SHARING A GIFT WITH YOU TODAY!

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope you all had as wonderful a weekend as I did!!

Well, I turned on my Expression E2 today and all the lights came on, and it FROZE -- right at the Cricut screen -- wouldn't load any of the applications!!!  How disappointing is that?!!!  However, I have to say I was impressed that when I called Cricut I didn't have a wait-time, and after the representative attempted to re-calibrate it unsuccessfully, she told me to pack it up, use the prepaid postage she emailed me to return it, and I'd get a replacement.  That was the fastest and most satisfactory service I think I've ever had when having to call for service!!!  Maybe they're getting better?  Anyway, thank God it was still under warranty, and that I have other Cricuts I can use because she said it would be about 4 weeks before I'd get the new replacement!


Anyway, I have two (2) posts today, this one  and another where I'm giving away some blog candy!  I love doing my little giveaways -- such fun!!!  Now, make sure to see my other post to join in to win!  I haven't given away "candy" in a while and I thought it was time for some fun!!!

I do not have a project that I completed for today (working on mine), but I do have something I'd like to share with you.  I have a very new following family-friend, and she mailed me a handmade book of poems.  I was so honored that someone who has only found me such a short time ago would do something so very, very kind!  Makes me feel I'm doing "something" right... lol!!!  And I'm just so thrilled with this book that I thought how nice to present this as my "share" today.  Here's what Diana made for me, and I've included several of the pages; the last page is special because she included a frame to place a picture of my aunt, and there's a poem to accompany it:








Didn't she do a fantastic job?  Thank you, Diana, I love it!!!  And thank you for being my friend too!  I love my blogland family and awfully happy to have you in my circle!!!

Well, don't forget to drop over to my other post for today to see what little goodie I have for you!   I'll be around a little later to see what you've been up to!

Love you, God bless, and I'll be seeing you!!!

Glad you had good service from PC. I have read about many people getting hung up on from PC. The one time I had to contact, the same thing happened to me, when I called back, I got a young guy and I told him he better not hang up on me and guess what, he hung up on me. He was nice enough to email me and tell me to hang up my land line, he was trying to call me back. I thought that was good service. He was very sweet about it, he thought I was going to be mad. I ended up having to send my Imagine back and it took about a month if I am not mistaken. Good luck Audrey!

Your project is gorgeous Audrey. So sorry you are having trouble with your E2. I have had SO much trouble with mine that I am really kind of down with it. My original E is so much better. I am thinking about buying another original E to have a spare because I just don't think this E2 is going to hold up. I agree though, their service is always so wonderful!
