A few weeks back, I was asked to try out and review the Santa Fe Art Supply Artist Brush Set. The set come with 15 brushes that are professional long-handled artist paintbrushes and are 12 inches in length. They use synthetic hair and do not streak when you paint. Santa Fe Art Supply backs them with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and Lifetime Replacement Warranty. I haven’t done actual painting in a long time, but I do lots of craft projects and paint highly detailed figurines & tree ornaments for Christmas when I have the time. These are easily the best brushes I have ever had. I tested them out with some of my daughter’s watercolors and was very impressed. None of the hair came out and they cleaned up very well. The paint goes down evenly, allowing me to paint lines with ease. The case turns into a pop-up stand, making it very easy to take the brushes in & out as needed. There was also a bonus smaller brush included as well. It’s the perfect size for small detail ...

Proiduct Review – Kelly Kits
A week ago, I received at Kelly Kit in the mail. Kelly Kits are a box that comes once a month with various art tools for your child to make something. Each month follows a different theme & they have a contest for the best creation. You can make a one time purchase, or buy a monthly subscription.I was excited about getting the Kelly Kits since my daughter loves arts and crafts. I was sent an email at the first of the month letting me know that it was shipped and that this month’s theme was ‘collage’. I was expecting a good-sized box with stuff in it after reading both the description on the website and what I was sent for the promo post that I did earlier last month. I was also told that I would receive the box no later than the second week of the month. I didn’t get the kit until the 22nd, and it wasn’t at all what I expected. The kit ended up being a ‘sculpture’ kit. It had a small bag of clay powder to mix up, a small page of instructions & a fold out ...
Product Review – Tombow Craft Glue
A week ago, I was sent some Tombow craft glue. Tombow craft glue is an all-purpose adhesive tape that can be used for a variety of projects. It’s excellent for scrapbooking, paper crafts and more. The glue comes in a small tape dispenser that easily fits in the palm of your hand. When you’re ready to use it, you flip down the lid/flap on the end of the dispenser. Then you firmly press down and move it in the direction/area you want the tape to be. You need to make sure that you are using it on a flat surface and that you’re applying even pressure. If you let up on it at all, the tape won’t transfer down and you will get gaps. It’s pretty similar to White-Out tape or pens. The tape holds up pretty well. The adhesive is strong, but you can still pull something up if you need to reposition it. I was also to peel and re-stick folded paper multiple times. If you needed to leave a note on your door that you would be able to pull back off later, this would be perfect. I intend to ...

Product Review — ArtisticLetters
I recently got to try out a letter pack from ArtisticLetters. ArtisticLetters was created by Jodi Gerber, who created the letters by taking photos of objects in nature that resembled the letters of the alphabet. The letters can be used for a number of projects, including decorations, cards, and scrap booking. For my project, I decided to make a door sign for Hannah's room. I bought a wood plaque at WalMart for 94¢ and painted it a light blue color. I then went through the collection of letters to pick out which ones I wanted to use. I also picked out a picture of a heart, which can also be used as an 'o', as well. I then placed them in a blank word document and arranged them how I wanted. It took me a few tries to get the size right and I adjusted the contrast a little. Once they were ready, I printed them out. Next, I cut out the letters and heart, and arranged them on the plaque. Then I used a glue stick to fix them in place. It was faster to make the ...
