January 20, 2015 at 9:36 pmI LOVE my Sizzix .. I bought the second one to come to my area about 14 years ago …. then believe it or not after 14 years of hard use, make that really hard use the bottom roller broke … go figure. No problem I got a new one and hope it lasts just as long. Now getting even more ideas to use and recycle would be icing on my Sizzix cake
