My ever growing Cricut Cart Collection



So.....I have a new addiction. Buying carts on Ebay! I didn't realize how cheap you can get carts there. For a year I have been eyeing the Spongebob Squarepants cart (all those pics of Kenji that I've yet to scrap), but I couldn't bring myself to pay $90 for it, and I NEVER saw it go on sale.
Well Monday I took a look at Ebay and saw that the bidding was in the final 2 minutes, so I put in my max bid of $20, and I actually got it for $14.60 and free shipping! Next, I thought I'd try aquiring Forever Young, and made my max bid of $22.00. I lost a couple of items before I was able to win one for $20.30. Let's just say that I'm hooked. Which led me to my next dilemna.......how to store my every increasing collection.

After my shelves took a tumble this past weekend, I'm using every square centimeter of my closet, so I'm needing to purge and make better use of my space.

I found a great idea on YouTube! So I took a standard shoebox (the booklets fit perfectly), made a cute little bag for my carts from Bags Tags and Boxes cart (shopping bag 3"), designed an index card on Design Studio (George and Basic Shapes) and dusted off my P-touch and made labels.

I made sure to write all the Serial numbers in the booklet (just in case).

I've got my next shoebox ready for all the new carts I'm sure to be buying on Ebay....
