Are the "machines" worth getting???
I've been looking thorough magazines and online and there's a lot of advertising on embossing and cutting machines. I'm wondering if anyone has them and are they worth investing in? I can imagine the alpha's would be handy... I'm working on getting an early Christmas list to prepare hubby with mwahahhaa
Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
Oh and if so what would you recommend?? Considering he's asking for a $400 gift, I think he should be spending the same budget on me
Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
It really depends on what you want and how often you use it. Treens. I have the cuttlebug and love it. If you like to try it then you are more than welcome to come over or vice versa. Alternatively if there is a shop that you can try them at go and give them ago!

I have a cuttlebug that i use a lot for embossing cards. I don't cut much with it cos i think the dies are too expensive! That being said tho, i have just ordered a Cricut Expression, and i can't wait to get it!!

Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
LOL, hubby bought an incubator for $400 right before mother's day, so i told him that could be his father's day pressie as long as i could get a machine for Mother's day!! lmao!! Slightly late, but better late than never!!
Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
What in God's name does M need an incubator for.....? The mind can only wonder.....
Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
LOL, he is a bird nerd, and needs it to incubate the eggs!! Most of the birds will hatch out and care for their own young, but some that we have are notorious for looking after the first egg they lay, but none after that, so we will take those ones to incubate and raise!!
Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
Oh - that is cute.....no way near what I was thinking!
Birds are notoriously nasty animals for that arn't they? I saw a documentary on birds when I was heavily pregnant with Matthew and I was sobbing like a baby by the end of it when I saw how the smallest bird gets picked on and pecked at by the others and then pushed out of the nest and left to die and the Mother bird doesn't care a bit. *Phew take a breath now* It was trully awful - or was it the hormones...? I seriously was crying freely by the end of it - very disturbing!

Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
Yeah, it is heart breaking when you see all the baby birds, then you find one dead on the floor of the aviary!!
Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
Hmmm I didn't get a mothers day pressie (we were too busy re-locating) I wonder if I can put an order in as well LOL
I know what you guys mean about baby birds... My dad used to breed budgies - Nothing like the gorgeous things Vicki has in her yard, but still can be quite vicious to their babies...

Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
What kind of birds do you have Vick? Treen - you don't need to buy one you could use Vickis!
Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???

Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
Oh - how nice. Do you have some photos? I like parrots. As for volunteering your equipment.....hehehehe!
Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
Sorry for hi-jacking your thread Treens, but here are some bird pics Ant!!
Ok.. so this is our pet Quaker Parrot 'Holly'! We used to have her in the house, but we have recently put her out in the avairy and got her a boyfriend 'Alex', who is actually blue in colour, so hopefully when they have babies they will throw some green and some blue! We will handraise their babies as they are worth quite a bit!!
We also have King Parrots. This pic isn't actually of ours, cos i couldn't find any pics on my lappy, but this is a male king. The female is all green. Our male actually died a couple of months ago, so we have since bought a young male king, which is also all green, but should be bright red by this time next year!!
And these ones are the green cheek conures that we had raised last year! You can see the size difference in these pics! We have the parent of these outside, and they actually bred 11 young last year, in two batches!! These were the first birds we have ever handraised, and i had to feed them every 3hrs, while also doing the same with Bj!! I was very busy!!

Re: Are the "machines" worth getting???
Beautiful pics Vicki. Paul and his family used to have birds, they went out one day only to come back to find some wanka had gotten into the yard and slit the throats of all the birds in the aviary. Some of the birds were quite expensive, they had cockatoos and budgies and other Australian Natives. They never got birds again after that! Now tho I am thinking of closing all the windows and turning the heater on, it is absolutely freezing. Shadow is hanging for a beach run but with the rain, I might give it a miss for today!
