Cheap Magnetic Poetry Make Your Own Pet Stones Kit
Love being able to personalize stones. Like the smaller pieces you can add to a larger stone. Would have been nice to accelerate in paw prints. I think that would have been a nice touch

Fiskars 12-24707097 Pop-up Punch, Star Review
I would have given this five stars, but it was smaller than I expected (makes a very small star-only about a centimeter in diameter). Otherwise, it's a very nice product. It's very easy to usejust hold in the palm of your hand and depress with your thumb). The enclosure on its "tummy" holds the stars until you want them... no shooting all over the place as you punch.

I have at least 50 Nestabilities which I love use almost daily but this time I received lemon! There was a section of the die that would not cut cleanly. I used more than a dozen sheets of paper with various weights ranging from 24 lb copy paper to 110 lb Cover stock and ran it though both my old Big Kick and new Big Shot, both with new cutting pads. I tried turning the die in different directions on the cutting platform and running it back and forth several times. I also used wax paper between the die and paper hoping it would help. One section of the die simply would not cut through the paper, the design would tear each time I tried to remove it from the die. After spending the entire day trying to make it work I returned it.
I have seen this die used and it is beautiful but mine was defective. If you order one, and it does not cut properly...don't waste your time, return it!

These things are ultra-cheaply made, all plastic, and the "nail" breaks off very easily rendering it totally useless for making morning glories because you can't twist it while you're piping the icing into the bowl of it. The two-piece aspect is a joke too. The pieces don't fit tightly enough to be of any benefit when you're lining it with aluminum foil. Don't waste your money. Try to find a metal version of it if you can.Best Deals for Wilton Lily Nail Set

Best Tombow Dual Brush Pen Desk Stand, Holds 96 Dual Brush Pens (56148) Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $14.50
Sale Price: $14.00
Today's Bonus: 3% Off

I was surprised at how good this little stand is. The plastic construction is quite solid and it holds almost 100 pens/pencils/whatever. Also, unlike similar pencil stands the top level is *low* so it will hold short pens and pencils very well too.
I bought a second to organize small tools like screwdrivers and scissors on my work bench.
Cons: Minor complaints.
The holes are all uniform and just about the right size for a regular pen or pencil. They will hold a full sized Sharpie but the fat markers and pens with a fat rubber grip ( popular these days ) don't work.
I use pencils a lot for drawing etc and once they get shortened down to 3" this stand won't hold them.
The frame snaps together and if you were to lift a fully loaded stand by the top grid, it *might* pop off.
The only reason i took a star off is because i would have preferred it to be a tad bit taller and had a few variations on the hole sizes for better support on thinner brushes.
The plastic is very nice and thick so it will definitely last a while and i don't have to worry about the middle squares ever breaking; it was very easy and fast to assemble.
I would definitely recommend and buy again!

It is really hard to find a colored pencil/gel pen/ etc. stand that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! This snaps together nicely. It's still a piece of plastic, and how much does plastic cost anyway?

Buy Strathmore Kids Drawing Paper Pads paper pad
It's drawing paper, what more can I say? My son is a budding artist and he goes through drawing paper like crazy so I wanted something econonmical yet sturdy. This was fine for the job.
I give them paper, crayons, pencils and receive drawings for my fridge, help them make cards for Mom and Dad or just draw for the fun of it. I watch the small kids learn to write and control themselves with color crayons and finally "draw".
A much better investment than a TV, movies and a lot more fun!
Of course, one word of caution, get a tablet for each kid...it's just easier and a lot less hassles. And besides, the price is right!

I do a lot of jewelry that requires a lot of tricky bending. The grip on this is not only perfect for what I need, its the only kind of shape that can do some of the more critical bends I need. I just have one major problem... the metal on this isn't nearly strong enough. I've owned three of these in the past two months, and not because I love it so much, because it breaks so damn easy. It's the perfect design for making difficult bends, but the materials are just not strong enough.Sunday, October 26, 2014
Discount Midwest Products 3019 Railroad Cork N Cork Roadbed
I am a first-time user of this product (and I'm essentially a newbie at N scale model railroading...). And it *is* incredibly easy to use. The 36" lengths are ideal for my layout and cutting pieces for turns and such was a no-sweat operation. For a while I ran half my layout using this product and the other half without to see if I noticed a significant noise reduction...and I'm happy to say I certainly did. But there was still enough click-a-dee-clack to satisfy my 'realism' needs...lol. And, yes, this stuff certainly adds a cool ballast look to the surrounding layout material.
The cork material is firm and not crumbly at all. The bevel on the edges is nicely done...again, looks pretty 'real'. The thickness and width is *very* consistent along each 36" piece. Easy to cut and manipulate. Highly recommended.

I absolutely love these Prism color markers! I'm in Architecture school and I was hit with the challenge of using one media type "marker" for the entire semester in my presentations. So I purchased a set and thanks to these markers this was a condition i never regretted. They add so much punch to my presentations and I get really good feed back when critiques come around. What I really love about them is the kind of clean water color effect they have and the control you get when rendering, because these markers are doubt tip at both ends they present you with more flexibility and I like the fact that unlike other media types with these you can get a lot of color down quickly which means you save time rendering. Although I must point out that they demand confidence when in use, once you are sure of every stroke you land on paper they will work wonders for you and I find the monochromatic sets of 12 work really well because you get more control over tonality and your color scheme is more cohesive and the more layers you put down the better your work looks. Unfortunately these are quite expensive for art markers I think but still you will be glad you made your order! In conclusion, a good buy.Best Deals for Primsacolor Premier Double Ended Chisel Tip and Fine Tip Art
These markers are a great price, along with the other Prismacolor items found on Amazon. I live in Canada, and these markers were shipped to me much faster than i had thought. The quality of the markers are exactly as i had hoped: the different shades of grey and the different sizes of ends are awesome, easy and fun to use. I work with many different mediums in art, and i'm glad that there are 3 black markers in the box because i use them for many other art projects. Also, soon after i got this, i went to a Michaels arts and crafts store and saw the exact same markers on a shelf, there was one box left for over 80 dollars...So yeah these markers are pretty sweet.Honest reviews on Primsacolor Premier Double Ended Chisel Tip and Fine Tip Art
Excellent for concept art and well worth the price. Three of the twelve markers in this set are black which I find somewhat disappointing yet tolerable due to the quality of the remaining nine cool greys and due to the fact that I neglected to properly read the description.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Primsacolor Premier Double Ended Chisel Tip and Fine Tip Art
Bought this set because my previous set of 24 markers was completely lacking in the shading department. These hold up to the quality I expect from prismacolor and blend fantastically well with other prismacolor markers. I love that these are double ended, with two different sized tips per marker. Though the blunt end was a bit large for my application, I can see where it would be useful. Definitely worth the amount I paid.Saturday, September 27, 2014

Rubber Stampede Rubber Stamp Kit - Upper Case Alphabet Reviews
I love to stamp. I was a little surprised (and my only complaint)when I received my stamps was the wooden stamp was separate from the rubber letter. You had to break apart the letters, peel off the backing and try to center and evenly stick it to the wooden part. I thought it would come all together. But putting that aside, I love the stamp. It's a cute design, stamps well, and cleans well. I would recommend it. A bonus is it comes with a black ink pad, the size fits the size of the stamp.
My students still like to use them during their Word Work time.

I really like the size of these stamps--perfect for cardmaking, gifts, and just general stamp usage. The rubber isn't connected to the wooden blocks, so you need to assemble them yourself, but that wasn't a problem for me. I will definitely be using these stamps a lot in the future! The only complaint I have, and the reason I gave this product 4 stars, is that the ink pad is a little dry. I would recommend buying a separate ink pad for more efficient stamping!Honest reviews on Rubber Stampede Rubber Stamp Kit - Upper Case Alphabet

The rhinestone ribbon was exactly what I needed for my niece's graduation cake to give the essence of bling.

The price was great compared to that of similar products sold at my local chain craft store.
