Wooden Bingo Numbers are Back, Baby!

Just to let all of you know, I am very excited since I use these all the time. They were very hard to find. They are vintage bingo numbers that you can drill through to use as charm pieces. They are back at skybluepink.com and they are on sale! Yes! No, I don't get anything. Just thought I would pass it on. While you are there, you might want to sign-up for their email newsletter. She sends out a fun one every Sunday with great deals.

Here is the link to the bingo numbers: http://www.skybluepink.com/products5.html#gamepacks

One other thing, I love these little glass vials and bottles, I use these in my assemblages. I have been using them lately in my latest creations that I will be unveiling very soon. They are actually drying now as I speak. Will post to blog in next day or so.

Mixed Media Art Friends

skybluepink.com sale for pendant swap

Just wanted pendant swap artists and jewelry fans in general to know that skybluepink.com is having a sale in honor of the Mixed Media Art Friends Yahoo Group pendant swap (I'm hostessing) and Cloth Paper Scissors Pendant Swap. Grab these great deals while you can. I shop here all the time. I buy from here just like you do. I just try to get you a great deal in the process because I want to make the swap as much fun as possible. I don't get a thing for doing this from skybluepink.com. 8-D

Here are some other things I like from their website while you are there looking:

2" canvas: http://www.skybluepink.com/alterables.html
If you don't have Dick Blick near you.

Scroll down a bit and they have board books (called Possibilities Board Books) that are blank and ready to be altered. That saves you a lot of time and effort sanding down board books if you are really into ABs. I am going to get a couple and see how they compare to regular board books. My kids are past the age where they read board books (my sources have dried up).

Teeny tiny buttons: http://www.skybluepink.com/beads.html

Scroll down a bit further and on the beads page and you will come to my favorite Chunky Ball Chain Bracelets. I so love these! I wear those all the time. You can cut the excess length with a pair of cutting pliers. You can't beat the price.

Whew! I am going shopping now before all of you take the stock and I am left with nada.

Possible Luminarte substitute for Twinkling H2Os

I use the stuff all the time. I am so sad that they are going out of business. There were posts going all around certain Yahoo groups yesterday about a possible substitute for them: Niji pearescent watercolor palettes. They are from Yasutomo. I have not tried them out yet. I have them on order right now. I will report back once I have tried them. They are very reasonably priced.

Anyway, the reason I am blogging is because I have found them and they are ON SALE right now! I have to tell you the story before I get ready for school. I was ordering stuff for the Quilt Festival yesterday from skybluepink. I needed to get the teeny buttons, a house book, and some other stuff from them. I was surfing their site to make sure I didn't need anything else. I figured that I might as well pay the mailing costs once. Well, I came across these watercolor paints. Talk about serendipity, luck, or whatever they would call it. I emailed her and told her all about what was happening in the Yahoo groups. She emailed me back and told me that she would put them on sale on my page. BTW, she still has charms on sale in honor of my charm swap (sorry, closed) and the Cloth, Paper, Scissors Magazine charm swap on that page still going on!

You have to know that I don't get anything for this at all. I don't get anything free nor do I get any discounts. I pay for everything just like everyone else. This is just a sale that is a great deal for everyone. I have been buying from skybluepink for years. I started buying from her when I first started doing art when I was stamping and doing domino art in a heavy way. Tim Holtz links to skybluepink on his website. Just thought I would throw that in. Haven't had my coffee yet. Need to go and get ready for school now. Have to do my spelling bee this morning. Will need to get the extra-large cup.

If you order the watercolors, come back and tell me how you like them. I will post once I get them and try them out. Later days!

skybluepink.com is having a Bind-it-all Sale!

http://skybluepink.com/zutter.html Just passing along the information. I buy stuff from there just like anyone else. I thought this sale might help out people in the skinny book swap, people who create their own journals, and people who are in fat/skinny book swaps - that don't have a binding system yet.
