I just ordered a Cricut Expression (12”x12”) craft cutter and I can’t wait to get my hands on it! For those of you who couldn’t care less about crafting and have no idea what a Cricut is, this little beauty cuts shapes, designs and fonts in paper, vinyl and fabric (although that’s a lot trickier). It’s been been around for years, but I finally decided I can’t live another day without one. ;)
For those of you who have one, what do you use yours for? Having a little one at home, I can think of tons of projects I will use this for and had plenty of times over the past couple of years that I wished I had one. Also, printing on vinyl opens up tons of possibilities for projects and gifts.
I just downloaded the demo version of the Make the Cut software over the weekend and it’s a lot of fun to play with. Since I don’t want to be tied to only using the Cricut cartridges, I’m planning on using this a lot to print fonts I already have on my computer and convert images to cut with the Cricut. Does anyone use this software already? If so, how do you like it?

Wow, I understood about a quarter of that post. You must be extremely craft/tech savvy, or at least more so than me ;)
Hi. I just recently found your blog but I love it! Your daughter is beautiful! You are going to love your cricut! I have had mine for over a year and I use it all the time. We have only been home with our daughter for 5 months and she just turned 2 so I haven't let her use it yet, but I will teach her soon. My nieces are 5 and 3 and they learned to use it as soon as I got it. There are quite a few cartridges with cute things for kids and using MTC will also be fun. I use mine for a lot of every day things too. If you ever have any questions feel free to email me - I'd be happy to help or point you to some great sites I have found!

I'm excited to see how you use your cricut! Fun!!
I'm embarassed to say that I bought one over 2 years ago and have never taken it out of the box. I'm sure there is so much I could use it for but time just seems to get away from me.
Enjoy!!
I got my cricut for Christmas and have done a few things with it, still learning. It was very intimidating to me at first and truthfully it still is.
I just found your blog and I am interesting in seeing what you do with your cricut.
