Thanks, Wayne!

After all the trouble I went through with the Cricut and not being able to get through to ProvoCraft, I was ready to explode!

The answer to my question of why my Cricut DS kept telling me that my (only) 6x12 mat was the wrong size (there is no other size for my original Cricut) was finally given to me, not by Cricut personnel and not by ProvoCraft personnel, but by someone on the forum page. I still don't understand why I couldn't get through by phone, email or fax.

I finally got an email from a guy named Wayne, from ProvoCraft. He was sorry it took so long to get back to me and what was my question? Oh, boy! I wrote back to him, explaining that I had gotten an answer from another crafter on the forum page. I did ask him why it took over two weeks to hear from someone. He never answered that one, but instead, he offered me a cartridge of my choice for all my trouble!

I jumped at the chance to get one that I had wanted: Storybook. I told him that I was saving up for it (the cost is extravagant! $90!) and if he was serious, I'd love to have that one. He wrote back and said it was on its way!

A few days later I opened the mailbox and there it was! Storybook. Mine. All mine.

I've had fun using it. It has a nice font with all types of changes, plus all types of swirls, leaves, flowers, birds, a crown and some word phrases. In with that, there are several creative features: Tall/border, shorty with holes, fancy corner, accent frame, shadow and accent blackout.
