Printable Vintage Crate Labels: After seeing the post about vintage advertisements on http://www.adflip.com

I got into searching for printable crate labels for my general store. I found a terrific site at http://www.labelcollector.com

Everything is organized according to what the label looks like. For instance, under Patriotic you might find a label for apples with a picture of the white house on it, or under flowers you might find a vegetable label with a flower logo. The pictures are for sale to people who want the FULL size label, however for us it's possible to right click and "save as". They may need to be re-sized for printing. I hope this is useful to anyone making some fimo fruits and just needs a nice vintage label for the crate!

Biodegradable Packing Puffs: For those of you that were interested in my post about making hollow Fimo beads and vessels, by using the biodegradable packing puffs that  melt in water:

I've found a craft source.  There is an article in the new April 2001 CRAFT magizine.  They list the source as Highsmith Corruboard... "Wet N' Set  Magic Nuudles".  They come in different colors, if you need  that.  The  free call number is:  1- 800 - 554-4661

Fimo vs. Sculpey: You can find a comprehensive overview on polymer clays (and resin) at my web site.  Go to the second screen and "click" on MARY'S MENUS PROJECTS. Whichever clay you feel comfortable using is the right one for you. http://www.pannikins.com/
