Snap Pliers!

So I've been wanting snap pliers since I joined <A HREF=http://diaperdivas.proboards.com/index.cgi>diaper sewing divas</A>. I like snapped diapers. I also like aplix too, but having a snap pliers makes fixing things easier too. Haha.
Anyways, I've been wanting a set. But I just haven't had the spare money to buy them. The other week, my cell phone got disconnected. Ugh. I had a $300 bill because we recently had a family plan and didn't pay the bill. Then we (2 of my brothers) went to the cell store and split off into individual plans. I didn't realize that the old bill would roll over onto my new account. Sucky! So I didn't have the money to pay and yeah, disconnection. When I got paid on friday, I planned on making a payment. But then I figured even if I did make a payment, it wouldn't be enough to get my phone back on. So I decided to keep my paycheck and spoil myself. And to top it off (in a good way) it was my birthday on sunday. So I treated myself to some things. Me and Elliot went to Wal-Mart and I got some really nice earrings. And we got Nathan a toy. And I decided I deserved some snap pliers. I ordered them friday night. And I got them yesterday (monday) afternoon! Holy fastness!! I was so excited. First thing I did (after going through everything) was fix and old pair of flats I have. I bought them from urban outfitters. And then the buttons broke off. So I fixed them. And then later I put snaps on a diaper I had at my house. I keep all my diapers and sewing stuff at my grandma's in their apartment above the garage. I will say it is a much better idea to put snaps on before a diaper is sewn. I'm lucky it was a pocket but it took forever to put snaps on. And I don't think I got them as pressed as I could. Oh well, it turned out awesome.
I don't have any pics of the diaper I did, but I have pics of the pliers and my shoes that I fixed. Anyways, I think that's about it. Oh, pretty soon I'm going to learn how to use a serger. It actually might be a bit because my grandma was going to teach me but she just got home from the hospital. She's ok though.

Ok, time for pics.
