I hope all had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Here at our house was awesome! The friends, family and food, I sure feel blessed. And it's not over yet because New Year's Eve is here as well!! I can't wait! I am so excited about my (extreme) Christmas gift that Paul, Sam & Rory got me. Now mind you I don't want to sound like a greedy gus, but this was awesome good craftyness!! Just look at the picture (Can you believe I am willing to post a picture of myself with no make up and hair not brushed on the web for all to see!)
OK, you can stop screaming "MY EYES, MY EYES" now (Are those my tonsils?). Look at the shear joy on my face. Anyone can tell this was the right gift for me. So what is it? It's my new cutting plotter!! I was so surprised and I could not get the smile off of my face for the whole day. In fact I am still smiling. Paul and the Kids were so happy that they surprised me. I have been up and cutting all day. I just have to say if you are in the market for a new cutter this is the one check out. If your an experienced cutter there is no learning curve at all and if your not, there are great forums out there ready to help. Here is my list of FAVS.
The Make the Cut forum can be found here:

Now I have been a member of all these sites for a long time and pretty much all I know I learned from all these great folks. New members are always welcome and if you are into or want to learn all there is about digital die cutting these are the peeps that can teach you. A shout out of thanks to all these great crafters.
I love the new ZING. I can't wait to start my Valentine's Day favors. The print and cut feature is amaZING. I have been printing and cutting all day. I hope everyone had a Christmas like mine. Thanks for stopping by and good wishes to all for a Happy, Healthy, and Crafty New Year!

Can you give me a brief overview of the zing? I just joined the KNK Zing Yahoo group (awaiting approval). I have the KNK Groove-ee, but I'm limited in cutting decals to pretty much single color vinyls- layering seems like the devil to get straight. But if you have this, does it print and cut or just cut? print on regular printer and then cut on zing using registration marks? On the Groove-ee I pretty much have to lay the vinyl out like it is shown on the mat and hope it cuts on it all the time. Can't scrimp on the vinyl much. Thanks in advance!
