A great tool : 2 Way Glue Pen

Recently I've discovered a new wonderful product: The 2 Way Glue Pen. 
 

2 way? How so, you might ask.  If you apply the glue and adhere it right away, it works as a traditional glue.  But if you let it dry, it retains it's stickiness without being wet.  I found it particularly helpful with my Cricut mat.  After many, many, many uses and scrapes the adhesive on the mat wears out.  Apply the 2 way glue (it starts out a blue color and turns clear when dry - how ingenious), let it dry, and viola! You've saved your mat.  Just remember not to use too much glue or use it too soon after applying.  Or else your paper will permanently adhere to the mat. Then you'll be frowning as you scrape the ruined paper off the mat.

Happy crafting!

My latest obsession: Pinterest

What is Pinterest? Only my organizing fanatic's dream come true!  Have you ever thought, "I remember seeing something like that somewhere. But I can't remember where I saw it?"  Well, Pinterest is the answer!  It's a virtual pin board that allows you to "pin" any images from any website.  It then remembers the link for you.  You can create different boards for different categories.  Organize them, rearrange them, and share them.  You can also search and take peeks at other people's pins and repin them if you like it.  It's a wonderful tool to use if you're planning parties and gathering ideas.   You do need to be invited to join, but it's pretty easy to get.  Here's a peek at some of my boards:

Dol Goims

Here we go again.  We had the pleasure of creating customized dohl goims for a little boy who was adopted by a wonderful family.  The family wanted to honor the boy's heritage by giving him a true Korean dohl party, including the dohl goims to decorate the head table.  They chose an under-the-sea theme with blue and gold colors.  Here are the results:

What an honor for Elenique to have been part of this special occasion!
