Silhouette on my Wish List?

My husband begs me to write a wish list every year. This year I going to try to make one. With making gifts and making sure everyones Holiday season special, it is hard to sitting down and write a list for me but it is a lot of fun too!

There is one item that I do not know a lot about but I think it would be awesome to try it.
It is called the Silhouette! Have you heard about it??
It is a craft cutter! You can cut vinyl, card stock and more using this device and your computer.
If any of you know more about the Silhouette digital cutting machine please share.
I want to hear the good, bad and the ugly.

This would be a big gift so I would hate to get it and not use it or not enjoy using it.
Please share what you know.
I really would appreciate any feedback!

I've had the silhouette for a year now, and I LOVE it! I'm a scrapper so I use it for cutting paper. Through a lot of trial and error, I can use it pretty efficiently now with different thicknesses of paper. Be patient. Vinyl and transfer paper will be a lot easier because it's a specific setting on the cutter - no guessing and checking. I recommend getting a subscription so you can download a bunch of designs. The new software update makes the silhouette much more user friendly.

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....
