I still have not seen anything that would entice me to pay that for membership to Cricut circle. I still feel it is an insult to the small crafters who save and budget to buy their products. Our savings and budgeting is what made them the sucess they are today. I would much rather use that money to buy craft stuff that I chose and talk to all my crafter friends for free on their websites and blogs.
Just not sure ifr it is worth the $$$. I agree with Penny, I like to choose the carts that I purchase and LOVE getting those for great prices!
