I ADORE Office Accoutrement but haven't ever used it...can you believe it? I have had it for years. I'll have to take a look at your gallery to see if I can find cards you have used with it.

All my BG stamps
All my sets that have cooresponding punches
I would never part with my Lovely As A Tree, Wonderful Words I & II, Classic Convertibles, Best Blossoms -- Actually, I don't think I could part with any of my floral sets!
I ADORE Office Accoutrement but haven't ever used it...can you believe it? I have had it for years. I'll have to take a look at your gallery to see if I can find cards you have used with it.
I bought Office Accoutrement right before it retired and I haven't never used my set either!
All God's Children I use it for Children's Ministry at church. [/URL][/SIZE][/COLOR]
ALPHABET SOUP I only buy greetings or verses I love, and I consider them timeless. The only one I have ever regrettted is Curvy Verses. I am going to use that one a few more times and then I will sell it.
BIRTHDAY WHIMSY. Love this set enough that I am selling a couple other birthday sets.
CHRISTMAS CARDINAL I actually just bought this set at a garage sale. Love it!
ESPRESS YOURSELF - I am so glad I bought this one, because I haven't liked any of the coffee themed sets I've seen since, either SU or other companies.
HAPPY HARMONY... that was such a great Sale-a-bration year.
A NEW LITTLE SOMEONE I don't do alot of baby cards, and the ones I do aren't birth announcements, so this set has worked for me really well. I love it. That bunny is adorable.
A few months ago, I saw Knobbly Gnomes in an old catalog and was on a frantic eBay search for them ... paid about $31 after shipping, and these suckers are never leaving! Do you hear that SU!, more gnomes!!!
That said, my will-likely-be-buried-with-me-sets:
Doodle This
Heavenly Days
Such a Tweet
Cute as a Bug
Toucan of My Love
Tart & Tangy
I have always loved Doodle This. I will probably get the large flower image and flourish tattooed on me some day. I love it that much!
I don't really strike myself (or others) as an angel person, but I find myself using Heavenly Days quite a bit. I love coloring the angel image and adding some glitter to her wings. She actually prompted me to buy Star-Spangled Day (that and one of my kids was born on the 4th of July) - great angel image in there as well.
I fell in love with Such a Tweet when flipping through an old mini. Wow, it was hard to find ... and, of all places, a demo had it sitting out on a table of retired sets at a craft fair. Brand spanking new for $15. (I would have paid WAY more.)
Cute as a Bug is cute as a bug.
Toucan on my Love was the first retired set I ever went on a search for. The phrase "toucan of my love" still makes me smile more than a year later.
Tart & Tangy ... timeless images, great for recipe cards and the scratch and sniff technique. Very cool. It's great when an inexpensive set makes your day!
Obviously, I'm not just a stamper ... I'm a collector

I have a big box of retired sets that I can't bear to part with yet. Many of them match up with the punches, but there's a few that don't.
My son WILL NOT let me get rid of Crab & Company. He loves stamping with that set. He's also in love with Just Beachy. Makes pictures all day long of the piranhas chasing the other fish. Both of my boys love birthday cards made with these two sets, so they're not leaving the house anytime soon. One more set that I can't part with... Just Hockey. I can understand why it was retired, but to us Canadians, it's part of the national culture. I should have bought 10 of the sets before they retired as I could have sold them all.

I did not buy Crab and Co nor Just Beachy.....loved them both. Putting them both on my list of retired sets that I have to have!

I am glad to see that someone else loves And Everything Nice, I will NEVER part with that one. ;)
Thanks to a lot of you enablers I have been able to pick up some wonderful retired sets that I did not even know exiseted. I did not even know about SU until 2005, the year I started stamping. This is a wonderful place to meet new stampers and form some wonderful friendships!
