Xyron 500 Funeral (LOL)

Jan 29, 2007 13 Replies

Funeral arrangements have been made for the death of a much beloved scrapbooking tool.



Kate's much beloved, and highly used, Xyron 500, passed away last night after 8 years of use.



It's last hurrah was while adding adhesive to the back of the a small piece of paper as it had during the course of many endless scrapbook photographs, embellishments, and cardstock pass throughs. It's lid refused to stay down and after several attempts to resucitate, it was meant to move on to bigger and better things.



Although it will be sorely missed, the memories it helped to create will live on. Taps will be played at 5:00 p.m. est followed by a moment of silence as it is put into the recycling bin.

PS any ideas what I should get now? 550 or 900?



LOL. :-)

Can't offer any advice, though. I've got the 150 and the 510 that I'm hoping will last a lot longer than 8 years! :-)

Just checked the xyron website--the 900 looks really cool! Wonder if you can get it cheaper elsewhere...didn't see the 550 there though.

LOL! I know your Xyron will be terribley missed. May your next Xryon last you at least 10 yrs...

I have the X box and the 250 so I am no help.

LoL! Kate you a hoot! I have the4 x box and the 510. Love them both! Barb:o)

I have the 510 and the 900, I use the 510 way more than the 900. I would say it depends on the size of the things that you use the most. The cartridges for the 900 are more expensive and unless you are using really big pieces it would be a waste.

I picked up the 900 for less than $40 when Sizzix had a special sale or otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought it.

I have the 900 and love it!! Sorry to hear about your 500, I hope mine continues to keep going and going.....

LOL Oh dear. Poor Xyron 500....it had a good life, though. I know you gave it a long life full of love. :-)

I can't help you on the decision between the 550 or 900. I don't have either one. What's the difference in the two?

I have a 500 that I am not using anymore. Would you like it?

Sure, how much do you want for it? Let me know off board. I can be reached at happy2scrapbook NO SPAM @ AOL.COM

Hi. let me know your address and I'll take it to the post office and see how much it will cost to ship. I'll just charge you the shipping price.

Hi Connie,

Kate

Hi Kate, I sent out the Xyron today. Hope you enjoy this one as much as you did the last one. :)
