New Adventures Ahead

I'm looking forward to my Cricut machine that I will be getting January/February.  I haven't totally decided which one(s) I'm going to get yet.  I've been asking my BFF who does Cricut about all the in's and out's and how-to's before I decide.  If you have any suggestions that you feel would help in my decision, please feel free to post them as well.  In the meantime, I will continue on with my embroidery as well.
