Toy Time

One Sunday afternoon, my friend Nikki came over to scrap with me and she pulls out this personal sized die cut machine. She taught me how to use it and so I was playing around cutting all sorts of things with it. I brought my husband into my craft room and showed him this cool little machine. I was thinking, "there is no way that my husband will ever agree to me buying something like this." So what does he say after seeing it work?, "Oh man, you gotta have one of these. This is so cool!!" So, ok I was really wrong in my thinking! So I researched it and did some price comparisons and finally found it at Walmart. They had the best price by far!! (There is no way I paid what the Cricut web site sells it for nor would I pay that much! - I really like it, but not that much!!)

So I'm in Walmart the other night getting a few things and I call my husband up and ask him again about it and make sure that we can do this and he says, "yes - we have money go ahead!" Whoo hooo!!!

So I get it home and unpack it and start trying to get the thing to cut and it's not cutting! So I try a few things that the "troubleshooting" says to do and still no cutting! ugh!!! So I call the help line and I actually get a voice in less then a minute and she walks me through another thing to do. I do as she asks and still - no cutting. She tells me that she will ship a new one within 3 to 5 business days and then I need to ship the broken one back! SWEEEEEEEET!!

So I am going to be getting my Cricut cutter = hopefully by Friday or next Tuesday!! I am hoping that I can have it before my scrapbooking trip!! Have any of you gotten this or tried it?

I love it and I know that I will be using it for my greeting cards - for sure!!

My husband ROCKS - he's the best!! Thanks babe for another birthday, Christmas, anniversary, home improvement, Easter, Valentine's Day, Mom's Day, because you love me..... gift!! :)
