Since we have a thread about what we don't like, how about what you DO like,and are happy that you bought? Tools and/or supplies that you can't live without? Best buy you ever made?

Mine would have to be my Fiskars soft grip craft knife. I use this little sucker for everything! With the soft handle your hand doesn't cramp up like some do.

The best buy I have ever got was my cuttlekid dies for $1 each last week.

My favorite tool, that I can't live without is the crop-a-dile.

RE: DittoBabyGirl: My Cricut Experssion and distressing ink

I love the Fiskars craft knife too...it's comfortable!

My favorite purchases are my Cricut...my Creative Memories circle cutters (and ovals and other shapes)...my paper cart on wheels...and I could go on and on! These are items that I seem to reach for almost every time I scrap though.

The Perfect Layers system. Since I bought mine they've added another one or two "rulers" to the set.

I checked QVC while I was posting and couldn't find it. That's where I bought mine. Maybe they're out of stock right now. I heard you can also get it from SU.

Well, I use my MM trimmer, Fiskars scissors, and repositional Dotto for every lo; but I guess it's my inks and embossing tool and powders that are the most fun.

You guys are going to laugh at this. Over the years there has been lots of discussion about this tool and none of it good. I must have gotten the only good one they ever made. It was the first trimmer I ever bought (and I've had 5 others since) and the one I reach for every time. The tape runner is something I use every time I scrap. The clear centering ruler is a God send. These are the things I couldn't live without. If you're looking for the things I like . . . how many days to you have???

And this is the best purchase I ever made. In fact I have two of them now. They stack:
