A New Crafty Video AND Supersized TastyLinks!



My gal pal Inky a.k.a. Rebecca Peck and I made this video for Streuter Glue Film recently. She posted it on YouTube last night and it’s really a hoot in a handbasket! Plus it’s a revolutionary product so you’ve gotta watch!

This morning was one of those, why do I have to be the grown-up mornings? My kid is a world class slob. I call her The Slobovian. There is no surface in that room, including the floor, that isn’t covered with schtuff. We ask her to clean it quarterly. Is that so much? Is that so wrong? My maid who comes every two weeks just to sweep and mop for me because of my asthma can’t even go in her room because there’s that much crap on the floor. So this morning, it became a tearfest because Mom had the unmitigated gall to pronounce it time for a clean up. If only she’d let go of a few of her tchotckes and knick knacks...she’s a hoarder that one. I have absolutely no idea where she gets that...

Super Linky Love Shout out to Corrine at Articus Studio! She's got a great art and craft site and she's a delight! Thanks for your help with the wavy copper foil tape, Corrine!

Today’s Linky Love Post is SUPERSIZED with links from the Crafty Bloggers AND the Bead Babe Bloggers. The gang from Bead Bloggers were kind enough to post a link to the 411 on my classes and in return I’m sharing their links this week. They’re all incredibly talented folks and if you’d like a true craftstravaganza, grap a cuppa and get to clickin’!

Neat! I think I would buy both for use in different type of projects. You can never have too many types of glue! Have a super weekend, Margot!

A bit of trivia I learned from attending a taping of Jeopardy at CES on Thursday. Merv Griffin wrote that song and has so far made approx. 80 million on it, and his estate continues to reap the rewards of his little ditty.

Cute video and seems like an interesting product. I'm just a beader but I've suddenly been bitten by the craft bug and have a yen to make papercrafts. I'll have to look for more info on Gluefilm.
