I was doing some scout work at my Michael's today. I *think* I am going to get Animal Kingdom. I am less concerned about getting the font carts now that I have Sure Cuts Alot.

[mrp4352]

Thanks for the info!!! I have my list in order and I've given it to my Mom since I can't make it to Michael's tomorrow. YEA!! I'm getting a new cartridge!!:woohoo:

[TinkerKat]

Hopemax... & company
You do all realize that ACMoore will "PRICE MATCH" Michael's sale price:thumbsup2

I didn't realize how ultimately cute the Paper dolls cartridge is. It's a must have;)

[hopemax]

Yes, I did, but until AC Moore makes it way out west...

[TinkerKat]

Awwww. If you want I can purchase here in East and ship West:lovestruc

Or is that called "enabling":rotfl2:

[party of 3]

oh i so have to go and check this out. my michael's never has a good selection. i hoping to find paper dolls.

[mantaz]

Walmart price matches too don't they? Anyone know if Joann's does? I have a gift card for there and would love to be able to use it!!

[clh2]

Walmart price matches too don't they? Anyone know if Joann's does? I have a gift card for there and would love to be able to use it!!

WalMart does price match. :cool1: That's how I got my bug in the first place.:cool1: I scoped out the carts yesterday at Walmart, and they had didly squat.

I'm going to be really good with this one today. I do not NEED any cartridges. And I only have 6.

Have fun witht his sale ladies!

[Kim1964]

I'm so glad to see the list of what M's has..........makes me feel better about my decision NOT to go to the sale:). The only cart on the list that I kind of want is HEA, but I am going to wait until after our trip to see if I need it or one of the Pooh carts more:). The thing that is tempting me more is the 50% off Cuttlebug stuff, but I am trying to stay strong!

Hmm. 18 out of 25. Thanks for saving me a trip to the store to see what they had! I can resist the ones I don't already have. Now I can stay in and scrap all day.

[Tiggerkeeper]

Thanks to all of you for the heads up on the carts. :woohoo: Since I just had the four carts that came with my Expression I needed to shop! LOL! I stopped at 3 though. I got the Mickey and Friends, Mickey Font, and Christmas Cheer. Unless there is an intervention I'll probably go back and get the Jasmine and Alphalicious. :rotfl: I think I am officially addicted!

I have completed three pages for the new grandson and I am working on a Disney book I should have finished 4 years ago!!

THANK YOU!!:banana:

[Mickey'sfriend]

Got there shortly after the door opened this morning. (I went to early church, so no problem there!) Picked up Opposites Attract and Doodlecharms. I'm set for carts now. (Though I don't have nearly as many as some of you!) I'll wait for Pooh to hit the stores and go on sale.

[Mickey'sfriend]

Forgot to add that the Cricut Expression is on sale, too. $319.

[hopemax]

Wow! It was like the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas! I got to the Michaels about 3 minutes before opening and there were like 30 people outside! Not only did they have the cage, but the fixture that normally has the seasonal Martha items...one side and an endcap was just full of pegs with carts. But the ladies were all taking 3, 4, 5, 6 carts. I got my Paper Dolls, and my 20 rolls of ribbon (I need an intervention) and was out in less than 15 minutes.

I'm glad I went at opening though, because I don't know how long things will last.

[tikilyn]

I hit Michael's today too. I was the only one in the scrapbooking section too. In fact I was there two hours early:lmao: . I got so excited I forgot they opened at 10 instead of 9. I picked up four carts :Happily ever after, Dreams come true, Doodlecharm, and animal kingdom. I think I see a pattern here (disney). I already have the two Mickey's carts and have a total of 8 carts. I also picked up 5 spools of ribbon, two of the big Cuttlebug embossing folders and a very small black organizer bag. LOL

Hope dh doesn't see the 200.00 missing out of our account:rotfl2: I told him I was getting a couple of carts.

[Michellepooh]

I got Cutting Up and Doodlecharms, as well as about 20 rolls of ribbon! I did get some activity books for DS, so it wasn't a completely selfish shopping trip. Let's hope DH doesn't inspect the credit card bill too closely this month!! :eek:

Claire and I were there this morning when they opened at 10. There were only 4 or so people besides me waiting for them to open the door (although I only awited about 2 minutes). I got Doodlecharms, Christmas Cheer and Paper Dolls.:cool1:

I also bought Claire the Cuttlekids and a few dies. She is sitting there right now bugging me to open it. DH put her craft table that is normally in the corner of the kitchen in here next to mine, so we can scrap together. She is too cute!:cutie:

Can I come to your house to scrap???!!! I need to show some of these lists to my DH who complains about my purchases and I think I only have 11-12ish carts!

:rotfl2: Four people for me too. There was also a lady with her daughter there. :rotfl2:

I ended up getting Fabulous Finds, New Arrivals and Cutting Up. Along with $17 worth of ribbon and one cuttlekids die. $150 later. :rotfl:

[YodasMom]

For someone who isn't that crazy about her bug, primarily because I still have trouble cutting Bazzill which I use soley for cardstock, I bought 5 cartridges!! I got Dreams Come True, Happily Ever After, Fabulous Finds, Doodlecharms, and Alphalicious!

People were pretty aggressive right at 10 AM when I was there. I took the ones I wanted and a few extras to look at away from the rack. Then, I stood there and just watched people. Very entertaining!! They were carrying stacks!! The one that was mostly left behind was Paper Dolls, at my 2 local stores.

Just wondering...Do you all like Jasime cart.? Or, is the font too narrow to safely remove from the pad without damaging it?

[hopemax]

So since so many of us bought ribbon, what kind did everyone get?

I've been buying the "spool of ribbon" (5/$1)the last couple of sales so now I have most of the colors in 1/8" and 1/4". Still a few more to pick up but they didn't have any left (like 1/4" black). And then I got a few rolls of the "dashes,dots,checks." ($1) I could have bought more but I was trying to be good (as if 20 rolls is good :rolleyes1)

I think maybe I need to go back and get some ribbon. I forgot!! LOL!! I like the new stuff that is sparkly.

I didn't use my 40% off coupon either. :eek:

Were you by chance at the Voice of America one?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Were you by chance at the Voice of America one?

Nope, but I almost went to that one. I went to the one off Fields Ertel, because I want to go to Archivers afterwards.

Glad to know there is someone on here that is so close to me! :goodvibes

[Lease]

I went to the local Michael's at opening expecting a small crowd and had the store to myself for 20 minutes. :) The DH said I had a 1 cart limit (he's stifling my creativity, or taking notes for our anniversary later this week). After much debate I picked up walk in my garden, but the Mickey Font was calling my name.

Lease

[Mrs.Charming]

I ended up getting Animal Kingdom and a bunch of cats eye ink pads. My store was very busy but they had a nice selection.

[BernardandMissBianca]

I got Alphalicious and Dreams Come True. The store was busy but not that particular aisle. There was a husband in my way though. :scared: Not my husband but a husband none the less. My man knows better than to get in between me and my bug. I also got the kids some scratch books and some rub ons for me. $130 later....:scared1:

I really want the Pooh ones though.

I thought I read you weren't going to get any more carts??:rotfl:

[BernardandMissBianca]

I thought I read you weren't going to get any more carts??:rotfl:

Who me??? Nah, I just said I need an intervention, but no one intervened! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

ETA the best thing about the trip was I saw a to-die-for dress in the Dress Barn window, I just need to drop about 20 pounds by May 31. I wonder if I can do it???

[PrincessNancy96]

what is going on May 31.. did I miss something?? My kids don't graduate then and I know yours aren't..what's going on????

I stayed home.. had I know you really need an intervention I would have come to your rescue!!!

[rlovew]

I got Animal Kingdom- that was the only one outside of the Pooh carts I have really been thingking about getting. I didn't see it in the aisle but when we went to pay there was another rack and it was there. I went to Joanns too for their paper sale- I only buy patterned paper for specific projects and i hadn't gotten what I needed for swaps due over the next couple of months.

my cousin is getting married on Cape Cod, and I need to whip my butt into shape, and continue after the wedding so I look all hot and what not for our DIS Scrap meet in August.

I need a food intervention more than a Cricut intervention. :rolleyes1

I totally need a food intervention. I am forever snacking and all those calories certainly add up over the day.

[PrincessNancy96]

Yeah, me too... :)

My Dsis is getting married next July...so I need to find a smokin' dress.. gotta out do the bride w/out TOTALLY out doing her! LOL

[AlexWyattMommy]

Let's go shopping together!


She's not going to make you were a funky bridesmaid dress?

My DSis did. Wish I could find a picture of that. I'll have to ask her if she saved them all digital yet.

[PrincessNancy96]

No, no funky bridesmaid dress.. I wasn't even invited in the bridal party but she keeps telling DD that the dresses are going to cost 200.00 each.. I told DD to tell her next time that DD hasn't even got permission to be in the wedding because no one has talked to her financial advisors and last time I checked DD didn't even do her chores at home and I know I don't drop her off at work! LOL

The colors she has are a coral peach and a brilliant blue.. I'll have to pull the colors for you sometime...

[logan&tylersmama]

Just wondering...Do you all like Jasime cart.? Or, is the font too narrow to safely remove from the pad without damaging it?

i dont care for Jasime - the only thing i use it for is the photo corner
I can never get it to come off the paper without damaging it. And i am sure you will have a hard time with it with bazzill
Just a thought

[AlexWyattMommy]

Me too. I have a really hard time with that font. But it is just so darn pretty.

[logan&tylersmama]

Can I come to your house to scrap???!!! I need to show some of these lists to my DH who complains about my purchases and I think I only have 11-12ish carts!

SURE - come on over!!
I hide my carts in a dresser - so only about 10 are out at a time - my husband KNOWS i have a lot - but I also work fulltime and i have a father who likes to shop! :)
Jennifer

[BernardandMissBianca]

Yeah, me too... :)

Oh please!! skinny Minnie! You so do not need to lose any weight.

[PrincessNancy96]

Yep, the Jasmine carts gives me fits at times too!!!!
Ok, off to feed the kids before they where out the hinges on the door.. what like they never eat.. oooh, here comes one again.... gee whiz.. I start finding good info for genealogy.. chatting w/ the girls here..and they want to interrrupt me...

I love Jasmine! It's so elegant! you do have to be careful when pulling the letters off but it's so cute.

maybe not lose..but tone!!!!

[BernardandMissBianca]

BUFFY - weight watchers! It works - not a stich of exersize and i am down 35 pounds since November. FEELS GREAT!!!
Jennifer

I know, I need to do it but I'm not into the whole group thing. I do have the points at home thing but I get in such a rut with food, especially cooking dinner. I have no idea how to point homemade foods.
Tomorrow I start! Now that it's getting warmer I can take DD walking again. I want to join a gym and they just opened Work Out World near here but I would feel so out of place at a gym. But then I feel guilty for not being home cleaning, yada yada. the typical mom cycle.
I'd really like to lose 80 lbs total, who knows how long that will take! :rolleyes:

[momx3boys]

Is this sale for today only? Thanks!!

[BernardandMissBianca]

maybe not lose..but tone!!!!

I'd rather be toning!http://bestsmileys.com/exercising/13.gif

[BernardandMissBianca]

should be through the 12th.

[New England Eeyore]

So I went after all. You know how I said I was going to stay home and scrap all day? Well the strangest thing happened. I got the urge to clean the house. That NEVER happens. So I spent the whole day cleaning the entire upstairs. I threw out 2 garbage bags full of stuff and the place looks terrific. While cleaning, I made myself a list of stuff I needed at Target. Somehow, on the way to Target, my car just drove itself over to Michael's! I got some ribbon and stickers and then I decided to get New Arrival. I end up doing a fair amount of baby-themed gifts and after looking at the prices of stickers I realized this was a much better investment in the long run. That makes 31 cartidges. Somebody tell me when the next Cricut Anonymous meeting is.

Now I really do plan to hunker down with some swaps for the evening. I'm hoping tomorrow morning I can tackle cleaning the downstairs, but today may have just been a temporary blip - we'll see.

Oh, and count me in on another one that HATES Jasmine. Impossible to use except in Shadow or in very large size. And definitely not with Bazzil.

[BernardandMissBianca]

can you come over and clean my house next?

I did spend all day yesterday in the boys room and filled 1 full black bag of trash and 1 XXL ziploc bag filled with toys to go to Salvation Army. I cut the toys down by 1/2. Now to tackle the toys in the loft! :scared:

[momx3boys]

should be through the 12th.

Thanks Buffy!

I really would like alphalicious or base camp. I will have to go tomorrow and see if they have any. :)

[party of 3]

i went and got my paper dolls that i have been wanting for soooo long and doodlecharms. oh and since i had the 40% coupon i bought the pumpkin sizzix with the faces. i just could not let the coupon go to waste right?!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I don't remember saying you could buy more Sizzix?

Will you cut me out six pumpkins?


:rotfl2:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thanks Buffy!

I really would like alphalicious or base camp. I will have to go tomorrow and see if they have any. :)

If they don't have it, I do. Still in it's plastic clam shell. My sweet DH got me that instead of Stretch Your Imagination. They don't even look the same, but I know not to complain out loud. :rotfl2: So if you want to trade, let me know.

[party of 3]

I don't remember saying you could buy more Sizzix?

Will you cut me out six pumpkins?


:rotfl2:

ooohhh i'm sorry. i forgot to ask......:confused3 ;)

i sure will. do you want the short fat or the big tall? and how about the faces? i think it has 2 faces right??

[AlexWyattMommy]

ooohhh i'm sorry. i forgot to ask......:confused3 ;)

i sure will. do you want the short fat or the big tall? and how about the faces? i think it has 2 faces right??

Three of each and surprise me with the faces. Do you want me to send paper?

[party of 3]

Three of each and surprise me with the faces. Do you want me to send paper?

you got it! and nope don't need the paper. something tells me i have some just waiting to be used!!!! i love paper. i just buy it to buy it! - ya know how that goes.....:rolleyes1

oh and i went to big lots and got all kinds of stuff over there. and ac moore too (yesterday)..... i picked up the karate suit for the sizzix since ds just started lessons and it was so cute i could not pass it up.

[coastermom]

I bought two carts... Went to get Cuttin up and got beyond birthdays too . I am still unsure on beyond birthdays maybe bringing it back I didn't open it yet but I am sure maybe should have gotten the birthday one first ?? I just am so confused :confused3 . Gotta go now though any advice on weather or not to keep it and what to go get if I return it .

[lovingthemouse]

I confess, I went there today too! Guess I just lacked the will power, but somehow taking a friend along made me feel less guilty!
Only got Doodlecharms, which I had wanted, a few stickers, one punch and some ribbon!! Spent the rest of the day scrapping and having a great time.

[ColleenG]

Thank God DH doesn't look at the credit card bills. I planned on getting Cutting Up, but they also had Base Camp and Alphalicious, so I got those too. Who can pass up $40 Cricut cartridges? :rolleyes1 So hid those and the book of princess paper that was on clearance. I started looking around at some other stuff and then decided I had better high tail it out of there before I found more stuff. I need to join the ban wagon. I have so much stuff I don't know what I have. I've even bought stuff I already have that I didn't know I had. Off to find the ban wagon thread.

[vanyel]

I had a bit of a meltdown in Michaels - it sounds really dumb now that I'm home writing about it but... I was so excited - I wanted Walk in my garden and there it was on the shelf. I take it checkout and discover that they're out of that one. They had put all the cricut carts on a special display that wasn't even remotely close to the cricut or scrapbook section and forgot to take the empty boxes off of the shelf.

I asked if I could get a raincheck, since this wasn't my error but their's and the clerk told me too bad, basically and that the manager wasn't around. I bought Teardrop (is that a good one?) and left upset. Then I called the store asked to speak to the manager, who happened to be available, and she apologized, told me it was their error and I wasn't the only one who had that happen, and told me they'd call me when Walk in my Garden came in.

Do I sound like a complete idiot here?

No, you don't sound like a complete idiot!!! That clerk should have had more customer service.. it's not like you threatened to throttle her or anything... Good thing you called the store because at least you got on the list to be called when the cart came in. Now, are they going to give it to you at the sale price? :hug:

I have the Celebrations one and I'm not real keen on it. Too many balloons, and numbers and not enough words.

I do have beyond birthdays and I haven't used it a lot, but more then the first one. I don't make a lot of cards. But the ones I did make (other than Christmas) I used this cart.

I bought Teardrop (is that a good one?) and left upset. Then I called the store asked to speak to the manager, who happened to be available, and she apologized, told me it was their error and I wasn't the only one who had that happen, and told me they'd call me when Walk in my Garden came in.

Do I sound like a complete idiot here?


No. They should have removed any carts that weren't in stock before such a big sale. That is just common sense folks.

Wish I knew, the Michaels I went to had quite a few Walk in my Garden. Did you want me to go check?

[Raenstoirm]

I was there yesterday and of course bought a cart! How long does this sale last? I was thinking of checking out other local Michaels this week to see if they have some of the newer carts (not likely I realize), but that means I will have to buy a few more since I cant leave a store empty handed! :laughing:

[vanyel]

No, you don't sound like a complete idiot!!! That clerk should have had more customer service.. it's not like you threatened to throttle her or anything... Good thing you called the store because at least you got on the list to be called when the cart came in. Now, are they going to give it to you at the sale price? :hug:

My dd said I overreacted :confused3 The manager said that she was writing up a raincheck with my name on it for the sale price. I don't think I was the only one that had this happen. I wouldn't have been upset if the box hadn't been on the shelf.

Thanks AWM for the offer - I think I'll wait and see if it comes in.

Does anyone have/like teardrop?

[New England Eeyore]

I don't think you overreacted either. At least the manager did the right thing. Chalk it up to a worker with a bad attitude. I know I encountered one on my trip to Mike's yesterday.

I have Teardrop. I like it and use it a lot. I don't know the word I'd use to describe it - it's not fancy, but maybe fanciful? The "drops" at the end of the letters make it kind of fun.

[Yzerbear19]

I didn't go because I need to save the money for my trip in 20 days!!! :banana: I might go later in the week and see which ones they don't have left and see if I want any and get a raincheck.

[coastermom]

OK after really looking at the carts I decided to get the celebrations one . I think I will use it way more then beyond birthdays . I did keep the cuttin up thought . that is it I am not going back anymore this week as it can be very tempting to buy more . ;) . I did want the disney carts but with the ages of my kids I don't see using them at all . I would love an amusement park cart now that I could really use .:rotfl2: :lmao: . I bet no one else could but in my family we could use it .:thumbsup2

[happycampers]

Does anyone have/like teardrop?

I have it and like it. The font is nice, and I like the balloons and the "happy birthday" on it. DD picks that font frequently when doing school projects. I don't know how well it would do with Bazzill, though. I use a thinner, smooth cardstock with that one since the letters are kind of skinny.

I was able to pick up Paper Doll Dress Up today. I've really been wanting that one. (I didn't realize that they didn't do rainchecks on sales like that. Otherwise, I would've been there yesterday.) I picked up one of the Princess carts, but put it back since I'm on the ban wagon (PDDU is on my list of exemptions).

[Yzerbear19]

(I didn't realize that they didn't do rainchecks on sales like that. Otherwise, I would've been there yesterday.) that's weird because the Michaels near me does rainchecks.

[happycampers]

that's weird because the Michaels near me does rainchecks.

Maybe it depends on the store. I thought they did, but since the original clerk had refused vanyel an RC, I figured that meant that they didn't issue them.:confused3

[disneynut14]

Just came from M's and left with 2 carts. Yikes!! :scared1: Add that to my cuttlebug purchase this weekend and I have done some serious damage. I decided to get Celebrations and Animal Kingdom. Now I just have to decide when the right moment will be to bring them in from the car. I need my DH to be out of the house so he can't see how much I spent this weekend. Of course I bought a couple of packs of Bazzill too!!!

I don't know how you Ban Wagoners do it. My hat is off to you!!! :worship: Half of the fun of scrappin is all the shopping!!

[RLccweems]

:banana: Just got my sale paper!

I just got home from there and I got 3 new ones!! :cool1: :cool1:

[ddavis860]

I went to Mike's today, and mine was LOADED with carts. I got Dreams Come True :banana: I had Paper Dolls in my hand, but put it back and got some Cuttlebug stuff instead at 50% off. Then I ran out of the store before anything else could jump in my cart...

[vanyel]

I honestly think I had a fairly new employee who really didn't care at all about the situation. Plus there was a line and she didn't want to bother with it. And I was very pleasant until she became rude with me.

I should have handled it better and insisted on talking to the manager while I was there instead of leaving the store in a tizzy!

[moikturtle]

I gave in and ended up buying Dreams Come True, Happily Ever After, Animal Kingdom, and Paper Dolls. I already had bought ZooBalloo and Makin' the Grade back when I first got my machine. I'm kind of hoping that Walmart might put 50 States on clearance (since Michael's doesn't carry it) because their regular price is $60, but that's still a little too steep for me.

[ijlmcooper]

www.creativexpress.com has great prices on many cartridges! All education cartridges (including 50 states) is on sale right now...I believe it's $44.99...check it out! I've bought many of mine there!

I broke down and bought 2 (paper dolls and going places) from Mike's yesterday too!

[Kimbere]

I just picked up the Happily Ever After yesterday! :woohoo: It's the one with Belle, Beast, Ariel, Pochantas and Jasime & Aladdin. I'm contemplating whether I want to keep it or not. How difficult is it to cut and piece the characters together? I've already purchased Jolee's for Belle & Ariel...but could use them as well or return them. :) I currently own:

George
All Mixed Up
Disney Mickey Fonts
Disney's Mickey & Friends
Going Places
Opposites Attract

I would like to get another font cartridge this week at Michael's...possibly in place of Happily Ever After. What is your favorite cartridge and why? :goodvibes

[JandJ]

My Cricut (finally) arrived yesterday and I haven't even gotten it all set up yet, but I was in Michael's last night for a cake decorating class and while everyone else from the class was buying cake items, I got the Doodlecharms cart :goodvibes

If you have a Joann's, go check them out. They price match. I think they had 50 states last night at the one near me. I also go the markers for the cricut with my 40% off coupon!

Good idea. I bet Wal Mart would price match Michael's ad price for the 50 States, too.

[ltldeb]

I picked up Dreams Come True and Happily Ever After last night. I was looking for Teardrop but they didn't have it. I might stop at another store tonight and see if they do.

[arizonacolbys]

My cricut wont' arrive until tomorrow, but I ran to M's yesterday & bought my first 2 carts! Mickey & Friends & Happily Ever After - I'd also love the Pooh & Friends, but didn't see it there. :goodvibes

I would keep it, but that is JMO. The characters are difficult if you cut them too small, but there are lots of other fun things on the cart.

I'm not sure which one is my favorite. There are several that I tend to favor. I like Alphalicious, Base Camp, and Stamped. Cutting Up is really cute and useful as well. Opposites Attract is so versitile. And Paper Dolls has probably the most extra features that aren't shown on the box that can be used for tons of things.

[Honeybehr1]

I caved in and went to just "look" to see what catridges Micheals had :lmao: yeah look I ended up getting the Mickey Font. I was going to get a walk in the garden but when I saw the box for the paper dolls one I really wanted that one. But unfortunately they were sold out. hhmmm got in my car and then decided to call another Mikes a couple of towns over and it was the LAST one they had. Drove up and snagged that one up. It has so many cute accessories on it.

[moikturtle]

Good idea. I bet Wal Mart would price match Michael's ad price for the 50 States, too.

That was actually something I tried to do this afternoon at my local Wal-Mart. I already had the Michael's ad in my purse, so I grabbed a 50 States cartridge and went to the checkout with it. I asked them if it was true that they price matched and they said yes, but they would need to see the ad. So I presented them with the ad and the woman sat there perplexed for a while before going over to the woman at the counter at the front of the store. That woman said she didn't think they would be able to price match it, but she would have to go and check in the back with the manager. So after waiting a while she came back and said that she was told no because "that cartridge is not in the picture." Keep in mind that the picture for the ad only has THREE cartridges in it (one of the princess ones, one of the fonts, and Paper Dolls). I pointed out that the picture really shouldn't make any difference because the writing itself says "entire stock of Cricut cartridges" and along with that "27 styles available." I tried to explain that to them, but apparently that didn't matter because 50 States was not in the picture.

At first I was going to take that and just go elsewhere, but then I decided no, that's false advertising for them to say they price match and then refuse to do so based on ridiculous reasons (had they given a more logical argument than "it's not in the picture" I probably would have let it be). So I turned right back around and asked the woman who had gone back to the manager if I could please speak with the manager. I thought that maybe it was like a game of telephone and something wasn't getting communicated to her properly. So she walked all the way back with me, went behind the doors with my ad and the cartridge, and came back about five minutes later telling me that everything was fine and I could pay for it. So they rang it up, no problem, but then refused to give my ad back to me because apparently they needed the entire thing as "proof"...so I lost one of my 40% off coupons in the process. :sad2: Luckily I had an extra this week.

So that is the story of how I got my 50 States cartridge for $39.99. I will remember the work that went into acquiring it everytime I use it for my class. ;)

I had the same problem today...I bought 3 new carts on Sunday, but made the mistake of going to buy replacement blades today. The Mickey Font "jumped" in my basket. :rolleyes1 I think I might need Cricut Anonymous...anyone else?

[ltldeb]

I sent DH to Michael's last night while I was working and he was able to get Tear Drop for me. I think I'm good for a while. :)

Ooohhh, such a nice DH!!

[ltldeb]

Ooohhh, such a nice DH!!

He's a keeper! :woohoo:

[PamCo88]

Well, I had to work all day Sunday for inventory. My DH called the store for me to see if they had mickey font and cutting up in stock. I had written a specific list and those were the top 2. He spoke to a manager who said they had no idea what he was talking about, that they didn't have carts by either of those names. Needless to say I was angered.

On Monday I couldn't get there so Tues while DS had Group, I ran over there and was able to get both. Today I wen over to ACM to return Mickey font bought last week and price match My Community. So, I was a very bad girl and have added 4 carts in a week and a half. I won't need any more for a long time. This will give me 6 (George and Mickey and Friends) Now I just have to find a way to use them.

My Mikes had a lot of carts today just sitting out which they never do. I was shocked to see real product on the floor.

[aroyer]

I read on the Cricut boards that this sale may run through the end of the month. Not sure if this is a fact- but here's hoping!

[BernardandMissBianca]

ohhh, maybe they will get some of the new stuff in!!!

[aroyer]

I broke down and got Dreams Come True... I would love to price match Pooh and Friends at CreativeExpress, but I think I had better stop.

[hopemax]

I went back to Michaels today but was strong and didn't get another cartridge. If they had had Doodlecharms, I would have. The cage was completely empty and there weren't very many on the rack by the door either . They had a lot of the princess cartridges and Alphalicious, a few Mickey & friends, Making the Grade and Fabulous Finds and then like 1 each of Animal Kingdom, Paper Pups, Walk in My Garden, Going Places. If it wasn't for everything going on here I would have bought Animal Kingdom, but I didn't need it that badly. Plus, I think we're going to Hobby Lobby tomorrow. :goodvibes

[lovingthemouse]

Our 9 yr old dgs is coming tomorrow and he has a project on the Hopi Tribe. So I got this bright idea to buy the Paper Dolls cart. Called M's and they were out, I mean it is Friday, so I headed to ACM, where they still had some. Since I had my M's flyer with me, they matched the price and added an extra 10% discount.

So, i get to work and after a good hour +, I created an adorable Native American girl. Can't believe it!! Tomorrow I'll feel good about showing my dgs how to make his own. Wow, I feel good. :thumbsup2 Who says you can't teach an "old " grandmother new tricks????? :confused3

Congrats!!! That reminds me... DS is doing a report on Wales for his big final project in social studies.. better do some research on traditional outfits for the Welsh men and women and create us some dolls to add to his big display!!! :)

[lovingthemouse]

For those of you who have made these dolls, how have you created the eyes? As you can see from my pix 2 posts up, that what needs to be completed. Thanks

[BernardandMissBianca]

I just stick a black piece of paper on the back. I'm holding out for the peachy keen face stamps.

[PrincessNancy96]

I made 3 basketball players for my kids... rough try..and I used the Peachy Keen stamp faces.. I'll photograph them tomorrow and post them for you...

[mommyoftwinfants]

OK ladies I just had to stop by Michaels yesterday and I bought both Princess carts, animal kingdom, and paper dolls and my mom bought me going places, christmas cheer and doodle charms. I have had me E for over 6 months and haven't bought any carts except for Mickey and Friends and just couldn't help my self :) Off to have some fun playing.

[amyy]

How do you know about the sales? I just looked at Michael's site and picked the store closest to me and it says there is no sales this week. Could it be only in certain states? I don't have any circut stuff but I starting to think my life will not be complete without it :)

[hopemax]

Michaels doesn't have a sale every week, but on weeks they do you can find them on the website. This sale was for last week. Since you couldn't find anything this week, I'm guessing this is an "off" week.

There is usually someone who will post ads in advance on either the 2Peas message board or the Cricut message board, and if there are any really good deals someone will post it here too.

[fireplug]

I picked up Dreams Come true at the sale price. Looking forward to some practice before the big trip in July!
