First of all I would like to share with you a card that I received a few days ago from Dottie who won my last blog -give-away. It is adorable! She even used the little Elzybell stamp that was a part of the blog candy. Thank you very much Dottie. Your card was an unexpected surprise. Every time I look at it I smile. :)
Today I received the Crop A Dile II that I ordered. If you have gotten it then perhaps you might share how you feel about this product. I really like it very much. I have bad shoulders so using a tool that I have to squeeze hurts me. Needless to say my original Crop A Dile is sitting in it's carrying case. The newer one sits on 2 feet and has a lever that I can use. It is much easier for me and as long as I do not use the lever repeatedly then I'm good to go. I also like that this tool has a 6 inch reach so if your a scrapper you can add eyelets or grommets in the center of your page. I took a picture of my new tool on my counter in my craft room with some of the grommets that came with it. Neat huh?
Wayne took the day off from work today so he and I went shopping. I picked up a few things at Staples and a spool of Martha Stewart Twill tape. I did good . ;) Wayne however bought a GPS system for his truck. Seriously though I was very happy to see him buy something for himself. He works hard and certainly does deserve to buy things. I talked with my daughter this evening and then my friend Tami in MN. It was a very good day. :)
Tuesday, I have to go and have a test early in the morning so I think I had better try and get some sleep. I hope that all of you have an awesome day. Smile. :)
Good luck with your tests tomorrow. Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne

I had the opportunity to use the Big Bite at a Late Night Crop while teaching there and I loved it. I've always loved my Cropadile but hated that you were limited by the one inch reach. I do so many projects where I need a deeper reach that I was thrilled they made a newer version. Can't wait to get mine. I ordered it the same night I used it.
