Okay, so why did I create this for all to see? Well, I could say that I kept writing down things I wanted on itty bitty pieces of paper. I’d think of something else to add to the list, and I’d be unable to find what I’d written so far. So I’d be forced to start over. The list would keep changing and I’d forget many crucial items. What could be more horrible? I mean this craft invites the use of so many things, it is impossible to ever complete a wish list much less memorize everything you want.
My next idea was to create a document in word processing to keep my list. This was fine until my hard drive crashed. Kerplunk! Obviously the only solution is to create webpage. There is no way in the world my precious list will be lost - unless of course, the dreaded Y2K finally does cause problems. For my 1st convention (9/99), I wrote my own wishlist. Could I find it when I sat down to create this page? Of course NOT! So here I am, starting fresh.
Now if you believe this line of reasoning, I’m pretty durn good. What I’m really hoping is that when it’s time for anyone to give me a gift for any reason at any time, they will remember to look at this list. Are you listening folks? Please, please, please, I beg of you.
Why on earth would I succumb to such a desperate plea? Read the Rules of Acquisition and you will understand.
These are not in any logical order. At some point, I will try to put these in order of priority, but for now it’s catch as catch can. Have you ever seen a wish list that provides you with links to requested items? How gracious (greedy or BOLD) can a person be? Here goes:

(Okay, who's going to buy me this? Noone, but I've got to
write it down so *I* don't forget when I'm finally able buy
it myself.) From what I understand this printer can handle cardstock
up to 150 lb. weight. It has waterproof ink great for watercoloring later
and scanned artwork (I'm told) looks just like the original when
printed.
