First, I have to tell you a li'l story:-
I bought the “Cricut Christmas Cards” cart, only to discover that the front cardboard insert showed the cart. as being the “Christmas Village” one, instead. (strange, eh?) The back insert showed the “Christmas Cards”; the cart. was “Christmas Cards” (phew!!!), as were the overlay and Cricut Rewards certs. (another phew!!)
But…..seeing as I utilize the front cardboard insert for the cover of my clear VHS tape holder, whereby I store my Solutions carts, I called ProvoCraft (PC) to see if they would send me JUST the front cover for this cart. They said “no problem”. When I received it, it wasn’t just the front cover but the entire “Christmas Cards” cartridge. I was flabbergasted! Contacted PC again, thanking them. :-)
Soooooo, what to do w/ TWO Christmas Cards cart’s??? Well, let’s see. I know!!! I’ll give one away as “blog candy” --- as a “thank you” to all my wonderful visitors. :-) The only thing is……this package will have the front cardboard insert missing.
I honestly HAVE NOT used this cart. I only snipped off the top of the package (see red arrow, pointing to the snipped area), guaranteeing that someone could tell that I wouldn’t have been able to remove the cart. So it comes completely intact w/ everything else:- cartridge, overlay, back cover, and Cricut Rewards cert. I've included a pic of the back of the cart. (taken out of "my" package, not the one you're getting.) :-)

Have a great week!!!
I just wanted to share with you that your post about the Cricut cartridge duplicate that you received reminded me of a saying that my Grandma Brown use to say. She and I were very close and she always had these sayings and quotes that she would share with me. She told me she was sharing her "wisdom". At the time, I was a young teenage girl (I now am the mother of two teenage boys). I use to roll my eyes because I thought she was just so goofy. It seemed like any and every situation that life threw my way, she had her pearls of "wisdom" to share. When my first true love broke up with me she told me that when a door closes a window opens. At the time I thought she was just being her goofy old self. Now being the mom of two teenagers I find myself using many of her old sayings and quotes. Your story about the Cricut cartridge duplicate from PC made me think of two of her sayings. She always said, "Gail, what goes around comes around. So make sure you like what you are sending around because some day you will get that treatment right back." She also said, "Good things happen to good people." Well, it is most definitely obvious that you are a very generous person (a good person as Grandma Brown would say) and you are definitely going to have a lot of good coming around your way because you are sending good around. Kudos to you!
