Stamps mainly.. I just don't use them that much. But my biggest regret is the Pink Chatterbox leather suitcase. Remember that? They came mostly in brown in different sizes, but the store owners got a pink set to sell. I HAD to have that pink suitcase thing. It was over $100 I think. I never did use it much. I did use it to store stuff in, now it's in the back of my closet. I can't decorate with it (DH isn't fond of pink..lol)... so until I get my own office I guess it just sits in the closet. I do love it though.. it is totally cute. But really? lol You got the pink one?!? I so wanted this set My friend won the brown set in a raffle and it gathers dust on an upper shelf but I don't think she will ever get rid of it! It is interesting reading everyone's replies. For those of us who have been enjoying this hobby for so long (19 years for me!) there are bound to be some regrets, especially when many of us were in the "collector" phase of 2000-2005. Remember those heady days? Pre-recession, LSSs in abundance, magazines galore promoting new products... ahhhhh...

I'm just not that into colouring. I don't like the adult colouring books either I do like adult coloring books, BUT I don't make an effort for the pages to be beautiful. I mainly use Sharpie ultra fine markers. It's something to keep my hands busy. Some pages, I take out a marker without looking, and color a random spot on a page. I've also avoided stamps and coloring images. I rarely use the stamps I own now.

I have been seriously scrapbooking for 20 years. I am so much more reasonable now, although I have an unbelievable weakness for paper. 2 feet of paper is literally nothing. I can't regret any of my paper. However, I pretty much regret every embellishment I ever bought, particularly the stickers. I really love looking at them, but I don't use them in my layouts. I have some flowers, but a reasonable amount. I have quite a few buttons, and quite a bit of chipboard. And so many letters! Just so many.
At one point I was super organized, but now with teenagers and work I just don't have the time anymore. Makes me sad to even say that. I don't think I can ever give away my paper though!

I think the biggest would be the Silhouette Cameo rolling tote. I think I paid about $40 so it wasn't a big big ticket item. But since I don't go to crops much and don't do many 12x12 pages, I don't need to haul my Cameo out of my craft room. So it hasn't gotten much use in the last couple of years. But it's pretty!

I do love it though.. it is totally cute. But really? lol I too loved those Chatterbox suitcases. They were 150.00 if I remember right, so I could never justify buying one. My lss was having their garage sale and I happened to be one of the first people in the door the morning it opened. The owner of the store was mad at Chatterbox for some reason, and marked the last one they had down to $10. I snapped it up and was sooo happy. Well the thing really did not have much space in it so I did not use it very much. One morning as I was packing to go to a crop, I opened it up and put it on the floor. I left it there for a few minutes and when I came back one of my newly adopted rescue cats had peed in it! I tried everything to get the smell out, but recently I tossed it, because I realized I would never get the smell out. It made me very sad to do it, but I kept telling myself I only paid 10.00 for it.

gypsy. I didn't buy it but my dad did for my mom. hard to use and see how shapes will end up. I thought it was a great idea. have alot of carts. but honestly I lost the cord to hook up to my cricult machine and now they don't see the cord anymore and it is super hard to find. If I could find one I am sure I would use it instead of it collecting dust.

All of the Hero/Lawn Fawn acrylic stamp sets I had to have and never used. So many Distress Ink pads. All of the rub-ons that are now flaked away into oblivion on their backing sheets. The Making Memories paint! Everything I purchased because I saw it in a magazine instead of buying it to fit my style.

The Cutter Bee Curvy Cutters, oval and circle plus the glass mat. The largest circle or oval was about 8 inches. Just used it a couple of times then bought a Cricut Expression.

My love/hate Cricut Explore. I bought it because I was told there would be offline software in the future. Find out recently that will never happen. I feel duped and so friggin mad. Love this thread because I decided tonight that Explore is going in my year box to get rid of then I run across this thread. I don't like online hassles, lol. UTEE. I don't want made me purchase this stuff. I never had the melting pot. It was in my beginner stamping days and I was just learning. It peeves me everything has that amber glow to it. I am good at not over melting when I have used it. I told my DH the other day I need to stick with resin because the only thing I would use UTEE for is to make prehistoric fossil charm clones.

oohhh, the Melting Pot! I *NEEDED* to have that thing so bad... and I don't think I ever even took it out of the clamshell plastic! I think I might have sold it at a garage sale? ...either that, or I just donated it to Goodwill.

All of my cricut stuff...I started with the bug then upgraded to the expression. I bought that Sir Cuts Alot software so I can use any font back before that lawsuit. Plus I had the gypsy and cartridges. I used it, but not enough to warrant all that. I was relieved when the bug and gypsy broke just so I'd have an excuse to just dump them. I still have the expression and cartridges in my room which I need to give away or something.

I have that on the "haven't used it YET list" which is different than the "regret" list!

This is a fun thread! So far, my Brother Scan & Cut2 that I got in September. I've used it once. I keep thinking I'm going to make the time to mess with it. A lot of the stuff I bought when I came back to the hobby via Project Life in 2013 ended up not being a good fit. I'm still figuring out that there's plenty of stuff I love but just won't use (Dear Lizzy and October Afternoon come to mind). I get distracted by pretty papers and then need all the things! When I did my last purge I got rid of a lot of cards from Gossamer Blue PL kits I subbed to for a while. I too have a bunch of stamps gathering dust...but I'm mostly fine that what I like is evolving. I feel like all part of the process.

Most of the Creative Memories stuff (not their tools though, they made quality tools)
A lot of the BH PL cards (too many duplicates and numerous cards that say Hello).

;also not a BIG expense, but I do remember when the whole Prima flowers craze was going on, I went for the 'budget' option-- I bought a bunch of different fake flowers bunches from the craft store and dismantled them to only save the flowers themselves. I then sorted them by color, stored them in zipper bags, etc. and displayed them in a glass jar on one of my shelves-- and then NEVER used ANY of them. I finally just threw then away. LOL! I did the same thing but had used some of them. I got rid of the rest when I re-organized my craft room.

The owner even put it on 'layaway' for me.. so I made about 3 payments on it. Now that I am talking about it, I should see if I can find a spot for it... lol

Cricut Expression and cartridges. I love tech stuff had the best intentions but it was just a hassle to use it. If I didn't use it often enough I'd forget how and have to get the instructions out again. It's just so much easier to run a die through my Big Shot. I ended up giving the Cricut machine and carts to a friend who'd use it. Lesson learned--only easy to use items for me. A hobby should be relaxing and uncomplicated. Isn't that the truth!
