Thanks to a couple of my friends I scored! 
Michael's Crafts ran an ad saying they were clearancing some of their Cricut cartidges... for $9.99!

Of course this working woman couldn't get there when they opened, but my great friends remembered that Walmart... matches ads and sales!

So.. I took off to Walmart and scored 3 new Cricut Lite cartrdges: $120 for $30!!

Thanks SB Buddies!  ♥ ya!
