Wild With a Glue Gun: Getting Together With Crafty Friends

Rating:
Summary: Get wild. Get motivated!
Review: If glueing, stamping, soldering, pasting, arranging, writing, trimming, sewing, spraying, painting, coloring, mixing, molding, bending, twisting, curling, looping, crimping and kneading weird stuff are the only things that heal your spirt and make you feel alive - you have to check this book out!
The whole concept is about forming/joining a local craft group to inspire eachother. It's written so friendly, you'll feel like going to the authors front door and offering them a bowl of homemade Ambrosia Salad and then asking if you can join THEIR craft group. It features info on all kinds of crafts groups across the globe and offers guidelines for setting up your own crafty clique. But the best part is the totally funky and tripped out projects. My favorite is the Chocolate Box Valentine. It's a dimensional collage inside a heart-shaped candy box. I was more than honored to have been mentioned in this book, right along side glorious glue gun goddess Meg Reardon from the legendary NotMartha.com site. There's also info on the crafty & clever chicas as Crafty Gal, Another Girl At Play, Get Crafty and mucho, mucho mas....Great job Christine and Kitty - and muchas gracias!!

Summary: Great Fun
Review: Wild with a Glue Gun has been on the top of my Amazon Recommendations List for quite awhile now. After finally reading the book description, I had to have it! A friend and I have been wanting to get together a stitch and bitch type of group with our other friends, co-workers and such and this great book proved to be the kick in the pants we needed to get it together. Initially, we started to meet twice a month, but everyone was having so much fun crafting together and talking that we've upped our sessions to once a week. We revolve around to each others houses so that no one feels they are hosting too much and it's been working great. Crafting time spent with friends really is quality time.

Thank you Kitty Harmon and Christine Stickler for such fantastic ideas on getting us all together!
