A Cricut is Born…Red Cricut Expression
![Even the Box is COOL!!](https://joyslife.com/images/cricut/December09/red%20expression%20box.jpg)
Ahhh ahhh ahhhhh….Ahhh ahhhh Ahhhhhh
Yes, I actually sang like Ariel as I lifted my new Expression from it’s box.
When I first opened the brown cardboard box that held the pretty box above, I had a total moment of fear that maybe the wrong Cricut would be in there…but then I saw my first hint that it was the right one…RED CRICUT HEADS!! Woo hoo!

Uh oh…that’s a fire ant.

On the first day of red Cricut my true box gave to me…ONE Cricut Mat…. (Ok, that’s the 12 days of Christmas you’re supposed to sing that to.)

Hey, that could be a partridge in a bird cage next to a pear tree that hasn’t born fruit yet.
Sooooo EXCITED about this cartridge!!! I’ve been waiting (like a lot of people) for months and months for this cart. I hope they will do a wider release of it than just in machines, because it’s GREAT! I’m looking forward to making some things with this.
BTW, this also came with the Plantin Schoolbook cart, which I already have. Ebay here I come.

Oh! It’s a Boy!!
Um…I’m not big into naming objects, but I’ll make an exception here. I named my Red Expression, Dean. After the older brother in the show Supernatural. No, I’m not kidding. I heart Supernatural. Just as an aside, whoever writes Dean’s dialogue has a bug in both my home and car. I’m sure of it. ๐

Dean is so shiny!! LOL…that does sound so ridiculous.
I wish they would have had color when I got mine. the red one is sooooo pretty.. I’m jealous!!!! LOL…I love your sense of humor…I wll be checking your sight often. thanks for sharing.
Thanks Shelly! I do love the Red Expression. ๐ No matter what color they are though…they’re all still AWESOME!! Thanks for being a part of my site! ๐
I thought I was the only one on this lonely earth that just burst out in song!!!!!!
Just like me……………….
Love your Red E!!!
Make em Red with Envy~!!!
Sorry
You are so funny! You just made my day, well night I guess!!!
LOL! We’re twins with our glorious Cricut singing! ๐
You remind me a great deal of myself (it’s sort of creepy)…. I often spontaneously burst into song (I’m a voice performance major, which is my excuse) and I LOVE Dean and Sam. My husband gives me that “look” quite a lot with my craziness over scrapbooking and the Cricut in general….
I am fairly new to paper crafting, and I just got my Cricut (boring beige…) in December, so I’m really enjoying reading all of your blog posts. They are extraordinarily inspirational.
I do differ from you in one respect: I absolutely love the Martha Stewart punches… I used them for so many crafts for my wedding, and I am absolutely loving the “punch around the page” tools. If Martha Stewart and Cricut were to collaborate on a cartridge, I think I’d be in crafting heaven.
I felt the same way!!! LOL….
