I have a cutter with a gigantic blade, like the old kind from elementary school workrooms that people tell you to be careful around because it could cut your fingers off. All is well today, it was yesterday that I was cutting and my brain didn't realize my left hand went in to adjust the paper while my right hand was already in motion. Nothing was cut off,  just a disgusting deep cut that sounds worse than it looks and makes friends and family cringe when I tell them what happened.

All  that cutting was in preparation for the Queen Bee Market which begins this evening and goes through tomorrow, so if you're in the San Diego area come visit, shop, and say hello to me and my bandaged hand.

Just a few stitches. :)

The show tonight was great, looking forward to tomorrow.

Ouch! Just remember to keep it clean!
I have an ancient paper cutter too! The school had to get rid of it because it doesn't have some safety feature — and it's the old style with the really heavy blade.

It sits on the floor, so I tend to kind of sit on it when I'm cutting paper some times... some years ago I accidentally knicked the end of my big toe with the blade — so, I know your pain.

Best of luck at the Queen Bee Market!
