Seems to be well made and would buy again, or as a gift for someone else who needed this product.
Have to see if it stands the test of time... :-)

Reviews of Wenger 98831 Minathor Complement Set by Bergeon
Broader view, this set would be very beneficial not only for the watch repair but also for use with tiny screws so you don't need to buy another micro screwdriver set.

Review of Faber-Castell Creative Studio Getting Started Art Kit Manga Drawing
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $31.00
Sale Price: $19.65

This is a nice little introductory kit for anyone interested in starting their own magna style comic book. It is pretty elementary so I do not recomend for anyone with previous drawing experience or training, but as an introduction to drawing magna style comics it is quite nice.
It comes in a compact reusable storage case approximately 8" X 10" that comes with a wood drawing model doll, 3 pitt artist pens, an HB Drawing pencil, an eraser, a pencil sharpener, a magna sketch pad (including tracable practice figures and comic book layout pages), and an instructional booklet with clear step by step instructions on how to draw all aspects of magna comics and how to put together a comic book.

I purchased this product for my daughter and she just absolutely loves it. She is an aspiring artist with a passion for Manga and this kit was just right for her. She really enjoys the fact that she can pose the mannequin that is included with the kit, in many different poses so that she can see her character in 3D before she draws them to capture what she is trying to put on paper. It will be very interesting in the future to see what she creates with practice.Best Deals for Faber-Castell Creative Studio Getting Started Art Kit Manga Drawing

Quill & Ink Set Review
The quill is very nice and pretty. My daughter had been wanting a set since 3rd grade. We waited until 6th grade. Still too young, she spilled the ink within 30 minutes of opening it! Our fault for not monitoring. Advice: nice set if you are looking for one, ink is permanent so be warned!

This is a very great quill and i love writing with it, the is a very good quality and doesn't fade from my cotton paper even after being dipped in water, you're better off trying to find it somewhere else though i just bought this for about seventeen dollars at a barnes &noble storeBest Deals for Quill & Ink Set
I purchased this for a friend's birthday. It is a very good quality quill and the ink is nice as well. However, on the reverse side of the packaging, it shows a box price of around $16.00 USD. This is nearly half of the price on Amazon, and nearly 1/5 the price some of the Used & New listings on here. Be aware of the price discrepancy and either bite the bullet for convenience sake, (which is one hell of a convenience, don't get me wrong) or embark on a quest to find this same set for cheaper.Honest reviews on Quill & Ink Set
I love this set and have used it quite a bit the ink is just the right thickness to flow smootly evenly and if you like the feel of writing with a quill pen on cotton paper you will love this the only issue is the price you can get this pen and quill set for a 1/4 of the price listed here at another retailer and yes this is retail price too. I bought mine for 18.00 yes the same exact thing and was shocked to see the cost here. Everything is the same pen ink packaging and vendor. Pays to shop around. The retailer I purchased it from a store in the town square in Williamsburg. I checked the store online and they list it for the price I purchased it for. Its a great gift for some one like me who loves calligraphy and who just loves to write on quality paper with a quality pen and ink. It was a little treat to myself. I did not open it for months until I got much better at calligraphy. You will enjoy it and I dont recommend it for kids it is an adult gift unless the child is extremely careful and its not done near carpeting on on a bed any material that can stain. I also purchased real quill pens the original and used the dipping ink and wrote on cotton paper it gives you a feel for what our ancestors wrote with and brings you a little closer to our American heritage was so happy that I bought it and when I return to Williamsbug I am going to purchase a few more the ink is indigo I believe but looks son beatiful on the paper its lighter on paper than it looks in the bottle. great gift for a soon to be lawyer, artist, historian, teacher, writer, and good for even some one who has never tried calligraphy or writing you will open up a whole new world to anyone who has not tried it.Sunday, November 2, 2014
Sakura 38176 10-Piece Gelly Roll Assorted Colors Blister Card Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $14.90
Sale Price: $7.99
Today's Bonus: 46% Off

All of the Gelly Roll pens I have purchase are great quality! You can go to the Sakura web-site as the opacity and papers they work well with are different for the different types of gelly roll pens, souffle, moonlight, stardust, metallic,ect...If you are a scrapbooker the souffle and glaze pens have some texture when dry and do well on acrylic.
These work! All the lighter colors show up brilliantly on black paper and a couple of the darker colors show up less on black paper, which is to be expected. I have not tried them in UV light yet but with the great way they show up in regular light, I'm not concerned about how well they work in UV light. You can produce some really nice art with these on black paper.
Almost perfect, with only the occasional flow problem, but better than any I have found. Others that may not like these probably don't have experience with other pens and don't know that this really is as good as it gets with gel pens for use on black paper. Highly recommended!
Here's how: (1) Heat some water to simmer in a large diameter frying pan (fill about 1/4 the pan). (2) Place your dry pens in a cake pan, and float the cake pan in the simmering water. (3) If you have one, put a lid over the frying pan. No lid? Not a problem. (4) Let pens warm up for around 10-15 minutes, then take them out of the frying pan. (5) Choose a pen to experiment and make some scribble circles on paper. You should be rewarded with a flow of pastel ink! That's it. Good luck to you.

Gelly Roll makes the best milky gel pens. The pen is air tight and keeps the ink fluid so the ink rolls off of the ball with no false starts.Best Deals for Sakura 38176 10-Piece Gelly Roll Assorted Colors Blister Card
Consider my rating 4 1/2 stars. I have been trying to find multicolor gel pens for use on black paper for some time now. In my experience with others, the flow was very inconsistent and the color was more like a watercolor or virtually did not show up at all. Occasionally I would get some where some of the colors showed up but others would not.These work!

Honest reviews on Sakura 38176 10-Piece Gelly Roll Assorted Colors Blister Card
I am a commercial artist who uses pastel gel pens a lot. This product, Sakura 38176 10-piece Gelly Roll Assorted Colors, is a popular example. The downside of pastel gel pens is that they quit working after a rather short period of time. Well, I am excited to report that here is an answer to this problem!Here's how: (1) Heat some water to simmer in a large diameter frying pan (fill about 1/4 the pan). (2) Place your dry pens in a cake pan, and float the cake pan in the simmering water. (3) If you have one, put a lid over the frying pan. No lid? Not a problem.

I LOVE Sakura's gelly pens. I've been using them since the 'fad' of dark paper got started. By the way, where did all that dark paper go? I wish I'd bought up all the black notebook paper I could get my hands on! Ahem, back to the subject. These Moonlight gelly pens by Sakura are very freeflowing, have a medium point, and as advertised on the package 'act like paint pens on most surfaces'. Five of the ten colors are 'regular' pens, with intense, vivid ink in different shades including a wonderful blue and a teal green that's very hard to find. The other five colors are what I'd call 'neon' but they aren't described that way. The package lists these five colors as 'glow under black light'. I haven't got access to blacklight type lights, so I can't comment on how the pens perform when exposed to it. However, these 'neon' shades are just as vivid and intense as the others, and offer a nice, lighter color contrast to the first five pens. I have used these to detail some celtic-type designs on the title page of a book I own, and have used them in various coloring-type books, as well as writing with them. Unless you are scrapbooking, it would be a waste to just write with this set of pens. They work so wonderfully as 'paint pens' I'm saving them for exactly that. The flow is excellent, easy control, quick drying (don't smudge for at least 30 seconds to be safe-when all 'wet' looking areas are gone, the ink is dry, waterproof, etc.) The ink in these pens creates a slightly 'raised' feel (very subtle, though) when the ink is dry-on paper. I haven't tried them on other surfaces, though several are listed on the package as suggestions. I have a feeling I'll be ordering these again in the near future. I love the metallic, sparkle and other effects. I'm on the lookout for some 'swirl' type 'milky' gel pens (as hard to find as black paper!), but these moonlight pens are an excellent addition to my pen collection! I've ordered from this seller several times in the last 2 years and have been impressed with the professionalism, speed of delivery, quality of product and packaging every time! Go ahead and try these pens, you won't be disappointed.Thursday, October 30, 2014

Reviews of Lifestyle Crafts Lifestyle Crafts A2 Courtyard Embossing Folder Set
I may be doing something wrong. I've been using embossing folders for quite some time but not this brand w/my Big Shot. The roses came out beautifully but when I tried using the bricks (on 2 different papers) it caused the paper to peel apart (front to back?). At first I thought it was just pushing harder on one area, like the mold was uneven, but then I realized it was more than one "brick". Do to health issues, I have not contacted the seller to check into the problem nor have I wasted more than 2 types of paper on it. I felt that a 4 star rating was reasonable because I don't believe it should be doing it at all, even without any inquiries about it.The brick pattern looks great as a background behind floral elements. The floral folder looks great on its own with just a sentiment to make a great card!

Cheap Hero Arts Ink and Stamp Set, Fairy Princess
If you need to decorate birthday cards or invitations, this is a great set especially if "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" figures into your life. It's not MLP but as of right now, MLP does not have a rubber stamp set out. There is a set from the 1980s if you can find it and you find the price reasonable.
But since I didn't find the price reasonable, I used these stamps. The kids loved them. They are Hero Arts stamps, which means the stamps are well produced. And really, the kids loving these stamps is the most important quality to me.
_enjoy_I am using these princess-themed stamps on the escort/placecards for my wedding reception. The theme is cinderella, so they just fit-especially the castles, the wand, the shoe and crown. We needed something to designate each person's food choice. I thought it would be a cute way to do it.

This is the 13th Bucilla kit that I have done and marks the beginning of the 3rd generation of recipients. My mother started making them for her grandchildren's first Christmas and delegated me to carry on the tradition with the arrival of our first grandchild! "Gifts from Santa" is for the daughter of our first grandson and our first great-grandchild.
I think this was the most difficult one..the printing on the foundation piece was difficult to see. I agree with other reviewers that the felt, especially the white, was of uneven quality. I was missing one color of sequins and beads, but this was corrected within a very few days of notifying Amazon. This was the first time I have ever found a shortage. One item I have found very useful is the little weekly pill holders (available at the pharmacy) for separating sequins and seed beads. This is not a project that can be completed in a few days but it is well worth the effort.
I love the Bucilla Santas and will not use any other. The instructions are clear and pieces are well marked-except the dark ink on blue! The stocking turned out well in spite of the above problems and I am pleased with it. I'm sure there will be more!

Don't get me wrong it looks very cute but it takes forever to do. I mean hours upon hours. Directions are not the best either I find myself having to look at the Colorado picture a lot after seeing what piece goes next. Also do not lose the skinny needle otherwise you will have a hard time finding a replacement that will fit through the beads. You will also need to get some other fabric to sew to each side of the stocking otherwise it is very flimsy and you will be able to see all the thread on the inside.
