    Josie, they have them at Hobby Lobby in the Doll section near the felt. I just bought a ton last week because they were on sale, but they're only 99 cents a pack normally.

    Toy A Day has a Coraline paper craft. It's pretty cute.

    Are you allowed to take sewing needles or crochet/knitting needles? I'd say anything involving scissors is probably out as they could be considered a weapon. Hmmm this is a toughie! Embroidery would be a good one to do if you're able to take an embroidery needle on the flight.

    I made a picture by cutting pieces of paper to make the image (you could tear the paper). It took me 6 hours to complete. It was a picture of Tardis and had many little details so that's why it took so long. Here is a link (the pic is a little fuzzy, but you get the idea) http://fav.me/d2c92e0 But you would need glue for this one and I know that airlines also have restrictions on liquids and what kind of bottles you can bring with you so you'd have to check beforehand. Terrorists have just ruined crafting while flying! lol

    Thanks, Laurel! That's a big help!

    I think she means something like this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/50960446/hello-kitty-1-digital-images-1-inch

    If you know how to do it, Laurel, I'd like to know as well so I could do Scrabble Tile Collages. I just got Corel Painter and Photoshop Elements yesterday. I'm still learning to use them, so I have no idea how to do it or if it can be done in either program.

    I have the same problem. What I do when I'm done sculpting the white clay is take some rubbing alcohol and put it on a cotton swab or a paper towel and rub it over the clay. It takes the surface layer off leaving the clay really white.

    You could decoupage/Mod Podge them onto something (but be careful about the ink, because it may end up running, so I'd do a test spot first). Perhaps find a box (maybe heart shaped) and apply layers of letters and decoupage on the box. Or use them to decorate a Valentine's Day card.

    Lots of people sell E6000 on Etsy.com.

    Fondant doesn't taste good (to me anyway) but I think that it would keep really nicely with the vacuum sealing.

    I swear by E6000! Once it dries, it ain't going nowhere!

    True. I think I bought the business card paper at Target on clearance about 6 years ago for $2. I was going through a junk box I have at my office and that's when I found it. I was hand making thank you tags, but that just got too tedious. I don't enjoy cutting paper. Be sure to let us know when your shop is up and running and post a link. I'm excited to see it.

    Good idea on how to "name" the cards, Tara. I found a website where it let me make and print my own cards for free (can't remember the site right now). I happened to find some business card printing paper that I had bought years ago for work and never used it. So that worked out in my favor. They're nothing fancy, but they're kinda cool and retro looking.

    Curious Goods is an AWESOME name! I like it the best out of all the other choices.
