Cricut Expression

When I designed the "Opening Soon" flyers for my BFsF Emy and Vangie, I designed the clipart that went with it. Wow! Did they love it! They loved it so much they wanted to know if they can own it. They will adopt it as their logo. They asked it they can buy it from me. Well, I was ready to sell it for a life time of "take-me-home" dishes. Hahaha!

Vangie said they planned to have a logo designed anyway and they will probably spend hundreds of dollars for it. It was a very simple design...I was ready to give it away for free [well, not completely free...maybe a discount here and there when we need some food catering from them. What are friends for?

What are friends for, anyway? They knew I wouldn't accept cash for it so they insisted on buying me the Cricut. They asked me to choose...Cricut or Wishblade. I really have my eye on a Wishblade. However most of the reviews I read were not so great. I did some research and found out Wishblade's program is like using photoshop for the first time. I can deal with that. But then when a few customers mentioned that it would cut and stop for a few minutes and continue cutting and would stop again...I CANNOT deal with that! I have so much on my computer I'm sure another program added to it will slow it down. I have no patience for that!

For three days I couldn't make up my mind. So I went back to review both again. It's good I waited for out came Cricut Expression with a 12x12 mat and 2 free cartridges! OK now, I can do the dance of joy.... [Can-can music, please.]

I have to wait a few days, however as it is already out of stock. But Emy said the place they ordered it from has shipped it yesterday. I will probably receive it on Monday. Can't wait to start cutting away. Whooo-hoooo!
