Easy Squeeze Glue Gun

Fiskars Easy Squeeze No Heat Or Cord Glue Gun

RRP: $24.95Â Glue Refills $4.99

These glue guns remind me of those toothpaste squeezers, you don’t really need them as despite your expectations the toothpaste, or in this case glue will still go everywhere.

I must not be the only one disapointed by these are I am seeing them marked down all over the internet. So why am I reviewing it ? Well it is great for arthritic hands (assuming you can use the trigger) and kids as the flow is some what controlled.Â It does tend to carry on oozing out after you stop pressing it, but that is the same with all compressed tubed stuff, again like toothpaste.

Another great thing about this luxury tube squeezing item is that it gets the glue out of the whole tube and not just the top section as some tube stuff, again like toothpaste.Â

Glimmer Mist

trisha michaels — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 08:21:41 +0000

Tattered Angels are the scrapbooking brains behind this fun product called Glimmer mist which comes in an array of assorted colors to tempt your creative tastebuds. I have dabbled a little with a bottle of this and I think I have glittered just about everything I can (I can see a lot of pink glitter themed albums in my midst).

Tip: Scrapbook Sharing

Meredith — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:00:26 +0000

My friend Wendy and I were talking the other day about scrapbooking and she shared a great tip with me.

Her tip:

If I do ever have kids I’m going to make a complete page then copy it at Kinkos – or just make two prints of everything, but keep two albums – the family complete album, but then an album for each kid to give to them for their family memories when the get married, move away, whatever. I know finding my husband’s childhood pictures were an absolute treasure trove to me!

I think this is a wonderful tip that honestly hadn’t come to my mind before.Â Hope it will be as useful to you as it was to me!
