I know. I had it in my cart all day and then came home tonight, finally deciding to bite the bullet and it was no longer there. I bet they do another sale, maybe Cyber Monday??? And now the price has gone up by $60. I guess if we snooze, we lose. |

Is this better than the cricut? I have a cricut that I use with sure cuts a lot and I have a feeling that the silhouette is similar to the set up that I used. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my set up! When my cricut bites the dust, I will be selling my cartridges and gypsy and getting myself a silhouette. As long as it works with my Mac.  I use it with my Mac.  |

You might want to check Silhouette America's website after midnight. They are supposed to be having a great sale.

And now it is no longer available at that price - it has gone up $40. Just thought i was pass this along. I'm sorry! It was a deal of the day, and they usually have limited numbers at the good price, so I'm not surprised it went off special at around midnight EST. if I see it again, I'll post! |

Well, elaine warned us that she'd be an enabler and so far, she's doing a great job!
  Ha, agreed! I don't know whether to keep reading (stalking) or hide my wallet  |

This will expand your creative capabilities so much you will regret not having the larger cutting area. You can still cut small things. I tape 1" squares to my mat for cutting small things and it's fine. |

I bought mine a couple of years ago at your suggestion. It took me awhile to set it up, but I love it now! I'm printing up some Thanksgiving placecards right now. I think "Elaine" is shorthand for "enabler!" Meant in a good way, of course!

Thanks for the update, Elaine!
I've forwarded it on to DH. I've been sending him hint-filled e-mails since last week about one, so unless he's already bought my gift, I'm pretty sure he'll get it for me for Christmas.

Costco online has the Silhouette Cameo for $199 and it has a vinyl bundle with it. It has been that price for several days. I'm not sure about shipping costs on it, though.

Is this better than the cricut? I have a Cricut and about 20 or so cartridges. I have loved the Cricut, it worked well, but I have always hated how limited it is. A while back, I had bought Make the Cut software and was using it with that. However, after a while, Provo Craft sued all software companies so they would stop making their software compatible with the Cricut. I could never get an upgrade and eventually my laptop got too old and so I could no longer connect to the software anymore. I have never really been happy with the fonts in any cartridge, so I always tended to use the same ones over and over. I wanted more variety that just wasn't there. After hearing all my complaints about the limited availability, my husband told me we should some day find a way to get out of the Cricut and go to something I would like better. He is also an Apple hater for the same reason and most of our devices at home are Android based, so we don't have to use I-Tunes. So to him, Provo Craft is the Apple of the crafting world. I know Provo Craft is trying to improve with their software they have now, but I just couldn't ever get on board with it, so I have been holding out for something different for a long time. I believe, or at least it was before that the software was through the internet and not something you could download on your computer. That won't work for me since I sometimes use it in places there is no internet connection. I showed him the deal of $179 and he ordered it that day and it is now sitting in my bedroom waiting for Christmas to come so I can play with it. I'm excited to have the ability to cut any of my fonts that I own on my computer, and the ability to cut anything. I have several friends and family members who have Silhouettes and they love them. I haven't heard of anybody yet who has regretted the purchase. My nephew's wife even had a Cricut and sold it and bought something else (I don't think she has a Silhouette, though), because the Cricut was too limiting. I have already downloaded the Silhouette Studio (it's free) and have downloaded some free designs. I have been playing with it a bit and watching some YouTube videos. I'm excited for Christmas and it is probably a good thing I don't get it until then because I would have a hard time staying away from it when I have a ton of other stuff to get done before then. So, that was long and winded - sorry. I guess I'm just a little excited! |
