I have found some great resources to share, as well as projects to infuse us with creative ideas.

100% Pure All-Natural Beeswax 

( my new discovery )

I have a new interest in using beeswax as a component in collaging and I found this fantastic product. Sheet wax is commonly used to decorate candles, but since it adheres to almost any surface, it can easily be used in a variety of craft projects. In addition to collage, it can be used to decorate tins, bottles, etc.
Cool stuff and completely eco-friendly!

A Customer Review ... " I love this wax as much as my kids. Smells wonderful. So soft and wonderful to work with, just with the warmth of your hands. Then hardens when you're done. Will last forever, so I think it's well worth the price. More lovely than any clay or play dough."

Creating Unique Projects With Vintage Ephemera 

This book has a lot of positive reviews, here is an example - "Usually I buy these types of books and page through them - loving the pictures, but never thinking it is something I could actually do. With this book I immediately went and purchased some materials and sat down and tried some of the simpler ideas. I love how the author took the time to make clear step-by-step instructions and included a LOT of pictures for the steps. There are projects that are very simple (magnets) to things much more complicated. I think there's something for everyone."
