Okay, I caved... Just ordered the Cricut Expression 2!

I've been tuning in to HSN throughout the day, and finally just caved and ordered the new Cricut! I do have the baby bug, but I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed with all the new features (and 4 cartridges!)! (Yea, yada, yada, yada...!) Anyway, can't wait for it to arrive! Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy Monday to ME!

Yay for you! I wondered if you were watching; I've had it on all day!

That's awesome Tracy! I was on the phone placing my order right before they were about to sell out... and I hung up the phone before finishing the order, lol! I just couldn't cave even though I am dying to get one! Right now I just would've felt so guilty because we have so many other things we need to get right now that I can't justify splurging on myself. Our lawn mower just blew up the other night so we need to go buy a new one of those! Ack.. I'll get one, just not now. I'm thinking there just might be some other good deal coming for Black Friday somewhere, so perhaps then! I'm sure you will have a blast with your new E2... can't wait to see your creations!

Yay Tracy!!! That's awesome! I watched most of the day too. I caved on a few items!

Thanks Ladies! Yes, HSN got a lot of business from us FTLOA girls, lol! Andrea, so sorry about your lawn mower! (It always seems like things break at the worst times!) I bet you'll find a really good deal closer to the Holidays on a Cricut. Your discipline and patience will pay off!!

andrea ours did, too!!!!

and we are getting a shed and paving the drive way or i would have pulled the trigger on that bad boy, too. it looks awesome

party at tracy's!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see what you think of it, Tracy!

I don't think I'll be getting one, but what is the difference? Do I need an upgrade?

Ashjoy, I have the very first original Cricut. From what I can tell from the HSN segment on it, here are a few of the new features on the E2: you don't have to use the plastic overlay to punch in your shapes/alphas -- it seems to be on the display screen; 2) it automatically adjusts to height of paper thickness, vinyl thickness, etc. (I was terrible at trying to adjust this on my old Cricut!) 3) I had the kind that only accepted 6 x 12 paper, this one takes a full 12 x 12 sheet; 4) there's a light on the cutting area, so you can see where it's cutting (doubt if this will matter for me!) and 5) you can use the wireless internet connection anywhere in your house for updates. Those are the few I can remember! Basically, a big step up from the babybug, but not sure if it's a big jump from the regular Cricut Expression. Hope this helps!
