If I could have one wish....it would be something I haven't been able to find. It's a guillotine type cutter that is 12 incheswith lines marked on it for easy measuring. I use my smaller guillotine cutter everyday, but it would be so nice if it could cut paper that is 12 inches!
If not that,....then I suppose a clean and organized craft room would be divine!

After posting this, I thought I would look somewhere I should have looked before....in my SU! catty....there it was all along! DUH! The cutting tool of my dreams is now on my wish list!!
I'd like an expanding craft room, with perfect lighting, windows affording great natural light, coordinating Pottery Barn-styled desk, shelving, and cabinetry to house my 12x12 papers/cardstock, all my stamps (1" drawers), die-cut equipment, punches, misc. tools, and embellishment collection. It would also have a sink, multiple work surfaces, and a wood/tile floor (easier to clean).
Oh, the room should be self-purging of all the stuff that I "had to have" and will never use. It will be smart enough to figure out what I might eventually use and what was ridiculous to buy. Then it should give the purged stuff to the staff (see below) who will bestow it on a charitable organization that will use it and then collect the tax write-offs.
I'd like staff who would clean the house, shop and prepare tasty healthy foods, run all the usual errands, keep track of receipts, and also talk me out of my impulse purchases.
While I'm wishing, I'd also like all the dies that I want now and in the future, the Copics I'm missing, all refills (I have none yet), and an airbrush. Yeah. And all future stamps that I want.
It's nice to dream.
**Edited to add: I really, really want a clear ruler with 1/16 lines grid lines all the way through (not just on the ends).
Now, if I had a fairy Godmother, I would wish for all 322 copic Sketch colors. I only have 12 right now and love them, but would LOVE to have them all.
I would wish for a couple extra hours in the day. I have plenty of supplies, a great studio and have no problem cooking or cleaning for my family... I just need 26 hours in the day to get it all done!
If the fairy god mother could come I would want her to have a professional decorator to redecorate my home esp my craft room with cool cabinets, a new paint job, hardwood floors and a nice desk - supply the shelves with the hottest products. Also make it so that dust doesnt appear as often, so I can clean less and have more time to play. (LOL!!)
I'd like a magic door, for everyone. When you walk through it everyone who is online would be in one massive craft warehouse with all us all doing our thing, and a shop to go and mooch in open 24 --- 7.
I would love it for a fairy godmother to come in and clean and organize my craft room. And not just a one time deal, but after every time I use it. I really have more than enough stuff to play with, but just not the time to do it. My craft room is always a mess and with limited free time I would prefer to spend it stamping/creating versus cleaning and organizing.
In fact a couple years ago, my DH gave me a gift certificate for a personal trainer and I told him I would much rather have a professional organizer work on my craft room. If anyone wants an unused personal trainer gift certificate I have one!

I don't want a craft room. I want a craft cottage in the backyard with a little kitchenette and a small sleeping area. Way away from kids and husbands and work!

I want my fairy godmother to bring me all of the new Tim Holtz alcohol ink colors. They are so soft and pretty. If she's feeling really generous she can also bring me Tim Holtz;) (to teach me a few techniques)
I want to be able to quit my job, but still have enough money to keep my nanny and cleaning lady, PLUS add a cook that will make nutritious meals for my family and then clean up afterwards.
I really just want more time to craft and more creativity when I do. ;)
Time is the problem for most of us. I'm taking two online courses, teaching, and trying to stamp and craft. I do have someone to clean my part of the house and she is a crafter too. However, my fairy godmother could take care of the yard, the dogs ( my kids are grown ) and laundry. I wouldn't mind cooking
ahhhhh I'd kill for a properly built 20' work table with a granite surface. But since that's not about to happen, I guess I'm stuck with my end to end tables and hunks of glass LOL

Love my nesties too , now that I know how to cut them . Duh! It's right on the Big Shot platform. I need the circles also. Speaking of work space. My fairy godmother needs to move the teak table that is high enough to work on to my craft space. It is awesome. Has drop leaves and is high enough to keep my back from breaking.Got it at auction for 17.00 however, I need somebody with muscles to move it downstairs.
I like to work at at least breast high. My work table now is an antique ironing board. I have three and they are the right height.
