Morning Bloggers. Although I am still feeling the effects of flu, Im going to do some die cutting today and hopefully a card. I purchased a Cuttlebug this morning. Do I really need another embossing/ cutting machine no I dont suppose I do but I just had to have it. My excuse is, that they all have their plus side. Any thoughts on the cuttlebug would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day.



Morning All from a misty North London. Didnt get much crafting done yesterday due to me having the flu.Took delivery of some stamps yesterday, but I dont know whether I am  going to keep them, Happy crafting.
