Silhouette subscription – worth it or not?
I've been a Silhouette junkie for over 4 years. If I knew then what I know now, I would have become a Silhouette groupie many years before that when my friend said, "Hey, I think you should check out this other machine." I looked into it, saw the price tag & told myself I didn't… Continue reading Silhouette subscription – worth it or not?
