My Birthday
Friday, July 11, 2008 at 11:32PM
Well, okay. My birthday isn't until next month but ever since I lost my fab BlackJack in November, I have been using an $18 go-phone and dreaming of an iphone. I can't help it- they're so COOL. I know this for a fact because each time I see a friend with one (and sometimes friendly but random strangers), I grab theirs, with permission, and try out a new feature. I've even visited the iphones in the Apple store a few times (did you know you can actually call out on the ones in the store? I wish I had a better memory for phone numbers because I usually can't think of anyone to call but my own home phone and leave myself a message: "I am calling myself from an iphone... I want one...it's so cool..."). I know this is another stumble for my carbon footprint but there you have it. I have a weakness for designer water AND electronics.
No help to my quest for the iphone is this new trimmer coming out from Fiskars. I got to see it when I was at Fiskars Headquarters and I don't know what was more fun, using it or seeing how proud the "Fisk-a-neers" were of it. Either way, it's CUTE AND I could play my future birthday iphone on it (hint, hint in case my husband is reading this). I think I'd load up a ton of programs from NPR and then, uh, rock (?) out to "This American Life" or "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me." while I was scrapping. How funny would that be? Here's a video of the trimmer in action: HERE.
Again, I'm trying not to duplicate posts between Fiskateers.com and my personal blog but I couldn't resist this one- this trimmer even matches my blog theme! But in a week- I'm back to Project Runway posts! Woot!
I should mention- this trimmer works with any MP3 player- not just iphones or ipods (as far as I know). I just happen to WANT an iphone- lol. I've also had the chance to work with one and it is a nice straight cut. Very similar to my Fiskars Rotary Desktop trimmer that I love. Not sure the retail on this... I'll update when I get back from CHA with a new catalog =)

I can't wait until this product is released - it is so cute. I'll probably have to find it online because I can never find that stuff here!
Thanks for the enabling, I mean heads up, going to check the Fiskars site:)

I've seen this every where on different blogs I have a feeling this will be a hard one to find! Who doesn't love it?
I hope you get your birthday wish the iphone is cool my DH got me one when they first came out. Love it!
love the color and design on this! no iPhone or iPod here, so no real "need" for this trimmer! LOL!
That is awesome! I will have to give my old Fiskars to my son, so I can have the new one. I love to scrap to tunes, but hate to carry speakers for the ipod...very innovative! (not to mention pretty!)
I might just want to hang that trimmer on the wall so I could just look at it it is so pretty!!!
