  31. Hmmm.. since I don't have a diecutter, I guess I don't have much use for these goodies. So I would probably hang them on the wall, using them as carrots to make save money for a diecutter ;o)

    Or maybe I could use them to put som pressure on my partner to buy me a diecutter. If I just sat all day, stared at the dies, giving big sigh's. It would drive him nuts! hmmm I think I have a plan there *LOL*
