Lettering
I’ve always struggled with lettering (not to mention spelling). So I’ve added some words to my badge practice.
Laminator
So, when working on badges, The Artist needs to laminate things. So we ordered a Purple Cows Hot and Cold Laminator (available at amazon ). It is a cute little thing which does not look businesslike in the least. Overall, I am impressed. The warm up light cuts off a little soon (letting it go a few additional minutes seems to give better results), but otherwise it has seemed rock solid. I managed to get it on sale for about $20, but compared to other laminators with reasonable reviews, it is still a bargain at full price. We will see how long it lasts, but for the occasional stuff we are doing it should be great.
Sorry for the slow posts
Sorry for missing a few updates everyone! Apparently the wordpress iOS app managed to break itself over the weekend. Sorting out that the problem is not on our end took a bit of time. Now I need to retrain The Artist so she can post through the webpages instead (at least as long as the app is broken). I will try to post more real content later on tonight.
Pencil case
Since it is a FAQ recently, I figured I would post this.
The Artist loves to have things organized. I love it when she keeps her supplies smaller than suitcase. So we settled on
This Pencil Case to hold her colored pencils. Here it is in action:
It holds every colored pencil, pen, and paint marker she uses with space for all the little erasers and stuff shoved in there. The price seems high, but there was nothing else on the market that seemed to make it work.
Just as a warning, it is bigger than it seems. It is about the size of a 1000 page hardcover books, which makes it portable, but this is not going to fit in a pocket, or even many purses. She has a purse that fits it, but it is a close thing (and contributes to the 10lbs that purse weighs).
