Need a little help... Please

Ok guys, I need some help/advice.
I have a lady calling tomorrow morning, from a government company that may be able to help me open my business. And she will be asking what supplies I will need.
I am planning on making homemade cards, wall deco (vinyl art) etched glassware/picture frames... etc.
I have a cricut create, and I have my gypsy, and my rotary tool. What other machines/tools would you all suggest I would need??
I am thinking,
I know I will need tons of card stock and vinyl, and adhesive, and patterned paper and stamps. The tools I am thinking I will need are:

A yourstory for making guest books, etc.
A cuttlebug to embellish my cards more
A bind it all for mini albums
Etch armour for the etching
More Cartridges for the cricut ( I only have 3)
Later I want to get a bigger cricut, right now I am limited to 6" x 12"
I want the i-rock and i-top and i-bond too, but I figure those will come later as well.

So what tool can you not live without for making your everyday crafts??

Good Evening,

I think you just about got everything, but do you use stamps, markers, pens, hot glue guns, etc...embossing powder?

if you get the large your story, you can make 4 x 6 up to 12 x 12 albums. I get mine by the case from mybinding.com for the albums. I purchase the ones called unibind hardback photo albums. They have the glue strips inside the spine. They have many different colors.

3mm all the way up to 9 or 10mm

I use more of the 3mm, 5mm and 7mm hardbacks. These are better than Yourstory brand albums and in more colors. The large one has a laminator on but I never use that.

Some great places to sign up for email for good prices on other supplies are cricutmachine.com, ohmycrafts.com, hsn.com scrapbookpal.com.

Good luck and if I can help let me know. Oh I have the 510 and 900 Xryon machine. I love, love it.

Scotch atg 714 glue gun with 1/4 double side tape reels work great on ribbon and other materials.
