This is a two part question and answer this week ... Us crafters have stuff, and lots of it ... So what do you have lots of that you find that you need ( maybe keep buying to) but seldom use ..... and I know there is still something out there that we wish the magic scrap fairy could bring - What do you desire to still possess that is out there?

Stamps .. I buy stamps .. rubber acrylic ... it does not matter and I rarely use them ... even today I went out and could not resist three sets ... when will I use them .. oh my gosh ... maybe never but I NEEDED them ... I invested in Copics and finally after 3-4 months got around to playing with them again.. I need to stamp more on layouts and projects - that I know...

I want a laser cut machine ... I really do ... If i coudl close my eyes and wish fo r anything that would be it .. a personal laser cut machine .. that is a need to me and not a want .

I've bought tons of thickers lol like too many, I think I may have a Thicker addiction, but I have recently started journaling or handwriting my titles and have used less and less thickers, so I need to quit buying them lol but its so hard!!!

Something I want? Hmmm maybe a Cameo or a Vagabond, I am yet to find a machine I want.

It's stamps for me too! Over the weekend I shopped online...and bought another three sets....I don't use the ones I already have..why do I need more?? Because one set was TH with marvellous quotes and the other two were steampunk, my current addiction.

Wants...I'd love a Vagabond but don't actually "need" it! My one wish would be for a never ending ATG.....the replacement tapes are SO expensive here in UK and also ever so fiddly to replace.

There was a time when I bought alot of embellies, not so much the cute little stickers thingys, but word stickers, tags, just alot of stuff and I don't use it and so it is occupying much needed space. Today I really aware of what I will use and what I won't use and don't spend alot on things I don't use. Happy to say that!! Biggest expenditure for something I rarely use - Cricut.

Wants - sometimes I think I'd like a 12" cutting system (my Cricut is only 6") but then I think about the Cricut and just know that I wouldn't use it. I always want something more, more punches, more Lindys, more paper, more flowers, more DA, more, more more!!

I have stampitis as well, but have finally cancelled some stamp clubs I belonged to...and I do use them on cards and the odd layout but need to use them more!! I also bought a ton of alcohol inks and need to pull those out more too...

I would love a Cameo, I love my Silhouette SD but it is only 8 1/2 inches wide, would love a cameo for cutting shapes for 12 x12 layouts.

My problem is I have almost monthly addictions and then have to find a place to keep them...this month is beads on layouts and beads are all over my workspace. What would I like the scrap fairy to bring? A scrap room would be nice. lol

what works for straight pictures is use tacky gum ( it sticks to walls) on the back of your LO and secure it on a wall outside to take the picture ... its much easier than lying it down onthe ground and standing above it ...

I went on a frenzy and bough a lot of alcohol inks and I rarely use them.

As for my wish - a functional scraproom to die for!!!
