There is a sale on the Cricut Create for $99 happening on Black Friday. Is it worth it? Looking for your feedback.

Have a good day!

my daughter has the full deal and loves hers, my Mom has the smaller version and feels it wasn't worth it for her. She sold hers.
This is my take on it as i seen both. For me, I would LOVE it but knows my reality. I wouldn't use it often enough, that is my Mom's case. Daughter does book scrapping and other things, church bulletins, posters, etc and makes full use of hers. She told me if I need something, just to let her know! :o)

So, as far as it being worth it? I say yes, and I have seen in a Walmart that they carry some of their accessories.

I have the small version, and I love it. The only drawback that I can see to any of the Cricut cutters is that the cartridges are so expensive. They are anywhere from $39 to $85 each depending on the content. What I have done is to set up cutting parties with other Cricut owners. We use each others cartridges, bring snacks, etc. and make it a "girls night out".

Have a good day!

I have a Cricut Machine as well, I have 3 cartridges and wand to add on. But, I am biding my time until they go on sale in the hobby stores or online. The customer service is also excellent. My first machine was defective, they handled it very nicely.

Walmart is having the expression on sale in colors come Black Friday. you can check it out online.

The cartridges are 30.00 and I think the cricut, which is the larger one... is around 180.00

It sounds great and I could use it everyday with homeshooling and such.. guess I wil put it on Santa's list but i'm thinking i'm gettin coal this year....
