[Rovig, Lorraine]

Just a thought--Christmas is coming with a need to make gifts and cards
to send.  Make a stencil by cutting out a hollow snowman shape, or
Christmas tree and stars, or a teddy bear, and so on. Glue small objects
to the snowman or tree and cover with glitter. Find or buy cheap baskets
or cheap candle holders (Goodwill stores or Dollar Stores?)and make them
look new, full of shiny interesting (fake jewels and glitter) "bling"
for the holidays.  Use the glue gun to glue fabric to the inside of the
basket and "hem" the fabric. Make a tree skirt or a one-use Christmas
party skirt.

Well, the glue gun is a useful item to keep around.  You can make small 
repairs or do all sorts of projects with them.  As far as the glitter, I

might use it to decorate a gift basket for someone special.  Maybe you
could 
make a bath or relaxation basket for a friend and sprinkle a little of
that 
glitter around.  I think it would be neat in a basket of bath goodies.
