Thanks. We probably won't start it this week. I'd like to figure out my bottle issue first.

I may go find aquarium sealer tomorrow while I'm out. I'm just frustrated. Now if the two my mom made,with E6000 but used a different technique then I did, seal I'll start doing them her way. They should be cured by tomorrow so I'll find out.

I hope everything works out for you.

Good score on the kits! I love coupons! And keep us posted on the bottle nipple issue :)

I need to go back tomorrow for paint thinner I guess. I don't know if my kits had them. confuse But at least I have more 40% off coupons biggrin

honeyloves · Guru

you dont need paint thinner with what you have now (the begginer package )

Buffington · Guru

If you live out of the USA, they will not ship the thinner. But you can get it at Michael's or any art supply store. Also, like Ash said above, you don't need it (depending on what paints you have, read the stickies on how to use the different types of paints). :D

I am so glad those coupons are working out for you. The kits don't call for thinner but if you decide you want some go back to Hobby Lobby, with your coupon, they have artist grade thinner in their art supplies where the brushes, palettes, paint etc... are. I was able to get plastic squeeze bottles there as well.

The only problem I had w/ kit #2 was getting the blush thin enough. Remember to stir the paint well before you use it and put very little on the cosmetic sponge. You shouldn't need thinner then.

That's where I got it and a squirt bottle. The thinner,oderless,was like $5. I've not started it yet. I've just not felt like it.

Good that you are getting your supplies together hun. Ad far as starting your baby, you will when you are ready. In the mean time, do your homework and research lol. :D

I will. Mom and I haven't been able to sit down in my room and watch the DVD yet. I've not felt well for a bit. I've slacked off on trying to make my bottles and sell my newest batch of pacifiers.

I have found out selling the pacifiers comes in waves. I went a bit without an order then sold FOUR in 12 hours. 3 to one person! We don't really do it for money,cause I don't make much on them after fees etc,we just do it for something to do.

My mom's been crocheting blankets for the reborns we just can't seem to sell our first one. Crocheting keeps her fingers from hurting and freezing up because of her RA. But I think we need to adjust the price then maybe I'd get sales. *sigh*

I have been sick on and off since January so I know how you feel. Don't be so hard on yourself. It is difficult to take on something new when you just don't feel good. Take care of yourself first and the rest will follow.

It took me a while to start my first kit too. There is no time limit on how soon you should begin your reborning. Once you are ready we will all still be here to help you.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you Sevr. The rain and cold makes my fibromyalgia flare up. When that happens I just don't feel like doing nothing.

Even as easy as making pacifiers are I don't even want to make them. But I'm going to have to since I just got about 30 in today. lol

Buffington · Guru

I hope you both feel better soon. I know it's no fun hurting. HUGS
