Still No Camera

Welcome to KMC.  I still can't figure how to use and download picture from my husband's camera; therefore, no picture today.  However, I have something to share with you.  My Spellbinder Grand Calibur has arrived.  UPS dropped it off yesterday.  I am very excited can wait to get more dies but I have to wait till the first of the month since I exhausted my bi-weekly allowance.  Hehehe.  Once I figure out my husband's camera I will post more projects and pictures.

New Project but No Camera

Hi Everyone.  Welcome to KMC!  My son's kindergarten promotion is around the corner.  Today, I made some treat bags for him and his classmates for their accomplishments.  I can only make 12 treat bags because I'm out of poster board!  Boohoo :(.   I still need make 12 more.  When I was about to take picture of the treat bags, I remember that I let me sister use my camera for a month and I don't know how to use my husband's camera.  Once I figure out how to use my husband's camera, I will post the picture of the treat bags.  Hopefully by tomorrow morning there will be some pictures.  In the meantime, I will try to create more projects for you.

By the way, I did order the Spellbinder Grand Calibur from Oh My Craft.  I think it is too good to pass.  Can't wait for the Grand Calibur to arrive so I can make more new projects.

Spellbinder Grand Calibur

Hi All!  How's everyone doing this morning?  My gosh, I did not have anything post for a long long time.  Sorry.  I have been busy.  My final was last Monday (5/16/11), need to get ready for it.  Plus, my daughter was sick.  Yes, AGAIN!

Back to the crafting world.  I have been eyeing on the Spellbinder Grand Calibur for a long time since the day it cames out on the market because it can emboss up to 8" wide (or bigger) that I love.  However, it was a little pricey to convince myself to get one.  This morning, I found out that Oh My Craft have it on sale for $99.99 plus I can use a discount code that they send to me daily.  The final price is $85.99 (free shipping if over $50.00 in the USA) which I think it is not bad for the capability it has.  Many websites are selling it for $129.99.  I did saw one at my local craft store on Elk-Grove Florin selling if for $129.99 plus tax.

Here is my problem.  My husband and I are on a budge.  We have an allowance of $100 each person on on personal expense every two weeks.  If I get the Spellbinder Grand Calibur, I only left with & $14.99.  I am very torn and I need your help.  Please give me some comment on whether or not I should get this machine.  Also, I don't really know how great the machine really works beside watching video on You Tube.  If you have one, please also let me know what your thoughts on it such as what you like and doesn't like about it.


Oh, I forgot to mention the sale will be over in 3 days! 

By the way Terri (I'm her follower & she is my follower as well), I got the Xyron 500 at Joann for $17.50 with 50% off coupon.  You inspire me to get one.  Can wait for play with it!
