When precision is critical for the smaller task, you can rely on these scissors to make an accurate cut because these are the best detail cutting scissors on the market today!
Don’t you hate it when the stickers stick to your scissors and you can’t peel them back off without tearing it?! I don’t have that problem anymore now that I have the Cutter Bee Titanium Scissors. You’ll see that while making those nice, clean cuts the Cutter Bee Scissors has a non-stick coating that aides while cutting the stickers or tape needed for my project.
My pair also came with a nice snap-on safety cover for when I’m not using them - always use the cover because these scissors are very sharp. I absolutely love these and encourage you to get some for your family and friends. Get your Cutter Bee Honey Bee Scissors today for about $15. You’re going to love ‘em! 
I actually have three pair of Cutter Bee scissors - this one, a pink one and another yellow just for ribbon. My kids love crafting with me and I’ve let them use these scissors if I am sitting next to them and they love the reach the scissors have. Since the tips are so sharp you can get into the smallest of spaces.
Flip Video Camera Review
June 4, 2008
I recently purchased the Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder after seeing how easy my friend Holly was able to create video tutorials. The camera has built in software, runs on batteries and has a flip out usb connection so you are easily able to get the video onto your computer. I highly recommend this camera for creating crafty video tutorials.
Flip Video Ultra Series
If you are looking for something to use in a casual setting, this portable video recorder is a great option. One of the highlights of this little camera seems to be how easily you can get the videos off of it. All it requires is that you plug the USB (which flips up from the camera) into your computer USB port. Once you’ve got it plugged into your computer if you look under my computer you’ll see a blue icon (if you are on a PC, not sure about a Mac) and it installs the program (a one time installation).
After the installation is completed it’s very simple to get the videos to your computer. You’ll open the program, find your videos and click save video. One negative thing about the USB stick that you plug into your computer, if you aren’t using a laptop the camera might weigh down the USB port. There is also a cord available if you would like to go that route. Again, if you are looking for something to use for casual use, this is it.
If you find yourself technology challenged, this flip video camera is perfect for you. It’s pretty much idiot-proof and self explanatory. You can get much easier than one-touch recording. It’s also extremely affordable.
There are optional accessories for the Flip Video Ultra Series that you can add such as a tripod, carrying case, cables to go, etc but you do not need them in order to use your camera. It’s literally ready to go when you receive it. It comes with batteries and once you install them, you are ready to shoot your first video.
This is a great camera to use for creating craft video tutorials - you can prop it up either yourself or with a tripod and record. Once you get the video to your computer you can edit to include on screen instructions or music.

Sculpey III 30 Color Sampler
May 15, 2008
Sculpey is America’’s original oven bake clay. It is soft and pliable, works and feels like ceramic clay, but will not dry out when exposed to air. It’s easy to use to create the most creative pieces and figures. Shape it into your desired form and bake according to package instruction (typically 275 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes for every 1/4 inch of thickness). Once cooled it can be sanded, drilled, carved, and painted with water based acrylics.
My kids and I have made beads, buttons, small animals and abstract art with sculpey. I love making custom beads for jewelry! It’s easy for kids to work with and since it does not dry out quickly, they don’t have to rush to complete their project.
Non-toxic. Ideal for all ages. The 30 Color Sampler Pack includes thirty one-ounce bars of color. There are basic bright and pearlescent colors in this set. Detailed instructions and project brochures help you get started. Add these quick and fun craft supplies today - order your Sculpey III 30-Color Sample Pack for only $18.99.
Crop-A-Dile Eyelet & Punch Kit - Lime
May 15, 2008
I love the Crop-A-Dile! This tool punches and sets eyelets, snaps, or any metal embellishment into your project. Punch through multiple layers of card stock, leather, plastic, metal, chipboard, acrylic, fabric, wood, poly, and much more! It’s very easy (even with sore hands) to press together to punch your items.
Currently, less than $25 (worth every dime) will get you this kit. The Crop-A-Dile tool with lime handles comes with the slim carrying case also lime in color, and 400 metallic eyelets (50 each of 8 colors). A large compartment inside the case can be used for storing Designer Eyelets and Snaps or other embellishments you may have. I’ve had the Crop-A-Dile tool since it came out and am so glad I bought it. I’ve previously used tools that were loud to use as well as difficult to use, and the time saved with using the Crop-A-Dile is well worth it.
This gets used all the time because it’s so simple and easy to punch holes and insert the eyelets. If you enjoy creating scrapbooks, making cards, embellishing projects or doing crafts this is a must have! Get your Crop-A-Dile Eyelet & Punch Kit today. You will not be disappointed.
