Remember how the Duomo in Florence waited over a hundred years without its dome until Brunelleschi could reinvent how to build it? Or how a train track was laid over the Alps to connect Austria to Italy before a train had even been invented that could make the trip? Well, a few years ago I bought two sets of lower case alphabet dies even though I didn't have a die cut machine. The stores where I bought them were going out of business, so the price was right and I made the leap of faith
that someday I would get the hand tool that used them. However, when I looked for the tool a few months ago, I found out it was not made any more. Jeesh. Not giving up hope, I eventually stumbled upon another machine that uses various brands of dies so I bit the bullet and bought it. No more numb fingers from using an exacto knife to cut out a title! As I continue to make progress on the kids' scrapbook albums while Mom is busy in her room, I am more and more thankful for my new, finger-saving toy.
