I was @ Walmart for all the sales (not Cricut stuff). I bumped into the cricut area & found some neat ones. But, I still had more shopping to do at Michaels & ACMoore. Went to Michaels & they had a bunch of cartridges, only a few styles & nothing I was crazy about. The were out on the floor, not locked up. I looked in the locked cabinet & they had a bunch more styles. They had a really neat one for school w/ sayings etc. I was gonna get it & then I noticed hiding behind a bunch of others the faeire box. Could it be? It was the "tink & faeries" cartridge (not sure the name). I was so excited. Headed over to AC Moore, but they didn't have anything I wanted (I did pick up their adhesive special $5 & their 3-D sticker special $10). So, today went to wAlmart & pciked up the two I really liked there: Storybook is even better then I could see on the box. I recommend it for anyone whose ever been to Disney. So much I'll be able to do with it. And then I got "Sans Serif" cart. Its basically grade school print. So, I'll be able to make alphabet books for DS, etc. I've never seen them packaged that way before. It comes in a plastic casing & no book, just a pamphlet. I really wanted the cars one, but no one had them. So, what did you all pick up?

I just picked up one tonight from Michael's- they were still 29.99!! I got Opposites Attract. It looks pretty good- they had about 20 different kinds and all the Disney ones.

I took the lazy way out and ordered $29 carts on line from custom crops -- locker talk, joy of the seasons and cuttin up.

I'm sorry you were not at my Michael's. They had a bunch of the Tinkerbelle, Cars, Pooh, Mickey, Princesses, etc. The more experienced Cricut ladies said there were new ones they had never seen before.
I bought my Cricut BF and did not get to "pre-browse' cartridges, so I just grabbed a few....I got Beyond Birthdays, Mickey and Friends, and Stretch Your Imagination. Right now, I am just excited to have my Cricut, so I am happy with the included Don Juan cart!

Our Michaels had a good amount of carts, just not much I wanted.

As much as I wanted to go, I stayed home. I needed a jammie and barefoot day to do laundry. And, I spent a small fortune at WDW last week ;)

I had no intention of going to Michaels. My sister lives literally across the street from one, and we went over there Thanksgiving evening. I got a Tinkerbell cart. and a jukebox. I didnt know they even had a Tink one!! I guess I should have gotten a second jukebox but that can really wait. This was money I was going to use at WDW next weekend, but my guy friend (not BF.... yet) hurt his back (but I have 2 other trips coming up so all is good!)

The other thing is that I ended up going back twice on Friday.... :rotfl:

I got Celebrations, Doodlecharms, and Fabulous Finds. Also got a 2nd jukebox. I am putting together what I need to do for about 7 vacations (haven't even started the 6 Disney trips) so I am pulling things together and will then probably spend a weekend cutting. After Mousefest, of course.

i got calligraphy, sports mania, cars, mini monograms and tinker bell.
DH and my father told me they would buy some carts for my birthday!!!
so much easier to shop for birthday presents i actually want.
still not sure if i will keep calligraphy (havent opened it yet) the font seems to skinny to me - i am not comfortable with skinny
and not to sure about sports mania (still in the box) but i figured DS's will get into sports sometime.
I REALLY wanted wild card, hello kitty or sesame street -
guess i will have to send my dad out to hobby lobby for a cart finding mission.
he loves a challenge.

I can't wait for Hello Kitty to come out. I keep seeing the Sizzix dies at Joann's and have to restrain myself from buying them! I'm waiting (not so patiently) for the Cricut carts!

I am right there with you on that one..

I did read on the cricut boards that there was one different website selling HK for $50 and creativexpress was price matching that price this entire week.

Have you looked at Custom Crops? I saw earlier this week they had the 12x12 mats on sale for 5.99. I think the others you mentioned might be on sale as well.

Just checked and under "Cyber Monday Sale" they still have the mats on sale with a lot of other cricut items.

I was bad. I ordered 2 carts from Custom Crops the other day. The carts were only 29.99. I got JOTS and Stamped. I also ordered the jukebox because it was only 39.99 and the whole thing had free shipping.

What a bargain!

Let's see...I purchased Sports Mania and Christmas Solutions. Then I bought the Cricut Expression that came with Plantin Schoolbook (which I already have) and Home Decor. Then I sent in the rebate offer for buying the Expression and I will be receiving Printing 101 and My Community in the mail! :cool1:

I went to Michael's on Thanksgiving night around 7pm to get myself a cartridge and look at what was there to tell my mom to get me. I broke down and got 2 - in case mom didn't make it there you know :) Hey - they were 29.99!

I got paper dolls and stretch your imagination which I've wanted for a long time. Mom got cars or tink for me - I think it's cars.

Never mind! I went to the Cricut website and found it. I am so happy you mentioned it, I would have never known otherwise. Thank you!

Bawahahahahaha, I was totally kidding! Which one did you get? You and I *have* to plan to go to a local crop together so we can intermingle our stuff (and meet, of course!).

you're right! we do have to do that!!!
i got the one that is just the face. i really wanted the one with the bee suit on, but i thought i'd use this one more.
i actually bought hello kitty sleeping bags for gifts and i'm going to make a card to go with it using this. hope it comes out good. i cut one out just to see and i love it! i don't get to do use girly things that often so when i do i take advantage of it!
