    What would it be?  Okay this scenario is ridiculous.  But really, I meant to ask...

     What's your favorite DIY tool you own?

     Mine, of course... Gocco.  I do really really also love my Xyron 510 sticker maker. Sort of a "distant second" if you will.

    I mean, if we're going for survival here...I would go with my exacto knife.  But if we're talking the 'desert island' of all the other craft materials around me are sub par except for this one thing I happen to have on me...I guess I would go with my Creative Memories Circle cutters.  By far the best of the best out there.

    I'm sure if I had a Gocco I would be in love with it too!  However, my (current) favorite are these embroidery scissors that are curved which are GREAT for cutting out circles and curved stuff! I'm in love with them!

    Haha you guys took that pretty literally.  I dunno what I would actually do with a Gocco on a desert island :)

    I'm with Avacado--my laptop! I'm a design freak! I start everything there. The execution of that design could be anywhere, but it all starts with the computer! If you could take ONE DIY tool to you to a desert island... :  wedding diy crafts cricut Icon Biggrin

    I don't have a gocco, but if I did, I would choose it.  I've been so close to buying one, but I have very little I could use it for (at the moment).

     

      If I had to choose one of the tools I have now it would be colored floral spray.  I saved so much buying white mini calla lilies and hand spraying them pink.

    I'm a huge scrapper so my Fi got me a cricut as a surprise just because we saw the infomercial the previous weekend and I fell in love!  So I think it would have to be my cricut and 2nd would be my paper cutter!

    to be perfectly honest?  Probably knitting kneedles!  It's necessarily always my favorite craft, but it's something I do for a really long time on a deserted island.
