It'd be better if the caps were secured to the nipple so you wouldn't lose them. But a fine product!

Best Wilton Mini Squeeze Bottles 2/Pkg-6 Oz. Deals
What is there to say, they are great little squeeze bottles. I put oils in them and love that they come with lids so when they fall they do not leak or spill.

Review of Silhouette Metallic Sketch Pen Pack
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $6.99
Sale Price: $6.29
Today's Bonus: 10% Off

I was really excited to get my sketch pens in the mail. I was planning on using the silver pen on my wedding invitations. The pens worked great! They drew a smooth line and the metallic colors are glittery and shiny. The only problem is the amount of ink in each pen. I was only able to draw 25 invitations with one pen. I wish they had more ink, or would at least let me buy only the silver pen instead of the whole pack. Overall, the pens were great, but not for a large job.
I've been looking all over for a suitable replacement, something that can print on dark paper, to little luck. I really wish these pens would just work the way they're supposed to.
I ended up using the silver instead and it did the job.
Silver gold and brown work just fine.
shipping was great.

I really love the look of these pens but it can be frustrating when you're trying to use them to create a background effect and certain parts don't come out right. I find they are best used for shorter sentiments, ex. "happy birthday" "love, so and so" etc. When it comes out right it looks really great!Best Deals for Silhouette Metallic Sketch Pen Pack
I love the way these pens look--that is, when they actually decide to work. They will stop and start intermittently, usually starting clean and then fading by the end. And to top it off, I can get maybe three to four prints out of a pen before it stops working altogether. Either they clog or the manufacturer puts an incredibly small amount of actual ink in each pen. Either way, not worth the high cost.I've been looking all over for a suitable replacement, something that can print on dark paper, to little luck.

Honest reviews on Silhouette Metallic Sketch Pen Pack
I was very unhappy with these pens. They left a thin pale line of inkas if the pens were running dry already. I did a double cut and even then it was still very thin, but usable. The ink got used up after a few small designs, and the pen is ready for the garbage! Also the colors were totally not as shown on the pen cap. Great idea but bad quality! Very disappointing!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Silhouette Metallic Sketch Pen Pack

Sculpey Amazing Eraser Clay - 6 Colors/1oz each Reviews
We received this as a much desired gift. My girls both have ridiculously extensive Iwako collections, so the idea of making their own erasers was very appealing. We're a crafty bunch and are quite familiar with the Sculpey brand we love it!
With this particular clay, however, it was a bit tricky to produce a product that actually erased. After much trial and error, we determined that the erasibility of the product was dependent on the baking time. Per Sculpey.com:
"Bake at 250 °F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per 1/4 in (6 mm) thickness. DO NOT MICROWAVE. Baking should be completed by an adult. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME"
Those familiar with "normal" Sculpey will notice that this is NOT the same temperature as usual.
One factor which could lead to a less than ideal eraser is the calculation of the baking time. The designs that we came up with were rather small neither of my girls seemed to want a brick/paperweight sized eraser...picky, aren't they. Anyway, smaller size = smaller parts, of varying sizes and thickness. It is difficult to determine the bake time of, for example, a strawberry that is an inch at the top, tapering down to an 1/8th of an inch at the bottom. Add to that the leaves and stem, each with their own thickness, and you end up needing a degree in advanced calculus just to determine a proper baking time.
So, purchase this product knowing that:
1. Over baking ='s no erasing.
2. Determining an ideal bake time involves a learning curve.
3. Once #'s 1. and 2. are overcome, this stuff makes wonderfully fun erasers, sure to generate the admiration of one's peers and a possible sales opportunity for your kids.
And, finally,
4. Sculpey is rather chintzy with this clay. Don't expect to get that much of each color.
All in all, I would still recommend this product for children 7-8 and above.

My grand daughter likes crafts. There seems to be plenty of this Sculpey clay to keep making erasers for days. There are many colors to use, and every day when we speak on the phone, she tells me what new erasers she has made. I am particularly pleased that there seems to be enough clay to last a long time. I tried the erasers, and I have to admit I have used better erasers, but they will erase.Best Deals for Sculpey Amazing Eraser Clay - 6 Colors/1oz each
My 2 girls love Sculpey clay, so when I saw they offered clay to make erasers I knew they would love that too. They had lots of fun making all kinds of erasers, but that's where the fun ends. The clay does NOT erase. It just leaves a colored smear on the paper. If you are looking for something fun and creative for your kids buy some regular Sculpey clay, but don't waste your money on this. Its not worth it.Honest reviews on Sculpey Amazing Eraser Clay - 6 Colors/1oz each
This is the 3rd time we've purchased this item. My creative son loves to make erasers of his own vision. He enjoys the sculpting of the clay and the baking. He uses the erasers in school and all his friends comment on them. I would recommend this product since it is imaginative and not messy at all!!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sculpey Amazing Eraser Clay - 6 Colors/1oz each
I bought this for my son who picks his nails. I thought this would give him something to pull apart in school and also use as an eraser. Unfortunately the eraser colored the paper rather than erasing.Friday, October 17, 2014

Mediocre quality. There is only a little bit of sparkly-ness to the silver, but rest are not bright, reflective, sparkly as you'd expect. They are fairly firm, more like a soft wax crayon than smoooshy oil pastels. (I prefer more soft)
At $4 a set, they are okay value, but when you add in $5 for shipping, they are not worth it. For that price, stick with good quality, like VanGogh or Sennelier brand.
I also bought a set of Fluorescent oil pastels (pictured here by mistake). Same story: mediocre quality, too firm, not brilliant and opaque. Altho they shipped together, I was charged $5 shipping for each. (urgh!)

If you'd like to see what an amateur can accomplish in line weight and design with these remarkable pens watch a short music video I made in one day drawn entirely with the Prismacolor chisel tip pens. There's nothing as good as these pens at varying the weight of the lines in your drawings.

The handel is very nice on these brushes. Very comfortable, and soft. Not like the hard feel of the wood handles. Brush seems well made and has a nice feel to it. I bought this to add to my brush collection for my watercolor paints. I will be buying more of this series for sure!

Review of Mount Vision Pastel Company 50-Piece Workshop Set
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $197.50
Sale Price: $111.39

I wanted some bright, diverse colors to add to my pastel collection for more colorful paintings and this set fit the bill. My pastel collection is pretty mixed, mostly Sennelier and Unison with darks by Ludwig and select highlights from Schmincke. These Mt. Vision colors are bright, reminiscent of a Neiman oil painting! I don't understand the previous reviewer's comment about these pastels being "unbending". I don't expect my pastels to bend, but these are generally soft, a bit less so than Schmincke or Unison, but nowhere near the "hard" pastel types and very good inbetween balance.

These Pastels are AMAZING, they blend wonderfully and there are so many shades and tints available! I can tell that they are individually crafted with care. Mount Vision Pastels doesn't have that film like layer around them that usually is off color or waxy. Every mark, even strait out of the box, is true to the color I am expecting. Thanks for putting so much care into creating such a wonderful product for those of us who use pastels to enjoy. Do you happen to make any other mediums?Sunday, July 27, 2014

These are awesome play-doh toys! We got them for our daughter who is almost 2 (purchased when 1). She loves stamping them into the play-doh and telling us what animal or object she made. All of the cut-outs are different and are a great value for the money! Each cut-out is very sturdy and have taken lots of abuse from playdates with other kids (including older cousins)! The rolling pin is great because it rolls like a real one (we have one that does not roll as well from a different set). Our daughter learned how to roll out the play-doh and make it flat for cut-outs. Great buy!Best Deals for School Smart Animal and Objects Clay Cutters with Rolling Pin - 4
