Having been doing a card swap with a friend of mine for the last 7 months or
so I have discovered I really really need to get the craft room
occassional guest room) organized for easier rubber stamp creations. A
nice closet style or wall unit cabinent full of all sorts of useful nooks
and crannies and drawers/shelves specific to rubber stamps and the
sattelite accessories that go with it. More wall mounted shadow boxes to
hold more of my stamps and emb powders/glitters would be useful. Thats
rather grandiose

More realistically one of those top of the line wheeled Craft Tote /cart
things would be great to allow me to keep my in progress stamp creations and
paraphanalia off the living room coffee table and rolled to the craft room
at the end of my session rather than leave my stuff on the table for a week
or more at a time. Yes, I have a table in the craft room but its completely
covered by stamping stuff other than the 8 inch clear space in which I
emboss . hahahah

I have a Marvy Uchida heat tool thats works for me. Tends to warp vellum a
bit but that may be do to my technique.

I use my plain ol 35 mm camera with the close up zoom to take pics of my
cards I send off to others . Sometimes takes 6 months to get the roll of
film developed though.

So, rather than pout, I'll make an attempt at starting up a thread:

If you could, what big ticket RS item would you splurge on?

Me? I just ordered a heat gun like Suze uses. My piggy bank was full,
and
this is one of the things I knew I wanted to splurge the "proceeds" on.
I've seen some people say "how could a heat gun possibly be worth that
price?!!?" Well, all I can say is I got to use it once, and I've been
itching for one ever since.

For the remainder of the piggy money, I haven't decided... I may get one
of
those HomePro long reach punch/eyelet setter/nailhead setter gizmos and
accessories. Or, I might go for a digital camera that can handle macro
shots so I can take good photos of my cards (I don't have a scanner, and
feel a camera would be much more versatile).

So, were budget not an issue, and you were going to indulge on you RS
addiction, what would you get?

Come in from the heat and play a while!
