This is a cricut. I L-O-V-E my cricut. {actually I'm on my 2nd one - my first was replaced my customer service when it starting acting funny} If you haven't heard of it before, basically it works like a printer, but CUTS out shapes and letters to use in scrapbooking, card making, and other paper crafts. You have complete control in choosing the color/type of paper and size of the thing you want to cut. The cricut uses cartridges so you don't have to hook it up to a computer, although new software has just come out to do just that.
I made an animal alphabet book for Allie over a year ago (when I was pregnant with Kylie). I laminated the animals and used Velcro to attach them. Allie has loved the book and her favorite animals are starting to show it. The monkey's tail is taped on and the penguins are all over the house. We often take it to church, too.I posted it on the message board way back then (14 months ago) and Julie suggested I submit it for the weekly "Chirp" newsletter's project spotlight. Actually this is how I 'met' Julie. After a few weeks of hearing nothing, I basically gave up on getting selected, but last week an email came saying just that. Blew my mind. I had forgotten all about it. The prize is a cartridge of my choice, so I picked 'Stretch your Imagination' and it came today!!!

Sure glad you made that book or we would have never met :)
I wish my kids liked the one I made as much as Allie loved hers.
It's my dream to get one of these. Also I still envy your animal book. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Congrats on winning!
