Think about it Thursday

If you were stranded on a
desert island


had all the paper, ink, and stamps
 you would ever need
but could only have 5 other
tools or embellishments
with you what would you choose?
I would pick
1. Fikar paper trimmer
2. Teflon bone folder
3. Sizzix big shot
4. all my dies
5. ribbon
