CRICUT Training & CRICUT CAKE

I am so excited about my trip to Chicago this weekend for the Cricut training with Provocraft!  Wow... not only will I be training on a product that I just absolutely love, but my bff, Angela is going too!  And I've gotten tons of emails and facebook messages that many of my 'cricut' friends are going too!  There are threads on the Cricut message board, Two Peas and Scrapbook.com of groups planning pizza parties, trips to the Windy City scrapbook store and more!  Two Peas is have a swap... fun stuff!  I thought about joining that one, but unless I want to stay up all night (not an unusual thing for me ;-) to do), I figured I just didn't have time. So for those of you who are going to Chicago... here are some links you might be interested in:

I did, however, pack my suitcase last night!  Weather looks chilly and wet for the weekend in Chicago, so no capris or sandals.  That's okay because I will be inside having fun with the cricut!  So many exciting things going on!
