Meet Sully!
Friday, February 12, 2010
My Lover and I exchanged Valentine's Day gifts and he got me my second most talked about "want (following my DSLR)!" The Cricut Expression! I love, love, love this thing! I have been talking about it for some time now and after watching the infomercial months ago, I couldn't stop thinking about how cool it would have been to own it! Well, shows that he listens. :-] I decided to name him 'Sully.' One of Josh's friends girlfriends has one so we are in the need of Gertrude meeting Sully! :-] On top of Sully, he bought me a giftcard for Archivers so that I could buy some things for it. So, we decided to move our "date night" to tomorrow and instead go to Archivers so that I could buy some things and spend the night playing around with my new toy and getting familiar with it. BUT, we didn't buy much at Archivers because the cartridges are $50 each! I am going to look around on eBay and buy the other tools at a different store (since Archivers just got the Cricut Expression, they have nothing to choose from; that is just expensive!).
Sully can make anything and everything. Let me just say that Hallmark no longer has my business . . . I will be making all of my cards from now on. The tutorial video walked me through making a card and it took me literally 3 minutes. Crazy! So . . . if I really, really like you, you'll get a pretty homemade card. If not, you'll still get a Hallmark. Haha, no, I'm kidding. Or am I? ;-] I will definitely get back into scrapbooking (after brutally burning myself out for Josh's anniversary gift 6 months ago!) now that I have to world's best tool!
Oh, and here is a picture of Josh's Valentine's Day gift. I thought this bookshelf thing was cool because for different occasions (i.e., anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, etc.), I will make more books for Josh to add to his little bookshelf (it holds 12) that are theme-appropriate. Yeah, I know, it's kinda (really) girly, but he really appreciated it. I also made that giftcard holder! :-] Now, if I would have had Sully about 12 hours ago, Hallmark wouldn't have made that $3.99 off of me. ;-]
