I want to get an embossing machine for Christmas. I have been drooling over the Vagabond, but it's more likely that I'll end up with a Cuttlebug...meets the need and gives us a little extra cash in the pocket to make the holidays more fun for the kiddies.
Posted by: Miriam Prantner | Monday, November 21, 2011 at 09:55 AM
I am asking for a new point-n-shoot camera for christmas...my dslr is just too bulky to bring everywhere!

Well since you asked & maybe you could pass it along to Santa maybe? I'd LOOOOVE A Kelly Moore Photography bag. I wanted one for my Bday but the Bday fairy didn't get around to me this year .. so maybe I'll have more luck w/Santa? I am currently using a baby bag as my camera bag.. hmm did I mention my "baby" is 4 now :)

Posted by: Anna Petitt | Monday, November 21, 2011 at 10:43 AM
I love this collection. I've been searching for a full-time job for a while now. What I really want for Christmas is a job. However, I think something better to wish for would be that all of the servicemen and women serving our country stay safe and out of harm's way. I truly wish they could all spend the holidays with their families. That would be an amazing gift!
Posted by: Carol (ScrapMomOf2) | Monday, November 21, 2011 at 10:45 AM

I don't have anything on my list for Christmas...my hope is that my children have a magical one! They are getting close to that age where they find out (maybe 2 more years) so I want each one to be special!! My dd wants fairy wings. You know, the real ones that will make her fly. She has been trying to decide if she wants the kind that shrink her down to "fairy" size or to stay her size...All that being said, anything scrapbook related would make me happy on christmas morning!! Thanks for the chance to win!
