best I ever bought: my Best carts for storing stamps. Love those darned things; to me they're worth every single dime. I have a large one and a small one, both full, and I'd love to buy another large one someday. Know a bank I can rob?
CraftRobo is basically the same machine as the quickutz silhouette. It is an electronic die cut machine that runs from the computer. HTH
The CraftRobo, Wishblade, and the Silouette are all the same machine (manufactured by Graphtec) and re-branded under the different distributors. They just use different design & cutting software for each model. I haven't used mine a lot lately, but its still the best tool I've purchased. It has eliminated the need for me to buy any dies for my cuttlebug, any embossing folder (I can make my own). I can even do beautiful script writing with it. This machine is so worth the money.
The neatest feeling I ever had was buying my Cuttlebug for 40% off! I love my Cuttlebug!
I also must say I love my Scor-Pal it's the greatest card tool!
My Stamp-a-ma-jig is awesome--love to use it!
I really like my paper rotary cutter, it's a Fiskars and I use it for every paper cut so it's a real work horse and the blade is awesome!
I also love my Pampered Chef tool carasol. Love the way I can just twirl it and grab the tool I need and replace it-right at my fingertips!
just got my Quickutz Silhouette and after reading all the good things about metal blade holders decided I would get one before I started using my machine. I bought one from blackcatcutters. When it arrived it was missing a second blade and when I contacted them, not only did they send the 60 degree blade but an additional 45 degree blade. What customer service. I highly recommend them to you.
Also the original silhouettes are selling for as little as $100 on ebay. Great Buy. I bought one of the refurbished ones with $50 in download cards and free shipping.
I agree
What is so great about the Stampamajig?
