Craft room Christmas

Will start with what Santa brought me..... YAY   DH asked me what I wanted this year and he knew I would say something for the craft room so he said he thought he better let me tell him what I wanted and where he could get it from.....  In October my PIC (stamping Partner In Crime) and I sold craft room items at the Customer Yard Sale that Enchanted Cottage in Lewisville holds each year. After that sale I had enough money to buy some pricey items for my craft room -- I decided on the new Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine to replace my present Big Shot machine. The machine I was using I had bought new but from day 1 I had issues with the handle working itself loose with use and coming off in my hand. Since this was normal for this machine I always made sure I had the Allen wrench that comes with the machine nearby..... the new Sizzix Big Shot machines have a handle that clicks into place and you do not have to tighten it down so I wanted to buy the new machine with my sale monies...... the new machine also had some new features that I liked as well. I had also seen crafters on YouTube raving about their new Glassboard Magnetic craft mats but the machine came first.....

With DH asking what I wanted I thought I would mention the Glassboard Magnetic Craft mat and I told him I found a 20% coupon and I would split the cost with him - he said to order it but that he would pay for the whole thing..... no fight here..... haha....  I picked out the mat I wanted in the size I wanted to replace my older black Altenew craft mat that has seen better days but it is now on the counter by the ink pads for use over there..... Here is the 18" x 24" Glassboard Magnetic Mat he bought:

Fresh out of the box and I bought a set of pink magnets to go with it for the pink flowers on it. I love the change from my black mat to the white one and you can easily see all the ruler markings and the lines on the grid as well.

I have used this mat for two days and am in love.... got a Sharpie marker mark on it and that wiped right off with rubbing alcohol..... got liquid glue and that wiped right off with a baby wipe and micro towel... this mat is great and I am sooooo happy to have one finally so a BIG thank you to DH for gifting me my new craft mat!!

Now to what my PIC (stamping Partner In Crime) gifted me for my craft room --- 

Cute candies that are stacked into a Christmas Tree treat! A box with approx 20 rolls of Spellbinders Hot Foil:

Pens and markers and washi tapes:

Spellbinder Hot Foil alphabet plate with matching die set:

Two pads of smooth card stock that will foil well:

Altenew 3D embossing folder - which I have already used:

Not shown is a mini red tool box she gifted me and I plan on using that for tools for beads and such so that will be on that counter... Also a food gift card -- yum -- and a Brrrr Basket with blanket, sox, hot cocoa with a mug, hand cream, etc. I had never seen these before so cute idea:
