Default My DH just suprised me with my dream cutter!!

A CRICUT EXPRESIONS!!!!! He calls me down stairs last night and brings me into my craft room. On my desk sat this huge box! He caught me off guard that I asked who it was for (LOL) because my present was wrapped under the tree upstairs. He said well that one was just a fake. The kids helped me open it and there sat the cutter of my dreams! I was so suprised that I sat there and cried my eyes out. He has had it for 2 weeks now and hidden in my craft room. I was so speechless I didn't know how to express myself. Trust me I am NEVER at a loss for words (LOL) . Thank you just didn't seem to cut it. I finally managed to say the words and still couldn't believe it was sitting on my craft desk Thanks for letting me share my story.

Theresa

Hi!
Congratulations, you'll love it.

Go to www.cricut.com and follow the home page link to the 2 cartridge rebate. If your sweet DH purchased the machine within the time frame, print out the rebate form, attach your original receipt, and a check for $7.95. In 6 to 8 weeks you'll receive 2 free cartridges, Printing 101 and My Community. DH can't keep a secret so I've had my machine since the 15th. So I sent for my free cartridges too.

Enjoy!!!!

Darn. I guess I missed the rebate offer because I don't see anything on the home page about it. Oh well.

Wow, it must be contagious! My DH surprised me with a Cricut Expression last Friday. He was going to wait until Christmas but since it was a really snowy stay-inside kind of weekend, he wanted me to have it early. Isn't it the best machine ever?

Definitely get the free cartridges! Also, eBay had alot for sale, most with free shipping too.

Too funny! I am already 2 hours behind schedule today between trying to figure out the machine, posting on SCS about it and now the fun of finding out that I am in time for the rebate

That is so sweet, I think the first thing that I would use to make with it would be a really sweet thank you card for my DH. Have a wonderful Christmas.

You had to see my face when he told me that! He must of hid it in the closets that we have in that room because I hardly go in them. I even laughed when I knew it was that close to me for TWO WEEKS

You will LOVE it!!! I have had mine for 2 years now and LOVE it!! I started with the baby bug and upgraded to the big E. If you have any questions we have a great thread over in Product and Tools. I also just started a Cricut Series of videos on my blog that might help. You can pm me if you need any more help. It's pretty easy to get started but there is a little learning curve.
