Have you seen the little 'gummy'/rubbery squares? CM & others had them, & they're great for getting rid of extra adhesive, rub-ons, all sorts of stray stuff you don't want on your page. :) I think CM's is called a Pick-up Square.

I use a gum eraser...it also removes 'stray' ink if you get it right away!

Ooh, and a Mary Poppin's type trunk or bag, so I could keep all my scrapbooking stuff in one small convenient portable place until I want to get it out. :D

If I can add Mary herself to clean up after me, I'm in!



I would worry about her being too cheery or singing all the time, though... I suppose if you could keep her silently tucked away in the closet with the rest of the cleaning utinsils until you needed her, that'd be okay... :bluelol: :winkb:

I want the Mary Poppin's bag too! ONLY---it also self-organizes your stuff as well--when you are done using an item--just drop it in the bag--and BAM!!! It is put right back where it belongs!!! LOL




Amen to both these!!

love the idea of the adhesive for everything!

I don't need Mary though...I find cleaning and organizing my scrappy stuff relaxing!!!

I would love to have a black gel pen that is permanent and will write on anything! Several years ago, this existed. It was made by Pilot (Pilot Permaball). For some reason they quit making it, but it was seriously the best pen to journal with on absolutely any surface.

I would like some of the manufacturers to produce instructional DVD's showing their lines used in making layouts and mini albums - step by step. I do not have a LSS near me and have never been to a crop but would love to get video instructions and ideas.


Archiver's offered a class on a cosmo cricket recipe book which I couldn't take but would love to see and they also had an Art journal on display by 7 Gypsies that I fell in love with. They were not offering a class on it but allowed me to take pictures of each page.

ATG 1/2 inch is perfect for a wide adhesive.
EK success hasRub-On & Adhesive Remover Tool Kit-Pink
I've heard of CM's 12in circle cutter is about the truest 12 inch one out.


I would like an EHD that never dies and never fills up.
Paper wise.... I'd love the perfect desk mat that shows no paint spills, ink stains, cuts, sanding dust, dirt, etc. Oh and it must cover my whole desk perfectly ;)

Ohh, great addition!! Can you even imagine how expensive this bag would be?? I

And I also agree with the letters... or that you could just place an order for the phrase you want and *poof* it shows up in front of you... <---- I suppose that's called a cricut, though... *sigh*

There are quite a few companies making these now! CM has lots, Jolee's has lots; I know there's some paper in the shop here that's really cool as well as a digi kit (which you can always print out & then use on a paper LO).

I would love that too! and.... that it would turn into a key to put in the handbag, like that commercial on TV where the girl turns on the alarm and her big truck turns into a key into her purse :) I'll keep on dreaming :winkb:

I totally agree that we need extra, extra vowels and the most used consonants. I have two granddaughters and their names are Samantha (3 a's) and Elizabeth (2 e's). I have to buy extra sheets to have enough letters.

For me, I'd just like to see the album folks put more than 10 page protectors in a post /top loading album. I'd be so willing to pay the extra and Yes! I know I can buy refills but I just HATE adding them.

And you?
This is what I want too! I hate refills, usually I just start a new album. But that means I have "Part 1, Part 2, etc." albums. I found a couple of times albums with 20 page protectors in them. Wish I had stocked up because they are really hard to come by. Whatever, charge more for the album if you think you're losing money on refill pages, I don't care, just give me a bigger album! (and don't tell me about 3 rings, I just can't get into them)

Ooh I'll have to try that. I usually end up scratching it off and adding a different embellie there.
