New requirement?!?

**Rubybubbles** · 01-10-2012, 01:47 PM

So I have a laminator, binder and now I think I need a glue gun

What does everyone think, is it a requirement (having just got a new work bench and sensory baskets

oh and space blankets ekk!) but dd made some lovely sensory bottles this weekend for me and I think they may really need a glue gun to fix them

I'm afraid I don't understand...

...you've gone all this time without a glue gun

Get yourself out now & get one. Not only is it a requirement, it's essential. Did you know you can buy glitter glue sticks to go in it?? What more reason do you need

And what about a staple gun? Have you got one of those?

Who said anything about them being for the children

These are mine...all mine. Even my own husband and teenage children are banned from using them

I get through miles and miles of double sided tape- especially essential for sticking photo's in,

My favourate gadjets are reaaly big hole punches, about2 or 3 inches across - in the shapes of flowers, circles, squares, stars, hearts and even christmas trees. I even lend them to the nursery!

what does everyone use their glue guns for???
