A New Tool!

I met a girlfriend for lunch yesterday and it just happened that there was an Archiever's in the same mall area.  It's crazy because I NEVER get to scrapbook stores and here I have been to 2 within the last 2 weeks.  Anywhoo...I saw something quite nifty and it "followed" me home.  It's the We R Memory Keepers Magnetic Twist Trimmer.  Who has one????  How do you like it???  I got the combo pack that has 8 blades and the cutting mat thing.  Those of you who have known me for awhile know that I NEEDED this - ha!

My other comment...I got to really snoop around (no hubby breathing down my neck) and I cannot get over the prices of stuff.  Yes, I had a store with many goodies so I should know about the prices - right?  I never marked my stuff retail suggested price I marked it lower.  But to be in a store where everytime you turn around patterned papers are $1.00 or more...I had sticker shock.  Unbelieveable how this craft has evolved.

  1. Melissa, I am with you on the sticker shock, especially after CHA. I saw a new line from one designer of old and some expected new items from a current well known designer and about had a heart attack when I saw the retail price. I am not sure how people are going to be able to afford these new items, which is such a shame because they are awesome. Just not that awesome.

  4. I'm with ya on the sticker shock. We don't have a lss anymore. I went by a Michaels and looked at their loose cardstock and papers for the first time! I was shocked that a piece cost $1.99!!!!! For ONE stinkin' sheet of paper that I could have gotten at my LSS for less than a buck! It was rediculous! Oh, I'll just stop there, lol...I could do a huge rant on that!

    Congrats on the new trimmer! I've heard good things about them but haven't ever played with one! Maybe you could do a little review on it and let us know what you think?

  6. I think I need to see the new gadget, because I don't know what it is! Have fun!!

    Hello! I hear you on the sticker shock! That's why when I got in Archiver's, I do a lot of looking, and then I go to the Hot Spot and clearance section! Sometimes I get stuff at 75% off, and that's AWESOME!! The price on individual pieces of paper is truly CRAZY!! Archiver's had some in the clearance section for 98 cents! That's clearance!?!
