Friday morning we headed into Helotes (a San Antonio suburb) to meet the person from whom I was buying the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter. It is a computerized system for cutting shapes and alphabet for card making or scrapbooking. I have become very interested in making my own cards. Well, the owner of the system didn't read the e-mail correctly and ended up at the wrong Starbucks but we eventually made contact and came home with the Cricut (pronounced crickett).
We stopped at Wal-Mart and Costco and got back out to the park about 4pm. I walked the Jazzy dog and fixed us a quick snack before we headed off to play bingo. I won one of the first games and split the $10 prize with Sandy. Michael won later and got the entire $10 prize! It was fun!
Today has been a lazy day. We walked the Jazz dog and I got the Cricut out of the box. I am very disappointed in the system. Don't know if I am doing something wrong or if that's the way it works but I have joined a Yahoo forum and will post some questions and see what happens. It may be for sale again!!
Michael has gotten all his painting supplies and easel out of the closet and is going to give acrylic painting a try again. He got slightly industrious this afternoon and caulked the shower where it had been leaking.
Lazy days are good!

Janna, I had the opportunity to use a Cricut once last fall. After I got the hang of it, it worked just fine. I hope the forum helps you figure out the tricks.
ReplyDeleteIt's great how you keep learning all these new, wonderfully creative things!
