I'm rolling, cuz I threw that in because as I was answering the question, it reminded me of this scene in Miss Congeniality (FF to the last 20 seconds of this trailer, if you're not familiar with the movie)
;)
Alas, SU dimensionals will not work for this project; they gotta be perfectly round. But, I appreciate the suggestion!
Off the subject, but that is my all time favorite movie. I have seen it 5 or 6 times and it still makes me laugh!!

You are being sneaky and creative.:twisted: No one needs round dimensionals unless they aren't being used as dimensionals, right??

I need to have all of the supplies that I ordered arrive safely and quickly before DH finds out what I have bought. Other than that I need to find someone to clean up my basement and the rest of my house, and also have the kids remember that they have two parents and when dad is home they can ask him things as well. Other than that I have all the supplies that I need to last me at least a year or so.
The only thing I am even close to NEEDING is a new trimmer. Mine are horrible, worthless, wretched things! I could easily stamp for a year and not buy one thing, including envelopes and adhesives.
I just realized that I need more white envelopes!! Of course that would mean that I actually MADE something today other than a pile of trash.....ugh.....

Earlier today I NEEDED some baby oil to try out my new Prismacolor pencils. Borrowed some from my daughter-in-law. I've had my new Prismas for almost a week and couldn't use them because I was looking for cheap baby oil and the Dollar Store was out.
I now have my baby oil and I am loving my Prismas. I am happy.

A paper cutter that is reasonably priced that will cut a straight line on SU or thicker weight cardstock. I've tried Fiskars, Carl and Tonic and they only work well on paper or light weight cs. They always cut crooked or fold the cs on thicker weights.
Do I *need* anything - no way, no how - I could make many cards a day for years and still be fine!
What I would really love is some real ability to design cards (not just CASE them, though stamping brings me joy and happiness and apparently makes my customers very happy too, when they look at my cards and when they copy the cards that I've CASE'd for them to stamp at Stamp Camp)! Also some more time.
Another thing that would be great is for my arms and shoulders not to ache - I have fibro and it's been hurting to stamp lately and I refuse to stop stamping!!
Hope you feel better, Trish in Wisconsin - health is OH, SO IMPORTANT! I prayed for you as soon as I read your post - sorry you were in the hospital!

Your comment made me realize that I need a paper trimmer designed to be used on a lap, cuz that's where mine always is! I never have room on my table, once I get going on a project.
I also need more textured white paper from SU!, asap! AND...I need them to offer single packs of white in textured! Right now they only sell them in packs of all the neutrals. I'm up to my eyeballs in gray textured paper!
I am prepared to make hundreds of cards right now w/o buying a thing :-D, now this does not mean there aren't alot of things on my wishlist...I mean alot!!! LOL
I thought there was nothing that I NEEDED until I sat down to make a card tonight and realized that I really did need some pop dots to make a slider card. Fortunately I got to Hobby Lobby about 10 minutes before they closed. I did get my card done, it needs to go to a family function tomorrow.
I NEED to get up off my LAZY BUM and get OFF THE COMPUTER and go MAKE SOMETHING. That is what I need. :rolleyes:
Oh and I need a new blade for my paper trimmer. It is cutting everything all raggedy. This drives me insane.
And I need to clean up my mess of a craft room. I have literally a 2 ft path to and from the door. (It also serves as a guest room and the bed in there is gigantor. Maybe I need a smaller bed. )
I need some fun colored, neat and tidy design, not faux shabby designer paper (sooo over the muted and dirty-looking papers.) I'm going to lose my mind if I don't find some soon. (Okay I don't need that really but I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want it. Really, really.):twisted::mrgreen:
I NEED a good paper cutter before I go nuts. lol I use an acrylic square and rotary cutter...........my square always slips and I end up with angled paper and have to start over.
Of course the givens as well...........talent, time, money and world peace. *grin*
I also use an acrylic ruler and rotary cutter. Love it! To stop the slipping try putting strips of plastic (the kind you would use to put on a door or window during the winter) on the back of the ruler. Also remember the rule '3 fingers on 1 finger off'. Your little finger should be off the ruler and resting against it so it can't move when you cut.
I need a Walmarts, a Micheals, a Hobby Lobby and a Joanns!!!! There aren,t many craft chainstores over here . There is a Hobbycraft near me but there's no such thing as coupons and it's quite expensive.
I absolutely could stamp for the next 5 years without having to restock ...so I probably don't desperately NEED anything...but what I would really really reall really like is a paper cutter or guillotine which will cut straight!
I always need adhesives. Right now I am out of dimensionals. I have had a moratorium on buying stamping stuff since last fall. I hostessed a workshop and ordered one stamp set and some supplies in February. Other than that I am making do with what I have.
I need a ruler or something so I can get my layers on straight!

I needed a good paper cutter, too, Michelle, until I got the Tonic guillotine cutter by SU ;) .
Today... I need someone to paint the walls of my house so I can stamp instead ;) . And a good rock 'em sock 'em allergy medicine. Although the 3 or 4 a day I'm taking are holding things at bay for now.
What I need....my 11 x 11 room to grow to double the size over night...more energy...more time...I really dont need any more stuff in my room. My WANT list is long though...blessings
Oh excellent...I will try the Tonic one...I can get it cheaper not going through SU though
You wouldn't believe just how many cutters lay around my art area...an awful lot of money has gone into those blighters!
