I’m not a fan of hexagons however, after watching your video, I just might be persuaded to buy just so I can incorporate these into our Math lessons as we homeschool. Think fractions could be fun don’t you think?

    Hi, Laura – I saw this at the moment of the release and maybe in a few sample cards just before the site had the items available. I knew I had to watch my spending so I limited myself to just two or three items. This die set was one of the ones I chose. I looked back at the previous hexagon die set from about ?? 4 mos ago (maybe longer) and these hexagons (the larger ones) are larger than those. I knew I could combine them and make cool looks.
    Love your card! Very CAS and yet colorful.
    Love your stories just as much. That Emma is one lucky chica!! A rainbow and a puppy on your birthday?! Seriously, if she were older, I would have said “Go buy a lottery ticket!”
    Always looking forward to your next video and always hoping my khakis don’t end up chapped! 😂

    I LOVE your new dies and your fabulous card, Laura! The hearts are not in stock but those awesome ‘Sexy Hexies’ are going into my cart right now 🙂
    Loved hearing your story about Emma’s special birthday! As you know, the rainbow is a symbol of God’s promise, and no doubt her new puppy is an answer to Emma’s prayers! Bless her little heart…I wish her many years of happiness with him ~ Sending hugs and good vibes…Barb xx
