My old Big Shot died...the smallest cogg broke all its teeth off. It was very old so it has lasted a very long time, shame Sizzix wouldn't sell me another cogg, hubby rung them up...'only if it's under warrenty or under three years old...' -mine is years and years old! If it was human inwould be in a wheelchair or at lest carry a stick. Anyway...we took Mr Jinx to the vet yesterday (blood tests) and on the way back hubby turned off at Hobby Craft and said, thanks to 'Lady Pam' (bless her) 'let's go buy a new one.' Love Him! (and Pam of course) YAY!
And here's the New Big shot! Love it. Kicking myself a little bit though, as only about a week ago that Crafty Charity Shop had one still in its box for half the price but that of course got snapped up! That's it from me. Have a really crafty week! See you over on WOYWW later. I will be late as we are off looking after dogs, again. (I will retire one day!) Thank you for stopping by!
Yeah, that would be me all over. Pass up a deal then have the thing break. Or more likely, have a 2nd one and donate it to the local craft club then break my own. Argh. Oh well. Lovely to have a new one with strong rollers! My ancient BigShot only really die cuts at the edges so placement is key. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW on the day for a change :D !

It was a light blue one, don't think I've come across that colour, but there you go...it was there for a couple of visits saying buy me!
DeleteThat Crafty Charity shop is really quite remarkable for the bargains. I got to bed about 1:30 last night. There is a page on FaceBook for free reference photographs. So many beautiful photographs. I probable have enough now for the rest of me life, but I can’t resist. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
ReplyDeleteEvery time I go into town, that Charity Crafty shop is my first port of call, just incase there's a bargain!
DeleteWell you did succumb to new stash but it didn’t cost you much, lol! You’ll enjoy using that new machine and think of Lady Pam each time you do xx
ReplyDeleteHugs LLJ 5 xx
I was really naughty!! and on top of that, more stash arrived today, my craft room is full!
DeleteMachines know they are going to break and don't choose to do it at the right time Lol! I'm sure of it. but the new onw looks good and I'm sure will give years of fun for you. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteGet new big shot! I know you wish your old one had not broken but they do wear out. Sounds like you are keeping busy with crafty items. Edwina Brown
ReplyDeleteI've put my old Big Shot in the new ones box and it's now in the attic, keeping it for spares! Will never throw it away as my mum bought it for me....and she didn't even know what it was!
DeleteSOrry to hear about your Big Shot but how kind of hubby to sort you a new one Lyn. I am rather glad that we don't have a craft charity shop near us as I would be sorely tempted by the bargains lol. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteOh a craft charity shop that sounds fun. Can you not punch your own holes in the plastic strip. Ani
ReplyDeleteMy big shot is lots of years old too, well done on getting a new one (shame about the cog though) hope you enjoy the bargain mags! have a great week Helen #1
ReplyDeleteYes, it's the tiniest one, a few of the 'teeth' have broken off. Sizzix used to send them out but not any more...they'd rather you bought a new machine!
DeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeleteI had to replace my Big Shot within days of it breaking too, hadn’t realised quite how much I used it till it was unusable! Bless Lady Pam huh, it’s nice to have a good useable tangible piece of inheritance, you’ll think if her every time you use it now. Does it help to know that I’ve done the same in terms of walking past a bargain only to need it a week later! It is a bit galling isn’t it!
