Good grief, it's quiet!!
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! Alison |

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. Cathy "Alison" wrote in message ...

Just got the Ranger Heat gun from Walmart. Seemed silly to get another
one, when I have a Marvy, but this one doesn't get quite as hot and warp the paper as much and it is a blessing for UTEE, since it doesn't blow as much. Plus, now I have one at each end of my stamping room - who doesn't need that? Since I have indulged myself in a ton of accessories (best are a light box, Xyron, Fiskars shape boss & a dedicated garage-sale toaster oven) I would buy tons of stamps and ink that aren't even on sale - can't ever seem to get enough! By the way, scanners are alot cheaper that digital cameras and, to my mind, make better copies of flat items like cards. It's great to have your cards on file in the computer - easier to remember that little thing that made them special, and handy when you need to post something to one of your stamp groups. I guess that reminds me - I need a program for the pc that will let me annotate the images, so I can remember who I sent the card to - by the time they thank me, I can't remember which one it was!

ahhh, so maybe I need to put a Ranger heat gun on my Christmas list. My
Marvy does indeed blow my Cloisenne thick emb pow all over the place to the point I haven't messed with it upon that discovery. I do have a little melting pot for glue sticks I could experiment with. I was thinking a Xyron would be fun. Can you make one sticker at a time or would that be wasteful of the sticker paper if that is what it uses? I realized this year that I haven't noted who the card was for in my camera photos of them. Hate to send the same stamped card twice to a person in the same year. "hansen" wrote in message ...

I think that I would get a Rollerbind system for quick and easy journal
making (in particular some for the children as I thought I would get them to make and keep a journal through the summer holidays). BTW anyone got any feedback on the rollerbind - do you ise it a lot, what are its limitations etc. Funny that you should have an 8" working space in your craft room - so do I! Does that usually end up as the 'norm' except for the super-organised? Jenni "Cathy Makela" wrote in message news:P7ZRa.94168$H17.28750@sccrnsc02...

I'd love a series of wooden racks that would hold all my stamps, enclosed by
glass (to keep the dust at bay). But right now my money will have to go to paying the electric bill. It's been getting to 100+ degrees this whole week here - 108 today. Even with air conditioning, one feels the heat and I'm too zapped to stamp or scrap. Mary in OK |

I have the room. I would love to have the money to renovate it to be best
for stamping and other crafts. Erin-Joi ************************************************** * If you think that something small cannot make a difference---try sleeping with a mosquito in the room. If I told you that I was walking 35 miles in 2 days to help women with undetected breast cancer find out early enough to survive, would you support me? http://erinjoi.pledgepage.com Feel free to forward my pledgepage to anyone interested in the walk or the cause.
