Early Christmas for me......

As most of you know, Walmart had the colored Cricut Expressions on sale for $185.  I had to work when they went on sale so, I decided I would just wait and get one later.  I had to work so, I sent my husband to pick up a few Christmas gifts that would probably be gone by the time I got off work.  He was able to get the things I was wanting.  I had also mentioned to him that the Cricut Lite cartridges were on sale.  He was able to get me 4 of them.  Then, he got me this.......

He couldn't wait til Christmas.  He brought it to me at work that night!!  I have been wanting the green Cricut for a while but, I did not want to buy it just because of the color.  Mine started making a weird noise a few months ago so, he bought me this one to replace it.  Mine was still working fine other than the noise and the white strip was starting to come off.  When I planned to cut something I had to make sure the white strip was down all the way or it would catch the mat.  Since it was still working I gave it to my friend from Louisianna.  She was here to go black friday shopping with me when I got off work at 6 am.  She is a single parent and did not have a Cricut.  She really needed one.  I was so happy to be able to give her my old one.  I just hope it holds up for a while.  Anyway, that was my early Christmas.  I am now working on some Christmas projects on my new green one.
