Christie and I have spent much of the weekend together planning this event and we are SO excited! 

The event will be a Polka Dot Theme - any color, any size.  Make something, anything, card, banner, box, bag, craft item using Polka Dots and bring it along for your chance to win 50, 75 or 100 Cricut Cash to spend here on Cricut.Com  Warning, you may not to get your entry back if I'm in love with it. Just saying...

There will be a ribbon swap.

Also a white elephant, crafter style.  Bring something you don't use that has a value over 15.00 and swap with someone else who isn't using their item. It will be super fun and a great way to get new supplies without spending a penny!

Everyone will go home with a goodie bag and 1 door prize of some type.

There will be a make and take and some shopping for those that wish to participate.

We have the room from 6pm Friday until 8:30am Sunday. There will be snacks and drinks available 24/7 and light fare for dinner and lunch (sandwich trays, etc)

If you would like, you can donate any items to Mrs. Neale at the Cricut Crop.  I've had several girls ask if they could bring along donations for her and my husband assures me he will deliver any goodies that are donated to her. Just a reminder, she had a beautiful craft room that burned up in a fire 2 weeks before Christmas.  They did not have sufficient insurance for the contents in her home. Provo Craft is sending some things for her as well.

Any questions? Drop me a line kricutkrazy@gmail.com and I'll be happy to help.

hugs and chirps!

Krazy deal on Kool Cutting Station

My Cricut buddy Michelle from www.scappinwithmybug.com loves a deal and brags about it whenever she finds one.  This turns into many of us spending dough on stuff we didn't know we HAD to have.  She is the queen of good deals in paper crafting.  She's also brilliant with her designs and has been published in Cricut Magazine and her stuff is on the Cricut commercial - how awesome is that?

OK, so a few days ago she was bragging on Facebook about a Creative Cutting Center that she got on clearance at Joann's and how it was even cheaper cause she used the 20% off teachers coupon thingy.  Blah Blah whatever Blah.  Yes, I barely paid attention. Not because I'm not interested in what she has to say, I'm VERY interested.  It's because I made a new year resolution to not spend as much and to use what I have.

But then a few girls started getting excited cause their Joann's had the Station and they got the same deal.  So this morning I call my Joann and they said they didn't have them. So I gave them the item # and they checked the computer and WOOT! They have TWO.  I purchased them right over the phone and will pick them up later.

Regularly 199.99 the Creative Cutting Center (which fits the Imagine PERFECTLY) is on Jo's website for 149.00.  Yawn....... that's not enough to get our attention now is it crafters?  It's marked down for 69.99 in the stores.  Ok.... now I probably have your attention.  What happens if I tell you that they are ringing up Nationwide for 34.99???????? THIRTY FOUR DOLLARS!!!!!!!  If you use a teachers coupon/discount you get 20% off that!

How awesome is this?  So go to www.joanns.com and look at the store locations for a phone #.  Call your Jo's and ask if they have any of item #02427102 in stock.  They will not hold it for you, but they will take your payment over the phone and you can pick it up later.

Let me know what you think?

Pinterest

Hey Krazies!

Do you know about Pinterest? I got an invite to join about 2 months ago or so but really didn't play with it until the last few weeks. As more and more Crafters and Cricut Bloggers jumped on there it has become quite addictive.  Please go check it out:  www.pinterest.com/kricutkrazy  and if you are not a member but it looks like it will interest you, just drop me an email with your email addy and I'll invite you. It is by invitation only and I'm not sure how long it takes if you request one via their site.  If you already have a Pinterest Account, please give me the url so I can follow you - I hope you do the same for me.

Blog Winner & Reminder

Happy New Year Krazies!

First I'd like to announce the winner of the blog candy.

Scrapbooking and Stamping with Michelle said...
What darling projects! As far as new year resolutions for myself....I don't usually make any. I started working on losing weight last May and I plan on continuing my weight loss plan. I also want to work on padding the savings & a some money aside for my daughter for college. It is sneaking up fast! I think anyone who truly wants to make a change and makes a resolution, can stick to it with hard work and determination! I am sure you can do it if you set your mind to it! Thanks for the chance to win. I have become a follower and also now follow via network blogs on Facebook!
