This week is ending up being a grand week for getting goodies in the mail. Yesterday the stamps arrived (they're already trimmed and mounted) and the KnK is scheduled to arrive on Thursday.
I was seriously thinking that I would not get all those sets mounted yesterday, because by the end of it the scissors were starting to rub the skin of my thumb and the middle finger is swollen where the scissors were resting. This always happens when I'm getting a mostly stamp shipment from SU. I trim and I trim and I trim and the pile of untrimmed sets doesn't seem to get any smaller until my fingers hurt. I am starting to wish that SU would start die cutting the regular sets like they're now doing with all mini catalog sets. So much easier to pop the stamps out and mount them, though I do wonder how much the prices would go up if SU were to go down that road.
Anyway, Thursday is KnK day. I am happy that it doesn't arrive at the beginning of the week or I would have to wait until the weekend to get all set up and running. Now I just have to have the machine sitting for a day (or two) letting it adjust itself to not being on the road (It's always a good idea letting electronics do this).
I wonder how I should break it to the good old Wishblade that it's about the be demoted, unhooked from the computer and moved off from the shelf of honor. It has served me so well over the years, though it has started to sound a bit tired lately.
