How often do you use yours?  Do you have any particularly fun projects?  I saw small one on sale, and I'm weighing the cost.

I want very badly! I do events for a rescue and one of our volunteers has a cricut and we’ve been able to do branded water bottles, stickers, and more which is so much less expensive for us than trying to have branded items made by a third party!

I do not have one, but from what I've seen in some crafting forums is that any new accessories/upgrades will be aimed at the Maker and not any of the other models.

I do not have a Cricut. I have a Silhouette Cameo 3. My sister, does however have both a Cricut and a Silhouette and pointed me in the direction of the Cameo as the design software that comes free allows for free design. I can take literally any JPG and convert it a cut file as well as use fonts from free online sources versus playing for them in the Silhouette shop.

What do I use it for? Practically everything. I used heat transfer vinyl (HTV) to cut custom iron ons and label DD's softball bag. Stencil material to make stencils for silk screened t-shirts. Cardstock to make gift card holders and signage, as well as assist DD with the odd school project. Right now, I'm weighing my options on Amazon as far as what material to use to make custom cookie stencils.

ETA: figured out how to compress pictures.
