Cricut vs. Silhouette Cameo

I purchased my Cricut Expression a year ago and to be honest I really haven't used it near as much as I thought I would.  I had big ideas and grand goals that never really developed into anything at all.  I STRUGGLE with the stupid sticky mat and literally  have thrown one away because I couldn't get the paper off of it.  I know all you Cricut users are gasping right now but I was so frustrated that I just gave up.  I know it's suppose to be super sticky to hold everything in place but when your project rips because the mat won't let go then whats the point!  Anyways I have been looking at other options and I think I am going to sell it and get the Silhouette Cameo  It's the same price as the Cricut but you don't have to buy the entire cartridge to get one image, which I have never really done that because I have the SCAL program.  So wondering if any of you have the either machine and what are your thoughts on them? 

Pickled Pink Boutique

I am learning so much about things little girls love since working with the ladies at Pickled Pink Boutique.  I had no idea most of this stuff even existed but what I am finding is so cute I wish I had a little girl that I could spoil.  Here are just a few things I have learned.  LaLaLoopsy any ideas what that is?  Look how cute this little doll is.

 

Of course then there is Hello Kitty.  Funny my sister loved Hello Kitty back in the day.  Amazing she is still around and still so popular.

Doesn't everyone want to be a princess?

Angry birds is a huge hit as well.  I have heard about this game but have never actually seen it.

I am so glad I have friends who have helped me get to know what is hip for the young girls now days.  I seriously would of been completely lost.
