Where has time gone?

Summers are so busy for everyone, but oh what a summer we are having here in Southern Ontario.  And although I am not a huge fan of humidity I can manage well enough.  My Mom just got back from a trip to Eastern Canada, where it rained most days and a warm day of her 3 week stay was a balmy 16 degrees Celsius!  Now that is a bit chilly for summer time temps. 

We have just received a small order of House Mouse stamps and the new cutting dies are here as well.  These are some of the nicest dies we have seen in awhile.  They look rather flimsy in the package but don't let that fool you.  They are good and sturdy.

 Although it is an extra expense, the optional metal cutting plate adapter is well worth the money.  Some of the most intricate dies that were difficult to remove, popped right out when we used the plate.  I will be trying it with my Spellbinder Fleur de Lis that gave me fits when I was using it.
