Cricut Machine anyone??

Even tho DH knew times are going to be tough for us he sacrificed his fun money for me and bought me one. He knows I love doing crafts and with his stashed cash (coins really do add up!!!!) DH got me a Cricut expression machine for Christmas from an informercial...(got to love those informercials). Even tho I was upset about the price I just LOVE it. He also gave me enough money to buy 5 cartridges which are not cheap. Which I in turn got REALLY smart and bought them off ebay at a fraction of the price. Instead of 5 if bought from a store with the amount of money he gave me I got 17 off of ebay. Anyway does anyone own one and how do you like the machine. My DH is just the sweetest man instead of spending money on himself he thought of me. Got to love him.

My parents and my dh all chiped in to buy one for me for Christmas.

I also just ordered a couple of cartriges off of ebay...but... it will remain unused until Feb 18th (all day scrap day) since I dont have time to even think about it while in school....

My friend has one and she has made me some things... plus she is a disney freak and I saw all the Disney stuff she made.... they are really neat machines...

I LOVE my Cricut machine. I have had it for 2 years now. It is the BEST scrapbooking tool EVER. For really cheap cartridges look at:

Custom Crops

http://scapbookpal.com

They BOTH have GREAT prices and FAST shipping!

Talking Love it...

Stood in line at 4:00 am on the day after Thanksgiving to save $40 on the bundle at ACMoore. Yea, I'm that nuts. I sat on a bench wrapped in my two year olds' ABC blanket! Haven't had too much time to use it yet- sick baby at Christmas, but have loved it so far! Karen
