Can someone give me a list of websites that sell the small cricut machine. All I found was one that sold the expression. I'm not having much luck searching. Not very good at that. All I need is two or three places I could look at and compare prices. Thank you.
I can't help you with place to buy one, but I wanted to let you know there is a new Cricut being released that has the functionality of the Expression but is the size of the original bug. Just thought you'd like to know all of your options!
Jackie... how do you know about the new cutting machine?? You don't work for a company do you?? Sure wish we could get some inside info...lol. I would love to read about this. If you have a link. But why would they put out a new one again... sales I bet. AFter the market is flooded you need to give them something newer!! LOL
I'm just curious ...I don't need anything portable. My sister just bought a Cricut.

I guess you have already ordered, but did you look at Walmart? I walked by them tonight and thought I saw them considerably cheaper, but don't want to say because I didn't pay close enough attention, so I might be wrong.

Thanks everyone for your help. Wow, I like the price on those cartridges Granny G. I have a cricut but my niece was wanting one so I was trying to see what kind of price we could get. But now with what Jackie said, maybe we'll wait. I could sell her mine and get a new one. Ha.ha... Thanks again everyone. Appreciate your help and information. For those of you that have the cricut.. have you seen the new Jukebox? I just discovered that the other day. Sure think that would be nice. I just get one cartridge in my machine and cut out one item, then I need another cardridge for another item etc. As I understand this you don't have to keep changing the cartridge, you would just put on the new key pad? Am I correct or totally gone brain dead for the night. LOL.... Does anyone have this yet?
That's what I understand about the jukebox, but when I first saw it, I thought it would be nice also, but I have a lot more cartridges than that and although you can buy as many jukebox's as you want and I think they can be joined together, if you use it also as storage, that sure does get expensive, so don't think I'll be going that route.
Trying to save space, which I'm in dire need of, I took my cartridge boxes, removed the cover and then put a rubber band around the cover, book, keyboard cover, and cartridge and placed in a plastic storage drawer. Saved me a bit of space.

Lynn, I think I would purchase only one jukebox, then put in the six cartridges you were hoping to use at that time. Then if you needed a couple of others, you would just remove the two you didn't need and put in two new ones. You can change them out can't you? I'll have to ask at the scrapbook store next time I go. I just like the fact that you wouldn't need to keep changing one cartridge at a time. Yes, it would get expensive if you had to go the other route but then again I don't have many cartridges. Only 7. My friend has over 25. Wish we lived near each other.
Wish I lived near someone! lol I probably have over 30 cartridges, and yes, it would help to have one juke box, I had just read where you could add them and they stack on top of each other, but that would just too expensive. Right now, I think I want some other cartridges if I ever get any money instead of spending it on the jukebox.
Boy have I worn my cricut out this week - It's been smoking - most everything I've done with the New Arrival cartridge for the shower. I really love that cartridge. I'm trying to make a centerpiece like a flower boquet, but with baby stuff and when she takes it apart, she can use them as embellishments for her scrapbooks. Trying to decide how is the best way to attach them to the skewers without tearing them up taking them apart, but still have them stay put.
Well, I've got to get off my feet for a little while and get up and get with it again.

Lynn, What if you attached them with a little of that tacky (oops, senior moment and can't think of the name of that stuff you buy like play dough or putty) You can stick things to the walls or bulletin boards with it instead of using tape or glue. Do you know what I am talking about?
Thanks - I finally got it done and think it will work. Just used small amounts of double sided tape and other things like punching holes where I could and then putting tape behind on the skewer where it would'nt go all the way down the skewer.
I'll try to get pics of all this. Still have a few things to do but had to take a short break.

Oh, glad you got it figured out. Do take pictures. I am anxious to see what it looks like. I bet it is beautiful. I sure wish I had an eye for things. No imagination here. Must see things first. You must live in the country as you said, "Wish I lived near someone" I live in the country too but we do have a grocery store, bank and P.O. near by. If I want to shop it is a 20 mile drive or if I want to go to a bigger city, then I must drive anywhere from 60 miles to the closest city and 100 miles to a larger city. So it's not that bad except for when you need something right now. Then forget that.
I second GrannyG that's the cheapest place to get online, the other place I like to get stuff is at Walmart-sometimes they are on clearance! I've seen so much good stuff there lately, I can't believe they had a Disney Cricut cart on sale for $30!
