lookout! she's got a gun!

a glue gun, that is.

a crafty girl NEEDS one, you know,

because even in this age of high-tech space-age adhesives,

if you want to permanently adhere some pink maribou trim to a pink paper giftbag

(& who amongst us DOESN'T want to do that from time to time, eh??!)

you're gonna need hot glue.

and as long as you're about it, you'll probably need some pink flowers, some fancy spot-laminated paper, some rhinestones, some bobbley trim, and some glitter letters, too. because in the exciting fast-paced world of fancifying giftbags it's either

GO BIG

or

STAY HOME!

(giftbag & specialty trims: michaels; patterned paper: basic grey, sandylion; chip letters: making memories; flowers: prima; gems: mambi; other: hot glue, foam tape, colorbox inks, marvy circle punch)
