you would gladly depart from that you have for scrapping?
I know we always talk about what we want or use a lot or can't scrap without so I thought it would be fun to do the opposite and hear what you would gladly donate or giveaway.
Sadly for me I am going to say the Design Runner from Xyron. I just never use it and completely forget I even have it. So what I don't use I am sure I won't miss. What say you?

My husband answered for me: "Nothing! I will never get rid of anything and I will keep buying MORE!" He's adorable. And, kinda correct! I might consider getting rid of my Memory Makers tag maker thingie. I haven't used it before and I've had it since it came out. But I do still enjoy that I have it, so I don't know! I spent some time last year making kits out of my Karen Foster stickers and matching papers and selling them and some other supplies on eBay, but I still have at least two of everything I sold. Maybe hubby's right  |

Does the stuff that some random LSS person talked DH into buying count? The Magic Disk that adds 1/4" around a shape, the blade thingy in a clear tube that you used to trace a stencil, the idea books... Gah! He means well.

Haha I think I have a few Magic Matters around that could go, too! It's funny to hear what other people (salespeople) think that someone just NEEDS to have in their stash sometimes.

I actually have probably way too much to list. dont' want to part with them but really could. then it would make more room for things I really want to have see my train of thought here. |

Definately could live without my circle cutter. The one that you hold down and spin around to cut. Thanks to LS nesting circles  I already got rid of the edge scissors and wish I had some back so I will be keeping the circle cutter just in case  Cindy |

An Ott light. Bought it 4-5 months ago....it's still in the box, in the bag, with a receipt. I hear that I will like it.....if I ever get it out and try it.  Pam |

Oh Pam, you need to break out that light! I have one on my table--it's  **PINK** and I love the flip up on/off feature. I can't say that I use it a ton for matching colors--I don't match things that closely. But I do like the light and how it works. |

One of those bendable rulers. The ones where you can shape it the way you want, then cut out that shape. Never used it, but thought I had to have it.
Then the Fiskars finger xacto knife thingy came out. I can cut and draw at the same time. Love it!

I bought the Sil. at a scrapbook retreat. It sat inthe box for a year. I took it out of the box, played with it a little, lokked at the cost of upkeep (blades, mats, internet connection, download shapes) was encoouraged to keep it, tried to sell it and finally gave it away. I do not miss it at all. Now that everyone has fainted, I will go stand in the corner.  Jenn |

Jenn...at least you found yours a good home. I did the same thing, bought an original Sil. and rarely used it. I just recently (earlier this year) detached mine from the computer and right now it's sitting in corner of my sb room!! I just go to my dies first........ Pam |

I did the same thing with my SIL. Bought it, moved, NEVER took it out of the box, then an updated version came out. Sold the original, didn't buy another one.
I've spent the last couple of months going through my scrapbook room and getting rid of everything that I don't want or have never used. There was a lot of stuff. It felt good to let it go.

Jenn, you can come out of the corner, hon!! Different strokes and all that jazz... I really don't use my Sil that much, my dies are still my go-to solution! When I need something in a special size, or an image I don't already own, that's when I look to my Sil. What could I give up? My Coluzzle templates - I really loved and used them, but since I discovered QK and Spellbinders, they've been sitting unused. Happily my LSS has a consignment sale once a year - coming up next month. Customers get to sign up to sell their castoffs. Whatever amount our stuff sells for, we get a gift certificate of equal value for the store! Don't even have to be there in person to sell the stuff! It's a win-win-win. The store gets the cash, it attracts new customers who come for the bargains, the sellers get gift certificates, and anything that doesn't sell is given to charity (a local Childrens' Hospital). If any of you have a LSS, you might want to suggest something like this...it's been a huge success here!  Gail |

Jenn (and a few more of you)...
May I join your "Don't Use/Gave Away My SIL Club"?
Mine went to my daughter, with my full permission to give it away/sell it if she could, if she discovered that she wasn't using it...and she did!

I still have mine, but it just sits on the shelf. I think the last time I used it was.... oh my goodness, Sisters bridal shower a year and a half ago!!! A few months ago I tried to use it and it started flipping out and cutting crazy so I shut it off and have not tried again.
I am helping with Sisters baby shower now and would love to make one of the thousands of designs that I have but do not want to mess with it. Spellbinders and Quickutz will have to do (which I love better anyway).

I'm with Gail. The Coluzzle stuff I have I never used. I even threw oyt the mat that ypu were supposed to keep and cut on....ooops!
We all scrap differently and that's what makes us such a terrific group. I love my SIL. I keep it right in front of me, hooked up ready to go. I love being able to resize shapes to the size I want. So far the cost of the machine upkeep has been low, still on my orginal blade and mat. Love working with vinyl. I think I may do my snowman fridge again this year.

The Original Cop-A-Dile! I bought it because "it could cut through layers and layers of paper bags like they were soft butter." Want to know how many paper bag albums I made with it... ONE! Yea...I found another way to make paper bag albums. So now it is used to punch a new hole in DH's belt when he looses weight. Yea...I paid almost $30 for a belt punch.  |

While I don't use my Crop-a-Dile a lot (and I've NEVER punched a paper bag with it), I have used it for other small chipboard albums. For example, I made albums for each of my grandsons' first birthdays...I just cut giant tags, decorated them, (including pictures of cake-covered kids), punched holes on the short end, ran binder rings through the holes, and ties lots of matching ribbon on the rings.
I'm not quite ready to get rid of it yet, but I could probably find another solution if I had to. But it is great with chipboard!
Like Gail, the Coluzzle stuff went away a long, long time ago.
