Have you ever heard of.......?

Have you ever heard of five bladed scissors!  Well for sure I hadn't until earlier this week when I was watching a recipe video where someone was using them.  They were cutting up herbs and green onions and I thought wow! I bet those cost a lot.

I looked them up on, yep, Amazon and found they were quite reasonably priced.  A pair, (should they be called a pair if they have five blades?) cost $6.95.  So I ordered some to check them out and they arrived the next day.  They must now have a distribution center reasonably close as we have had a couple of next day deliveries lately, which is a bonus for sure.

Anyway, I was really surprised with how good quality they are and they cut up green onions perfectly.  I can never get them so thin with a knife.  I tried them on the lettuce and they did a great job of that too.  They come with a cover which doubles as a thing to clean out  between the blades which was essential for the green onions and lettuce because of the moisture.  I imagine that cutting up dry herb leaves etc. would be even better.

So I am very happy with my impulse purchase and my husband loves the lettuce cut up like that.

I also made a card for our son whose birthday is coming up.  I am not so good with cards for men as I like 'pretty and sparkly' but I think I did OK and I used one of my new stencils and dobbers on it too and also my little sticky foam blocks to give it a 3D effect.  I made the envelope to match the card too.

I printed up the main greeting and personalised it and my husband did a greeting too from him and I printed it up to match the other.  It was made from the heart and I hope he likes it.

We have been working in the sunroom doing the trim around the windows and the top and bottom of the boards, it is finally coming together.  Still lots to do but we can see and end to it now.  It has been a long drawn out job because of our health limitations but it is very rewarding to see how it went from this:-

That is just part of it, we had to basically rebuild two walls from the outside to the inside.

The American football season starts today and our team, the KC Chiefs play tonight so looking forward to watching that. Go Chiefs!
