The right tool...for the right job.

Sometimes you just need the right tool for the right job.  When I look around at creations I have powered out over the years I can't help but be a little baffled at the tools (or lack of) that I have used to get the job done.

For example...take a look at this sad little guy....

Can you believe this is the only glue gun I have ever owned? Sadness. This is a fine tool for gluing on some small lettering. Maybe adhering some ribbon to a bobby pin...or helping your friend glue a barbie head back on...but not for something like this:

For the love of toothpicks don't you ever use a glue gun this size with little glue sticks the size of swizzle sticks to do something of this nature. Not only did I have hand seizures...I had blisters on my thumb and pointer finger and I even made up a new cuss word from burning myself several times because I had to work so fast to compensate for the tiny beads of swizzle glue that came out of my infant sized gun. "B face" was the new cuss word in case you were curious....you have my permission to use it, but just don't use it in front of your kids. Mmmmmk?

So I got a little money for Christmas and I decided to buy something that was actually for myself...low and behold my dears...a human size glue gunner! yes Ma'am I did it. And I can't stop dreaming of all the things I can hot glue now that I won't be crippled with glue gunner's arthritis.

Ahhh yes I'm on to bigger and better things. Now that I have this new tool I can finally put my big girl crafting panties on and join the rest of you with dignity!

YAY FOR ME!
