I did it...

I freakin' did it.
This January, I silently vowed that I was going to buy a heavy duty paper cutter when I made enough money from sales to do so. It's all apart of my Better Business Practices that I adopted last year- if you don't have it, don't spend it. I thought I would have to wait until the summer or even longer. Typically, the first few months of the year are not great sales months, so I didn't expect to see anything for awhile.
So, I researched and found one I liked, kept it in mind and went about my way. I have to mention that I made no sales # goals to achieve this. (I don't really believe in monthly sales goals right now- only yearly, but that's another post). I just let my product do the talking.

Low and behold.
This Friday, I will (hopefully) be the owner of this new little beauty.



It's on Ebay, but it comes with a "if you don't like it, send it back" deal, so I'm not as scared to hit the "Buy Now" button. I'm going half-sies with the hubs so it can be a Valentine's Day present. Who gets freakin' excited for an industrial strength paper cutter? Me.

I can't even tell you how much this is going to make my life easier. I was trimming out a few things last nite and hubs looked at me and said, "Imagine how much easier that would be if you had your paper cutter." i looked at him and said, "I tell myself that everyday." He's been on trimming duty, so he knows how painstaking it is to trim EVERYTHING by hand- including 150 multilayered invitations.

I have a handful of big projects coming up (a wedding and a set of Graduation invites), so I can't wait to use this bad boy.

This year is shaping up to be a mighty fine one, indeed.
