Button Maker is on the Way

There is a financial rule stating Wait 24 hours before making a big purchase.  Well, I've waited years before buying a button maker.  I finally made the splurge!  It is on it's way. 

I accidentally bought the more expensive one.  And yes, I do mean accidentally.  There are 2 websites that sell button makers; I researched and picked out the one I wanted months ago.  I hopped onto the site I remembered as being the one and made my purchase.  Instead of rechecking both sites as I should have done, I went with a faulty memory.

Now, you're probably thinking I should have canceled it and reordered but there are 4 reasons why I did not.  I thoroughly reviewed the 2 beginners packages (again) and noted these differences:
  1. I just like my machine better.  It looks more comfortable to use--having a better angled handle and a comfort grip on it.
  2. The more expensive web site now offers a lifetime warranty too.
  3. It comes with design software and 2 discs with graphics.  I've already tried designing buttons on photoshop and it's really hard to size them correctly.  This way I won't have to tinker excessively with sizing.
  4. The circle cutter in my package is sooooo much better looking than the cheaper package.  
I spent $70 more than I would have had I been paying attention.  We'll chalk that up to me being sick.  Now, if I had truly regretted my mistake I would have tried to cancel the order.  But in the end I'm happy with my purchase and EXCITED.
