If you hadn't already seen my review of it on Youtube, check out my video here: You Tube Adhesive video
I was blessed with a sample from gluewithuhu.com of the twist&glue. It's an amazing product, and I'm not just saying it because I have some. It's amazing for all of it's functionality.
Most of us know UHU in the form of those gluesticks with the orange and pink stripes that were a staple of art classes in the 80s and 90s. They were clean, effective and wonderful. I am happy to say that in the form of Twist & Glue, UHU has retained their effective and wonderful-ness, although I had some messy problems.
I was immediately drawn to the package. It's a cool, nearly pyramid shape, but a bit round. The color is great, the yellow makes it easy to find, and the green stripe makes it pleasing to the eye. I just pulled off the cap and twisted the way the arrow on the package showed me to do. All you have to do next is flip over the bottle and lightly squeeze. Be careful because a LOT comes out. A LOT!!!! You only need a little and if you make the mistake of pressing hard, you'll end up with sticky fingers and hair and.... Well, you get the picture.
The glue dries surprisingly quickly on paper and cardboard, and I love giving an extra press to everything just to be sure. I also tested the glue on felt and cotton. While it dried on felt, it was much quicker on the cotton. According to the packaging it also glues cork, wood and is not damaged by freezing, which is lovely, and makes this glue fully functional--great for crafting, as well as being awesome for around the house uses. Keep one in your craft room and keep one in your kitchen junk drawer, just to cover all your bases.
Overall, this product earns an 'A' from me.

Support your LSS!!!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have a lot to post, including my first finished album (1 of 2), a chipboard minibook that I really liked, a Halloween chipboard minibook, another Halloween item and much, much more.
Things are getting done, but I've run out of pictures because I've been investing so much of my time in digital backup, LOL. Will have to run somewhere this week with a photo disc and get printing (or find my photo printer's power cord, LOL).
I'm posting today to tell you about a GREAT little shop. Totally wonderful, in fact, by the name of Scrapbooker's Paradise.
Feeling Welcomed at a Scrap Store
I’ve recently posted about my experience at Archiver’s. Well, last night I celebrated my singlehood (for a week) with a trip to a local Scrapbooking store I’d never heard of—Scrapbooker’s Paradise. Located on E. Tallmadge Avenue, chances are you’ve driven by it before—it’s in the plaza right behind Gus’ Chalet. It’s less than 10 minutes away from Barberton, so it’s right around the same distance as I drive to go to Fairlawn (definitely a plus with today’s gas prices).
I was greeted immediately by Julie (who owns the store along with a partner) and Julie’s sister in law, but I felt a little embarrassed because I had my security blanket (read: cell phone) with me and was talking to my Grandmother. I’ve done this before at places when I walk in, just in case I feel nervous or get that ‘scrapper’s snub.’ It was definitely not the case at Scrapbooker’s Paradise. While they were working at a table, I got to see a few of the projects they were working on, as well as the store. It’s a pretty good size, and it’s got all manner of diecuts, patterned paper, embellishments and much more. They have a lot of machines, some stamps and even punches and scissors. I was very impressed by the amount of cardstock (and in such pretty colors!).
I’ve gotten a list of their events, and you can even find them on the web at http://www.scrapbookersparadise.net/. I’m planning on going to my first official crop soon, I think. It sounds like a great, friendly group of ladies.
I picked up some paper for my Disneyland Album and some envelopes, tags and dominoes. They also had Black Diamond Stickles, so I snapped those up, and some charms for a few albums. All in all, I was really happy with my visit. And I’m eagerly anticipating my return visit—I was happy with the fact they also custom order paper if you can’t find the paper you have your heart set on.
Anyway, go support an LSS—head out to Tallmadge Ave. and go to Scrapbooker’s Paradise. You won’t be sorry, nor will you receive a “Scrapper’s Snub.”
Review: A (It was a really solid store and really great people, and I really love the fact they’ll custom order—plus I want a crack at that Disney font I saw, LOL).
