20 or my favourite crafty things for 2011

I was tagged to do a video on 20 of my favourite or must have items for 2011.
All the way home from Minneapolis I kept thinking of what to pick.
Would you believe I only came up with 8 items.
I am a simple crafter and a lot of the things I use are free or I make myself.
But in the end I did come up with 20 things :)
And Here They Are





Onto My Day:
I had a dentist appointment today.
Happy I didn't have any cavities, wasn't happy about the bill though.
I was a bit shocked when they gave me the bill, then noticed Wayne didn't pay for his last visit, lol.
I cleaned the house a bit today.
And cleaned my scrap/craft room a bit.  My desk is all nice a neat again. I love a neat and organized desk :)

Hope you had a creative Wednesday :)

  1. I really like how you organize your stamps. I don't like to put them in binder or cd cases. Great video Tracy! Hope you having an awesome day. Congrat,no cavities. My next visit is next week hopefully no cavities too hehe...

  2. Tracy, I totally enjoyed your video...and lol'd when you were talking about distress inks and Frank's hot sauce! ;)

    I pretty much love all of your favorites, although I've had issues with the xyron leaving glue boogers on my paper... :/

    Hope you have a great Thursday!!

  3. Cool faves! I have a xyron that I have not used in about 7 years! At first it was because my son who was 2 at the time had pulled the adhesive and it did not feed through and never used it again! I even bought new adhesive 2 years ago...still sitting!
    Hope to craft a little box tomorrow and was just struck that I have not finished (so have not mailed) Valentines to my family! Eep!

  4. I love your favorites! You have some great ideas that I'm going to try, too! (Love the bank envelope idea. I never knew you made your mini's with those!). I've been using my Xyron like crazy lately and I always keep baby wipes on my work space.

    Congrats on the good dental report! That reminds me, I have a bill to the dentist I have to pay! Whew!

  5. What an AWESOME video! Love that fit in the part about the Tim Holtz scissors, this way you didn't have to do a whole video just on them. Haha! I knew you had been buying up all the Copics from here to Canada, but holy sh*t, when you lugged that case out I had no idea! Lol! I love it!!! Funny, I'm taking the girls to the dentist today. All three of you will have clean teeth!

  6. Enjoyed your video and hearing all your favorites. OMG, do you have the Copics! That's great. It is wonderful to have the tools and products we really use in our crafting.

  9. I am with Steph, because I love it all! I also love a neat desk and I have some cleaning to do today. I need to pick up all of those goodies that were on my desk yesterday.

  10. I love your 20 items! They are all wonderful, especially seeing all of your copics! I'm super jealous of those!

  11. WOW!!!! Love your pretty table cloth and I love more that you left your grungy mat there for the whole video. Awesome! My mouth DROPPED when I saw all your Copics. Oh and the BIG TH dies do fit in the CB, you just have to be perfect when you put them through. I use baby whipes too and I felt like I was listening to myself with all the $1 goodies. I agree on the punches, I get what I like too. I started getting the 6x6 packs last year too great right! Your TH inks are fab but I REALLY love your blocks. Gave me a awesome idea to do the same and now I want to go to Home Depots molding isle. SO EXCITED!!!! Thanks for sharing all that and your nails...I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Hmmm I might like to make a video like this one. So helpful.

  12. thanks for the great video! It is always nice to see what everyone else uses the most when it comes to card making & scrapbooking! I love what you said about the copics! They are pretty and I love looking at them because they make me smile! LOL I have my copics in a carrying case as well. I color while we watch tv and I also bring them to work with me so I can color at lunch time! :) I am a new follower. Thanks for the smile!

  14. Great run down on your favourite products. Quite a few are my favs too.
    I hate how expensive the dentist is too.

  15. I finally got to sit down and watch your video. I love how you had stuff that no one else had on their videos. I've watch a ton of must have videos. I almost peed my pants when you made the comment about Frank's Hot Sauce! Great video.

  16. Love your list. I'm like you, a very simple crafter. Don't use a lot of tools, just what works for me. Good stuff!

  19. I usually don't have the patience for video, but I'm really glad I hung in there for this one! I am going to have to remember to come back next time I buy adhesive. My square dispenser has lasted me well for the past 13 years, but I've always struggled with sticky dots. My dispenser gums up constantly (I guess I can't expect a 13 year life span from EVERY adhesive dispenser!) and I'm looking for something new for the small, intricate stuff.
