It's Finally Here!

I am now the proud owner of a brand new Sizzix machine! If you don't know what that is...it's a tool that makes scrapbooking much easier! It helps you cut out letters, numbers, shapes, etc. If you'd like to see one, I've provided a link below.

I've been wanting a Sizzix for almost a year now, but they're like $150 + just for the machine. The Alphabets are $100+...then you have to buy all the die cuts separately. (Scrapbooking is NOT a cheap hobby!) I felt bad about spending this much money on something I'm going to be the only one to use, when the money could go towards a new TV & entertainment center that my husband & I could both enjoy.

But, after learning that the Sizzix website has "special offers" every Tuesday, my husband suggested that I log on & see what I could find. Of course, I took his suggestion to heart, logged on & found a package deal that included the Sizzix, the Sizzix converter & several cool die-cuts for the low price of $85! It was an offer I couldn't pass up...and my husband agreed! I placed my order & 10 days later...my beautiful new Sizzix was delivered to my house.

I'll be asking for the Alphabets for Christmas!

Now...if I can only get my husband to buy me a Dyson vacuum cleaner...
