I was embossing a little piece of something and there was powder on my hand and it embossed my hand too. It hurt and when I scraped it off, my skin came with. Ouch.
Well, I haven't broken anything, but I did burn a lot of my hair off with a heat gun :oops: I was messing around wondering aloud how hot they got and I wasn't paying much attention until I smelled something burning... me! lol! I have short hair now- Much safer! I suppose the most remarkable thing was that my DH didn't bat an eye- just busines as usual at our house!

Bwwaahhaa haaaaaaa! I'm so sorry to laugh but this post is hilarious! I am a very visual person so I can just see it happening! (I can also see myself doing it!) You said "lol" so I'm laughing WITH you, not AT you. Really...I promise! :mrgreen:
I was pulling the "Safety" cap off of my exacto knife and sliced through my thumb. The cut was so deep i had to go to the Urgent Care and get stitches.
I bought the EK Success Coloriser heat embossing gun and while I was embossing my Christmas cards it caught on fire. Luckily I was doing this in the kitchen (not my craft room) and was able to run out and throw it in the snow. Needless to say I contacted EK about it and all I got was a canned response from them. But that is a whole other issue that I am still angry over.

I have also had the minor paper cuts, heat gun burns, and yes... even falling off my chair reaching for something. But the strangest injury happened while I was looking for a stamp set in my tall cabinet. One of my SU! sets in the plastic case fell out of my cabinet and the sharp corner scratched my knee. It wasn't deep or anything, but it's been over a year and I still have a one inch scar! It won't tan or go away... is there something in the plastic that prevents full healing? So weird...
I didn't know to trim my stamps way back before I was a demo and bought the set at a garage sale. So I just mounted them and started stamping. Realizing then that they should be cut, I pulled out the exacto knife. I didn't know the microwave trick. I was cutting my last stamp when the knife slipped. 5 stitches and a big scar on my finger later, I am just know beginning to use an exacto knife for anything again.
My MM paper piercing tool rolled off my table and I tried to catch it my lap. Somehow I managed to use one thigh to stab the pointy end about an inch into my other thigh. Now I know why my grandmother told me never to try to catch a falling sharp object!!!
I was also trimming ribbon off the roll in my ribbon rack and I got the snips to close to my hand while I was snipping and cut my finger. I did discover a new way to dye ribbon though!!:rolleyes:
