I can hardly believe it myself, people. I got a BRAND NEW, in the box Cricut Expression for $180 yesterday! The lady who sold it said she had just bought in two weeks ago, but a family emergency required that it be returned. Lo and behold, she couldn’t find the receipt so was forced to sell it at a significant loss. The family emergency? Her mother-in-law had a stroke. Now, I ask you, how does that constitute an emergency?*

I’m having fun figuring the thing out. I had it cut out the words “Happy Birthday” about six times last night, fiddling with the different settings until I got the font size I wanted. I think I’ll stick to smaller phrases in the future. Or maybe just shapes. And I can I just say how annoyingly STICKY that mat is? I realize it’s necessary, but the thing is already covered with my hair, my cats’ hair, my husband’s hair and carpet fuzz.

*That was a joke, people.
