FYI, for all those in the chicago area.  Crafty goods at the Handmade Market at the empty bottle on Feb 11th.  Me and my clocks with be there.  11-4 i think

I know this is a last minute thing, but could anyone make + mail me 3 badges to Sydney before the 13th of Jan? It's a tiny order and I hope someone can fill it at such short notice.
I'm hoping for 2 with pictures of a tuba, and one with a slogan based on the saying "to blow your own horn"
I dunno. I had thought of "I like to blow my own horn"

The person these are for is very um... assertive   and they play the tuba in an orchestra.

I'm willing to pay or swap
little help?

i have a 1 inch button maker, i can do this and send them tuesday, not sure if they will get there in time...PM me and let me know if this helps at all...i won't charge you at all, it's cool...i only have a 1 inch though

Sin is the new black, and even though i'm not a follower, i'll jump on this bandwagon...

just a note of experience...large amounts of resin create large amounts of heat and can shrink and curl to a point...in making a three foot round resin top table i ended up with a big curled piece of resin on the first attempt...i'll look and see if i can find the link to a website that had good tips with resin on table tops

PM me too if anything gets working...i don't always have a chance to get all the threads and i would love to get in on something

i can't seem to find any inexpensive stores (even goodwill!) near me. i live in arlington heights, any help would be much appreciated.

there's a goodwill in villa park on roosevelt and midwest rd...it's about 35-40 minutes from Arl. Heights

make him a mix cd, get some art supplies, print out something by an artist he likes and frame it, personalize a journal, start a memory book for you two to add to...

or personally, i'd love to get a handmade card with a note stating a night out for the two of us completely planned by the girl with no responsibilites on my part or decisions to be made and then have her do something really sweet then...that gives you a little time to plan to, just give him the option of a few days and let him pick one...

hope it helps...

I know this is as helpful as... can't come up with an un-helpful metaphor here. I live in LA now. But I'm from Glen Ellyn, went to high school in downtown Chicago, college at Northwestern... I visit a few times a year.

If you take up the knitting thing you'll have plenty of people to meet with. Don't be afraid of the needles! 

me an knitting don't go well...tried it alone...could use some lessons, but they're so damn expensive

anyone who wants to PM me i will send my mix to craft by for them, i make great craft to mixes...i'll do my best to get to everyone...

i wish i could knit
