And really, my life would go on without it. But, I keep having visions of using it on the plane when traveling for work, at crops to plan out titles and embellishments without having to haul my cricut and carts, at the Dr. office when I'm waiting to be seen. I mean, my creative productivity will explode, right?
Ugh, but $300--I just can't fathom that when I've already spent hundreds on the machine and carts. Why can't they just make an iPhone ap and charge for that? I could much more easily justify an iPhone. |

Yeah, I'm trying to talk myself out of it too but the Flex Pay that HSN is having is making me really want it. I can't spend $300 at one time without feeling guilty about it but $59.99 a month doesn't seem so bad, right???? Hmmmm...what do you think?
GRRRRRR...I'm soooooooo weak when it comes to scrapbooking gadgets. Someone help me! |

Thanks to HSN and flex pay...I am letting the guilt go and getting one. I am tired of fighting with my husband over MY laptop so I can use my software. At least with the gyspy I can still craft without my computer nearby. |

What is the coupon code and where did they get it? The one I got from my e-mail is a 15% off coupon but it says it doesn't work on Today's Special Value.
Does the Flex Pay still works if you use a coupon? Thanks for any info I can get. |

Um...$300??? I had imagined $129...and I still wasn't going to buy one!
I think they're NUTS! I mean, yeah it's gimicky and cute, but it doesn't *do* anything. It's a fairly basic piece of software - just like Sure Cuts a Lot (which is a lot less expensive)!
This kinda bums me out actually

Well I already ordered it. It will be arriving next week. I'm so excited to play with it. I used all the codes, deals, etc from HSN when I ordered it this morning. It really is a good deal considering you are getting a lot in the bundle. It includes...
-Gypsy
-case
-skin
-USB cord to connect to computer
-cord to connect to Cricut for cutting
-cord to connect and link cartridges
-car charger
-2 pre-loaded cartridges (Gypsy Wanderings and Gypsy font)
-stylus
-and the Don Juan cartridge that is only available with the Cricut Create machine.
Pretty good deal in my opinion. | |

Just want to ask what is the Cricut Rewards Points?
Rileysmommy, were you able to do a flex pay on that today?
Sorry I have lots of questions but I'm really considering buying this but can't decide if I should get it now or wait till the presentation.
I did get a 15% off coupon from HSN that could save me $45 but I was wondering if the price will be lower when it airs.
Decisions, decisions. Please help me out here. Thanks |

At the moment, I'm not really interested. I just have the baby bug (which I love) and if I'm going to spend $250-$300, I'll buy an Expression. Or, if there's some crazy deal for black Friday, like $150, then I might buy it. For now, I'll wait and see how people are using it. | |

I've gone back and forth with it. I gave in and just ordered it! I figured, like a previous poster, that breaking it up into payments makes it not so bad!
I was wanting design studio, and now I have it and it's portable, too!
Can't wait to get it!
I've been wanting SCAL too, but that's gonna have to wait now! | |

I'm not interested at all. I do like the carts that come preloaded on it, don't get me wrong, but it's really not justifiable to me.
That's $300 that can go towards supplies, vinyl, carts, deep cutting blades and MORE!
You said it!! I have just about quit buying stuff so that I will have the time to enjoy and use all this other stuff I just "had to have"! I am gonna let the Gypsy wait! |
I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

I love hand cutting paper, but I'm caving and getting both on the 24th with ez pay. Being able to take the Gypsy anywhere so I can create stuff and weld images together to cut makes it totally worth it for me. In return I promise to be a good girl and use the vast amounts of supplies I already have. |

Temptation!!!! Wow!
I can't believe some of you have already figured out how to order it - kudos!
I went to the Gypsy site to see a video - pretty neat little gadget.
Tempting once.... tempting twice.... and it's not even the TS yet.
Just how much restraint can this Patterned Paper Ho have?

Color me silly - but I was dissapointed that the Gypsy won't allow true type fonts. If it did - I'd buy it in a heartbeat. But with the economy like it is - I can't justify buying it for what it does --need to do stuff like fix the DDs bathroom piping issues instead - how boring is that LOL

Same here. I love my baby bug (I think I bought it the 1st month that cricut's came out) and have around 12 carts or so.
So far, I've met all my scrapping needs without DS, SCAL or Gypsy so I don't think I will invest anymore (unless a cart comes out that I simple can't resist). | |

I just called and they said they only selected a few to be sold early and they are sold out of those. They said they should have more at Midnight Eastern time. (WATCH EARLY...They said they will probaby show it EARLY)
I think the bundle is $349.95 but they are going to sell it for $299
for the special!! I'm crossing my fingers and watching HSN All Night!! |

I watched HSN and am ho-hum about this Gypsy. My first thought was "SCAL", and my next thought was that it was a newer version of Design Studio. Meh. They'll probably say "meh" too, when the next version of Gypsy doesn't require so much tap-tap-tapping on the screen.
But if you're stuck in a plane a lot, or hellacious traffic each day, bedridden, or various other ways one can be stuck with nothing to do, this is a great way to be creative without lugging a lot of stuff!
