DH just got a 'Lightning deal" from Amazon.com - $199 MS Cricut Cake with three cartridges. Prime shipping. Awesome. Merry Christmas to me!

Wow, ycknits!! Thanks for the info, although my dh probably will not appreciate it. I have been perusing web sites and comparisons for the cricut mini (can't find it below $199) and debating the small screen on it. I just went to the amazon site and ordered the ms cricut..."Merry Christmas to me from dh" and he doesn't even have to brave the stores or worry about a shopping list. Again, thanks totally for sharing the info. Merry Christmas!

I ordered it Monday with free shipping from Amazon, used some Amex points and got it (and Elegant Cakes, and extra blades) for $147.00 total, but I don't think mine is coming with 3 cartridges. Still...I can't wait for my new toy!
