I love my Big Shot - I don't do enough to warrant an electric one, and anyhow everyone I know in the UK who's had a Vagabond has had it blow up on them.... never use my Cuttlebug, I should get rid of it! You sound like you've had a really busy time - off to check your other post now. The card is beautiful. Thanks for visiting, the night out was marvellous.

All I have is a cuttlebug (which I use for embossing) - it's very small and doesn't take the larger embossing folders you can get today, but it does me OK. I've got a very few dies and hardly ever use them. I have a Cougar cutting machine which I haven't got going again yet since we moved. I can see the advantage of the Vagabond for someone with muscle fatigue issues - it must be a big help! You've done some lovely cards this week and I particularly like the sunflower one.<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment, and even through my pretty extensive researches into M.E. I had not come across the fact that our blood iron levels tend to be low - very interesting. I'd put it down to my ulcerative colitis which is causing bleeding although mostly at a level that isn't visible - it showed up on my bowel cancer screening test last year, which led to the colitis diagnosis. The iron, being rather binding, actually helps my colitis symptoms so I'm not complaining!<br /><br />If you are interested in making masterboards from the gelli plate, take a look at what Peg Robinson has been up to: http://on-account-a-scrap.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/woyww-279.html - amazing ones!<br /><br />I am trying to rest but I've been really busy this past week, and as usual, art has gone to the bottom of the heap. I hate that - it should be at the top!<br /><br />Happy WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #32Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-79215588935871484972014-10-08T16:47:41.101-05:002014-10-08T16:47:41.101-05:00Hi Vicky

I was your side of the pond last week and had a great time up in Colorado and NY.<br />I did find my way to Jo Annes and had a frenzied 11/2 hours trying to decide what to buy.... as you do when faced with Sooo much loveliness.<br />Anyway, love your cutting area, I have a standard big shot but would love a big shot pro but cannot justify the expense... maybe I should find a friend who wants to sell one lol. great cards<br />janet #15fairy thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056320949396320536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-59431554010412319472014-10-08T16:23:34.738-05:002014-10-08T16:23:34.738-05:00Interesting reading about your die cutting machine...Interesting reading about your die cutting machines and what others have posted.

Until they started getting it right and making the machines to use with dies from other companies, you had to use the machine for the die. I sold all but my big shot and Vagabond. Now Spellbinders is back to making embossing folders an odd size. ARGH! I have one and love the image, but I am NOT getting that machine, I must figure out a sandwich. Glad you had a good time.

I have an old cuttlebug, a Big Shot, a Grand Calibur, and an Electric Big Shot and then my new Ebosser that is electric as well. I save the electrics for when I need a little help for arthritic joints. My favorite is the Grand Calibur and it is my go-to machine most of the time. I guess I'm really a hoarder of die cut machines but I can't seem to help myself!<br />Glenda #44Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978664725946400372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-28651177458748628482014-10-08T04:01:46.266-05:002014-10-08T04:01:46.266-05:00Loved your re-enactment pictures!

The one I never use is my Cricut but I think it will come in for large sized letters so I keep it (gathering dust).

So that leaves me with the EBosser, the Vagabond, the Artisan and the big pink one fro Spellbinders (can't think this morning).
