Chris,
I had the same problem with Nuvo drops and contacted the company because they were only a couple of months old. They advised to take the cap off, and wash out the nozzle. When I did that, they worked perfectly again, but have started to make those little peaks again, so looks like I need to do it again. I tried that with several bottles and they all worked afterwards. It didn't make sense to me, but they said the nozzle gets partially clogged, which interferes with the flow, and causes the peaks. They also advised me not to store them in sunlight, which I hadn't. Oh, and to store them upside down.
Good idea to use them as paint though, too. You would have to thin them, but it should work. I'll give that a try if the nozzle washing doesn't work anymore. I just can't bring myself to toss out supplies, even when they don't work correctly, ha!

I want to say thank you again to P. Searcy (not sure what her username is)...I was amazed at the package you sent in a priority envelope back in March 2019...I continue to use what you sent but I have used over half of the envelope.
You might not remember the package but it was STUFFED...and I have had fun during 2021 as I have chosen to not purchase anything for myself but to use what I have as much as possible!

I have a set of 4 mini embossing folders by Cuttlebug to offer as a pif to one of you. These are winter theme with one being a snowman, one is a "cool" snowflake, another one is smaller snowflakes and a winter house. I found this photo online (not my photo). PM me if you want this set.

Hawaii, Your cd cases will be in tomorrow's mail. I was able to squeeze 17 in the envelope. That is how many I counted it took to make one storage tower set, or you'll have plenty to make cubes.
I have a couple of things to offer. The first is Cricut markers to use on the Cricut die cutting machines. I'm not sure if they work on the newer ones, but they work on the Expression, and those types. Some of these were shared with me, and I had some in my stash too. The colors are Black, Brown, Yellow and Green. I can only mail in the U.S. Just let me know what you would like, either or both, etc.. Easter tags are spoken for. Markers removed.

Reason: update
Hi Lercy,
I got my coloring book today too, and I can't wait to start coloring it in. I recently got some dual tip Tombow markers that will work perfectly with these images. Thank you so much for your generous PIF.
Karen
two items available for USA only (learned my lesson after paying almost $15 to send a $3 stamp to Canada). Dimensions of the box/sleeve that holds them 10.25 h x 2 w x 10 d
1) claimed - SU! Creative Ideas Portfolio II - set of 4 spiral bound idea books that includes patterns that can be copied. Looks like this is from 2001, so any stamps used in the projects are probably long gone (unless you have them in your stash). Could still be used for inspiration.
Oh Lercy, I got your wonderful coloring book in the mail today. Thank you so much! You are so dear to be so generous!
You are welcome and I hope you have many happy hours coloring. One of my favorite things about working in these books is seeing the detailed images come alive with color. I have a lot of colored pencils and the books are my favorite use of them.

You are welcome. Hope you found time this weekend to relax with some coloring. Ocean scenes just call out for all the beautiful blues and greens -- and the bright colors of saltwater fish!
Hi Lercy, I enjoyed coloring in the new coloring book today. I watercolored the critter, but that paper isn't meant for water, so I switched to markers and colored pencils, and it turned out cute!
I just wanted to show the revision I made on the cube storage I made, as the hot glue by itself just wasn't sturdy enough. I added duct tape to the whole outside, wrapped it around the entire thing, and that helps it not be as wobbly. I am going to use something else for my marker storage, as it just makes it so heavy, and I like to use my markers in the other room too, but it isn't sturdy enough to carry around the house. So I am going to store my inks and such in it, as I don't move them around.

The back case insert fell off the backs of one of the cubes, and all of my markers went tumbling out of the back of it. So, I'm not sure if another type of glue would work better, but the duct tape helped. But I am still keeping my markers in something else, so I can carry them with me.
Just thought I would share it, so it would hopefully help.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the update on the CD case storage boxes. I don't plan on moving mine at all (when I make them, that is...still haven't gathered them all), so it may hold together better. However, I wondered how sturdy they would be with just hot glue, since my experience with hot glue in the past was that it doesn't really hold things together well. Crazy glue would probably work better?
By the way, that cat patterned duct tape is so cute!
Karen
Yes, I think it needed a stronger glue. I used a 10 yard roll of duct tape on each one. I came across the kitty tape at Hobby Lobby a couple years ago; they had tape marked down to 1.49. I've never seen it that cheap anywhere since.
Mahalo Sis Chris !! Grandson brought the mail in today and they are here !! A few was damaged from the shipping process I'm sure ...but since I'm not feeling well enough yet to do much yet . I'll let you know how it turns out when I do...I had just started my copic collection so what's good are probably all I need .mahalo Fairy Much!! As for let us know about hot glue isn't the best way ...I'm gonna try the E6000 that seem to be a very strong and excellent glue when I use to do earrings And it seem to be good for all things.
Also sorry everyone I have not had the strength to dig yet throught my stash.... but I will
miss everyone and I hope to get more strength and energy...Aloha for now
Hi! I just reached for my Gelli Plate and came across a 5x7 one that I had long forgotten about. I remember at the time I thought a second smaller one would come in handy -- guess not, as I never used it. Anyway, it's new, never been used. If interested, I will pick up the postage.
Item is no longer available ... (Shartl)

Hi Hawaii, I am glad to hear they made it to you. I am sorry to hear that some got damaged. I wondered how the E 6000 would do with plastic or acrylic. Don't worry about being in any hurry; I'm sure we all understand. I think I have a couple of cd cases:they aren't in the best shape. One has a big sticker on it from the cd, and the other has turned a weird orangey brown color; I guess from exposure to the sun, but they would still work, especially if you are covering them anyway. Just let me know if you need them or want them.
Does anyone want the cricut markers or Easter tags? It doesn't have to be a PIF, it can just be a gift, with no expectation of anything on your part. If you do, just send me a PM and let me know. As always, I can only ship in the U.S..
I removed the markers offer. I'll just keep them. I'll see later on if there is something I have that people might be more interested in.
Hawaii, I will send you those two cd cases just in case you were wanting to make the storage thingie. One of the cases is already glued shut. If you can't use them; feel free to toss them or whatever. I'm much happier with mine since I covered the outside of them in duct tape; sturdier.

I have a small PIF to offer. Although my photo shows the full sheets, I'll be popping the journaling shapes, labels and frames out to mail them. They can all be used on card fronts, and the long, thin one would work for a slimline card. If you are interested, please PM me. USA only please.
