Shari’s Journey Through The Cricut Circle

My journey into paper crafting began in 2000, when I scrapbooked my first page; I was hooked. In 2010, I fell ill and was bed ridden for almost a year. As I began to show signs of improvement, I needed something to occupy my time and mental energy: enter the Cricut and Gypsy. I had no idea what I was doing, so I joined the newly formed Cricut Circle, thinking if I was going to learn, I wanted to learn from the best and most talented (not to mention the most addicted) out there. I spent the better part of 8 months just lurking in the background of the Circle blog and checking out the blogs of other Circle members. There is an awful lot of talent out there! In May 2011, I finally decided to begin trying the Cricut Circle Challenges. It has added a whole new dimension to my creative thinking, and I’ve begun trying things beyond cards. My Cricut has been great therapy for me while I recover.
