Love me a gocco

A year or so ago I read about the Print Gocco online and became obsessed with finding out as much as I could about it. Being a stay-at-home Mom I do try to keep within a household budget and this purchase just seemed frivolous at the time. But I kept thinking about it, noticing all the cool projects other people were doing with their Gocco machines. Kirsten recently posted about recieving a Gocco for her birthday and that got me thinking again about all the fun stuff I could be making. I started checking out the Gocco Flickr group again and reading up on the supplies I would need. My husband caught wind of my re-emerging obsession and with my birthday coming up later this month, he bought me this from Paper Source and it arrived on Friday! No sense in waiting until my birthday when I knew it was coming. I ripped open the box and we set to work making our first print.

I am truly amazed at how easy this is and the professional quality that it produces. I can't wait to try it out with a photograph and of course, on fabric!!

What cute cards and I'm so tickled for you that you got this little printer. Happy birthday to you!

I've been reading about the Gocco for about the same amount of time that you mentioned. I need to check out the resources you mentioned as I'd like to know if I can print something on t-shirts with them.

Ohh man, I want one of those. In my house I think that could be considered a gift for both of us. Perhaps a wedding gift to us, from us?

Awesome gift! I have always wanted one.

I want one - I want one. Hmm how to get it into the house without the husband knowing... I have trouble already with all my stashes.

OMG! I 'm so jealous! I want one too, but like you just couldn't justify spending the money... yet. Maybe someday :) So Lauren will be at baz biz with me, and she's been printing on fabric with her goco, so when you come by to say hi, I'll introduce you two :)

Super cute and boy oh boy do I feel the yearning for one of those coming back. Like you I have managed to talk myself out of it a few times....but that can only last so long. They look fantastic. Tell me was it easy to know what to do? Or was there quite a bit of trial and error? I just can't seem to get my head around how it actually works!
