I recently bought myself a Cricut Cuttlebug, after years and years of longing for it. And I also casually got a Fiskars Paper Trimmer late last year after (you guessed it) years and years of wanting it. Last night, I dreamt that I was showing my craft tools with some other crafter (who, for whatever … More Crafter’s Nightmare
