You Know What They Say About Curiosity...

Well, thank goodness I'm not a cat or even better that it hasn't killed me yet! 

Here's the deal, my curiosity was killing me about the new Cricut Explore, I held out as long as I could and finally broke down and bought one a week or so ago.  There are a ton of mixed reviews, but so far I think it's pretty nice. I'm impressed with it's precise cuts and ease of use. I do feel that Silhouette Studio Designer Edition has the edge, as far as creative freedom. The main reason, I choose to upgrade, is because I own sooooo many cartridges. So far so good. 

Below are the 1st few things I cut with the Explore

I love both machines :):):)

I LOVE My New Custom DELUXE 12x12 Paper Storage!!!

 My wonderful husband created this fabulous paper storage with drawers and counter top, for my studio....

   Recently I asked my DH if he could make me a wooden paper storage.  About 6 months ago, I had purchased a paper storage rolling cart from Joann's.  This cart wasn't cheap, but pretty junkie. It was to weak to hold the 6 plastic containers it came with.  Now the one my DH constructed is ultra deluxe, it holds 8 plastic paper containers full of paper, 6 drawers from another rollie cart I had, an extra large wooden drawer (DH also made) and an additional work surface... Pretty amazing :):):)
