  8. I love my making memories tool box (with eyelet setter, piercing tool,etc.) that I purchase a long time ago (before crop-a-dile). I still like to use it once in a while instead of crop-a-dile to let out my stress. :-)

    Other than that, I love all the selection of adhesives at Ben Franklin. I am constantly buying adhesives, it seems.

    Thanks for a chance to win a yummy candy. I will post the blog contest on my blog as soon as I am done writing here.

  9. Aloha and thank you for giving a chance at this prize! I'd have to say that my favorite and most useful tool that i've gotten from BF is my spellbinders because i am ablr to use it in so many ways and for so many things! I am able to make little favor boxes by folding it in half, gift card holders, tags both big and small. The things that i make and use them for is endless!
    Thanks again for the chance at this wonderfully sweet prize!

  10. The best crafting tool I bought from Ben Franklin is the Sizzix Big Shot. I love the fact that you can purchase other company's dies and use it with the Big Shot. Also, I love the way you can do dry embossing with the Big Shot.

  26. I love my paper trimmer. I know, its a basic tool, but I use it in so many more ways than for scrapping. I'd be lost without it!

  28. OMG, there are so many, but the winner is my Big Shot. My granddaughter is known as the girl with the grandma who makes alot of neat treat bags for her teachers and classmates. It dresses my scrapbook pages, cards, and various papercrafts, to fabric embellishments, home decorating, gift giving, it is just too much to list. It's just plain fun to make projects with my granddaughter and the look of joy on her face when I ask her to join me.

  29. Hi,
    I think my most useful tool for crafting is the Xyron 150. I am able to use it to put adhesive on ribbon (up to 4 at once) along with adding adhesive to diecuts either on bottom or on top and bottom which opens my ability for adding glitter, flock and such to items.

  30. My favorite thing(s) is the Craft Jewelry tools. The curved edges of the round-nosed pliers make forming loops and curves a pleasure. The heavy-duty cutting tool is great for cutting through hard wires and the long needle nosed pliers is terrific for picking, placing and holding objects. Whatever craft I'm doing, there's something I can use these tools with.

    So many things. I love to wander through the store. I am so grateful for the different paper that Ben Franklin has - all the sizes, weights, colors - anything I need for crafts, cards or table decorations. Love the bundles of patterned paper. Can't wait for my 40% coupon to come in the mail.

  32. My recent favorite craft items are all the various organizers at BF. The Iris drawers for my cardstock and card keepers help keep everything in its place.
    Thanks for sharing all the great ideas on your blog!

  38. My favorite tool has to be the most basic one...my hot glue gun. I don't know what I did before I owned my first one (I must have half a dozen now). I used to get so frustrated waiting for glue to dry. A glue gun gives me instant results!

  39. We just moved and my things are still in boxes, so I don't know the name of the tool, but my favorite tool is the spiral binding machine. I've had fun making our own spiral bound books!

  40. The tool I use the most is probably my fiscars paper cutter. I use it everyday and always have lots of replacement blades!

  41. My fav tool in the world is a metal tipped stylus!! It is too useful for too many things! I use it for every project, making crease lines, making little holes, tracing/transferring, the wood handle as a 'bone folder', etc... great tool for beginner crafters who want it all in one
