In love with a Cricut cartridge
Imagine that you are watching an old movie on television. This movie is in black and white, starring a glamorous kitten as the female lead. She comes complete with lots of lipstick, wearing a dress and is in the kitchen as expected. We find her happily preparing dinner, or perhaps preparing the perfect martini for her husband, who will soon be home from the office.
Fast forward to the husband reaching for the martini, while at the same time handing his wife a gift. He comments on the perfect drink of hers, as she exclaims, “To me, you shouldn’t have!” Now, we would assume that this almost flat box would contain a sparkling piece of jewelry, but not for this domestic goddess. Her husband knows what she really wants, a new Cricut cartridge of course!
Suddenly the world is bright and full of color! Our bored housewife is now a modern woman, sitting at her desk with her cricut, looking at her cartridge collection, planning her next move. Today, when “Honey” comes home from work, he’ll be greeted with her martini in an etched glass, just like his wife was able to create with a cricut cartridge and some crafts. Later, he will sit down to dinner and notice that his wife has been busy painting the kitchen walls, the dishes, the tablecloth, even the garbage can; using templates that she created herself using her cricut. He is pleased that she has chosen a cartouche with flowers, fauna, and scrolls. He has recently experienced his cricut craze, which resulted in a new superhero bathroom theme. Of course, he also likes Batman, Superman and SpongeBob, but he’s a little uncomfortable with the Caped Crusader himself sharing his bathroom.
True to confess, we would have hoped our star would have been happy simply designing and making greeting cards with her many cricut designs. However, that wasn’t in the script, and now this lady does everything from using a Cricut cartridge to decorate cakes to creating bulletin boards for the local school. She makes flyers for the nearby animal shelter and enjoys helping the bride-to-be plan everything from guest favors to a honeymoon scrapbook.
Our featured girl still enjoys cooking, especially when she gets to give gifts from her heart, labeled with tags she made herself. When she’s done, she can give it a whirl to make a sack lunch for her husband. Delighted to discover that the “Sweethearts” cartridge will allow her to create beautiful words of love, she is sure to use her new nickname. She is no longer a glamorous kitten, she will sign her name “Smitten Kitten”.
