Cricut - What do you think?

[SharpMomOfTwo]

This is my first time on this board, so forgive me if this subject has been done before, but I was just wondering how many of you have the Cricut, and what you really think about it. I would LOVE to get one, but they ain't cheap, and neither are the cartriges to go with them. Do you mostly do all you stuff on the Cricut or a machine like it, or on the computer? How hard or easy is it? Any great tips for working it?

Thanks!

I have the original Cricut, and LOVE it.... but I was able to get it at 40% off couple yrs ago (Michaels had them, had a coupon, and didn't print on the coupon you couldn't buy one with it, lol)... but now both Michael's and Joann's print on their coupons you can't use it.

I know they have a new "Expressions" one out now though, so the original one has really come down in price.

I only have the cartridge that came with it, and 1 other one that I had bought.. and that's all I've needed so far.

I'll probably buy more eventually, but I love how you can make all the different sizes of letters/shapes. I have a sizzix also I had bought many years ago, and rarely use that anymore, cause there's really no need to.
