Cricut Design Software update and font update available
I saw it on My Pink Stamper. Robyn gave the link and you can follow it from here. I installed it last night along with the font update. New Cricut cartridges are coming out! I really like them but I cannot afford to buy them all. I keep entering MPS give-a-ways. I hope to win one someday.

Lang 2010 Calendars are 75% off for online orders
I really love Lang calendars. I just cannot pay $16 for one without feeling guilty. We get 1 or 2 free calendars from an insurance organization and a charitable organization. They are okay but I usually give them to our church camp to use in the cabins. I really love Lang calendars because they are like having a piece of art on the wall. I have one in the kitchen, one near the writing desk, and one in my home office. Three calendars at $16 each makes for a whopping $48 plus shipping. I have found that if I wait until mid February to buy them they go on sale. Now is the time! 75% off at http://www.lang.com/ and should you spend over $40, you can get free shipping. I did not qualify for free shipping because I bought three calendars at $4 each plus three pretty planners for $1.75 each. I am going to give the planners away as gifts.

Don't let your glue bottle falling over frustrate you!
I have a cool idea to cut down on the frustration of using liquid glue. For piecing paper I sometimes use Zig TwoWay glue or I may choose to use Scotch adhesive. The Scotch glue is strong stuff and dries quickly. It doesn't clog so I don't have a problem using it until the bottle gets low on glue. Then I don't like to tip the bottle and wait for gravity to bring the glue down so I can use it. The bottle will stand on its own upside down but it tends to fall over if it get bumped.
I was blog hopping this weekend and I saw a video on turning strips of scrap material into a flower. I cannot remember the blog...I really hate it when things fall out of my head! She used a different brand of glue, similar but different. Her glue did not fall over and I was fascinated on why. She did not mention it because she was giving a tuturial on gluing a flower together. The video was good and the flower turned out very cute.
Finally the light was just right in the video and I could see that she had glued a piece of clear flat plastic to the lid of the glue bottle. Maybe it was a scrap of acetate but I don't think so. Acetate would bend easily. It was clear so it was really hard to catch. How clever! I did a similar thing but I used the same Scotch glue to adhere the lid of my Scotch glue to a round piece of chipboard that I had on hand. It works like a charm. The glue is always ready to go and it doesn't fall over easily. When the bottle is empty, I will throw it away and keep the lid attached to the cardboard to put on a new bottle of Scotch glue. I cannot take credit for this idea but I can certainly pass it on to you. If I remember where I saw that video, I will post it.
