I have the personal cricut, the one just smaller than the expression. I love it for scrapbooking, cardmaking, but I can't get over the price of cartridges (for new shapes, etc). They have gone from $45 to $60! Once in a while you can pick up one with designs I've never been interested in for $40 (usually at Hobby Lobby). Since I'be begun quilting, it sits in the cupboard. LOL!
