It's Arrived!!!

I came home from work at lunchtime today, and look what Mr. FedEx man brought me...

I was so excited to break into my new consultant kit that I completely forgot to take any pictures :-(  I chose the $100 in free product credit from the March New Consultant promotion, so the medium box in the middle is full of all the awesome goodies I got to pick out.  I started playing as soon as I got home from work and got everything put away already.  Lol.  Guess you could say I was like a kid in the candy store!

The top package was actually a Cricut cartridge I won on eBay last weekend.  It's one that I've had my eye on for a while, but never thought I'd have a use for it.

It figures that by the time I finally get a Cricut, my local Wally World's quit carrying their products.  The Cricut Lite cartridges were exclusive to Wal-Mart and hard to come by these days.  You can still order them off of their website and they're available to purchase on the Cricut shopping site, but by the time you factor tax and shipping in, they're almost as expensive if not more than a full cartridge from J's or M's.  That's why I LOVE eBay!  I've gotten almost all of my cartridges from eBay and for relatively cheap.  There's a couple of sellers on there that have a great selection, low shipping charges, and due to the sheer number of listings, their cartridges go for sometimes a third of the retail price.  I don't know what I would do without it!!

I know what you're all thinking, but NO.... I'm not pregnant!  Lol  I've just got so many people around me lately that are that I figured it was a good cartridge to add to my catalog.  I've got some ideas for some gifts in the future, but I'm keeping those a secret for now ;-)  I promise to share details as soon as I can!!

Well, I'm off to my homeowners' association meeting, and then back home to play with all my goodies.  There will be PLENTY of new project pics coming... just as soon as I figure out how to use everything!!  Lol
