Blue Cricut

Long time since my last post. Just been busy working a lot of hours. Now on to my new toy. I was crazy enough to go to Wal-Mart and get me one of the limited color cricuts. It was crazy when it was time. I got pushed into the box the cricuts were in. I did get me the Blue Cricut that I had my heart set on!
