My first time reading your blog and it is great!! My newest find is something I have been researching and contimplating for some time - I want to purchase either a cuttlebug or cricut machine - just haven't taken the plunge yet! I NEED ONE SOON!!!
Hello Tracy...nice giveaway...if it's not a problem, I have let people know about your contest via my blog. Hmm...great find? I guess some of the organizational items I have bought to get things off the floor and out of drawers and on to the wall (magnetized notice boards, magnetized spice holders (for brads, eyelets, etc.), hooks, etc.). This has been vital since my fourteen month old is an aspiring stamper even if all she does right now is chew the rubber off the blocks!
I am new to your blog and I'll certainly be coming back. Great blog. I guess I am like everyone else who is jumping on the buttlebug wagon. I so want to get some of those folders. I am thinking of going with the Big Shot too.
My latest and greatest craft purchases are:
*Cuttlebug
*Sakura clear Stardust Gel Pen
*Sakura glue pen
Great candy!!!
Hi Tracy,
Wow, thank you for offering such great blog candy!! My newest favorite find is my making memories piercing tool and a piece of styrofoam to put under it when I'm piercing. I can get nice big holes that way. :-)
Cindy
I check your blog out every time you post something. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us. My newest favorite things are the Cuttlebug Embossing folders. They make great backgrounds!
Cheryle
I just got one of those Cuttlebug embossing folders and will be trying it out with my rolling pin this week. Hope it really works!!!
For the photos, if you rename them with "SCN001_1" instead of just "SCN001"....it should allow people to click on it for a larger image.
I love my Cuttlebug!!! I just bought it, and had to wait to get some embossing folders, but since they arrived, I've been an embossing fool! LOL!
I was reading your blog yesterday. Love the Eyore card.
Nice blog candy. I think the one thing I would like would be a craft room but that isn't likely to happen so I would be happy with a 12x12 printer.
One thing that I recently purchased was a white Uni-globe pen. I love it. It was pricey but I figure for what I pay for white gel pens that don't work, it was well worth the money.
Love your blog, great eyore card, would love to know where you found that stamp. TFS
My favorite find at the moment are the bella stamps! I'm soooo addicted to them, I just can't seem to get enough. Great candy and great blog!
Love your blog and what a great giveaway! My newest favorite find is definately my new cuttlebug. Can't seem to use it enough lately.
Pat
or me it is undressed chipboard. I know that it is by no means new and people have been using it for a long time but I have never used it. i just bought some the other day so I can play (if my baby ever goes to sleep). LOL!
Wow - this is so generous of you Tracy! Great blog candy! My newest favourite find would have to be the cuttlebug embossing folders (with the rolling pin). I was so sad that I couldn't afford the cuttlebug until I found out that you can use a rolling pin (see allthatscraps.com if you haven't seen it yet). My first folder just came in the mail TODAY so I'm off to try it!

(re: pics that pop up in blogger - when you upload the pic are you reducing the size first? If you upload at full size, it should be doing it automatically... sorry, that's all I can help you with!)
Thanks for the intro to your blog. I will be adding a link to my blog. My favorite new find is my cuttlebug. I see everyone is saying that but it is true. The first time I put a sheet through an A2 folder. I was shocked at how deep the embossing was and how easy it was to do.
My new favourite thing is Provo Craft's embossing folders. I use them with my Zip e Mate but I've been told they can be used with a rolling pin with good results.

Love your blog, Tracy, and the card you made for your 4-year-old is adorable so you are not a bad mommy!
My latest favourite find was a set of 81 gel pens, plain, sparkle, and metallic, in oodles of colours at Costco. They came in a great clear display case with a handle and were very reasonable (around $16.95) I believe. The best thing is that they actually write!!! LOL
Janet Genser
My newly purchased treasure is a scalloped circle punch. What a great tool to enhance a card!
newest greatest find would have to be the scalloped punches and the cuttlebug! Nice giveaway, love your blog
Hi Tracy! Thanks for the invite to see your blog and enter this great give-away!
My newest find . . . or purchase that I just really love is the SU set Fancy Flexible Phrases. It has a lot of great words and I love the font.
DeAnna
OOO, Blog Candy!!!
Great blog, by the way!
Hmmm, I recently discovered Lindt Truffles....YUMMALICIOUS in every flavor :D
wow...nice give away! My newest latest find is Primas...I know silly, they have been around for sometime but I just got my first bottle at Christmas & just love them now. Keep in touch with my blog too, soon I will be giving away an awesome blog candy!
My hubby got me a cuttlebug last week :) I am loving that that bug so much. And the best thing is that it was bought with love. Everything is better and has a special place in the heart that way.
Tanya
It is a toss up between my cuttlebug and my mega giga scalloped punch. Both are awesome!
Heather B.
My favorite thing right now is glitter-loose or stickles or in pens. Or on premade paper even. My daughter makes fun of me because I made over 50 cards last week and 90% of them had glitter. We went to the stamp store on Sunday and the proprietor had all sorts of glittery cards-so I am quite in fashion. I even bought another bottle.
Wow! What a lucky girl who wins your fun blog candy! :D My latest 'find' - I have been drooling over all the cuttlebug creations that I have seen! I can't wait til I can get one too (and the billions of toys that go with it) ;)
Nice giveaway...and great blog!
My latest "find" is some beautiful ribbon at Michael's that comes on cute little bobbins. FOund via another online friend Yvette!
TFS!
Hi Tracy,
I've enjoyed reading your blog. I actually learned something too. I am impressed with that punch. Can't even remember the proper name of it though. The crocodile one? I have a Silent Setter but this tool looks like it would be a lot easier to use. I think it will take closer investigation. The price sounds really good too. Another thing I saw, while surfing other people's blogs through your links, was a scalloped punch. I 'really' like that too. I'm going to see if I can find one in the stores in town.
I don't have anything new lately but I did buy some brass stencils recently and using my light table I've been enjoying the making of cards using these tools.I've bookmarked your blog so I can come back to it whenever I want.
Thanks for sharing.
Linda Ervin
This is my first time here. I've put you in my favorites so I will be returning. Wow! What a great give-away!
My greatest find has to be My Big Shot, CB Embossing Folders and my all time favorite the Crop-a-dile.
Rita
My favorite find is something simple - foam core board to organize ribbon. I saw this idea on someone's blog and I loved it!
Hi Tracy, Thank you for such an awesome blog. I enjoy your postings and read it every day. My newest find has been the cuttlebug embossing folders thanks to everyone at Splitcoast. They really dress a cards up.
This is a fabulous give away. Thanks.
Cheryl
This is my first visit to your blog, but I know I will be back everyday! My favorite find would have to be my Japanese hole screw punch. I just love that thing and use it all the time. Will make a hole through anything in the blink of an eye. Thanks for sharing! Christine
Hi Tracy, First time visitor...but I'll be back! (Allison sent me)
Newest find...I actually found somewhere that wasn't OUT of the Marvy Giga Scallop Oval punches last nite...so I ordered TWO...and they will be here friday...I'm SO excited!!!
Great blog...keep up the great work!
~Lana B.~

Great job on your blog, Tracy!
I love seeing your daily posts.
I'm very interested in your
giveaway items....I think I may
turn into a stamper yet!
Have a great day!!
Susan D. from Angelwicks.
Great Blog and glad I found it. My grat find lately is not craft related but brings alot of joy and we are overjoyed. We got a new puppy and he is a delight and yet a giant nuisance all in a very small package. Our house is upside down sine
Hi Tracy! I would have to say that my newest favorite find is my Sakura Stardust Pen. Congratulations on 5,000 hits. I will return the favor and let people know of your giveaway on my blog. Have a great day!
Great blog, am planning to come back to visit it for sure. As for my latest great find, I would have to say it is the "Cuttlebug" "olivia" alphabet and the 2by2 folders that one can get.
Great contest idea too, keep on bloggin :)!
Hmmm.... favorite find -- I'm *dreaming* of a new digi camera (canon rebel xti!!) So that's my dreaming goods right now :-) aahhhh 10maga-pix -- dreamy! Other than that, I'm actually *finding* all my gadgets at home & USING them.... not just collecting! LOL. I did just order some Prima Flowers & I'm looking forward to playing with those!
My newest favorite 2 finds are:
#1 Cuttlebug embossing folders
#2 Giga/Mega Punches

Hmmm, my newest find? I'm in NJ and we just got a super market that is based out of NY called Wegmans...and their Ultimate Chocolate Cake is easily the most amazing thing I have ever eaten! The icing is like fudge. Yummmmy.
My newest find is a new kind of adhesive that I am ordering from MyInkyFingers called Ad Tech -- she says it is much stickier than Tombo, so I am going to try it out! Sometimes even my permanent tombo tries to pop off! Lisa -- great blog candy!!!
hi tracy!
my current favorite-- GLITTER!! all kinds of it. didn't know glitter could be so fun! i love the two-way glue pen from stampin up.
Hi Tracy,
I love to pop in and see what new ideas you have in Disneyland. :)
My new favourite thing isn't a stamping tool, but I use it for writing on the inside of the card and addressing the envelopes. I could never write in a straight line before and my Mum (the Queen scrapbooker) got me one of these cool writing tools from Creative Memories. It's called a 'Journaltopia Writing Guide.' It has a navy blue plastic base (like a ruler) and these funny little flexible wire loops along the base that you write on top of. Unlike using a ruler to keep your lines straight, with this tool, you don't need to go back and add all your bottoms for letters like 'y, g, j and p.' It works great to keep you're writing in a straight line. Who thinks these things up...is what I want to know! lol :)
Have a great day everyone!
Julie
My newest find is a stamp set...I love the Happy Harmony set! I love the sayings on it. I've been stamping cards, candles etc!
YM
My newest find is something that I invented/designed and will be available in about 5 weeks. It is a scoring tablet called "Scor-Pal". The scoring surface is 12"x12" with grooves at all the pertinant places for card making, grid cards, gate fold, accordian fold, box making and much, much more. You will be able to make multiple scores at diferent intervals without moving the card stock. It has a snap in feature to hold the scoring tool that comes with it.
Oh my I don't have any of those Michaels stamps - and that is saying something, as I have a lot now!!!! What gorgeous gorgeous blog candy.
Um now I have just found all my cuttlebug embossing folders, and in love with these I am, and I also am coveting all the gorgeous Michael's ribbons I keep seeing and wanting and can't have, hick, gulp (I will not cry) he he
Oh! My Gosh!!! What a beautiful set of Blog Candy!! Thank you. I know you have heard this, but I haven't been as tickled with anything as I am with my NEW Cuttlebug!!! When I showed it to my daughter, I jumped up and down. Did you ever see a 70 year woman jump up and down? I was surprised that I could jump!
Hi, my favorite find is/will be a scalloped punch once I get then ones my GF bought me (thanks DANA@!!). Can't WAIT to use them! hehee
My pics get bigger when you click on them but I have no notion why. When I uploaded I put them in as medium size. And when you click on them MAN are they huge! Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful.

So, my birthday is next week and my present came yesterday with what it was printed on the shipping box. Too bad for hubby...great for me. It was a cuttlebug and I am so excited!! I love the look the embossing folders give to everyone's cards and I can't wait to use mine. So, it is my favorite even though it is brand new.
Oh, and JoAnn's does free shipping on all their cuttlebug stuff so I already ordered some embossing folders.. Fun, Fun.
Great blot Tracy! My thing is my birthday money I got in the mail today. My birthday is Friday and we don't live near any of our family any more so I get birthday money from everyone. And what does that mean....I get to buy more craft stuff....YAY!!
My lastest find... hmmm... I found some metal heart charms in the $.20 bin at my LSS. Four on each card!
hmmm, my favortie find lately is the big paper clips, i'm having fun playing with those! Just found your blog, great ideas!
Hi Tracy - thanks for sharing the blog candy. My newest find is the embossing folders for the cuttlebug that were just launched at CHA. Unfortunately they won't be available until April so I will have to be patient for a few months!!!!
Congrats on your hits!
I think my favorite new craft find is these heart shaped spiral clips by Making Memories. They are perfect for Valentine's day cards and wedding cards, or actually any cards for loved ones!! I just bought them but they may not be so "new" in the stamping world :)
Thanks for the chance for some blog candy!
~pl
Just linked to your blog from Laura Leonard's, and I've subscribed.
Let' see - my favorite thing lately is my Making Memories edge distressor. i love it and use it on nearly every card. Second place would be the Crop-a-dile. :-)
My great find is the Cuttlebug embossing dies. Very fast and easy, a great base for a card.
DeniseB
It's my first time here (I found you via Allison's blog) but I love your blog - great eye candy! My newest find, which isn't all that new, is my Big Shot die cut machine. I am addicted to the Cuttlebug embossing folders and dies like everyone else and they work great in the BS.
Wow! I just found your blog and I love it!! What a handy time to find it, too--just in time to enter to win some C-A-N-D-Y!! So my newest and funnest finds would be to FINALLY own one of those hard to find scallop circle punches (it came in last week from JoAnns), my sakura stardust pen, and what would be nice is a new and improved white gel pen that does not make that pesky "trail" when i write with it!! grrrr....
Well, the Bellas are my grat find. I have yet to purchase one becasue I want them all!! LOL So I am holding off, but they are so my stlye!!
I have discovered Bazille Bling paper. It is textured Bazille with a pearlized surface that is totally WOW!! Put it in a Cuttlebug and you have double WOW!
My great find? Using the clear plastic that my Cuttlebug dies come in to make acrylic die cuts (think Heidi Swap).
Lois H
I must say my newest find is the Cuttlebug - thanks to Tracy!! I absolutely love it and keep finding excuses to use it!!
My future favourite find is Snap Stamps. I'd love to have the versatility of them - I just have to find a great price for them.
Love your site!
Linda (momtooandz on SCS)
The last thing I bought was Making Memories glitter paint - it is great and I use it to just bling up some little areas on cards and altered projects.
Sarah
I feel like I should leave something more original, but I just got my Cuttlebug last week and I love it! I also ordered some ribbon from Starlit Studio and it is fabulous!
Wonderful blog candy, by the way!!!
Heather
I have a few things on my wish list...at the top are the latest *four* lines of patterned paper from Basic Grey!!! They are *delicious*!!! I'm also very curious and excited about the new 'bind-it-all' personal wire binding machine! Thank you for sharing some goodies!
Cristina
Hi Tracy...
My greatest find right now would be more time. Wouldn't that be the ultimate find for most Moms?! Let alone crafting Moms.
Kerry
Hi Tracy...
I'm excited about my find - it's a Wizard Spellbinder. This little machine does just about everything I need it to, except clean up my craft room for me afterwards:)
Linda SS
Stickles! I didn't know what all the fuss was about, until I bought some for my Secret Valentine . . . the lighter colors just appealed to me SO MUCH, I can't wait to buy some for myself!
Forgot to put down my favorite new find! So I deleted that comment and I'm entering this one!
Anyway, my favorite new find is my Cuttlebug. I stick mostly with SU products since I'm a demo, but I couldn't resist this wonderful little toy (and the embossing folders, dies, and alphabets to go with it!). I also just recently started buying patterned paper - Basic Grey and Crate Paper are my favorites!
