I guess that they make them so we will buy them and this week I have been buying them. I know that I am by no means the top collector of carts. I have 154 Cricut carts in total. Last summer I started this blog and made a list of all my carts. I realized I had some that I had never used and I have been challenging myself to use them all in someway..even a small little cut. I thought I was doing pretty good until I figured out that I have bought soooo many since I started the challenge so my list of carts to use is growing fast. In one week I have added to my collection x13
- 4 with the Menard's rebate offer (4.99 a cart are you kidding me)
- 1 with my first order from Close to My Heart (a new addiction)
- 2 just out of the box at Joann's Event/Project Carts
(I made them go to the back to get them - the cards were out)
- 2 with the special teacher weekend at Joann's (already on sale)
- 1 Cake cat in the clearance section of Hobby Lobby
- 3 carts ordered with rewards points.
I HAVE TO STOP!!! SO Not a single new cart will be purchased by me for at least 2 months. I will already be getting Sophie with my Circle membership so for at least 2 months nothing else. AND to add to this I am not going to buy anything craft related except adhesives (as needed only) for this time as well. I have enough and I need to just use what I have. SO...wish me luck and stop but to see what I am working on form time to time!!
Oh my! You did have a bit of fun with carts, didn't you? Ouch! Can't wait to see what you do with them all!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing today I got two new carts a Christmas and then just won one not too long ago have use them....good luck hope you don't suffer too much withdrawal
ReplyDeleteI have about the same amount of carts as you do and I agree.. it is SO difficult not to buy the new ones that come out and that are super adorable. I need to adopt the same "No buying cartridges for 2 months" as you..lol. At least I am going to try. It is so hard because I LOVE to buy any craft related supply items. Good luck on your 2 months no buying.. I hope you will make it.. I know you can do it!! Terri of Two Pink Peas www.twopinkpeas.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteTotally understand. I want the CTMH cart but we just had to replace the AC so need to cut back on craft stuff.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the 2 month Freeze! I will be sending others to join you after Sept 1! The "Using Your Stash" challenge on the Circle Message board will be over and I am going to suggest they join your thread! You can do this!!

Ok, I posted it on my blog so I guess it's official, I'm with ya!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support.
ReplyDeleteLet's keep other going! I really enjoy your messages on my blog, they make my day.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you!! I'm too much of a chicken to try this, I love to spend my "allowance" (self inflicted!) on scrap stuff, sometimes the scrapbook steals emails are just too tempting! :-) Maybe someday I'll join you...
ReplyDeleteI saw your challenge on the Cricut Message Board, and I would love to join in. I am starting today! -- Julie from www.CraftingTravels.com
