New Order of Things... and a Question??

Oh look, 2 posts in one day! Awesome :)
Yvette and I both put in a 2 peas order last week, hers arrived Weds and mine arrived on Thurs, only a week after submitting it! {Happy Dance!} 2 peas is much much much cheaper than buying at the local store. Sorry I'm not buying Aussie, but when the price is almost double, I can't refuse it! 2 Peas were having a sale, plus gave an extra discount so I got a whole bag of new supplies that I am super super excited about using! Sorry the pics aren't the best, I was rushing cos I was eager to play with the new stuff! Mind you, I haven't yet, I've sifted through it, drooled over it and layed it all out on the dining table. But I've done a page since it arrived and I'm too busy trying to use up old stuff to even touch this new stuff! Do you ever do that? Buy new stuff then not use it cos it's too good? LOL! What a terrible mentality.
Anywho, new stuff got Yvette and I into a conversation about what our top 5 products are. Then I was thinking about what my top 5 probably would have been 10yrs ago when I started seriously scrappin (was it 10 years ago?! OMG! What was I, like 12? Dream on. I was 18. Man that time has flown.) So I'm thinking these days my top 5 are:
1. PP
2. Journalling Spots
3. Thickers
4. Rub ons
5. Lace Paper (mostly cos I'm trying to use up my massive stash of this!)

and 10 years ago my top 5 would have been:
1. Coloured Cardstock
2. Stickers
3. Punches
4. Computer Journalling
5. PP

Isn't it funny to think back on how your style has changed over the last few years! LOL! Wanna see a really embarrassing early page of mine? This is from 2003 about a trip to Cradle Mountain. See 4 my top 5? Coloured cardstock (not even a nice colour!!), Punched snowflake, computer journalling and strips of PP. How embarrassing. Hey, see those 2 snowflake square medallions on bottom right. Did you see one on my recent page of the Grand Canyon!! LOL! I knew they were OLD!!
So what are your top 5? And what were they when you started scrappin?
