I found a copy of the 1969 Book Pressed Flower Pictures in the used books area of Barnes and Noble bookstore. It is an excellent reference for the type of craft you are looking for. Kate

Right, but you may be able to buy glass, have them do the cutouts, and temper it. There may be local glass shops that will do all of the above. Alternatively, if you can move your outlets under your cabinets or in your counters, then you could just order tempered glass online. Some will drill holes in the tempered glass. It also looks cleaner.

It sounds like they'll temper and print, right? How much do they charge? This post was edited by nosoccermom on Tue, Dec 9, 14 at 14:49

Hi TIA.. Funny you asked...... I am working on a digital photo scrapbook right now for my daughter's 30th BD. I am having really good luck with it..I am using a Photo Album Kit which I bought at Staples Office Supply. The kit is called Invent It ! You must use you own photo software to do the creating but this kit includes 15 sheets of 2 sided photo paper..one glossy side for best photos and one matte side for messages ..text ...and also can put photos this side as well, you also get two heavyweight paper cover sheets for front and back..and 1 heavyweight photo frame paper cover...the neat thing is that it also includes an easy to use spiral binder to bind the album. I am also adding things on regular acid free paper bought at walmart..the brand is Fiskars Photo Memories. I am using acid free stickers on both the photo and acid free paper as well. I am having fun and the print quality is great.. I have scanned paper clippings of her birth and baptism engagement marriage and her school activities ..a lot of things I saved from her growing up years. I am excited to get this done for her surprise party in a couple of weeks. I would certainly say GO For IT!! Nebgranny98

With organic, people think it's just the way the cotton is grown. That is part of it but a small part. The biggest issue for sheets is in the dyeing and finishing. That's where all the chemicals are used. Some sheets actually also have a chemical coating to make them feel smoother. A lot of the finishing chemicals get washed out when sheets are laundered before use. Some wash out over time. Others are used in treating the cotton fibers. So if you're going organic, and it says "100% organic cotton" that's one thing. But the sheeting itself would need to be milled in a global certified mill. Here is the info for that from Coyuchi's website: "This product is certified to meet the Global Organic Textile Standard [GOTS], the toughest organic-textile standard in the world. To obtain the GOTS "organic" label, a product: Must contain at least 95% organic fiber. Must not be treated with bleach, formaldehyde or any other toxic substances. Must be colored with non-toxic dyes. Must be produced in mills that enforce strict social and environmental standards, treating their employees and the earth with deep respect. GOTS certification means that this product meets the very highest standards from the field to the factory to your home. For more information on GOTS, click here. "Unless sheeting is GOTS certified (I just bought some towels which are) I wouldn't pay extra for organic. Coyuchi's towels are GOTS certified, but not the sheets. But they are specialists. Here is a 220 count percale with good reviews: https://www.coyuchi.com/220-percale.html And a 300 thread count percale: https://www.coyuchi.com/300-percale-sheet-sets.html All the organic Boll and Branch sheets are sateen weave -- or at least I didn't see any percale. So if you dislike sateen, and want percale, I wouldn't go there. As we know, thread count can be tricky as there are no standards and no verification. IOW it's basically marketing. I did a lot of research on sheet quality and it is all provided by retailers who are not buying from the mill. Also little information as there are no U.S. owned mills that produced sheeting any longer. It's all done overseas. I know that using a flat sheet as a bottom sheet appears to be returning. Of course, hotels do that and I just cannot stand it as the sheets work loose and bunch up. I would measure my mattress and buy bottom sheets that fit. And when replacing a mattress be sure it doesn't create problems.
