Freebie Friday – Gallery Idol Top 15!

I really love my coffee mashine. With a cup of hot and fresh coffee every morning is a little pleasure.

It has to be my coffee pot, as most days would not begin without it. A second runner up is my waffle maker. Yum! I’m getting hungry

I love my Dulit Toaster perfect toast every time, I also love all the color combinations and the retro look!

I don’t have a favorite household item unless you count my family as one (or 3)

My dishwasher. I LOVE IT.

I love my rice cooker. It helps me a lot ^^
Thanks!

congrats to the finalists! my fav household item is my dryer! cos it means i don’t have to hang up washing.

congrats to the top 15 – beautiful cards ladies!
My favourite item would be my kettle. No hot water = no coffee = one unhappy mumma = one unhappy household

From the amount of use it gets, you would think that my clothes washer is my most cherished household item, however, I love my cobalt blue Kitchen Aide mixer. It’s so very pretty and great to mix icing!!

I would have to say it is my washing machine – if I had to wash by hand or go to the laundry mat I would have less play time at home!
by the way – those cards are lovely – Congratulations all!
Sandra

Congrats to all the finalists!!! Can’t wait to see what you girls create next!

My most cherished household item is my strawberry cookie jar. It was my mom’s, so every time I look at it, it takes me back to childhood and my mom’s freshly baked cookies…mmm!!!!

I would think that for most of us, our cherished item would be something handed down from family members. I have a drop leaf table from 1850 that has been handed down through 4 generations and it will be passed on to my daughter. I wish I could have been that “fly on the wall” to have heard all the conversations around that table.

My refrigerator… try living w/o one for awhile and you’ll see what I mean. I completely take it for granted.
Happy crafting!

I’m going to have to go with my dishwasher. I’d never had one until a few months ago & now I don’t know how I’d live without it.

Congratulations to all the winners. Your works are all beautiful. My most beloved household item is my KitchenAid mixer. I host many people often and make at least one cake for church once a week, so this machine allow me do all these fun things efficiently.

I love the Cosmo Cricket line and would LOVE to get my hands on some! Gotta go with the coffee maker here, too-can’t do much without that first cup in the morning. With fat-free franch vanilla creamer, of course!

Congrats to the Top 15! Gorgeous cards!

Let’s see my favorite household item without a doubt is my Keuring Coffee Maker. I LOVE that I can make one cup at a time and I like to play around with all of the different flavors they have available. YUM!

Thanks for the chance, I LOVE Cosmo Cricket! My most used item is my coffee pot, but I cherish the big red bowl we got as a wedding gift. It is my fave piece to put out when we have guests!

Thanks for sharing those wonderful cards! No doubt about it – the first place I go every morning – has to be my coffee maker.

Have a great weekend!

My fave household item is my computer (does that count? lol) I’d be lost without it!! Love all the wedding cards, can’t wait for Monday!

My Pampered Chef stoneware. I use it all the time making things for my grandkids. My second favorite is my Dyson sweeper. Just love it!

My favorite HH item is my narrow plyable (is it vinyl?) spatula–I reach for it EVERY time I need one. {I also agree with Amy V.–I could NOT get through the day without my computer!}

I love how your stretching out the Go-To Girls’ introductions–so suspenseful! Yay, Kim…and yay, us!

My most cherished household item is my Elephants. I have soooo many that I’ve collected since I was 10years of age. and now that my children moved out of the home. I can put my most cherished elephants on display(Elly) is my favorite.

Wow, this is hard! I would have to say my wall of crosses. They are each so different, but look so beautiful together and remind me of my family’s purpose.

My fave hh item is definitely my Dyson! We recently adopted a dog and gosh it works wonders with her pet hair!!

Fabulous stuff! My favorite household item has got to be my Victorian Epicure spices, they make everything taste yummy and make me look like a cook! Now that is a good thing!

Love my computer, because if I didn’t have that, then I wouldn’t have my love of papercrafting and all the great eye candy to get inspiration from!! Great job ladies!!

Congrats to the Top 15!

My favorite household item is my DH! He does it all: cooks, cleans, irons, sews, bakes, grocery shops, not to mention my own personal handyman … and he’s a good kisser too!!

The perfect all-in-one household tool!

Not very sexy but I love my potato masher that I’ve since college – some 20 years ago. My other half won’t use it and insists on using a shiny new chrome one – but me and my masher won’t be parted.

My favorite household item is my cappuccino/ coffee/ espresso maker. I can’t live without coffee.
I love the Early Bird collection, it’s my fav!!! I still don’t have this crafting kit though.

Ohhh that’s a toughie – there’s a few things in my kitchen that would have to be pried from my cold dead fingers (my toaster, my espresso machine, my Kitchen Aid blender)……but I guess my #1 is my Kitchen Aid mixer – one of the few machines out there that has stodd the test of ME!! I break everything in short order but my mixer has stayed faithful and in one piece LOL!!

Great top 15, congrats!
Okay, my favourite household item is definitely my coffee maker! Can’t go without coffee!

I’m so happy that my favorite card (and their designer) made it to round 2 My go-to appliance is my Kitchenaid stand mixer. I can make almost anything with this powerful baby! Mine is cobalt blue and it sits on my counter and makes me smile! Thanks for the chance to win this cute set.

Congratulations ladies! I loved all of your cards!

My favorite household item is my “gadget” drawer! I have have all kinds of cool kitchen gadgets in this drawer. Many of my friends and family laugh, but I always have a tool they can use!!

Congrats to the finalists!

i love my new laptop!!!!

I’m loving this Gallery Idol contest. Congrats to the top 15. Can’t wait to see what they do with this next challenge. The Early Bird Ready Set Chip set is too cute. Thanks for the chance to win it.

my favorite things are a crocheted afghan made by a friend, and a framed Christmas tree made out of jewelry made by my grandmother.

My favorite thing to use around the house though is my computer.

oh- fabulous cards! my favorite household item would be my kitchenaid mixer, I love to bake and it really takes the hard work out of mixing!

Congratulations to the 15!!!! LOVE all the great cards and art! And, it’ so fun to see some of my friends up there! Yippeeee!!!

OK.. My favorite kitchen item? Let’s just say.. if my coffee grinder died, I would be toast…

I LOVE the next challenge and that Cosmo Cricket Line!!!!!!!!
Awesome awesome week coming up

My favorite household item right now is our Vita-mix blender. The kids are loving the fruit smoothies! Not a necessity, but we just love this thing!

My fav household item is my Kitchenaid mixer! It’s the most useful thing & it’s so pretty in Majestic Yellow. *swoon*

What gorgeous cards from the top 15! I have to make a wedding card later this month, and I’ll be back to look for inspiration!

My favorite household item is my vacuum – an easy appliance that can make any room look cleaner with minimal effort! I hate dirty floors, but can ignore the dust on the other furniture if they are clean

My Kitchen Aid stand mixer. It was a gift from my mom when I got married

Wow! Wonderful cards! Hmmm…most cherished household item? I’m going to have to go with a couple of other people and say my computer. Kinda sad but makes sense on the other hand. )

It is a three way tie. The washing machine, the bathtub, and the vacuum cleaner. These three things keep my house and my girls clean!

mien would have to be the tv. i am such a couch potato.

I have my grandmother’s potato ricer. My grandkids LOVE putting in a whole baked potato and watching it “squish” out of all those tiny holes !!

My most cherished household appliance after the basics (fridge, stove, microwave, washer & dryer) has to be my blender–and no we hardly ever use it for smoothies.

By the way the wedding cards are gorgeous! Congrats to all the idols.

Congrats to the finalists–awesome cards.
My most cherished household item would have to be my dishwasher–don’t know how I made it without one.

My most treasured household item is probably my 100 yr. old antique piano. My parents bought it when I was born and my family moved around a lot so I never had one house that I can remember back to call my “home”. But this piano was always there so it is my “home” I guess. Now I just need to get it restrung so I can actually play it!!

Congrats to all the winners!!!

Congrats to all the deserving winners! I think my most cherished household item would have to be a Wolfgang Puck stainless steel frying pan. It lets my husband make great meals that go from stovetop to oven, something we couldn’t do with our plastic-handled pans before.

Beautiful cards. Congrats to the top 15! Can’t wait to see with they come up with next week. My most cherished household item is probably my dishwasher! It gets the most use anyway!

Hello… Label maker!
Nuff said!

D

Congrats to the top 15!! GREAT JOB!!

My all time favorite thing is my Kitchen Aid mixer. Love it for everything.

Cindee

Those wedding cards are so beautiful! My most treasured household item is my broom, I have hardwood floors!

Ooh, I love Cosmo Cricket! I’m not a household diva or anything, but I do have a favorite saucepan. Nothing sticks to it and it cleans up so easy. My husband found it at a Salvation Army or something, wish I could find some more like it!

I love my Pampered Chef mandolin slicer. It makes pretty slices of veggies and fruits.

I have several favorite household items, but I think the winner is my shiny red toaster. It’s so happy and bright…it makes my day brighter.

…fav household item, that would be my Starbucks Barista Espresso Machine. I’m on my third one in 16 years…I use it every day at least twice! Oh, it makes me happy!!!!!

I didn’t really have a mother growing up so when I received a really old cookbook from my mother-in-law three years after I married my husband, I was in tears!! Her great grandmother put it together from old recipes she and her family loved and it was passed down to her daughter who did the same and so on. That is by far my most cherished household item. I can’t wait to pass it down to my daughter (in about 20 years!).

Congratulations to the top 15 winners! Excellent cards!! Can’t wait to meet the new Go-To Gals next week!

Has to be my coffee pot…would be a mess without it!! Thanks for the chance to win some awesome goodies!!

Wow – such beautiful wedding cards! So inspiring Congrats to the Top 15.

My favorite household item is my Keurig coffee maker. I love that I can make one cup at a time and have the choice of many different flavors.

couldn’t survive without my dishwasher!

My favorite would have to be my teapot – I have to have my two cups of green tea every morning!

Congratulations top 15, beautiful work. I’ll look forward to your next cards.
I think my washing machine is my most cherished house hold item. I don’t mind doing the dishes by hand, I can hang my clothes on a clothes line, I can live without self baked cookies or toast but I haven’t got a clue about washing ALL our clothes by hand.
Eveline.

My most cherished household item is the “Jolly Chef” cookie jar that was my grandmother’s. My grandmother was a very special woman and a wonderful cook. She always had delicious home-baked cookies in that jar.

When I got married, my mother gave me the jar. I plan to pass it along to my daughter when the time is right.

Congrats to the Kims and to all the ladies who made it to the final fifteen. Those cards are fabulous.

Ohhhhh it’s hard to pick just one! LOL! I guess it’s a toss up between the dishwasher and the microwave!

Great cards! Congrats everyone! I can’t wait to see what y’all come up with next!

Congratulations to the top 15! I don’t have one favorite household item.
Most useful would be my cuisinart and blender. Thanks for a chance to win.

I love my dishwasher!!!!!Congratulations to the top 15!

My two most cherished household items would have to be the toaster ( I love my toast and bagels) and my freezer. ( I love frozen grapes in the summer) I know it sounds strange but you should try it, when you live in the desert like I do its a great treat.

Without a doubt – the coffee maker

(Thanks for the chance)

I like my oven. Really. Mainly because I like to bake, and I couldn’t do that without an oven! =)

Lots of beautiful cards!
Favorite household item would probably be the coffee maker (but I make tea with it).

Definitely couldn’t live without my dishwasher! I detest handwashing dishes!!!

Gorgeous wedding cards!!!

Congrats to the ladies!! My favorite household item is my kitchen Aid. I LOVE it!

My Roomba. Love that it vacuums without me and gets under the furniture where I rarely bother to bend and reach to

I love my coffee maker!

Awesome cards!

This is so easy….my favorite appliance, hands down is my dish washer! I hope I never have to live without one!

Thanks for the chance to win the awesome goodies!

Seems like I’m always using my mircowave! Thanks!

Favorite household item……let’s see….a toss up between my Kitchen Aid mixer and my Dutch oven – both gifts from my daughter.
~Shari R.

My favorite item is colorful Ikea sofa. I realy enjoy resting there.

The dishwasher! LOL

Gratz to the winners of Round 1!

My favorite household item is a huge, stainless steel, copper-bottomed pan. It was one of the first pans I had when I moved out over 15 years ago and I still love it. I is about 13″ diameter with good 4″ sides and I can cook anything in it. Then, I can scrub anything out of it. I love being able to use a copper scrubber and know my pan will stand up to it. I can bake cornbread in it, boil veggies or pasta, fry eggs, make my children’s favorite BBQ chicken in it… just about anything! If I only had one pan to use that would be the one )

Oh, wow…I want some of that Cosmo Cricket goodness!!!

My favorite (or most used) household item would have to be my cast iron skillets. I LOVE them!!!

Would household items include sewing machines? My sewing machine and serger would be 2 things I could not live without. They are never put away and are always being put to good use!

If you are talking kitchen…then it is my Kitchen Aid mixer that was a wedding shower present and I use it a couple of times a week!

It should be a great gallery next week!

Congrats to the top 15!!! Such fantastic cards! And my favorite household item is my kitchenaid mixer. Doesn’t that sound familiar, LOL! Seriously, I could not live without it!!

Is it wrong to say I love my vacuum? I have an iRobot Roomba robotic vacuum (we named him Deckard after Harrison Ford’s character in BladeRunner) that is programmed to vacuum the main floor of our house daily when we are not at home. With two cats, the vacuum deserves all the love!

My favorite household item would have to be my wok! It plugs into the wall and I make most of my meals in it! I love one dish meals!

This is a hard question. I guess I use my blender a lot to make smoothies. I can’t really think of anything else. Congrats to the finalists. And thanks for a chance to win.

I love my Kitchaid…I’ve just started to use it a lot more since I’ve had more time to bake!

I guess I would have to say the anniversary clock my dad brought my mom from when he was stationed in Germany shortly after they got married. Love the projects that won so far!!

oh – I totally forgot to say CONGRATS to the top 15! My favorites are in there – go ladies, go!

Oh, love this Cosmo Cricket stuff!!! My favorite household item is my griddler – it is so versatile and I love all the food that comes off it:)!!

It’s a toss-up between my iron (ironing is a great stress reliever!) and my KitchenAid mixer – purchased at a yard sale for a mere $25.

ALL of the cards are SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

My favorite household item would have to be my microwave. It would be hard to live without it.

My favorite household item is shabby china hutch I have! I LOVE it

Congratulations to the Top 15! Well deserved, ladies!!!

My most cherished household item – my bed and more specifically my mattress. It’s a “Sleep Number” bed so my husband can have his side soft and squishy (like he likes) and I can have mine firm and hard as a rock (like my back needs!) – or when I’m pregnant I can have it softer (like my hips need!). Love, love, love my bed!!

That is really hard to decide. I have to go with two. My Hutch which was the first piece of real furniture. It is kind of an updated hoosier, with a glass cabinet instead of a slide up cabinet. And the second would be my Kitchen Aid Mixer, the year i got it i gave my family 5×7 photos of me with my new “significant other”.

I think it is my dishwasher. I HATE washing dishes and this wonderful machine makes me happy!

I love my kitchen aid mixer too!

my favorite kitchen item is my vintage foos scale, love it!
Kisha

My favorite household item is the fan in my room. I can’t sleep without it’s sound lulling me to sleep.

Hmm. favorite? Kitchen-aide mixer makes me want to make cookies…
Also would be sad without the microwave, along with various other utilitarian appliances (fridge, washer/dryer, etc!)
I *adore* that cosmo cricket goodness- thanks for the chance to win!!

What wonderful cards and wonderful inspiration! My most cherished household item (other than the people that live in my house) would probably be my Nutrimill grain mill and my Bosch mixer (it’s a combo deal).

Have a beautiful day!

Wow! Congrats to the winners. Fabulous cards! What a fun give away. My fave household item is my Fiskars paper trimmer.

After ooohhhing and aaahhhing over the top 15 cards I had to struggle to recollect my favorite household item. Of course it did not take me more than 15 seconds to remember my shower because I love the water pressure, lighting, and size of it! only thing I don’t like is cleaning it every week.

Congrats to the top 15!!! I would have to say my fav household item is my COFFEEMAKER!!!! Simply can’t live without it!

My fave household items are..please don’t laugh at me…are 1) a one piece spatula, just like my Mom’s and 2) the hand mixer that my baby brother gave me..many moons ago…lots of sentimental value there..as you have to hold the cord *in* while you’re using the mixer or it falls out…Yummie give away!
and my CONGRATS to all the winners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite household item is a teaspoon. I do not remember how it came about but we it seems like we have it forever. It not special looking or what. Just an ordinary teaspoon. We have other teaspoon but I jsut have to use it when I have my tea for stiring or to have eat ice cream and this and that. I will actually feel disapponited on some occassions when I cannot find it or some else is using it when I want to use it. Funny. To think it just a taspoon. Ha!

Mine is definitely my Senseo – I use it to make the perfect cup of tea every morning!

most cherished household item…hmmmmmmm…does my 24-year-old microwave count??! i don’t know that i *cherish* it, as such, but certainly it has served my husband & i well for our entire marriage!!!

Wonderful cards ladies! Congratulations!
My favorite household item is our stove top oven. I love to cook and bake so that’s really one of my must haves in the house.

Congrats to the top 15, some wonderful cards!

My most cherished household item would have to be my fridge freezer – love the space, love having the ice maker…

I love my kitchen aid mini chopper I use it all the time.

Terrific top 15 projects!
My favorite household item is my super-capacity washing machine – means I’m doing far fewer loads.

Those are beautiful cards! I can’t wait to see the next round. My favorite household item has to be the dishwasher, because I do not like washing dishes by hand! Would love to have that Cosmo Cricket kit to see what other favorite household items I have!

Hmmmm… my favourite household items are my dishwasher… and my fridge. What would I do without them? Clean dishes and cool drinks and popsicles!

My favorite household items are my set of cast-iron cookware. I love them! I bake with them, I roast with them and occasionally fry with them! Best of all, they will last me for a lifetime

My most cherished household item is (of course) my Bunn Coffeemaker! We live in NM where coffee gets cold in minutes because of the high altitude. But, with this coffeemaker’s insulated steel pot, the coffee stays hot for hours. I MUST have my coffee EVERY SINGLE DAY! I love the Early Morning Cosmo Cricket line! I’ve stalked my LSS for new arrivals constantly. Thanks for offering this wonderful blog candy!

My grandmothers dining room table~ was passed down to me and I remember drinking sweet tea with her at that table while coloring my coloring books when I was a child~ now my family all sits down for family dinners together at this very same table…it’s PRICELESS!

Congrats to the talented wedding card TOP 15!
Beautiful Work!!

Blender! The best invention ever to make great smoothies and most importantly frapaccino-like drinks at home. I’ve gone part-time to be with my daughter and it seems that Starbucks trips were one of the first budget cuts we had to make.

My favorite household item are my blue bowls. I love everything that’s blue!

Hi Kelly!
My most cherished household item is my grandmother’s cast iron skillet, which I got when she passed away. What memories it holds!
Thanks

hmmm me has to be my little Wonder Washer & Dryer its a little mini washing machine that gets me out of loads of trouble I had bought it when my youngest DD was born as I like to wash newborn clothes sep. and by hand.. BUT WHO was I kidding w/my 2 sons running about and a newborn to wash by hand! NOOOOOOO WAY so I found that little machine its like washing by hand (since I can’t have a washing machine at home) and I would put her dirty clothes in the machine (can’t really put too much but newborn clothes are tiny) it would usually take 3 loads then put it into the Wonder dryer that actually is a SUPER squeezer and leaves the clothes waterless mostly and you put it out to dry and the next day your good.. Well that was 2 1/2 years and I STILL use that bad boy LOOOVE IT.. I now even use it for the boys as I’ll take what they wore that day (not jeans though wouldn’t be able to do it) and wash and hang and good to go it really helps when I have to go do the real washing outside LOVE that little machine! lol

Congrats to the TOP 15!

My favorite household item is my blender/food processor. It’s awesome for making smoothies, pesto, sauces, soups, etc.!! YUM!!

Big congrats to the Top 15! Way to go and can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your sleeves next . My most cherished kitchen item is my skillet set – medium, small and wok (which yes I know isn’t exactly a “skillet”). With this set, I’ve made breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks and they’ve been instrumental in my goal to eat healthier. I can cook things quickly and easily, so I can avoid all the prefrozen pizzas, pastas, etc. Yay for skillets! And crossing my fingers for a Happy CosmoCricket day for me .

Congrats to the Top 15 Idol cardmakers! Beautiful cards!!

My favorite household item is probably my computer, doh!! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway! Love that Cosmo Cricket Early Bird!

This is a no brainer…my Bosch Universal!! I love it and would NEVER give it up.

My bread machine. I’ve had it for years and years and I still enjoy the aroma of baking bread and that first slice – a warm heel of bread with butter. UMMMMM!

my fav household item is my dustbuster..sounds funny but that thing get rid of all my errant glitter.

I love my wet mop Swiffer. It instantly makes my house feel cleaner and like I accomplished something.

My favorite household item would be either the microwave or the fridge. I don’t know what I would do without either of them.

I would have to say my dh’s mantle clock…it belonged to his grandfather…it is a wonderful edition to our home.

I would have to say it’s my coffee pot! I just can’t seem to start my day without it!

It would have to be my red refrigerator which is a replica of a 1950’s refrigerator, but is really state of the art.

My microwave oven! A huge time-saver…:)

p.s most cherished household item….my bed!!

It has got to be my Chef’s Toolbox saute pan! We use it absolutely everyday and its perfect for cooking absolutely everything!! Cakes, pizzas, stirfrys, bacon and eggs, pancakes…you name it…the best investment ever.
