Glue Caddies from Santa!

Orders are coming in the Glue Caddy  and I am so excited that people are ordering them as Christmas presents.  What a great idea! 

Connie Mercer who is a Helmar Design Team Member Extraordinaire shared her altered caddy with me and as always I am blown away at those functional pieces of art that are not adorning your art studios!:

Several of you have emailed me to say that they work great for other bottles such as Glossy Accents, Paints and more!  How cool is that?

"Enjoy life. Show down. Laugh" ~Rita Wilson

Chase those Dreams!

A crazy idea becomes something real.  Awhile back I described to my dad this idea to my dad this idea I had to hold all my glue and keep them upside down so they are ready to use.  As always, my dad never shirks off my crazy ideas (trust me there have been quite a few) and we started to really get into it.  Soon there were plans drawn, prototypes being made and the Glue Caddy was born!  I showed mind off and little did I know that so many would want to actually order this contraption! 

So off into the workshop Ghephetto went and we shipped out the first lot of Caddies.......then the second and now we just got the third lot IN!  (poor guy is like my own private sweat shop worker!).  That is what he gets for having a Daddy's Girl!

And what is even more amazing is what you guys are doing with them.  They are literally works of art on your desk!  It is humbling for my dad and I.  We just never thought.  I joked with my dad that if we sold one how cool would that be! 

So yet another artist shared her Altered Caddy with us...........Jackie Struss:

Several of you have emailed me to say that they work great for other bottles such as Glossy Accents, Paints and more!  How cool is that?

It just feels like some little crazy idea is something and you guys are making it something so much bigger.  I feel very lucky!  The third shipment is in and shipping!  So if you want to order one now is the time.  I hear that Ghepetto is back in the workshop making furniture for Glue Mom and is taking a break so if you wish to place an order stop by my Etsy Shop:

Found my Creative Mojo!

Since returning from vacation (which I will post pictures from once I find the time to unload the camera) I have seemed to misplace my creative mojo but I am happy to report it is back!  With the release of the Glue Caddies from Glue Daddy (my Daddy!) I had a couple of requests to decorate a couple of caddies and I am happy to oblige and find my creative mojo again!

So we will start back posting by sharing the latest caddy I decorated........

 
All this took was one sheet of 12 X 12 patterned paper.  This is the new Out of Print by BasicGrey......thank you to BasicGrey for all the new lines adorning my floor right now.  I am busy designing all my new classes using their beautiful papers!

 
and a few flowers, buttons, some ribbon and of course HELMAR Glue.  Here is the list of supplies:

  
MATERIALS LIST:

• Helmar Adhesives: Helmar Acid Free Glue & 450 Quick Dry
• Patterned Paper: BasicGrey (Out of Print)
• Buttons
• Flowers:  Tinted with Tattered Angles Glimmer Glam
• Ribbon - Maya Road
• Ink - Marvy Heritage (Pond Green)

For those who have purchased your caddies you MUST share with us.  We are dying to see how you alter them! You can email at [email protected].

And we have Glue Dad (ana Gephetoo) back in his workshop handcrafting more!  We added more to the Etsy shop. Here are the links to order your own........

It has been a fun summer and not looking forward to it coming to an end.  Hope yours has been great too!
