I'm scared .....

See that??  Know what it is??  It is my new Cricut Expression Chad bought me for Valentine's Day.  See, I'm a night owl and was up watching all my tivo'd Real Housewives of whatever, Nip/Tuck, J&K+8, Wedding Central (b/c HELLO, deep down I want to be a wedding planner), etc etc etc .... well, I fell asleep and woke up to an infomercial about this thing.  Now, my girl here is a scrapbooking, Cricut WHIZ and she has the orginal cricut. She said if I bought the new one, because it CUTS to 24" big, I could use all of her cartridges.  We could use it TOGETHER .... so after much comparing, etc, I finally did it (it took about 2 1/2 months before I ordered it).  It came, I opened it and I promptly shut it back.  There is SO much to this machine but I am IN LOVE .... I got all the vinyl too b/c I love the vinyl stuff -- it's all over my house.   I love monogramming and was in this cute little store in Acworth, GA when I was home for Thanksgiving -- I bought some stuff and they asked if I wanted it monogrammed.  I told them I didn't live here but said "This is done using the cricut, isn't it?" and she said "It shore is!" ... and that's when I decided I could. not. live. without. it.  They wanted $10 for a 3 letter monogram and vinyl costs about $5 for a HUGE sheet ..... so there you have it.



As soon as I figure out how to master this joker, EVERYBODY will be getting stuff.  I can't help it .....
