I am Getting Old… I need BIFOCALS!

October 27, 2008 by Administrator Leave a Comment

Yikes. I am officially old. I have to wear bi-focals. I just about fainted when I went to Costco and got my prescription filed and i was quoted almost 600.– to get progressive lens eyeglasses. I buy my glasses at Costco because about 2 years ago I read in Consumer Reports that the Costco had excellent glasses and was a Bestbuy. That was when i was paying two hundred plus dollars. I needed to shop around.

I belong to an online deal forum and they constantly have threads for cheap contact lenses and glasses, The mention Zenni’s in the States as a good cheap place to buy glasses. Anti Glare/anti-scratch coating progressive lenses in a titanium frame cam to just over 80.00 with shipping. I got the glasses in a nice case and cleaning cloth. I took then to my eye doctor and he pronounce them “pretty good” The thing you need to have before you order is your PD or pupillary distance. This never changes0 it is the distance between your two pupils.

After receiving he bifocals I ordered some plain reading glasses and a “back-up” pair of long distance glasses. The total for two pair of glasses came to 40.00.
I have the type of face that can wear almost any shape and they have pretty generic styles- i wouldn’t try anything to new or different, I basically got a pair that looked most like the glasses I have now.
I would absolutely recommend . If you are nervous try a pair of reading glasses fist. The Pd on reading glasses make huge difference compared to buying from drugstore.

October 27, 2008 by Administrator Leave a Comment


Not only is the ATG gun HUGELY popular ( and huge) to use as an adhesive in scrapbooking and card making- crafters have gone nuts decorating them! I wrote a post about the popularity of ATG

3M Scotch 714 1/4\

guns a while ago and mentioned people liked to decorate them. I went through some blogs and found ATG guns that REALLY stand out. This scrapbook tool has become so poplar because, well it is a tool, and they are comfortable despite their size and cheap to refill. The size to get if you are Scrapbooling or cardmaking is the ATG 714 size/a>

The ATG Gun- Adhesive Glue Gun for Cards and Scrapbooks

October 15, 2008 by Administrator Leave a Comment

3M Scotch 714 1/4\

Without question one of the HOTTEST tools on the scrapbook market is the Scotch ATG gunScotch ATG gun
The most popular size is the 714 model. This is 1/4 inch ( compare to Tombo Mono). The cost is about 60.00 and refills are about 3.00 for 36 yards. The refill most people buy is the 1/4 inch Gold tape because it is acid free and lignin free.
The ATG gun is ENORMOUS! I am not joking- you will be shocked. You sure will never lose it 🙂
It is normally used for picture framing. You can always pop by a framing shop and ask to see theirs.
Anyone I know that has one SWEARS by it and puts in o their must have list. I must admit I have been on a quest for the perfect adhesive for a long, long time and I am sorely tempted. I put my tape runner way at the top in terms of importance.
This is on my Christmas list.

Famous Quickutz Matching Font List- Digital Equivalent of Quickutz Die Cut Fonts

October 12, 2008 by Administrator Leave a Comment


I set out a while ago to make up a list of free fonts to download for my Silhouette that matched the ones they offered for sale – the metal die cut ones that you can but and use QK Revolution or Cuttlebug, etc. The cost is cray- here in Canada at times they are over 100.00.
When I started out it was an overwhelming task- I also discovered some one else had done it! Superpezgirl not only had done it but done it MUCH better than I ever could.
She has created a fantastic table list all the available Quickutz fonts and then an matching font to download onto your computer and cut on your digital cutter- like Quickutz Silhouette, KNK , Craft Robo, Pazzles, Wishblade, etc.
This is a a terrific resource and kudos to Superpezgirl !

October 11, 2008 by Administrator Leave a Comment


I first heard about this one of my craft forums a year ago and now they are HUGE. Scrapbookers were talking about how they decorated their 3M ATG-752 Adhesive Transfer Gun and at first I was APPALLED!
Crazy Americans are now decorating their guns with sequins. DOH! An ATG gun is a suped up tape runner on steroids. The tape guns are used for framing and caught on like wild fire in scrapbook community about a year and half ago. The biggest advantage is comfort and cost of refills.
