You want a doll don't you???

Not for THAT price! I am sure if I had a girl she would have one! I have my Fisher Price Mandy and Jenny dolls (and Mikey too) from when I was kid. They are similar!

I've only been to the store once since it is on the other side of town from me and a huge hassle to get to but I do love the bitty twins.

Cricut question-
Is it really worth it in the long run? After spending about 40 dollars on chipboard letters this week, I'm starting to look into getting one. What are the pros/cons to having one? Anyone want to share examples of what they've made using their Cricut? TIA!

I have really enjoyed my cricut. I don't have pics, but I need to take some. I have some autograph books that need to go out, so maybe I'll take pics before I send them out. One word of caution. Don't let people know that you have one, or that you know how to use it! I've spent the last several weeks working on cutting 50 scrapbooks. They're cut out of chipboard, and each page is a part of the shape of a house. Yesterday I got word that I have to cut 30 more! For a retreat next weekend! Yes, I'm totally stressed! SO... be warned. Don't let anyone know that you know what you're doing1

Okay, so I haven't posted any pics, BUT I have been using my Cricut a TON. I am a sucker for anything Disney (anyone like that here? : ) I have the Mickey and Friends cart, a couple of alphabet carts, Paper Doll Dress Up and I just bought Cars and Tinkerbell. I used the Cricut for Valentine's Day. For my daughter, I made paper dolls that looked like her, with hearts, and wrote each child's name on them. For my son, I made a dinosaur (from Paper Doll Dress Up) and said "Have a DINO-mite Valentine's Day". I've made the kids Mickey, Minnie, Lightning McQueen, Tink and paper dolls to play with. They love them. I used the Cricut to cut out a ton of stuff in vinyl that looked Hannah Montana-ish and used them to decorate DD's room. Oh wait, I have a pic of that...

ETA: I just noticed Daisy on Sammy's dresser, that was done with the Cricut, too!

Haven't done fabric yet, but can't wait to try!!! I always try to buy my carts on sale. They're almost always on sale somewhere.

REALLY!!!!! Someone must inform this woman on proper cricut questionnaire ettiquette.... starting with addressing the "Queen".

Revrob, kjbrown... jessica, Tom...... anyone of you want to put Jennia in the know????

Jennia- The cricut is probably one of the best things you will ever buy in your whole life......... especially if you tend to be crafty. Really- you will love it!

Wow!! I just saw some in Hancock's last night! Is there one near you? Can they order between stores? I was at the one in Pasadena, MD if that is of any use.

I have a few pages to catch up on, but I finally have a bunch of photos to post!
Here is the St Patrick's Day dress (we just got back home after being out all day- and she was getting ready for a nap- so her piggy tails were gone and she's eating a cookie!)

just to try to show the fabric really is brighter than many of the photos reveal

I just got a new order of bows, but wanted to take pics of a few others in my collection too...
These are all sets- but for ease of picture taking i included only 1 of each

I only had one made, now I need to ask Waughzee to make another one, as the pony tail just doesnt work with car seats. but I love this bow!

I did the reverse on these- I had the bows made and then bought fabric to make an outfit to match- on my to do list to make them up

I had 2 of these made to go with the Feliz I made her for easter- I love these because really they will go with everything this summer too!

Super cute St. Patrick's day dress, LOVE those bows, especially the Mickey lollipops, what a great idea!

WOW I cannot even imagine trying to get that many of ANYTHING made in such a short amount of time! I think I've seen some scrapbooks cut out of chipboard before, but I've never tried it myself. . . yet. =)

Karen is much better for answering this question but I just love crafty things. If you like chipboard letters and do something with them alot then I would say yes! It has to be so much cheaper to cut your own!

I felt like buying it that it could be a money pit! I mean I love all things crafty and like to have enough to do fun things with so that would mean I would need more cartridges and paper and chipboard and stamp stuff, etc. So far I have hardly touched it until today for 2 reasons. One being I hadn't bought anything for it even though I wanted to and secondly because I didn't know what I would do with it. I really have nothing in particular to use it for in a way but I just like having it.

I think it will be great for school projects in the future and I am about to figure out how to make it cut my fabric! Linnette did some really cute letters that the cricut cut for her. I have scrapbooking supplies but really have never done anything with them yet. Now I feel like I can because I can make my own titles and what not!

This morning I found a few videos of this lady demonstrating how to do it and what it does (the sure cuts alot program) and that helped so much just seeing it done. Of course I have never watched the DVD that came with the machine yet.

Jham posted some totally awesome things she has done with hers for school things.

Using it for school projects seems like a great idea. We're starting to have pre-preschool themed playdates with my group, so maybe I could figure out a way to use it for those, too? Hmm. . .

Ooh, so the butterflies, etc on the dresser are also made with Cricut? I'll have to start looking around to try and figure out what I'd "need" to initially start with. Couldn't believe how much I spent on just some letters for titles in one day, definitely made me think about it.

I do tend to be crafty, plus I've been scrapbooking for ages, but now I want to step it up a notch in supplies since I'm making scrapbooks for my dd, kwim?

Carla A line dress and easy fit pants, I use a pillowcase from Kmart for the top.

Carla A line with pillowcase and boutique bottoms

Have a GREAT time! Take some pictures so we can go on vacation with you too! What happened to our daily vacations?

I know walmart had it at one point. Walmart and Hancock seem to carry alot of the same character prints.

I do tend to be crafty, plus I've been scrapbooking for ages, but now I want to step it up a notch in supplies since I'm making scrapbooks for my dd, kwim?

I've been messing with mine for about the past hour now again. It is fun now that I have some designs. I just found some *chipboard* aka cardboard but I only have 4 pieces of the large size! I wanted to do a name book for Dallas. I got it started and saved so far.

I kind of do things on the fly so no real directions but how hard can it be right!

I would love to one for each grade but Kindergarten was LONG to spell out. Anyone have a better word for it.

I think I saw some at Hancock's a while back. I don't know if they still have it though. Wal-Mart had some a while back too. I don't think that they still do though. Sorry I'm not much help am I?

Well I finished it. Its not your normal "Cat in the Hat" look. But heck, I just thought, she can wear it in the fall too! haha double usage. Here it is.

This turned out GREAT! You are right that it isn't the typical Cat in the Hat but perfect for the Green Eggs and Ham shirt AND you can use it again in the fall! Perfect!

I just brought out my old my friend Jenny doll! My kids went nuts for it and all her outfits... I particularly adored her since I am a Jenny...

Have a GREAT time! Take some pictures so we can go on vacation with you too! What happened to our daily vacations?

How about Kindy?
