Blog Birthday Day 5 Challenge
"Tell me 3 things that you asked Santa to bring you this Christmas"
I actually asked for only one thing this year. . .I asked for:
- 1 Copic Sketch Markers 72 marker set C
I have an interesting story about this request. My husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year. . . .
I said: "a copic sketch marker 72 piece set C".
He looked it up on the Internet and saw the price and said "it's $299.00!!! What crazy person would buy markers for that amount?"
I said: "ummmm, me!"
He then said: "but you have a lot of markers, what are you going to do with the ones you already have?"
I said "nothing, I'm going to keep them and still use them".
He said "so why do you need these markers? Explain to me why they are THAT good." Seeeesh, he acted like I asked for a car.
So, I explained to him the typical benefits (interchangeable nibs, excellent color results, refillable, airbrushing, etc.) Furthermore, I explained that Copic Markers are actually not "craft or rubber stamping markers". They're markers primarily used for illustration - many use them to draw amine (Japanese Cartoon), magna (Japanese comic books) and other illustrations such as car design or fashion sketches. I told him that I can use them to draw as well and share the markers with the kids. The kids will definitely love to play with them - they love drawing amine characters.
If I add the kids to the mix, I know he'll get the markers for me.
That's it. . .I didn't ask for anything else for Christmas.
Now it's your turn. . .comment on the 3 items that you asked to receive for Christmas. Name your top 3 high ticket items. Don't be modest. . .wish for BIG things and you may receive it! Santa may be nice to you this year!! You have until 12:00 midnight to submit your comment!
Good luck on the blog candy everyone!

Due to just buying our first home together money is a little tight but I have asked santa nicely for these 3 items.
1 Derwent watercolour pencils tin set of 36 roughly uk price £40.00
2. Ipod as my craft room has not enough plug sockets to plug in my music centre and thats a very important part of my crafting ( or a chepaer version i dont mind)
3. paper stacks...I never have enough pretty backing papers.
in monetrary terms not very expensive but for someone on very tight budgets these are elaborate and to be honest if i dont receive any of these but have a good husband a healthy xmas then thats all that matters.
A great challenge and I have enjoyed participating.
I hope you get your Copic markers! Did you see that Gina K is doing some Copic marker clubs to spread the price out over six months? (check here: http://blog.ginakdesigns.com/).
I didn't ask for much for Christmas as I'm a SAHM and we only have one income, so we have to be wise with the money! My wish list for Christmas is as follows:
1. cash for shopping for clothes (I'd just like to get out alone and go shopping!)
2. crop-a-dile
3. shelving/storage for my craft room (this one is really a wish - too expensive right now!)
On the Copic you might want to check GinaK's site. She is doing a Copic markers club for 6 months and it's around 25.00 a month. This way it will SLOWLY come out of the budget and DH won't even notice. (tee hee)
1. Money so I can't go shopping and buy clothes, shoes, and all that girlie stuff
2. SU Stuff
3. Replace some of containers in my stampin space. I have the cheap ones and the drawers doesn't close all the way...cuz of the weight.
Thanks so much for this fun party that you were so KIND to host.
I didnt ask for anything..but if I had I would have asked for
1.Punches
2.Silent Setter
3.Brads
I hope everyone gets what they are asking for!
Just asked for a cuttlebug, and my husband already got it and gave it to me!!! He's such a dear!
OH YUMMY ~ LOVE chocolate ribbon, and I don't have any of that satin!!
I like your little story...I think my hubby would freak if I ever asked for them! ;0)
My top 3?
*Hanna stamps...All of them!!
*Lizzie Anne - Floral Frenzie
*Gift Card for The Olive Garden...so hubby and I can go out for a date!!
Hope you get your Copic's!! :0)

Oh, if only Santa reads your blog! Ok, you said dream big right...
1. Cuttlebug
2. Cricut...I am a scrapbook consultant and most of my customers have one, but I don't. I guess I can borrow their's...;)
3. Draw my name for a contest I am in for a Harley Davidson and 7 day trip to Hawaii ($10,000) prize. It is a radio contest and there are only about 300-400 names I am guessing. Wouldn't that be awesome under the tree!!!

Gosh that's easy -
1. Hanna Stamps
2. Penny Black Stamps
3. gift certificates to anyplace that sells stamps!
Hope You get your Copics!
Hi Maria!
Usually my husband just gives me money for Christmas. However if I had to ask for three things, I would put these items on my list.
1. leather jacket
2. purse
3. stamps
malieta:)
Ok you say think big did you... :) If I would really ask Santa and know that the price is not important and that it does not need to cost a thing I would ask :
1. I want to want another baby (sounds crazy but my husband is ready and I wanted more then one but now I'm scared, since Santa can give about anything I'm loosing nothing by asking righ?)
2. A relex digital camera...
3. A cuttlebug and some folders to go with it...
I bet the only one I can really dream about getting for real for Christmas is the third one and maybe the first one if I still beleive in miracle!
I got my presents already...
1. Got my Copics as an early Christmas present 2 months ago...
2. Got my ipod 3-4 weeks ago...
3. Got a Kodak printer couple of weeks ago...
We won't be home for Christmas so we started shopping early. :o)
Hey there...I want a Cuttlebug (I have been using a rolling pin...yeesh!), nestabilities and a good set of markers (although I am not up to Copics!). Cheers!
Santa and I are not on speaking terms much anymore-not since he brought me a padded toilet seat one year.
I would ask him to put his family first and come home on time and stay off the conference calls except during normal hours, but I know it isnt gonna happen. I am tired of eating alone-is Johnny Depp available?
I asked for a TV cart to put my little tv on for my craft room
A new cordless mouse for my computer.
and my wedding ring fixed.:) I broke a prong and need a new setting.
Nothing too exciting but everything that I need
I didn't ask for a lot this year either... actually I told my hubby that we shouldn't exchange gifts this year...just for the kiddos...then I recanted...I want a 50mm lens for my Canon Rebel SO BAD! So my new rule was okay, less than a hundred on each other. Thanks for the chance to win such cool goodies.

Hope Santa brings you your copic markers:) I guess my wish list would include:
1) 3 sets of Papertrey stamps.
2) 3 Magnolia Stamps
3) 3 Cricut cassettes
In actuality my list would really only include one of each item, but since you told me to wish big, I decided to get 3 of each:) That really WOULD make a very merry Christmas. Hey, I think I'll throw in 3 Nestability sets for good measure!
hmm... three things on my christmas wish list:
1. papertrey stamp sets: green thumb and snowflake seranade
2. scalloped punches
3. basic grey dp.
Here's my three items.
1. A Coach Bag - He's buying that with points from the Indian Casino near us called Mohegan Sun.
2. Prisma Premier pencils & some stamps & ATG glue gun
3. Portable DVD player
Thanks for making this such fun Maria, I really enjoyed it!
Mine are not all about stamping.
1. a housecleaner/maid service
2. a cat(I miss my pussycats)
3. SU markers
Wow, I hope you get your copics. That would be awesome for you. (bet you will get them!!)
I have lots of things I want
1. A bind it all.
2. An organized scrapbook/stamping room (I was too embarassed to take a photo to show you my mess so that is why I didn't take part in your challenge that day)
3. A Smart car. (that is that new little car that gets great fuel mileage and would fit in our new camper in the back. Very cute.)
Thanks Maria for this. I love, love, love your blog. I appreciate the time it takes to post the way you do.

Dear Santa,
I have been very good. Please bring me a cuttlebug, all of the embossing folders (not greedy, am I?), and the spellbinders nesting dies (again, all of them)
I hope you get your Copics - I would love a set, but I am not going to ask Santa this year.
The only thing I asked for was a Scor-Pal!
My DH makes sure I have all the goodies I need and want - he is pretty generous. He got really sick earlier this year - diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Scared the be-jesus out of me. I just want him to get healthy and stay that way for a long time.
Ok, I guess I asked for two things.
Happy Holidays!
I must have been naughty this year cause Santa hasn't asked me what I want. But if he were to ask I'd say a Cuttlebug, rubber stamps and ink pads.

I actually want the Cricut Expression (I have the regular Cricut). I would love to use some of the cool features on the Expression, and I would LOVE to be able to cut the items on Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More LARGER!
I also want the Cricut Cartridge Fabulous Finds.
I also want one surprise! I would love something absolutely and totally unexpected!
Love celebrating w/ you!!!
The only thing I really asked for was a bing-it-all and some coils to go w/ it...so that's a whoping two things I reaaaaaaally want.
Hope you get waht you asked Santa for!!!
~Lana B.~
Oooh this is a good one...sure made me think!
I would like.....nestabilities, scor-pal, and a cricut(just the older one)!!
Guess what I am getting???? A mixer, some DVD's and the scor-pal. Why am I getting the scor-pal you ask???? Because I told my husband that I was ordering it, and he better pay for it!! My hubby wouldn't pick out anything like that himself...even if I do tell him what I want every day!
Acutally, I haven't completed my list yet, oops!
On the top of my list is the Zutter Bind-It All. I'd like to get that automatic paper cutter machine (can you tell I don't remember what it is called?), and I would like Photo Shop. So I guess those are my 3 high priced items.
I've asked Santa for the following, but I know I'll probably get some PJ's or gloves that are too small instead!! :0
1. Any Bella stamp
2. Any Gina K stamp set
3. Any Papertrey Ink. stamp set
Thanks!
