Guess who's a finalist?

Howdy!

Sorry I haven't been able to craft and blog for a while.

Life is crazy around here. I got some new Church callings. Then school started back up. Then my little brother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Leukemia and throat cancer.

I promise when I get a chance to share some more of my personal crafty goodness/inspiration.

But, on the bright side. I am a finalist number 5 in Sizzix's Who Are You? Contest.

I would sure appreciate y'all's help in voting. And if I win, I promise to share a video of what comes in the package, my trip to the Sizzix studio, if I can, the tour of the Sizzix studio, and if I'm allowed a little of the training I get if I win the Grand Prize.

So big things could be coming to the blog if I win. Please visit http://www.sizzix.com/images/static/wayvote/way_vote.html to vote for number 5.

Happy Crafting,

The best craft scissors

Hi!

Don't you just hate when your scissors get all gummed up?

One of my favorite things about crafting with friends is learning about what tools work best for them. Since y'all are my online friends I will try to share once a week what my favorite tools are.

Today I will share what my favorite everyday craft scissors are.

Recently I picked up the Fiskars Non-stick scissors.

Pros of these scissors
They have a non-stick coating. They are great for everyday use when making cards, scrapbooks, and cutting ribbons. I've also used these with things run through my Xyron, foam dimensionals, and glue dots and they come out cleanly.

Cons of these scissors
They are camo colored. Really that's the only con I could come up with.

The price for these was around $5, which in my opinion is a great bargain. Plus for every purchase a donation is made to the Boys and Girls Club of America.

Happy crafting,
M.E.
