MM Storage, MM Storage, how could I possibly tell you what you mean to me? You hold my items and you keep them safe. You treasure them almost as much as I treasure you. No one will ever come between us. I will love you always for your generous spirit and your strength..not to mention you look so darned good..

Now and forever yours,
Katie ;)

My Dearest Cricut,

I have been looking for you for so long. I can't believe I finally found you. What did I do before you came into my life? You have added so much color and dimension to my world. I truly love you.

Oh how I love my cicut,
It makes scrapbooking so fast,
All I have to do is press cut,
And my memories are there to last!
Oh how I love my cricut and all of its possibilities! <3

Oh Big Shot, let me cut the ways. You have brought me flowers and hearts and top notes too. I love your quiet peaceful sounds that hum into something beautiful. You are my sunshine, or at least you can create one for me.

Love you always,
Monica

Stephanie said...

My Dearest Cricut

I am not creative
I am not stylish
I am not one to embellish
But since we have met
I have become crafty with cards, scrapbooks and more!

Jana-Michel Westall said...

Dear Cricut,

I love you much,
even when I'm away
Thank goodness for Gypsy,
I can always play.
I design all the time,
even in the car
My pages look fine,
with a moon or a star.
When I come back,
And plug Gypsy in,
Red paper or black,
Let the cutting Begin!!!

Love, Jana-Michel

Robin* said...

Tools, tools, how I love my tools
They let me be free to break creative rules!

They’re round and straight and curvy too
To my tools I say…I love you!

They help me cut and help me crimp
With my tools I’m not a scrappin’ wimp.

There would be no way to pick just one
So I’ll use all my tools for continuous fun!

My punches, my cutters, my tweezers, my cricut,
My sizzix, my xyron, my tools are my ticket!

I have many tools that I keep so neat
I love them all, cause they are sweet!

So to my tools, I have to say…
They will help me create the very best Valentine’s Day!

Beki Ward said...

My love for you, dear Cricut, is forever enduring.

Cricut, how do I love thee. Let me count they ways.
I love thy cartridges and thy shapes.
My creativity can reach new heights
For the cost of owning, no price is great
I love thee to the end of days
Most women need to own you and the gypsy
I love thee freely, even when you are not
I love thee purely, as rightly so
I love thee with a passion put to use


Love you always
Priscilla

My Dearest Snip-its,

Eternally devoted,

Sentiments said...

Oh my cricut how I love thee,
You have made crafting so much easier for me.

The warm glow from you lights oh so green,
Puts a glide in my stride, skip in my step, makes my heart sing.

You cut fabric, chipboard and card-stock with ease.
Your chirping sound makes me so weak in the knees.

Oh cricut expression, create and baby bug,
You deserve every accolade, every kiss and every hug.

Ashley Newell said...

Dear Stickles,

Love Always,

Angela Lee said...

How I love thee Papers, let me count the ways.
I love thee from Bazzil to Basic Grey to Anne Griffin to Fancy Pants and 7 Gypsies,
I love thee equally,
I love thee when not in sight
Most quiet and underestimated, but the foundation for all I do
I love thee purely, the simple plain to the glittered and flocked,
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee and entrust my cherished memories
Smiles, tears, of all my life!

Stacie said...

Cuttlebug, Cuttlebug,

Rachel Mach said...

To my gorgeous Jimi, the baby bug,
Oh, my loved Cricut, how I sing to thee!
Thine presence fills me with utmost desire:
Creativity flows from you to me.
With you by my side, I can ne’er go wrong.
From cool cards to pages to home décor
So many projects inundate my soul.
Time I spend with you is never a bore.
If ever I were to lose your kind touch,
My world would implode (seriously, dude!)
I would have no more crafts, or things to do!
Now as patience runs thin I must conclude.
Jimi the Cricut, I sure do love you!

Written in iambic pentameter. We're studying one of Shakespeare's plays, so that's why I did that. :D I'm such a nerd.... :)

Danelle said...

Dear Cricut,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! With SCAL I can Cut any fonts and clip art I want. With the carts it's a snap to cut things quickly. You made card making fun again. You make my future scrapbooking possible...maybe. I love you, never change!!

From, Moi

Cuttlebugs are GREEN,
My Cricut is CREAM.
What would I do if I didn't have both of you.
People mutter about the Zutter,
O do I need one of those.
The Glue Glider Pro makes everything a GO. O how I could ever live without one of those. The thing that would make all my needs complete, is to keep things neat and keep the kids watching thier show.

Peek at My Paper said...

Pretty Papers - what would you be?
I am so sorry they cut you from that tree.
But, without your pretty prints & colors
I wouldn't have fun crafts to do with others.
You cut, you fold, my favorite pictures you hold,
All those memories for me, when I get old.

Thanks for the chance to win! :)

Come grow old with me, the best is yet to be!!

Deborah Chesney said...

My Dearest Slice,

So small, green and light,
but for cutting you are just right.
One small card inserted gets you going,

It was love at first sight, of that I am sure.
So Slice you will remain, forever, my paper cutting cure.
With love,
Deb

Now I can Scrapbook, Make Cards, Even out of the Door

Shannon "cargirl" said...

Dearest Cricut,
You came into my life at a truly fine time,
My wrists hurt so bad from cutting with scissors, all I did was whine.
I thought I'd have to quit,
But you wouldn't hear of it.
I press cut after I pick a font,
And you give me just what I want.

Yours now and forever,
Shannon

Joyce M said...

Dear Cuttlebug,

I don't know how I functioned before you came into my life. I never make a project without you right there by my side. And those nesties {sigh}, we all make such a great team together. Anything is possible when I have you to help me.
