Sizzix Die-Cutter and Converter

Score! I just got my hands on an original Sizzix Die Cutter and Converter for $15 total! I have been intrigued by these for years, ever since seeing it demonstrated on The Carol Duvall Show, but could never justify the hefty price since I'd probably only use it once in a while. Well, I am glad I waited, because I got a great deal on this one! I popped by Jo-Ann's a little while ago to scoop out the dies and picked up the circle set. If anyone has any tips on using one of these, please let me know!

Setting up the craft room

I've been tackling the craft room lately, trying to figure out how I want to set it up. I've finally got all (well, almost all!) of my craft books on bookcases in it and have most of my supplies organized by type. I think my next step will be to put up some shelves on one of the walls. I have toyed with the idea of painting it, but since I'll probably put the house on the market and move within the next year or so, I opted to skip that plan... at least for now.
