Gemini die cut REVIEW- 2016

[@saradavies1406]

Hey - just wanted to say THANK YOU for reviewing our machine! It's great to see it from a users point of view! Many thanks, Sara (from Crafter's Companion)

[@poetspice]

Oh my goodness! Thank you for commenting on my video! I totally love this machine! Crafter's Companion products are my favorites!!

[@ronhoward2967]

I love your tutorial. This review truly helped me make a decision on which machine to purchase. Hands down The Gemini, passes the test. The company owes you a huge thanks for my purchase. I was leaning a different way and then here comes your review and tutorial. Thank you for taking time to share this machine with those of us not quite ready to dip our toes into a two hundred dollar foot bath. lol. You are too sweet for words. Thanks again, Ronda

[@poetspice]

You're welcome! Glad it helped! I understand, I usually don't buy gadgets right when they come out brand new on the market, but this one- had to try!

[@julieolinger1386]

Thank you for reviewing your new Gemini! I can tell you are really going to enjoy this! Thank you also for answering my question about it not cutting the thicker dies. TFS

[@roseslacenlaughter7513]

I have never seen a die cut machine work. This is great. Love your video and enthusiasm! Thank you!

[@poetspice]

Oh my this Gemini is awesome! TFW

[@TheCoutureCrafter]

thanks for the review. i had to close my eyes and LOOK away. sounds like you LOVE yours and I am so glad that you do. nothing beats being happy with a purchase.

[@poetspice]

LOL No don't walk away- buy buy buy! LOL

[@valariendifon1630]

The twins rock!! I just got my machine today, I can't wait to play with it on Friday night. Thanks for your review.

[@poetspice]

Awesome!!! I hope you love it! Oh no! You have to wait until Friday to play?

[@katelucas204]

I just bough this machine on the last HSN craft day(5/9) and I feel the same way as you do " LOVE IT". I die cut at least 100 things, and everything came out perfect. I just love watching you, you are so energetic, you make me laugh, and I was shouting to let you know you forgot to add paper. LOL.

[@poetspice]

IT IS A FAB machine! One of the BEST craft purchases I'e ever made! Tfw! Glad to help!

[@fabyaybar9224]

Love your excitement. I can't wait to play with mine when it arrives and the TWINS ROCK!!!! Rock on Girl!!!!!!

[@poetspice]

LOL Thanks for watching. I hope you get to play soon!

[@ThePaperCastle]

Great review! I didn't get to watch a full presentation on HSN, so I don't know if she explained how to take care of the plates. But on the CC YT channel, she demonstrates how to rotate and flip the plates so that they'll last a lot longer and won't warp as much. I love mine as much as you do.....it was my most expensive splurge this year, but SO worth it! TFS, Heather

[@poetspice]

Yeah, I know about the turning and such. I've done it. Plates still warp. I use mine A LOT. All my machines. For example the day of this demo I cut dies for literally about 4 hours straight. I love dies!

[@roxannebetlinski5018]

Thank you thank you for this video. Paid over that amount for other electric and fight with it constantly, this will replace it. Love it, great for someone with arthritis.

[@wannascrap2144]

I can't believe how much die cutting you have done already! You go girl! And yes I would love to see more demonstration! I am soon to be getting my first big kick die cutting machine, but you have my interest with the Gemini!!! So far "The Twins Rock" Tfs hugs Renee

[@poetspice]

It's crazy! I die cut like mad! Lol it's relaxing. I seriously need to order backup plates. Congrats on the other machine! I have a Big Shot Plus, too. Love it.

[@wannascrap2144]

+poetspice back up plates might be a necessity for you girl! Lol glad to hear you like the big shot, cause Michaels has it on back order, I'm just all over the place with getting my first one, not sure which one would be right for me, time will tell I guess! Definitely interested to see what all yours does and if it can handle you! Lol Hugs Renee

[@poetspice]

+Wanna Scrap? The Big Shot Plus cuts up to 8.5 X11 inches which is why I bought it. It seems to be keeping up so far, but I bought backup plates for it as soon as I played with it the first time because I knew I'd need them lol Check Amazon. I don't know how much you want to spend, but right now the Plus is $154 the Big Shot (which is the same as the Big Kick) is $89.

[@wannascrap2144]

+poetspice hmmm that's good to know! Thanks for the information! I'll look into it!

[@KimboKreations]

thanks for taking the time to do this review hopefully HSN will bring it back I may have to get it and the twins rock!

[@poetspice]

I'm loving it so far!

[@abeph23]

I love your enthusiasm. I just got a Gemini. Can't wait to play with it.

[@Suehuskins]

The twins rock. Don't forget the paper! Yes I have done that in a hurry. Thanks for sharing how it works.

[@poetspice]

Lol I know right! I was trying to keep the video somewhat short -- lol totally can't cut without paper! 🤓😱

[@JillianNorwood]

It cuts and embossed beautifully! And the twins rock! :)

[@poetspice]

I love it!

[@nancysmith5259]

Great video. Thank you!!! Sarah said that you can put a towel under the machine to make it a little quieter if it is too loud for you. Question for you- When you emboss, aren't you supposed to put the frosty plate on top of purple plate? I'm sure you know since you have yours. I'm so excited and can't wait. I'm glad you mentioned to everyone about the thick dies. Sarah mentioned that too on HSN. It will do the thick Anna Griffin folders though. Love the video!!!!

[@poetspice]

Thanks for watching. I didn't use the plastic shim. There was no need. I have 2 other types of dies I need to try using.

[@cathygregory8312]

The Twins Rock....just ordered this can't wait to get it, especially after watching your great video!

[@poetspice]

TFW. You'll love it.

[@kathrynwiller2840]

Great video ... Thanks! You mentioned that sometimes you have to sharpen your dies - didn't know that could be done ... How do u do that? Are u just talking about running it thru with foil or something?

[@zoilarivera8866]

Thank you very, very much for your honest review. I will be staying tune because I want to see about cutting cereal boxes, and chipboard.....YOU KNOW "the twins rock". I am really thinking about getting one, love the review.....hugs👍

[@poetspice]

No problem. As I am not sponsored by any companies, I have no problem telling it like I see it LOL GET ONE! LOL I'll being doing a few more demos soon.

[@delorisblue7606]

GOOD TO KNOW: IF YOUR PLATFORMS GET STUCK IN THE MACHINE hold down the PAUSE button for 10 seconds to release. This is a "Over ride" button.

[@jacobkissell7520]

How's the machine holding up??(I see you did the video about a year ago) Is it still cutting as good as you first got it? Love how you said your a beast with your cutting, Thinking about investing in this machine but just wondering how good it still cuts after years.(planning on doing a lot of cutting with it)

[@poetspice]

Yep. This machine is fabulous! I cut a ton. I've gone through 3 A plates. This machine is definitely worth it.

[@jeanneluddeni5159]

It must be me I can't get the sandwich through

[@janetscraps3443]

Great machine, and I love your joyous personality, thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@poetspice]

I love this thing! So fun! TFW

[@debbiederosa5615]

Forgot to add, you are right the plates for Gemini warp quickly, the downsize. You said in an answer that you used Cut-n-Boss plate in Gemini ? Did it work without jamming ? Did you have to make any adjustments, like keep off the magnetic plate or something ?

[@laurayee1289]

Helpful review. My trusty electronic die cutter just died and looking to buy a replacement. I think it burned out from old age. I like the fairy die that was used on the first cut. What is the name of that fairy die? Thanks.

[@sjtebo]

XThank you for this video. I just ordered this and I am so happy to hear that I have made a good decision.

[@poetspice]

Excellent! Glad to help. I have several other demo videos, too.

[@kimberlybrant4270]

Lol, girl I was yelling "you forgot the paper" didn't you hear me? Too funny, looks like your having fun thanks for the review!

[@poetspice]

Lol. So funny! Trying to get it all perfect- then forget paper! Lol

[@helendiaz3359]

Great demo! Just rec'd my Gemini, can't wait to use it.

[@poetspice]

Awesome! Hope you have fun with it!

[@dianneherrera5522]

The twins rock! Love your personality, had me giggling a few times, especially when you forgot to put in the paper. HA Dianne

[@sarahmccabe384]

the twins rock poet spice😃 and thanks for the great review - I love your accent!

[@BeeCreativeWithPaper]

Great review! Glad you're enjoying your new toy after the disappointment from the Cut N Boss. I have the original Ebosser by Craftwell, and I love it. I have nerve damage and needed to use an electronic cutter, so it was perfect, especially since I do wedding, birthday and Quinceanera invites for family and friends (hundreds done with my craftwell). But, when I saw you purchase one at the great clearance price (I paid $170 for the original) I ran and purchased one two for a backup. Here's the odd thing... which I think made the difference in cutting between the original Ebosser vs. the Cut N Boss... the Ebosser came with a 'C' plate and a rubber plate whereas the new one from Joanns didn't and the new one included the metal shim. Plus, the opening on the Ebosser is wider as the 'C' plate is almost as thick as the 'D' plate. Which means the sandwich combos between the machines are completely different. 😕 I wonder why they switched it up when it was working perfectly - try could've added pretty gold stripes without changing the machine, LOL. I saw your CutNBoss review and said to myself 'she's missing plates!' but then I opened the new box and saw they were different. Joanns won't accept returns on it, but at least I have a backup if my Ebosser dies (it has jammed on me once and I almost cried). Someone mentioned going to the Craftwell website and reviewing their 'sandwich guide' for the Cut N Boss because they made updates to it. Before you destash it, might be worth a try! Thanks again for your great video, I love listening to your bubbly enthusiasm and of course seeing your beautiful projects. That fairy die is gorgeous! Twins Rock! ~ Evie 😊

[@poetspice]

Thank you! Glad it helped They crack me up making "better" (which usually means cheaper for them) versions of products and then the product stinks. I've had nothing but annoyances with the Cut n Boss- I'm destashing it as soon as I can. Tfw :)

[@msmartinigirl1]

Nice! Love that skeleton die and that fairy and the really intricate butterfly are beautiful!!! The Twins Rock!!!!!! Also love the size of those large embossing folders! I can see you are having lots of fun with your new die cutting machine, love how you don't have to crank it. :) As you can see is love ❤️ ❤️ it all except that it won't cut the Bigz dies.

[@poetspice]

Yes. Love it. I've already cut out tons!!!!- in less than 24 hours! Its doesn't cut the thick dies, but they don't typically need the extra pressure to cut. Since I have crank machines that will, I don't feel a lack. Woot! Tfw

[@cathygregory8312]

QUESTION? Can you emboss with your die cuts. That's to say no cutting, just embossing as I have with my Cuttlebug, to give paper raised impression If so, what sandwich would I use? Thanks for your time and help. Thought I saw it on one of your video's but can't find it.

[@poetspice]

Cathy Gregory you can emboss your die but you have to play with your own machine to see exactly how it'll work. The easiest way I've found to emboss without cutting is to actually cut 2 at once. Usually the second layer of an intricate die doesn't cut all the way through.

[@SybilB]

Hey Jami, I do have a quick question, if you wanted to emboss the diecuts, do you leave everything in place and then add an embossing plate or just what? I love the ease of how it goes through the machine, I would love to see how it cuts felt....thinking of Christmas dies. Oh yes, the Twins Rock. ;)

[@poetspice]

Tfw. To emboss you take the magnetic shim out then put the embossing pad on top of the die. It's uber easy. I will try to hunt through the stash for felt and fabric. I want to try fabric.

[@SybilB]

+poetspice thanks for answering! ❤️

[@madhatterscrafts1233]

I have ordered one of these I am here watching your vlog the doorbell rings and guess what......It was the Gemini you might be thinking how nice the shock of this is because I only ordered it yesterday and expected delivery was the 1st to 13 of November. I am a little stunned but so excited.

[@poetspice]

madhatterscrafts 123 awesome! I hope you like it!!!🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@shomaberamji1]

Hi dear, I am planning to get myself a Gemini machine, but little sceptical... its quite an expensive machine. I want to know can it be repaired if it breaks down? Do u think its durable to last for 3-4 years? I am also a heavy usedlike you. Someone told me that it gets over heated fast, have you faced this issue? Any ideas after how many cuts does it get warm? Apart from this is there any other machine you can suggest? Someone told me about Cutn Boss? Kindly help Thank you

[@yolandamccurdy7177]

TFS, your enthusiasm is great. I do have a question: Who makes the skeleton die you used?

[@poetspice]

Tfw! Gina Marie Designs makes the die.

[@luv2beadmw]

The twins rock. Thanks for showing me how to use the machine I just purchased

[@poetspice]

You're welcome. Glad to help.

[@purplerobinin]

Nice machine and dies. Waiting for mine to be delivered. The twins rock!

[@poetspice]

Hopefully you'll love it!

[@mschoicealways]

The twins rock. A video on using the embossing mat with the Gemini would be very helpful. Thanks for sharing your review!

[@poetspice]

Thanks for watching. I will be doing more videos soon.

[@traciamcconnachie1382]

mine is going to be here on Friday! what is the name of the fairy die you used in the first round of cuts? I really like that

[@jackie618587]

don't know anything about this but find it interesting ! so what do you do with all the pieces you cut out??

[@poetspice]

Die cutting is awesome! I typically make cards, journals, tags, etc. with the pieces. Sometimes I give them away.

[@hafeezagolapkhan2454]

love the video. . can u tell me from where did you get the cutting machine and those dies??? actually i have a machine but it's too small it can cut one or two dies at once. . please really want to buy one. .

[@poetspice]

I bought my Gemini from HSN however, they now sell it at Hobby Lobby and maybe Michael's. The dies are from a variety of places. I buy dies wherever I find a good price.

[@raggedyanna6-Missy]

i have another question my friends machine is hard to push the plates through and if you look inside the white roller on the right hand side looks off kilter could you peek inside yours? she has to hold it and kind of push it a lot to feed it yours seems to just glide in thank you so much

[@poetspice]

HI, I will try and do another video for you and look inside. Some tips: 1) make sure the plate combo is correct 2) try running the plates through WITHOUT a die and see if that works

[@DonnaJo3452]

raggedyanna6 Also do not feed your plates in with the die right there at the tea edge of the sandwich, put about an inch or two between the edge of the sandwich and the diet , that way the sandwich going in will only be two plates thick and when the rollers get to the die they just will expand a little bit and go over the die. Hope this helps!

[@jamm6580]

The twins rock.....love your demo😃👍🏻😃

[@poetspice]

Thank you. glad to help.

[@carolscraftycottage]

I love your review and I can tell that you love this machine. The twins rock!

[@poetspice]

Omg! Yes. Yes I do!

[@Sunjoy1]

question I have for you...CC says to rotate the cutting board..are you doing that??? how is it working for you?

[@poetspice]

Yes, I rotate, but I cut for HOURS at a time so the plates are going to warp no matter what.

[@debbiederosa5615]

You forgot to mention how QUIET this machine is ! I just got mine, I also have a cut-n-boss machine, which I loved but did not like the button being below the plate window....it got jammed & to unjam you have to hold button down ( which is very hard to do when button is below opening ) it rarely jams, but is a hassle if it does. So I bought Gemini, it is so quiet I can hear my TV, music, when running machine...could not do that with my other machine !!! Now Gemini is my favorite.

[@mmmariam100]

Thanks for this great review can't wait to receive mine and start playing

[@poetspice]

Hope you love it when it arrives! Tfw.

[@SapphireCauldron]

Fab review Miss Jami! The twins rock! And so do you!! xoxo~💖Goldie

[@poetspice]

Aww thanks chicky! Tfw.

[@Sunjoy1]

I got one also at HSN....so excited to use mine as well.. great review!!! TY

[@poetspice]

Fabulous!!! I hope this helped. I'll be doing more videos soon.

[@sandimarino6208]

The twins rock! Thanks for the review. Got mine yesterday

[@poetspice]

Awesome. Have you payed with it yet?

[@Healthycook0001]

Thanks for the review! I wonder how much the cutting pads will be when they hit retail. Any idea? Oh and BTW the twins rock.....and so do you!!!

[@poetspice]

No problem. I would like to know, too. I would image they'd be competitive with other machines. I need to contact the company. Thanks :)

[@phoeberuff475]

I'm curious - where did you get the skeleton die cut, what is the brand? Thank you so much in advance.

[@poetspice]

Gina Marie Designs

[@BryanArtist]

Can you add mask to embossing folders, if you want some flat surfaces left?

[@poetspice]

Yes. I don't have any masks but they can be used.

[@BlackCatNoni]

Thank you for the review, I would love to see more videos on various materials and other AG dies and embossing folders. I saw the Mix & Match (thick white embossing folders) demoed, but am curious about the Spellbinder thick folders too. Do you think if you used the metal shim, it would solve the problem with the dies that you've been having a hard time with or just that the dies aren't made right. What company is the skeleton die from? Your video had areas where it was hard to hear you. I'm okay with not being able to do the steel rule dies because I do have a Vagabond too, but I like the option of the wider platform, which I was considering the Big Shot Plus, but the Gemini seems to take care of that. Oh.and the Twins Rock!

[@poetspice]

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped. I plan on doing some other material demos soon. I have a few other embossing folders. I don't have the Anna G thick ones, but I do have the thick Spellbinders though. I think the metal shim will work with some of the other dies, the New Edition dies are just not that great. I will try the shim though.

[@louiseneumann1829]

I'm going to today, You inspired me bigtime :)

[@poetspice]

Woot!! Yeah!

[@catharinaworthington7829]

Can you tell me where do you buy additional plates? Can big shot plates fit or any other name brand. Thanks

[@poetspice]

Catharina Worthington you can get them on Crafter's Companion website. However, I order Craftwell A plates from Amazon. For me they work better and hold up longer.

[@catharinaworthington7829]

Thanks. I waited too long to place my order HSN sold out. LOL

[@jesseb5112]

Thank you. I posted some questions on the demo video with the happy birthday. I am seriously thinking of a Gemini

[@poetspice]

Get it! If you cut intricate dies, this machine is the BEST! I never pay full price for craft stuff, but this machine I WOULD pay full price!

[@jesseb5112]

Thanks!

[@lindagk23]

Wow! This looks like a great machine! I appreciate you doing a review. If you try cutting felt would you let us know how that goes? I love the size and it doesn't seem to be that loud as it cuts. The twins rock! TFS

[@poetspice]

Tfw! Glad to help. I will be trying some of the other materials when I find some in my stash. Stay tuned :)

[@kristinrodko4695]

What brand is your skeleton die cut? And where did you buy it from?

[@shmugglebuggles]

Kristin Rodko hi, the die is from Amazon and I just bought it for £1.99. its by a company on Amazon called Demiawaking. They have other fabulous dies on there too, all at a great price

[@shmugglebuggles]

I was trying to tell you there was no paper...lol.

[@adelesapilewski6698]

Judy McIntire z

[@cac0403]

Have you had any problems embossing after die cutting?

[@poetspice]

No. The only problem so far is if the paper comes out of the die. Then the paper usually gets cut weird.

[@dyane1869]

Thx for the comparisons. It was extremely helpful!

[@brendastevens3099]

Thanks for a comprehensive review.

wow this machine is so cool and now once again I wish I didn't get the Spellbinders platinum. this will be on my wish list!!! TFS

[@poetspice]

I hear you. I was never interested in an electric cutter until the clearance on the Cut n Boss. So I got one- wish I'd never gotten it- I'll be destashing it soon. But this machine. Love!

[@poetspice]

Deb Houck excellent!

[@DonnaJo3452]

Hi, a comment or two! I’ve been enjoying your videos. One of the problems with your dies not cutting is not the dies but you cutting too many dies at a time! If you review Sara Davies’ video(s), one in particular explains the concept of the pressure being exerted between the metal rollers. If you place, say, a 1” x 5” die with the 5” side parallel to the rollers, the pressure has to be distributed in more cutting edges than if you place the die perpendicular to the rollers, then all the pressure is directed on a lot less cutting edges. Also she suggested running a die/die cut through using the embossing mat. Sara said sometimes that will cut the remaining spots. And it’s been suggested by others that if you change the position of the die/die cut slightly, the rollers will apply pressure differently and that helps cut the remaining places also. I am not an expert at die cutting, but I watch a lot of videos not just a lot but tons of videos and I have learned so much from others. I’m sure you have learned from others too! I hope some of these suggestion help :-). I am watching through all of your videos!

[@DonnaJo3452]

P. S. I am impressed that Sara Davies, the owner of Crafter’s Companion, reviewed your video!

[@poetspice]

Yep, I know. It's funny how sometimes no matter how much you put on the plate it will cut fine. However, that is usually with less detailed dies.

[@raggedyanna6-Missy]

how do you get your plates not to bow rotated turned and still bowing

[@poetspice]

The plates are going to bow no matter what. However, you have to rotate as well as turn them over. Also I found that once it's bowed, do some embossing folders. It helps flatten the plate after a few run throughs.

[@MEMERREPETERS]

Thanks for your honest opinion of the Gemini. Mine hasn't arrived yet (from HSN TS) but is due tomorrow. Just hoping the magnetic sheet (which looks like it took a tole from using) and the plates are not too expensive as I too like to keep extras on hand for a "just in case". Looks great, can't wait to try mine and The Twins Rock...

[@poetspice]

Tfw! Glad to help!! Open it and have fun!! Yeah, I need extra plates, too. I am hard on my machines. I didn't see any on hsn. I'm going to contact the company.

[@MEMERREPETERS]

Hope you had luck with getting what you needed.. I waited to see if they would have any extra parts to replace as needed but guess not.

[@poetspice]

+ARLENE PETERS I finally got replacements for the magnetic sheet and the cutting plate. It came a few days ago.

[@MEMERREPETERS]

That's great. Where did you go to get, or order them?

[@poetspice]

+ARLENE PETERS my rubber mat got cut through and my cutting plate broke so I emailed for replacements. I don't know if they're selling replacements yet.

[@beckymoon1662]

checked and I can not find it anywhere..... :( Where did you get that skeleton die cut?

[@poetspice]

Gina Marie designs just type it in the search bar. it will theh the wholesale one.

[@AngryCatCrafts]

Jamie, what a great review!! if I didn't buy the cut n boss I would get this, but I am sure my husband wouldn't approve. :)

[@poetspice]

Thanks for watching. Yeah, I bought the Cut n Boss a few weeks back. I'll be destashing it! Woot!

[@missbukii]

Good review! Was curious about this machine for a while

[@poetspice]

I love it!! Tfw

[@HeidiLilley]

looks like a wonderful machine........ where did you get that wonderful fairy die that you showed near the beginning? I LOVE it.

[@poetspice]

I'm loving this machine! My poor cutting plate looks ages old. It's a Gina Marie Designs die.

[@HeidiLilley]

i think it may be retired i can't seem to locate it :(

[@poetspice]

+Heidi Lilley no the Gemini is brand new. It was released on hsn, but it's not for retail sale yet until August.

[@HeidiLilley]

lol, no no, i meant the gina marie fairy stamp lol, sorry to confuse you.

[@poetspice]

+Heidi Lilley it might be. Some dies she only has for a short bit.

[@Craftygal32]

Thanks for the share I must go check it out. The twins rock! Vickie

[@poetspice]

No problem. I like reviews and tutorials so I hope it helped.

[@unknowncodplayer2072]

Can you cut fabric wth the gemini

[@mytudees1]

I love your review, who is the manufacturer of that sweet skeleton? Love that little guy! lol the twins rock! Thanks so much! Carole Lovill

[@poetspice]

Thanks. The die is Gina Marie designs- just type it in the search.

[@judymcintire7095]

Haven't had time but enjoyed watching you! I will. HSN has something on the 30th. If it's on and cheaper so much for that. Lol

[@poetspice]

Oh no. That's not fun! Yes, I will probably watch but I didn't see anything I uber wanted in the sneak peek. I doubt it will be cheaper, demand is too high.

[@scrappassion01]

Great review!!! Betty

Thanks. Hope it helped. I got this anyway because I already have a Cuttlebug and a Big Shot Plus, so I don't really need this machine to cut thick dies. Also most thick dies I've seen aren't nearly as intricate as thin dies so they don't need the extra pressure. Tfw! I love this machine!

+poetspice I got u girl, just wish 4 one that will do it all & do it well ' cause i don't want to end it up with so many different machines so far i have 3 but after ur review & saw that cuts like butter i may have to get it specially if cuts all the different materials that they show during the sell.

[@poetspice]

+KME2927 the Cut N Boss does it all but I didn't like it. It was a pain to work with. I'm selling mine. I want to look in my stash for other materials to cut and see if it works.

[@poetspice]

Hello there, okay question how do u sharpen your die's? Please share Rj

[@poetspice]

ThriftyCrafterMale you run them through the machine cutting aluminum foil. I would do it with a crank machine vs the Gemini though. Did you buy the Junior? Mine is supposed to arrive today! I got the purple one! I heard you on the HSN show! How to you actually call in to talk to theming the show vs ordering? I'd love to call in and say hi to Sarah! Woot!!

[@ThriftyCrafterMale]

poetspice thank you kindly for sharing. Rj

I was telling you that you forgot the paper! You'll have to try again. I think this is going on my wish list. Maybe my hubby will get it for me for my birthday. TFS
