my favorite craft items
- I couldn't live without my sketch book and pencils. I like to sketch some of my craft ideas before I make them. Also my colored pencils, paint, my glues, and glue gun. I have collected all kinds of odds and ends like small containers that can be recycled,milk jug tops,small items that fell off of something else like a metal leaf off of a candle, really too much too list. Some of it is stuff found in the parking lot when I worked in a home decor/craft store. Plastic,metal,and paper items destined for the trash can. Even artificial flower heads - have a lot of them - the best thing I got for free is card board packing tubes that I made skinny snowmen out of. I probably have 200 of them left since I had someone else collect them for me. Also, I love my little collection of scissors and craft blades. I also have a collection of scrap book stuff I use a lot even though I don't scrapbook.

Glue and Paper!
- Alene's tacky glue is a must. It's so good that 30+ years ago my mom used it to glue fabric lace appliques onto her wedding dress, and they are still intact! I use Alene's tacky glue whenever I craft. I love paper -- I have stacks of them that I haven't used yet, but I still keep on buying them when I see patterns or colors that I like!

Every Nook and Cranny
- Just about every nook and cranny of our house is filled with my craft supplies. I have a linen closet half filled with fabrics and notions though I haven't sewn in a couple of years. I have polymer clay bead rollers I've never even tried. The rest of my craft stash is pretty well organized and pretty well used ;-)

Can't live withouts ...
- This made me smile - I have an entire under stairs cupboard full of things I tell my (much tidier) husband I can't live without. Two sewing machines, a 'craft soldering iron', embroidery floss in various colors, machine embroidery Rayons, piles of organza, Bond-a-Web, Stitch'n'Tear, loads of bits of fabric that "I'll do something great with ... one day", a button box, a thread tin, a ribbon and braid tin, bits of mount board ... and of course boxes of unfinished projects! There are a few things I've only used once, including a 'paper crimper'. Great for card making I expect, but I don't make cards!

Glue Sticks!
- I'm pretty partial to glue sticks. They work. Nearly any age can use them, even little kids. And no mess!
