I got this coupon in my email today.. thought I would share it with anyone in the area... the grand opening is July 8th but the coupon is good til the 31st.

They are also offering classes if anyone is interested.

Hi there everyone!!

I have a question for you all. I could of sworn I saw it on here where someone took napkins and cut out the decoration, eg. flowers, hearts, ect. and somehow used them as transfers. It looked very cool and I am pretty sure they used it on greeting cards.. but I also think they used it on candles and a few other things. I tried to do a search both on the forum and on google but I have had no luck. Does anyone know what I am talking about???

Your help is greatly appriciated!! 

[S*S studio]

I just discovered a brand new store. It's only been open a month. It is in Port Moody (Lower Mainland, BC). It is called S*S studios. They are a small store but the cater to Semi-Precious stones. They will soon be offering classes... and are taking down names and information for those who are interested. They will also have a website soon but it is not currently up and running (althought they have their address which you will see below). I had a nice chat with them today and they seem like very nice people. Their store was very open and clean and had a lot of pre-made jewlery for sale as well as offered whole sale supply sales. Their business card highlights the following: Artisan, Semi-Presious, Findings, Jewlery, Stones. If you live in the area, check them out!

OK, so I did a search and I couldn't come up with anything to answer my question. I have this Citrine stone ....


(sorry pictures aren't very good, much prettier then the picture)

... nothing fancy I know, but it is kinda special to me (I had given it to my grandmother when I was younger, along with a much larger one, and I got it back when she passed away in Jan of '97 and I have had it laying around since and really do not want to loose it) and I really want to make it into a pendant. It doesn't have to be anything fancy... just a simple wire wrap. However my problem is... I don't know how to wire wrap!!! I have tried to find simple instructions ect. but can't seem to find anything of the sort.

Can anyone help me out here? Would be greatly appreciated!!! 

Thanks so much!!

Hey, I am trying to relocate a posting I saw, and I am pretty sure it was on this site I saw it. I have tried to search for it through the search engine as well as manually searching and I cant find it. I read a post about a grandmother, I think, or a mother that created a fabric (or felt) book for a small child. It had letters with a related imaged to the corrisponding letter. If someone knows what I am discribing can you please send me the link to the post???
Thanks so much,

Hey Fellow Craftsers!!

I thought I had made this post the other day but purhaps the post didnt go through or for some reason it got deleted.      ANYWHO.....

I am very interested in making custom air fresheners... preferably the paper / cardboard type that you dangle from your rear view mirror.  I can not find any suppliers of blank air freshener cards nor can I find instructions on making them from scratch.  The only things I could find were fun foam ones and the gel style ones.  Can anyone here help me with this interest??   

Thanks so much...

Happy Holidays!

[Hey Everyone, Merry Christmas!!]

Hey Everyone, Merry Christmas!! 

I was wondering if anyone here knew or had any ideas what I could possibly make with fabric ribbon.  I have two different sizes of ribbon; 4inchesX3yards & 6.75inchesX9feet.  I found o whole bunch real cheap and I thought I could easily find something to do with it, but I decided I wanted to do something good with it then just anything.  I have a few different patterns ranging from christmas to general print to solid colour.  Does anyone have any ideas for me???

Thank you so much! Happy Holidays, look forward to hearing about your ideas!!
