Who guessed that I wouldn't wait 'til August?

Y'all may remember that I bought a Cricut at ACM for $125 and then splurged on both of the Disney cartridges (though I did get them for $60 each). Then I hid it all in my closet and swore I wouldn't open them until after our WDW trip, so I wouldn't hurt DH's feelings since he just bought me a Big Shot in February.

That was 11 days ago.

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I 'fessed up to DH and took it out today:banana: . The good news is that he couldn't have cared less. The other good news is that I got it set up and working all by myself.....which is huge since I tend to rely on DH for anything technical AT ALL.

I like it. I only used the George cartridge today, but that was fine for a maiden voyage. I am wondering if I should splurge on the tool set, too, as getting the letters off was kind of a drag. I used an exacto knife to help me lift some of it, but I don't know how well that will work for other things.

Do you all use the Cricut tool set or something else?
 
I use my tool kit ALL the time. I also stock up on the cutting mats whenever I have an extra coupon as they wear out quickly.

Be sure to check out the Cricut website for great tips.
 
I wouldn't have the willpower either. At least you can make sure it works since some stores have a strict return/exchange policy - that would have been my big fear waiting to use it.
 
Ok, the temptation is great - our local ACM store also has the $125 price tag through Saturday...:rolleyes1 Guess this would really kill my "no more scrapbook supplies this summer" promise to myself. Not sure when the price would go this low again... so, is it worth the investment? Where should I go and read up on the setup etc...?
If I were to purchase it for this great price, what accessories would you recommend I also purchase? Thanks for the advice. Caroline
 

You waited 11 days?! Such willpower. I doubt I could have waited that long.

Have fun playing. It's fun to use, but definitely stock up on cutting mats.
