Yeah, I am tired of them being in my purse. Now off to find the jewelry and the bead stuff and something to put holes in the pennies and something to drink to get the creative juices flowing. Well maybe a nap first....Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646008875944140258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-15294439720113135452010-08-10T01:06:58.857-04:002010-08-10T01:06:58.857-04:00How do you make smashed dimes and quarters?

It's specifically for photos so it only has relevant options, unlike Photoshop which is an impossibly huge range of options if you're not used to it (like me).<br /><br />I don't know if Lightroom would be worth it for you but if you process a lot of photos and especially if you have a DSLR then I reckon it'd be fun :-) It is for me!Tamsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392989714057094501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-2040150215467129822010-08-05T13:55:17.096-04:002010-08-05T13:55:17.096-04:00You should totally start selling necklaces on Etsy...You should totally start selling necklaces on Etsy or something!

So I checked online and also couldn't find Joann's brand, but I found what appears to be the same exact product in Making Memories brand, which is a brand Michael's carries. I went to my local Michael's, who didn't have them in the store, but I found places online that sell them. If you just do a google search of "making memories oval metal holders" you'll get results, especially in the "shopping results" list. I think this is where I'm going to end up getting them from, since I'm dying to make a bracelet or two as soon as I get some pennies.
