Happy New Year…wow it is 2014!!!
Let's all have a great year together and I hope that each and everyone of you finds time for peace, joy and a lots of laughter in your dailiness of life! I know…we all get soooo stressed (and I am guilty too) about things that really do not make a difference in the "big picture of life"…so let's try to start with being patient and kind to ourselves!
Today is a very different post but by now you know me and my style – I could go on and on about all sorts of things and today I wanted to randomly pick some of my favorite products that we have at Stampin' Up! and give you the "why's" I love them so much as well as some "tips and tricks" that I have found with them!
Here you go….these are not in any particular order of my preference – they are just what I see around my work area as I look around and type! Read to the end as you will see that I am going to do 3 of these posts over the next week and you will have the opportunity to win some blog candy!
I am purposely not putting in specific stamp sets…the solid papers….and the Big Shot…as to me – these are the staples…(bread & butter) to our fabulous collection of products!
- Stampin Trimmer – this is simply the BEST on the market….anywhere – any store….this is the best! I know when it came out, many of my customers said – "I already have a trimmer, why would I want another one…." Well – by the next month – they ordered it! Why to l love it so much….easy!
- The size – I love the fact that it is sooooo portable and that you can make 12" cuts…you can SCORE with it – that in itself is a HUGE WOOT-WOOT!!!
- I love that you can buy replacement blades and scoring blades and that the cuts are sooooo accurate as the guide cannot be "worn" down as it is "under" the clear part!
- To me – this is a total necessity and honesty I bought another one to put the Rotary Additon on it so I do not have to take it on and off…this way I have the felxibility to make all sorts of cuts – small scallop border and a tiny wave border
- Paper Snips – ok…this is another thing that I am sure many of you say….I have a pair of scissors…why would I spend $9.95 for a pair….well if you have them you aready you already know that they are the best scissors in the world…I just lost another pair to one of my "peeps" that is a school teacher as he said – WOW – these are the best…and off they went to Boston!
- For those of you that do not like to "fussy cut" – this is your "dream machine" – once you try them – you'll be hooked – but buy 2…..you'll never regret it!
- The are the best to take on planes….because of the case – I never have an issue with them as I have a pair in my needlepoint kit!!!
- Craft Scissors – ok…I know that these are REALLY $$$$$ and it took me 2 years to purchase them and everytine I use them I say to myself – why in the heck did I not but these before! This is why I adore them!
- The are literally a weapon…..I am serious – they are the heaviest and sharpest scissors in the world! To cut ribbon with "no frays" – this is the ticket! I can cut piece of ribbon "flush" to the edge of a card and you would think that I wrapped it around….nope! they are just that sharp!
- I realize that they are $$$$ but as my Mom always said, you pay for what you get! This is a great item to use a 1/2 price item or use your hostess rewards with! Do it….you will not regret it!
- Big Shot Magnetic Platform – This is simple a no-brainer….remember how it was sold out for sooooo long and soooooo many people were frustrated!?!?! – Well, the reason is….SIMPLE – it is the BEST! This is a super easy "why" I love it!
- Do you remember how frustrating it was to have "stick it notes" to hold your framelits in place??? YIKES – who wants to do that!!! This eliminates every frustration in the book…but REMEMBER – you still need to use your cutting pads!!!
- I love to use this tool to get out a "peek -a boo" on the front of my cards….and stamp an image on the inside!
- This also is great to use 2 different sizes of a framlit to cut out to make a wider frame which will create a wow statement!
- Designer Series Paper Stacks – I know that I said that I was not going to go with "solid paper" but this is different…to me – these are a MUST in my opinion as with all of the other options that we have with lining and decorating our cards and envelopes….these paper stacks are just wonderful! Why….
- They come in every color palate that we offer so you know that you will ALWAYS get s fun paper to match a project you are working on!
- They are a great accent to make a POP happen with a simple card! Each color comes in4 differnt print schemes….so you will never be bored witht he variety of prints!
- Candy Dots – Who ever thought of these was nothing short of brilliant!!! LOVE THEM….they are so easy to use!
- These also come in every color collection that we have…and they are just $5.95 for 100 dots! It is a perfect quick accent to make a card go from o.k. to WOW with just a simple touch!
- The easiest way to get these gems off…use your paper snips to get "under" the adhesive or use your paper piercing tool….works everytime!
- Stampin' Scrub – ok…I know that many of you are going to think that this is not a necessity but i TOTALLY disagree….why….look below!
- This keeps your stamps clean and in great condition! We all have heard that it takes a while to create a habit….to me – it is someting that I need to do for at least 7 to 10 days in a row to make it become a habit = well ….this is the same with the Stampin' Scrub…I ALWAYS use it each and everytime I stamp!
- If you have it out…right as you are working and have the Stampin' Mist right beside you…(this is a must – get the refill and the little one to mist and you are set for a L O N G time) – you will get USED TO STAMPIN'…CLEANING…PUTTING YOUR STAMPS AWAY!!!!
- I get asked often….how often to your clean it? Well…no secret recipe…just when I feel like it's been a while! I simple run it under the sink and "squish" water all around until I see the water run clear and then pat it with a paper towel….and then put it on a drying rack and by morning – it's ready to be used !!! This REALLY is a must in my eyes – LOVE IT and would not be without it!!!!
O.k. – I know that I am totally rambling on and I just showcased only 7 items today….but I am going to continue with these types of posts over the next week!!! I hope that they have been helpful to you and also have enlightened you to our products….
Now here is a way for you to WIN some fun! Please leave me a comment or send me an email and I will put your name in a "pot of gold".…and after all 3 posts…I will pick one person from the random.org sight to make it fair for everyone and you will have the chance to win in honor of the NEW YEAR….

PLUS 14 handmade cards and envelopes from me = did you get it???
2014
This way you will have 3 chances to win if you follow my blog everyday
…WOOT-WOOT!!!!
I thank you for popping by today and I truly wish you a Happy New Year! I am not a huge fan of New Year's resolutions as honestly I cannot seem to keep them and I think there are times that we put the "Bar too high" for what we are trying to achieve….so I just try to be aware of what "I what I want to be about…what I want to set out to accomplish…and what I would like to see myself STRETCH a bit out of my comfort zone" and to try to do something nice for someone each and everyday….
Remember to leave me a comment and you could win the 2014 blog candy for the start of the NEW YEAR! If you are a SUD that follows my blog….please leave me a comment – we all work together and I too go to your blogs for inspiration!
This time next week…I will be in Houston at the Leadership Convention and I am OVER THE TOP excited…to be with the PALS…meet some of the friends I have met this past year from my blog and also get a BIG hug from Patsy Waggoner…she is the SUD that has helped me with my blog design!!!
Here's to a great year ….Unitl tomorrow!
Happy New Year! Thank you for showing us some amazing products and for all of the inspiration! Happing crafting in 2014!
Happy New Year to you and your fam, Susan! I agree with all of your “besties” too! I don’t have the craft scissors yet but they are on my craft bucket list! Thanks for all your inspiration and have fun at the convention!
I don’t have the Craft Scissors as of yet either. I’m with you on everyone of these items! I was needing a new trimmer as my Cutterpede was broke but I made do until the new SU Trimmer was released. I had to wait several months but it was soooo worth it!! 🙂 I’m a fellow SUD but I’m mostly a hobbyist. My upline is Jan Burnett. Perhaps I need to get with Patsy about a new blog for myself! 🙂 Happy Stamping in 2014!!
Happy New Years, I also agree with your list. I don’t have some of them yet. Next on the list is the craft scissors. Love your post, keep up the good work.
Susan, I adore your blog and love your resolution to do something nice for someone each day! I love to drop a card in the mail to friends and family near and far because it always makes the recipient smile! Thanks for sharing inspiration everyday! Keep up the great work and many thanks for all you do!
Happy New Year! I really like your list of favorites! Most are my best likes as well especially the trimmer which I just recently got! It and the magnetic plate are well worth the money. I enjoy your blog and the simplicity of your ideas. Keep up the great work!
You have no idea how much inspiration I get from your blog! I love it! Please enter me in the “pot of gold” drawing, because any product by SU! is my favorite! Happy New Years to you and yours! And thanks so much!!
I love your blog! I can’t wait to open my computer each morning to see what you have posted!
Happy New Year Susan & Family! Thanks for your daily hit of creativity and positive energy! Thanks too for the chance to win some blog candy! One day I’ll take the plunge on ordering those craft scissors!
The best product in my opinion is the trimmer. It is great. Thanks for the chance for blog candy.
Susan, This is the first time I have left a comment on someone’s
blog but I feel that I need to say thank you! You are so gentle and kind and inspire me daily to try new things I haven’t done before.
I love reading about your family and hearing about your hubbies
progress. After all, without our loved ones, we are nothing! God bless you in all your endeavors. You are so talented & deserving!
Carol Coffman
Looking forward to the rest of your products you love! I don’t have the scrubber but everything else on your list I have and couldn’t agree more with you. I believe the scrubber will go on my wish list today!
What great products to showcase! Nothing beats a good pair of scissors and a good paper trimmer 🙂
Happy New Year, Susan! I, too, love your blog and love to wake up to it every morning. You always have great ideas and tips. Thanks for all the inspiration and information.
Susan, thanks for breaking down the “why” these items are must haves. Makes me see the items in a new light. My Pinterest board and wish list are growing daily because of what I see on your blog. Happy New Year!!
I am fairly new to your blog, but find ideas and inspiration every day. I never considered myself to be creative, but making cards leaves me with good feelings.
Happy new year! I love my snips! I too keep my cleaning pad handy and the magnetic platform is on my wish list!!
I am in love with the candy dots myself. They are perfect for people like me who put an entire card together and then realize the card would look even better with a brad “right there.” Well now I can do that right there thing and without the weight too. I also love my Stmapin’ Trimmer, it travels well for those away play dates and my magnetic platform!
Happy New Year. I have to say my favorite new item is the magnetic platform, I love all the framelits and this product makes them so easy to use.
Love your blog-such good ideas and short cuts that I had not thought about! Thanks so much!
Happy New Year, Susan! Boy, do I agree with your 7 choices! I have several paper snips and a few scrubbers that I haven’t even used. I have been using my original 1998 scrubber that never stayed together at the hinge, so I just use the one side wet and dry, half and half. It’s even the old black one, and yes, I just rinse it in the sink regularly. Can’t imagine making cards with a Big Shot (I have 2–one for just the magnetic platform, side by side with my regular platform). I even have 2 of the new trimmers so I can keep the rotary cutter on one, regular cutter on the other. May 2014 be the best, healthiest, happiest year for you and your family. For me, I just want good health and a cleaned out, more streamlined house! Nancy B
P. S. That should be “Can’t imagine making cards WITHOUT a Big Shot.”
And look! The posting worked! Looking forward to the next 2 blogs as well as your 2014 projects. Nancy B
Happy New Year, Susan! How sweet of you to give away blog candy to kick off the new year. As you say, woot-woot! I always enjoy reading your blog and appreciate your uplifting attitude. You are a blessing to us all.
I like your writing style as well as your crafting style! Of the seven products you listed, I have only two: the paper snips, though mine are not from SU, but they are from the same manufacturer; and the Stampin Scrub, though mine is the old one which is a bit smaller than the current one. My one problem is that I forget to clean the scrub pads until the next time I want to use it, and then it is too late.
Thanks for the opportunity for blog candy!
Happy 2014! Really enjoy all of your tips and ideas! I have been on the fence about getting the SU Trimmer because I have a perfectly good trimmer. However, I really like your idea about having a SU Trimmer devoted entirely to the rotary cutter. I do believe that SU Trimmer is inching its way to the top of my never ending wish list. May we all have a 2014 which brings us good health and good wishes!
Happy New Year Susan!
My morning starts with you and I can’t thank you enough for making your instructions easy to understand! You are my inspiration! Love your cards and ideas, please keep it up!
Your resolution to do something good for someone every day is the best and something we all should remember, thanks for the reminder!
Have a Great Year!!
Happy New Year Susan! You are such an inspiration to me and I look forward to your post everyday. I see great things from you in 2014 ;). Hands down the SU trimmer is the bomb right along with the magnetic platform. In fact all the items listed were “Must Haves”. I just got the craft scissors last month……ya the price made me think twice but they are a no brainier too. Enjoy your day. No crafting for me….watching the Red Wings play at my old stomping grounds of Ann Arbor. GO BLUE!!
Happy New Year! I agree with each of your choices. Can’t do without them. Thanks for all your inspirational posts. You are the best.
Happy new year! I love following your blog. I have not invested in the snips or craft scissors but may have to look into them after reading your review. Thanks for a chance to win!
Great suggestions for new AND experienced stampers!
I love your blog. It is one that I read every day! I love your projects and have CASED a number of them. Hope you and your family have great year in 2014!
I have followed your blog for a long time, but seldom do I add comments. BUT, I would dearly love to have a card/some cards made by you, so here goes. I love your clean, but awesome style of designing your cards. You give the best directions too. I try and dress up the envelope like you do since it adds so much interest to the whole project. Thank you or a chance at winning some really awesome blog candy and for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
Thank you for your ‘list’ posts, Susan. I agree with all your choices and look forward to more. I have been a SU customer for 13 years and love their offerings. The scrubber I have is the old one that was white, and I mean was. It raises eyebrows at stamping retreats as it is permanently stained…but at least I can tell when I need to give it a good wash!
Love your blog and your stamping style–can’t start my day until I have read your new post. I can’t believe you are such a new SU demonstrator as your blog and projects are so well done. Your passion shows and has truly made your blog one to visit.
Happy New Year to you and your lovely family!
Love your tips and ideas! Love your post today! Always love to know what other people think of products before I buy them! Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy New Year to you and your family. Hope 2014 brings health and happiness (and a full recovery for John). I,too,sat on the fence about trying yet another trimmer, in search of the right one. SU’s trimmer was just that! I was not disappointed. The magnetic platform makes using framelits and other dies a breeze. Candy dots are genius, especially when a brad just won’t do,(or when I forgot to put them on). LOL Susan, I look forward every morning to your posts. You have such a sweet spirit that comes across in your writing, especially about your family. That was the deciding factor for me when I chose to join SU under you. Take care and enjoy the rest of your holiday.
I, also love the trimmer & paper snips…my daughter tries to steal my snips all the time! I don’t have the other scissors…you have me curious about them now 🙂
Have a Blessed New Year & thanks for the chance to win some goodies 🙂
I am trying to talk myself into buying the trimmer since I already have one. But I love my Stampin’ Scrub! I use it every time I stamp.
Happy New Year! Thank you for the details on why you like the products you have featured in your blog. It is very helpful. And thanks for posting all your creations! I find inspiration when viewing your blog.
Happy New Year Susan.
I have all these products with the exception of the paper snips. I’ll have to put them on “my list”
Happy New Year!!! These are great ideas and tips. Yes, the Big Shot is a Bread and Butter item, but I also think that SU Trimmer to be on my Bread and Butter list also. I LOVE IT!!! I have gone through in the last 3 year over 20 different trimmers and this one is the best by far. Thank you again for sharing your tips and tricks and my your year be bless with love, peace and joy.
Happy New Year! I really enjoy your blog and draw a lot of inspiration from it. Minimum of two paper snips is a must, for those that are not good at keep up with the clutter.
I agree with what you say about the trimmer. Best trimmer I’ve ever had and I’ve had many of them. In fact, I have two of them and just love them. I love your simple but beautiful style of cards. I would so love to have some cards made by you! Thank you for a chance to win them. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Great job showcasing the ‘must-haves’! I am right there with you!
Tanya
Hi Susan: Happy New Year to someone that just inspires and inspires! Thanks for all the good info about some of your favorite items from Stampin’ Up. I agree. Don’t overlook the adhesive remover, dimensionals and the liquid glue…favorites of mine. The glue saves money over Snail.
Happy New Year Susan! I love your blog and all of the work you put into it. Your cards are wonderful. I like to hear about your family and your husband’s progress. I got the new trimmer about two months ago and it is wonderful! Keep up the great work.
Happy New Year. I see new scissors in my future this year. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.
Happy New Year!! I love all your favorites! And I have each and every one of those because they are my all-time favorites, too!! Out of these my MOST favorite is the Big Shot Magnetic Platform!!! There is NO WAY I could live without that anymore!! It’s THE most amazing thing EVER!! Can’t wait to see all your examples of the new stuff!!
Happy New Year Susan! I totally agree with your list of favorites. I can not imagine making cards without the trimmer! Absolutely the best there is (and I have several other trimmers as well)and so fast and easy to use. Have a wonderful time at your leadership convention! Looking forward to what 2014 brings! 🙂
Happy New Year Susan! Many blessings in 2014. I love
how you share your faves and why. those craft scissors
will be on my wishlist. My fave is the magnetic platform.
Enjoy and look forward to your blog everyday.
Happy New Year! Thank you so much for all your tips tricks and beautiful cards. I love reading your posts. You keep me inspired.
ok going to try this again. Happy New Year Susan! Love how you share your faves and why. The craft scissors are something I’m going to add to my wishlist. I love the magnetic platform. Enjoy and look forward to your blog every day.
A big WOOT WOOT for the blog candy! I loved reading everyone’s comments.I guess I don’t know what my top picks would be that I have or want. I am such a lousy housekeeper and I don’t even clean my stamps. Could that be the new thing to get be motivated to clean up the house and get my piles corralled as well as craft room all put together where I can actually turn around in it? I guess there are stranger things happening in this world!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful and creative new year. Also, to all your other great blog readers too!
Hi Susan – I will “ditto” all the kind words these readers have so eloquently said about you and your inspiring and uplifting blog. I look forward to it every single day and am soooo glad that I ‘found’ you.
My favorite Stampin’ Up products this year are the magnetic platform and the paper trimmer. I’ve not gotten the rotary trimmer blade, but can see the wisdom in having a dedicated Paper Trimmer just for that application. Your Happy 2014 card put that stamp set on my Wish List and today’s discussion of your favorite SU products will make me look twice at the Craft Scissors. I have the small snips and love them!!
Thank you for your tireless enthusiasm and encouragement.
Louisa
Well, Susan, you have made me rethink a few of my missing tools. I appreciate you assessment and “the why”.
I look forward to the next chapter.
My Best Wishes to you and yours for the coming New Year.
I am a newbie to your blog and enjoy it very much. Thanks for the ideas. Happy New Year.
Happy 2014. Love all the tips and ideas. I need your inspiration and it is so helpful. Like the list of favorite products and tools…love your blog.
A happy and joy filled New Year to you and your family. Looking forward to CASing many of your great stampin’ projects. Agree with all your FAVs, although I do not have the craft scissors, I could not do without the other “necessities”.
WOW!! what a cool giveaway!! thanks for a chance to win!! Happy New Year!!!
I agree with all your selections. The craft scissors are the only thing I have not gotten yet. I know once I do I will be tickled pink but there is always something else that bumps them from my shopping cart. Maybe this is my chance to get them if I am selected for the blog cand, but I think I am more excited to get your cards and envelopes. Thank you for sharing your creative talent! Deb
Thanks for showcasing these products and telling us why you love them. I will have to put the SU stamp scrubber on my list. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Loved reading your blog the last few weeks, especially about your “peeps” coming home. I love the cards you make and can’t wait to see what is going to pop up next in my mail box to delite me!!
Brenda Foster
Thanks for pointing out all the pros of these neat products. When it comes to quality, Stampin’ Up! is the best all round.
I agree with your must-haves! I think my favorite of your favorites is the magnetic platform for the big shot. It works wonders! and I love that since it works with the framelits there’s no “tabs” to deal with. it’s always the right thickness. 🙂
thanks!
Jenny W
Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks:)
Thank you for sharing with us! Love your blog and read it every day! Happy New Year!!
I totally agree with you about the SU scissors….they are the best. Also love the Magnetic plate!
Happy New Year to you and yours, and thanks for the opportunity to win blog candy.
I love the trimmer – I don’t like to use anything else now!
Happy New Year, Susan! I love your blog! You have lots of great ideas and write with energy and enthusiasm! I love all the Stampin’ Up! products because they coordinate so well with each other. All the best!
I love your product review — but must say that I will miss your cards too. They are always some of my favorites! The Craft Scissors are next on my wishlist. Thanks for the nudge!
I love my stampin up trimmer it is the best!! Happy new year!
I love the bigshot! It is the best.

Happy New Year! I too love looking at your blog. Thanks for the inspiration!! I hardly ever clean my scrub pads but shhh! They still work great. Great idea on the second trimmer, will have to get another. I’m a SUD, come check out my blog. Thanks. http://marysstampinmoments.blogspot.com
Susan, I am like you, I like simple and clean cards. All the items you featured today I own and would also recommend them to others. Actually I have not found one items that SU makes that I dislike.
Thanks for the opportunity for blog candy. I love your creativity. I read your blog daily. I live in Mobile AL. I have 6 of the seven items you showcased and I totally agree. I also love to hear about your life and enjoy the encouragement and your positive attitude. I loved the horse story….happy 2014. God bless you!
I love your blog! I bought both the paper snips and craft scissors on your recommendation and am so glad I did! Happy new year to everyone!
HAPPY 2014 TO YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE !! ENJOY LIFE . LOOK TO EACH DAY AS A NEW BEGINNING … JUST TRY, GIVE IT YOUR BEST . I ENJOY READY YOUR BLOG AND LOOKING AT YOUR MASTER PIECES , I GET A SMILE AT THE MOST SIMPLEST CARDS YOU MAKE . THANK YOU FOR YOUR SITE.
I don’t have the craft scissors either, but love the products you named. Your blog inspires me so much. I’ve been hooked on SU for about 13 years.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS. Wonderful post. I have several of the items you mentioned, but then again, I need to get the rest. I am still kicking myself for not ordering the Trimmer when it was on sale one of those weeks gone by. Love your posts and look forward to reading them daily. Also, love all your ideas & cards. I just made the “It’s a Boy” baby card and will have to make another one for “It’s a Girl”. We have 6 babies being born this year and I am invited to ALL the showers. Going to be a GREAT Grandma in March and one of my sisters is going to be a Great Grandma twice this year. Too many great nieces & nephews having babies on both sides of our families. Looking forward to your 2nd & 3 posts.
Happy New Year Susan!! My list of favorite items is over a mile long!! I am so very glad that I said “yes” to becoming a demonstrator!! I love it!
I can’t wait to see the new gold vellum. This is such a beautiful trend in papercrafting. I love your designs! Happy 2014, Susan!
Happy New Year, Susan! Thanks so much your continuing inspirational and creative blog…I feel like I made a new friend in 2013! I love you best-of list and agree with each of your selections. Have a wonderful trip next week.
Looking forward to all your clever posts in 2014, Betty.
I’ve got to agree with all the tools you’ve listed. You have to have the right tools no matter what you’re trying to do! Love reading your blog. You have so many great ideas and I love to /borrow them! Have a fabulous new year!
Thanks for the chance to win blog candy!
Happy New Year! I have been stamping for a very long time and have been using baby wipes to clean my stamps. So, recently I purchased the Stampin’ Scrub with mister and now wonder why I didn’t do it earlier! It’s so much easier! I think my next purchase will be the trimmer specifically for the portability. Probably my favorite tool is the magnetic platform which I use all the time along with the big shot. My first die cutter was a CuttleBug which I still have but use infrequently now since the BS is just always ready to use!
I enjoy your blog, writing style, and creativity…Thank you for sharing.
I so enjoy your blog, you have so many great ideas. I am always excited to see what you have in your post every morning. I agree with your top 10 and have all of them except the magnetic board but I do need to get it.
I have the tools mentioned but the craft scissors just haven’t invested the money on those yet, soon I hope. Happy New Year looking forward to your post in 2014. Have a blessed year.
Great blog! I love that you are sharing why you think these products are a must. I have been a stamper for 20 years and still am anxious to hear about products and how they can make my addition (cardmaking) even more enjoyable. Can’t wait for the next installment!
Dear Susan, I am so proud of you to be able yo go to the convention. Good luck to you. I agree with all of
your selections of must have and must use. I have every one, I love every thing from Stamping up.
My favorite products from your list is the paper snips. I also love the new envelope punch board. I love using it. You are a really talented lady. Your site is o great. I love to come home from work in the morning and have coffee with you and your great site. I wish you so much happiness and successes in 2014. May God Bless you and your family. Ellen Hinds
Hapyy New Year! Thank you for sharing the products that you love. Some of these products I have seen in the catalog, but never paid much attention to. Now I will have to check them out.
Happy New Year. Wow what a generous offer! Love your list, my favorite is the magnetic platform.
I love your blog Susan! I stumbled upon it a few months back and am a daily follower. Your ideas and inspirations are truly wonderful. I agree with your must haves and plan on putting a couple on my stamping list. Thank you so much!
Happy 2014. I’ll be anxious to see the rest of your favorite products. So far, I have all of the ones you listed. Love your blog for all of the great projects but most of all for the wonderful directions and tips. Thanks for offering blog candy and what a clever way of announcing it. Can’t wait to see the rest of your favorites. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Happy New Year. May 2014 be a great year for you and your family. I agree with all your product tips and ideas. Thanks for your inspirations. Keep up the good work!!
I really agree with your picks! Especially the stampin scrub. I have two of them now and I think I am going to buy another because I know it is bigger now than it used to be. Have a wonderful 2014! and hope I win your 2014!
I agree with your list. I have everything except the candy dots and magnetic platform and the newest designer paper. Maybe during SAB 😉 Hope you have a happy, healthy and blessed year!
Happy 2014! I was so glad to mark the Trimmer off my wish list by purchasing it. It is far superior to the store bought trimmers. I did get the new bar and rotary trimmer. Good idea to get an extra trimmer so I don’t have to switch back and forth.
Hi Susan, I love so many of your favorite items too. I’m so excited for you to be going to Houston. That must be so great. Enjoy. 🙂
I’m always on the lookout for good scissors. you know we all have designer papers we love.

Happy 2014……………..I do not have the large scissors and I do not remember seeing any one using them. I will have to put this on my wish list. I never seem to have the right scissors when I am trying to cut. Looking forward to the new year of stampin with you.
I agree with most of your favorite list items! Enjoy reading your ideas.
Thanks for your inspiration, Susan. I really like checking your blog each day and have CASEd many of your ideas already. One of my favourite SU products is the magnetic platform. It has saved a lot of paper for me.
Thanks for sharing SU products you love #1.
