Yesterday I was out of sorts and am feeling more level headed today. Ice and elevation have helped get the swelling down enough to stop the throbbing in my hand, so I'm not so distracted this afternoon.
Let me be more specific about the flex frames so you can make an informed decision about whether you want to use them or not. I still like the idea of them, but personally won't be using them again any time soon.
I hurt my left hand opening one of these pouches. I'm right handed, and my left hand is not nearly as strong or flexible as my right hand.
I had to think back and wonder why I opened it with my left hand, and remembered it was to take a picture of it opened. Snapping a picture with my left hand won't work because I can't hold the camera still with it, so the only way to get a photo was be to hold the pouch open with my left hand.
So if you want to use these, keep in mind you should use your dominant hand to squeeze them open. They also are NOT good for anyone with hand issues--carpal tunnel, arthritis, etc.--or the hand strength to open them (i.e. kids).
They are stiffest when they are new, but will relax a bit with use. You can stick your fingers in between the two frame pieces to help open them until they soften up.
A few people wrote me and said they didn't need a refund, so at this point I'll leave it up to you. If you won't be using them, and want a refund, send me a convo through etsy and I'll send you a refund. The frames don't need to be returned. I'm not going to sell them anymore.

So I sprained my left hand squeezing one of these flex frames open! :0[
They close pretty securely, and I think it was just one of those freak things where I squeezed it just right to pull the ligaments in my hand. Anyway, it hurts like %$#, my hand is swollen and useless, and all around it just makes life a bit more challenging when one hand is out of commission.
If you ordered flex frames from me I will be sending you a refund. It might take a few days for me to get to your refund. It's slow going typing with one hand and it's hard to think with my throbbing hand. I also need to have the funds in either etsy or PayPal to issue the refund, and I regularly empty both accounts. So please be patient and I'll handle it as soon as I'm able.
If you use these, please be really careful. Personally, I would throw them out.
So sorry about the Flex Frame Fiasco of 2013. I hope no one else gets hurt. The good news for me is my clicking fingers were spared! Haha...I'm still able to pin and favorite things.
