Here's the one I have: http://www.sizzix.com/category/Original+Sizzix+Machine<br />Now I don't have time to scrapbook - so I blog instead - and every now and then I get an idea for something I can use the die cut machine for! But I think it is good that your kids have to draw for themselves... more art than craft is a good thing. They can be more imaginative that way! I do crafts mostly for fine-motor practice and just for fun. A plain piece of paper and a colored pencil are the best for imaginative creations!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029296444906951529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21732972.post-62342961173881247732009-10-11T14:40:26.335-04:002009-10-11T14:40:26.335-04:00I'm nicknaming you Martha in my head - you act...I'm nicknaming you Martha in my head - you actually own a diecut machine?

I usually end up attaching them to whatever we are going and they just do the sticking them in the right spot part.<br /><br />I would love to hear the rest of the "bare trees" story! :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122729026438550593noreply@blogger.com
