Oh, and a Leaf Blower or fan to clean up after it's all over. (ala Paris Hilton!)
Ooooo... never thought of the leaf blower! LOL! I have learned the hard way that ceiling fans need to be turned to LOW or OFF before using glitter or EP.....
Actually, I have a little baby shop vac in the stamp room for quick and easy clean up. Dump everything on the floor and WOOSH! ALL GONE! LOL! I do have to barricade the stamp area from the cat when I do that tho.... she has a tendency to play in the scraps otherwise..... She is giving me the stink-eye currently.... she HATES VSN.... no Mommy Attention during that time..... heh heh heh..... She knows it's coming.... it's the only time I clean up the stamp room THIS MUCH! LOL! Poor kitty.... so neglected.... YEAH, RIGHT!
I forgot the caffeine(very important) and extra batteries for your camera..........
There's caffeine in the chocolate.... he he he.... Not being much of a chocolate lover (yeah, I know, something is genetically WRONG with me), I keep the chocolate in the stamp room just for the sugar/caffeine boost.
Of course, now that I read your list, I realized that I forgot to buy snacks when I was out..... Oh well... I have to go back out later anyway.... add WallyMart to the list! LOL! I have frozen pizzas in the freezer just waiting to keep me fed and happy Saturday! Oh, and Haagen Daz Bailey's Ice Cream....... How much weight WILL I GAIN during VSN????? LOL!
One more thing that I find helps is to take a few minutes between each challenge and tidy up your space. It's amazing how quickly you run out of stamping room once you get going

These are great VSN tips, so I thought I would bump them up for anyone getting ready for the next round!
Anybody have any to add?
I like to have my favorite tools and embellishments all set out at my fingertips - bone folder, crop-a-dile, ticket corner punch, sponges and Primas are all within arm's length.
I am so excited to join the fun ~ I hope I can keep up! One more thing for the list~ I'm checking my supply of adhesive. I learned from experience before a swap. :o
Great tips everyone ( whew, needed to careful with typos on that one ! )
Hmmmmmm....one of these days we should compile a VSN Master Tip list to add to the other threads, don'tcha think !!!

Thanks so much, Jeanne! You've posted this a couple of time and your tips really helped me. LOL, I'm a slow stamper, and I had such a hard time getting anything presentable done in 45mins, but Jeanne's tips really helped me!!
Sheesh, I sound like a paid commercial on TV, but it's true!! :mrgreen:

Helpful VSN tips
, I have put all the items from the shopping list on one table and I have pulled some stamp sets out to use. Now I just have to get through work and figure out something for supper. Oh and I guess I need some chocolate!!
