Materialistic: A Bosskut Gazelle. Or a Kodak ESP9 Printer. Or a double-wire coil binding machine. None of it is going to happen! LOL. I'll keep on saving!! Hopefully my Gazelle will come home to live in February or March.
heavy: There's quite a bit, but mostly, a cure for Muscular Dystrophy. Not for me, really. I'm fine as I am, I have a great life, a wonderful home, amazing family, a great neighborhood, and a lot of love in my life! But for the kiddos just being born with MD and being diagnosed - if they could live without even really noticing the MD, it'd be the best Christmas miracle I ever had happen. (And there have been quite a few!)
Well, what I really want for Christmas is for the guys in my life (my boyfriend and son) to get their heads screwed on straight and appreciate and love me. But I am thinking that is a tall order for less than 30 days......so in lieu of that, I would really like an elliptical machine so I can work out and get in shape and find a new boyfriend. ;)

Whatever is BEST for YOU, I hope it works out, Merry Christmas!
My parents are both 80 with some health issues- and there are 7 kids spread out all over the USA- so my wish is that everyone makes it safely and in the best health possible to our family Christmas gathering!
And secondly, I would wish for more stamping time......
A baby! DH and I have been trying to adopt now for almost 5 years. Been with our current agency since April. Being chosen by a Birth Mom (we would like an open adoption) and being able to adopt for Christmas would be so great!
I thought this was going to be all about what crafting tool/supplies we wanted. I was really moved to see that when it comes down to what really matters, most of us want something far deeper than that-family, health, jobs, peace, etc.
I am just looking forward to having our girls and their new hubbies here for Christmas. I want to spend time with all of my family and loved ones. I want to see my dad be able to let go of the past (my brother's death and my mom divorcing him) and have a relationship with God again. I want to see all of my loved ones saved.
Now, as far as crafting goes, two things I wanted for Christmas was the Storybook cartridge and the Scorpal. Thanks to hubby letting me get myself early presents, I bought the Scorpal used off a lady here for $21 including shipping and got the Storybook cartridge from Customcrops for $24.99. There are other things I'd like to have but I told dh I want whatever HE wants to get me, something from the heart, kwim? Oh and he said I could get SCAL. I've done excellent already! lol
p.s. Saying a prayer for those who mentioned things like wanting a baby, losing loved ones, needing jobs, etc. God bless you all!
More than anything, I want a house. Hubby and I have been renting for ages and would love to have a place of our very own but with our current financial situation, it doesn't look like it will happen for a while more.

For myself, I'm fortunate to be able to buy most things that I really want so I don't really "want" anything. I'll probably ask for a vacumn for my hardwoods because my other one is so trashed. But what I really want is health for my dear mother who recently had a heart attack and a job for my brother who can't seem to catch a break. Here's hoping that we get all our Christmas wishes big and small!
For all the stray doggies, and those in pounds and shelters, to get loving homes.
hear, hear! I did three fundraisers for the human society this year and I learned a lot about the horrible side of human nature when it comes to things they do and don't do for their pets. I know there are many worse things out there than the problems of the little furry guys, but this is one thing we can actually DO something about!

For my daughter to not have any more pain in her hips. She is far away in college and she is waiting to have her hip sockets remade. The doctor told us she needed to have hip surgery 2 days before she left for college. She is trying to hold off on the operation until school is out for the summer. The pain meds are heavy and are not doing what they are sueppose to do.
Craft wise, I would love to have the light and bar for my new genesis trimmer. Gotta wait till I save more monies.
Peace for a dear friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and peace for the family of friend who passed away today from Luekemia...CANCER sucks....
Better yet...a freaking CURE for cancer...

Ok I will play along,
Deep~ I wish I could be with our family for the holidays my husband and I and our children are over 2000 miles away from our family, so I wish we could be with them for the holidays
Craft~ paper organization really would like the jetmax cubes with the 3 sections...
ok...really really I would love to see my two sons who are not saved, get that way and have a relationship with God. I pray for this every single day. Secondly, that my baby at Pensacola Christian College will stay the course and graduate with his degree and hopefully want to stay for his masters degree. I would truly love to see all people on their way to heaven...I do what I can. Many blessings to all of you ladies..you all have such wonderful hearts.
blessings.
Wow, I meant for this to be light, but I can see we all have some heavy stuff to wish for . For me it would be for my son to be drug free with a 40 hour job that he is happy doing. He goes off drugs, gets a job, doesn't get enough hours to support himself, gets depressed, and goes back to drugs to feel better. It's such a cycle and I feel helpless to help him. Please say prayers. I'm looking for a miracle. This is my kind hearted son who brings in stray adults and gives them a place to live ( at my expense since I'm paying the mortage) He becomes someone else when he is on drugs. He's happier when working. I know it and so does he.

YES, Cancer SUCKS, especially when it has hit your family, and especially during the holidays!
That all my children could/would come home for Christmas. That my DGD's surgery goes well and that she doesn't need to have the other leg done. that myDH would give up and go see the DR about some medical problems he is experiencing.

I'm spoiled as far as craft stuff. I have everything I need or could possibly want. I need energy to get my Christmas projects done! I want to turn some of this stash of flannel and polar fleece into tops and night shifts for the huge project my sister's church is working on. ( They signed up for TEN huge families... almost 70 children! plus just a few adults that asked for anything,, mostly they put down the elderly. Not one toy on the list, just clothing)
I am going through a divorce. There is nothing I can do about it because my husband evidently considered it a marriage of convenience. I would love a new friend or two for compantionship. You know how it is when you've had to let some problem friendships end because they are takers and manipulators? And friends die of course.
Lol and right now I wish I had a sewing friend near Roseville MN who could help me cut out this stuff! Aren't crafts a wonderful release? We have to concentrate on what we're doing and get that feeling of achievement when it's done. So often it's a gift and we can enjoy giving it to someone we care about.
I've never heard of a lot of this stuff! pazzle? jetmax cubes? genesis trimmer?
I know what a baby is though! Sometimes if you sign up for fostering a baby, you would have the chance of adopting if it's available. Sometimes they are abandoned at the hospital. Yes, it can break your heart to let them go but you live through it. You can't count on anything until you know positively you can adopt the child. I never fostered babies but mostly teens and they are a lot easier to let go! There are lots of American children who need adopting!

I am crying and laughing at the same time here. This is a nice thread.
I would like for my husband to find a job. Obviously financially it stinks. (that's putting it mildly) But he is so stressed and upset...I hate seeing him like this.
For my indulgent wish I would like a house cleaner to come 2x a month. I hate cleaning!!! LOL!
Craft wish: more time to craft!!
From Scor Pals to jobs to health to babies: I hope that all your wishes come true. If not by December 25th, then soon afterward. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Hugs,
You all deserve everything that your hearts desire. You make me realize how blessed my life truly is. I hope everyone enjoys the season no matter what your financial (or other) situations are. God bless you all.

No crafting supplies for me this Christmas. I wanted a slide show picture frame and it's under the tree. It's even wifi. I got a slice just recently, purchased it from a member of 2peas so I don't need anything else.
I would also love for my novel to sell. I haven't yet sent it to a publisher but it would be an awesome after Christmas present. It's a awesome novel, science fiction/romance. Better yet, that I'd get the dang editing done on both novels so I can get them copyrighted and get them to a publisher and can start working on the third novel. It's a series of six novels.
For every one who has a tremendous burden, I hope your Christmas wishes come true.
A better way to organize all of my stuff. I would love a big cabinet with doors that closed so that it looked neater instead of my bookcases. I tols my DH but the look I got was not promising. Sigh.... Santa, are you listening????

Your novel series sounds intriquing ... I hope your wish comes true and we'll soon be seeing a post sharing your great news of being published.
I hope this is the season of miracles for all the "deep" wishes on this thread.
My not-a-cure-for-cancer wish: a (working) vintage typewriter. How awesome would sentiments look when typed on the inside? (answer: freakin' awesome, my friend.)
I hope everyone's wish will come true. It seems most of you want some form of peace, whether it be of mind, body or soul for yourselves or for a dear family member. I wish this for each of you.
OK, peace of mind is the mom or wife who wants a job for their child or DH or someone to clean their house (boy would I love that and someone to organize my house but not me now) or organize their space. The peace of body is for the cure of cancer or other ailments which afflict us. The peace of soul is for literally the souls of our family members.

All I really want for Christmas is for my hubby's baby sister to visit for Christmas and bring her baby for me to give a little loving to. A bonus would be if she would leave her jail bird, can't hold down a job, nose breaking, controlling, abusive, scumbag boyfriend and come and stay with us for a while.
On a lighter note I wouldn't say no to a laptop computer, SLR camera or some copics...

I wish for my Mother to find happiness and stop being so mean, hateful and cranky.
And to have a nice family Christmas without her walking out because she can, her words not mine.
Craft stuff i want;
I really want a cuttlebug
Angelic stamp set
glaze pens
I would like DH to find a full time job. (We are blessed that since his layoff he has found part-time freelance work, but something more permanent would make me feel better.)
We truly are blessed that we have been able to weather this situation well. (Health, financial, etc.) Actually saving more money now then when he was employed. Tells you how much we were wasting!
I have so much crafting stuff that I haven't touched in awhile that I can't say there is anything that I really need or want. I can always go for more adhesive and paper. ;)
What I want most for Christmas is for my kids to be happy. My oldest DD is having problems with her husband, my next DD is having issues with her ex-husband (doesn't like to pay his child support, BUM!!!), my oldest DS is having issues with his DD's mom (seeing a trend here? None picked very good partners), and my middle son doesn't seem to be willing to put forth much effort in college. And my 9 yo is having issues with low self-esteem and mean girls. <sigh> I'd love to see all these issues resolved.
As for me, I have a crafting/photography list a mile long, but I really don't need anything.
