Gypsy the hand held design studio for Cricut by Provo Craft is being released tomorrow. This exciting new gadget is a mother load of a device that you can carry around with you. So what’s the big deal you ask? Well if you own a Cricut or more importantly Cricut cartridges the Gypsy can store up to 7,000 cartridge designs and up to 10,000 of your own projects. You’ll be able to mix and match all cartridges and print without having to change cartridges in the Cricut machine. You will also be able to search the entire Cricut library with the keyword. If I can get my hands on one I will take a test run and report back. I am most excited to have better access to cut my own custom designs out.

Super Lucky

Okay Faythe Levin, my friend, you have permanet life long status as my 4th grade BFF! Today I had a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s, back to elementary school. What a delicious experience opening the box I received in the mail. A couple of months ago I told Faythe I was longing for the plastic charm chain necklaces and charms of my youth and she said she had a whole bag full in her studio that I could have. Well today they arrived. I can not express the pee in your pants glee I got out of wasting my afternoon (when I should be working) sorting, looking, squealing and remembering. I love this collection so much I ache a little bit inside. Now, I have to hide them so that the 3 year old in the house can not locate. I will pull out my secret stash only when alone to view privately. Now if someone out there has the yellow and white with the gable roof Barbie Dream House from the late 70’s – that they’d like to give to me – my life will be complete. Well at least I would stop longing for the missing toys of my youth.

Here are some pics of the charms I now get to play with.
