Now onto accessories! I really think I will get use from the banner framelits bundle. I didn't think I would want the matching stamp set but I think I need it just for the Make a wish stamp if nothing else. This is probably on most peoples favorites as banners are still pretty big right now.

Another stamps set that I overlooked the first dozen times going through the catalog is the Simply Celebrate set, but it keeps drawing me back to it. I know I can use this for some everyday cards to send out just to cheer up people and say hi and the "enjoy" stamp will work great on little handouts I pass out to people.

Also on my first order was this MUST have Spiral Flowers die! I love to make little flowers but many don't get mailed out since they are so bumpy but this will make it sooo much simpler to do these little rolled flowers. I can not wait to play with this. I think my little one will use it more than me once she sees it but that's ok too!
