Cricut Expression Tutorials

Cricut Expression How To Tutorials

So the Cricut Expression is the coolest crafts machine out there and we all know it. But, is it really as easy as they say to use? My answer is yes and no. You can do just about anything with this thing but it's important to realize you don't have experiment completely on your own.

There are tons of cricut tutorials out there to help. Some are professionally made, and some are made by some "crafty" people who film themselves completing their crafts while explaining every step.  There's really nothing you can do that hasn't been done before by someone. Not to say that original ideas are non-existent, but the basic steps in creating a type of project are probably documented somewhere online and can be found with a simple search. The Cricut community is huge, and most of its legions put out a lot of helpful material.

I first got a sense of this when I tried to cut fabric. I really wasn't sure my Cricut Expression would really do it like it said in the ads, but I found several tutorials showing exactly how to do it. The best part is that I didn't just find 1 tutorial, I found tons. I was even able to see some really inspiring fabrics which of I course I stole for my project. I haven't worked with fabric since and I don't plan to anytime soon but it's nice to know that however I choose to use my cricut expression machine, I will be able to find a video to follow along with.

I invested quite a bit in this little machine and my worry was that I would set out to sea all by myself. This couldn't be farther from the truth. I've never been much of an instruction manuals and I admit I have the attention span of a goat, so having these grassroots resources available online 24 hours a day.

I guess I'm like a lot of other people out there having fun with my cricut expression.

Emery Cat Scracther

Emery Cat The wildly popular Emery Cat is getting a marketing boost. I'm not even sure that Emery Cat needed any help because I the product everywhere! Allstar Products Group is behind the new campaign which I expect to see starting next week during National Pet Week. One thing I have learned since I became addicted to As Seen On TV items, and their silly commercials, is that people love to buy stuff for their pets. The As Seen On TV pets market is loaded with products and they keep on coming. Just this year alone we've seen the Dog-E-Minder, Bark Off, Snuggie for Dogs and the list goes on and on. So it's no surprise that Emery Cat is a huge hit and I expect it they'll be selling them by the truck load. I've heard complaints regarding over charging on the official Emery Cat website, but I've also read in forums that the problem was addressed and corrected. But, when ordering any product online pay attention to what you are doing. The Emery Cat is a buy one get one free offer so a lot of people probably check off 2 instead of 1 on the order form. That's the most likely source of the problem so be careful. I happen to think the Emery Cat is great for any cat who will actually use it. Some cats take to it immediately because of the catnip infused surface, but others don't seem to care. If your cat is one who is drawn to the Emery Cat, then you'll be happy with awesome little scratching board.

Dog Barking Control With Bark Off

The Bark Off Dog Barking Control device is making quite a stir these days. It's obviously one of the most successful As Seen On TV Store items to come out in 2010 but does it work? Well first, perhaps I should explain what it is intended to do.

The Bark Off is an apparent solution to the annoying problem of dog barking. We've all been faced with this at one time or another and it can be excruciating. You know, you are trying to sleep and the neighbor's dog is barking all night, or you're trying to watch TV and you can't seem to quiet your dog.

Some dog barking is a really great thing. It's an obvious deterrent to for criminals and can alert you to all types of dangers, but what do you when you just don't want to hear it anymore? Or better yet when you can't stand it anymore. Some type of dog barking control is in order, but which one?

Shock collars seem inhumane and training a dog not to bark can be difficult. Even if you are successful you might risk the dog's understanding of when to bark at the sign of trouble. After all, barking is an instinctual way for out dogs to communicate with us and stifling that might be a bad thing.

So the Bark Off becomes an interesting option because of how it works. Basically, when turned on it emits a harmless ultrasonic wave that is not audible to humans but quickly gets the dog's attention.

Whenever your dog begins to yap, the unit is activated and the ultrasonic wave is emitted. It does no harm to the dog and simply interrupts the dog's barking pattern. The theory is that if you can distract the dog's attention from whatever the cause of its barking is, then it will stop. The ultrasonic wave just commands the dog's attention and they forget what got them barking in the first place.

In theory this is an awesome idea, but in practice it might prove difficult. If the Bark Off really works, I for one want to know about it because it could be the perfect solution to my dog barking issues.

My particular problem involves a neighbor's dog. It's really a great dog but he loves to bark late at night and although my neighbor's say they try to control it, it's become a nuisance for everyone. Unfortunately, the area the dog likes to hang out is literally 10 feet from my bedroom window. The Bark Off is supposed to work at a decent distance so theoretically I could place the unit by my bed and flip it on at night. If it's successful, then the dog will either stay quiet or move somewhere else and my problem will be solved.

Hopefully, this little invention will put an end to the annoying yapping of our little friends but in my opinion the jury is still out. It's tough to imagine that a simple little contraption like this could be the answer but sometimes the solutions to some of our biggest problems are really easy.
