I also know i've posted about this before, i think two summers ago. I just thought that you would like to know that I love it just as much now as I did before.

(and yes.. i've been a posting fool lately, not sure what my deal is. The kids are in bed and my hubby is working an overtime night shift. lol)

I have that exact same one, and I <3 it sooo much! I love my slushies!!!

So Kristin, do you buy premade syrups, make your own, or what?

Ooooh I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED that. My sister has this massive margarita maker thingy that is just awesome, but I can't justify the $300 price tag (or whatever it is). This is WAY more up my alley.

i love when you get on posting sprees Kristin!

Yep, I totally need that!!! :) YUMMY!

That looks so cool, I would love something like that! :)

Ooh, we used to have an ice shaver, 2 different ones actually, and we loved the slushies, but hardly ever made them because the machines were such a pain to use. If this one works well I may have to get one. The boys would love it! (and I would, too :))

Ooooh that looks fun!

My hubby would LOVE that!

Yum! We so need that!

We need that... I mean really NEED it. It's going to be 104 here today! The kids would think I'm the best if I got it too! :)

Oh that's awesome!

nope! i just make either crystal light (for me) or a bit of koolaid for the kids. I figure this way it helps keep the sugar down from using syrup :)

I don't find this a pain at all. You just stick the ice in the top and turn it on :) We buy bags of ice so that we don't have to worry about keep refilling ice trays.

Oh that is a great idea, re: crystal light! Now I really need one!

I think I might need one too! :)

wow that looks lush!

Something I didn't know I needed until now LOL!

So, this would be good for, like, pina coladas, daiquiris, etc.?????? :) Thinkin' I may need one too! :)

*eta: oooh, and they apparently have one at my local Target!!

Oh I might need this now. I love the idea of crystal light!

How sad is it that I own that and have only used it once?

very sad joana.. very very sad.

Ok so do you freeze your drink in ice cube trays or do you shave ice and pour the drink over it? :-)

well i put the water/crystal light to the line on the container where it shows and then i put my ice in the top and shave it and then i drink it.. LOL!

Yes - very sad. You need to start using it! :) I'm getting ready to shave up some ice right now!

How cool is that!? WE just use the blender but that looks like it would work much better!:thumbup:

Whoa! Gotta get me one!

Oh, I used to have something similar and ate snowcones all the time.

mmmmm! I loved shaved ice! I might be making a trip to Target tomorrow...

And how genius to use crystal light!

yum

oh I might have to see if I can get that when I go to the "big" city next week. LOL I've heard you can use liquer to make "adult" snow cones.. like midori which is watermelon flavored.
