That stinks about the ACOT order, Susie - do you not have the swatches? I did, so it wasn't a problem for me, but that is lousy.
Sorry you had a bad swapping day. If it makes you feel any better, I was doing this WAY too late at night (should have known better) and ruined 2 sheets of Bazzill and one of my Cricut markers (one that I *needed*) because I wasn't paying close enough attention to what I was doing and trying to do too much at once.
2 lessons learned when dealing with Cricut markers:
1. Don't forget to change the pressure back to normal after you switch from marker back to blade. Had a lovely time cutting air the first time around.
2. Don't forget to actually PUT THE BLADE BACK IN after changing the pressure back. You will completely ruin your marker if you use it with maximum pressure.
What an idiot I am.
Needless to say, those pieces are now on hold waiting for me to pick up a new set of markers and will be done when I am fully energized and not trying to multi-task.
On another note - I have 4 groups done now. Plugging along.
