no aq!! may frighten her
seriously tho, if you start off small and then add bits and pieces then it wont be too expensive.
you only really need some cards and card stock, glue or double sided tape, scissors, and a few bits like stickers or ribbon etc that you want to add to the cards and maybe a couple of stamps and ink.
as you continue you may wish to get some punches, a craft knife and self healing mat, more stamps, some embossing powder, a heat gun, glitter, an embossing tool and stencils and some more embelishments (stuff you use to decorate cards).
to take things further you may then get some craft chalk, a trimmer, some eyelets and eyelet hammer, a bone folder or one of the folding boards that dingle mentions- there's a few around, a light box for dry embossing, mre punches or even one of the die cutting machines like a sizzix ( anarak and jayzmummy).....
then, if you're like me, you see things you just have to have and add it to your collection
to keep costs down you could buy card and fold it yourself and also get unmounted stamps.
look around before purchasing as prices can vary alot.....
right have rambled on enuff, who says I'm addicted to crafting
