sticky fingers

I braved the usual line-ups at Michaels this past weekend to use their 50%-off coupon to buy a Xyron to use with my scrapbooking.  When I write "Xyron" I mean their product that applies adhesive to cardstock, ribbon, vellum, etc. - when I started scrapbooking, those machines were the only products they made, I think. I've wanted one of these for years, but never even window-shopped for one, thinking that they were terrifically expensive. I was surprised to find that the model I purchased, the 510, was only $70 here in Canada. I'd thought that they were several hundred dollars. I guess that it still was a big purchase, even though I had the coupon and paid about $35 plus tax. Then again, I haven't exactly spent a lot of money on scrapbooking stuff since we moved to St. John's, so I'm probably still within my annual craft budget :)

Laura, I've been thinking about a Xyron for some time. I'd love to know how you feel about it. I used a Michael's coupon some time back and splurged on a Sizzix. My next purchase might be the Xyron. Thanks!
