Lets Make a DEAL!!

This should really be titled, "The Deal of a LIFETIME!" First, a couple of days ago, my sweet husband wanted to buy me an Ipod for Valentines Day but I was in Hobby Lobby (with him) and I mentioned I wanted a Cricut really bad (why? I don't really know, but they are way cool). I couldn't decide between a Cricut and an Ipod so I told him I wanted to think about it. We went to Best Buy and looked at Ipods but then found out that my cell phone could hold enough music to get me through a 45 minute treadmill 'workout'. So, for $25 I got a memory card for my phone and headphones. Ipod- not needed anymore! So, Cricut, here I come!
Brad and Jessica went to Goodwill last night and Jessica came in all excited and said they had a Cricut at Goodwill!! I went to look at it and it was only $55!! Yep, I said $55! I asked if it didn't work, could I bring it back and they said, "No, but you can try it out here." So they gave me paper and an electrical outlet and IT WORKED!!
Here's one of my first projects. It only came with one cartridge but it was oh so fun to cut it out!

Then, I decided to make these cute little bags which is also on the only cartridge I got! How fun. Jessica is Great!

Cute, cute, cute. Maybe you could make cute little wedding favor bags for the candy buffett as payment for that awesome (soon-to-be) daughter-in-law. (could I have used any more parantheeses?) Love you!

AHHH!! I can't believe what a great deal that is !! And I can't believe I can't ever find anything that amazing at our goodwill! Then again, I don't go that often. Those bags are so cute and it must be a pretty good cartridge!! Way to go!!

Okay, I am not a "paper addict" so I don't quite understand all the excitement about a bag. But, you seem very happy so... I am happy for you!
