  7. I have burned my fingers, hands, side of my head so many times with hot glue guns. I had an itch one time and reached up with the hand that had the gun in it, burned my cheek and squeezed glue into my hair! LOL

  11. Love to win this.... I left my glue gun on and didn't realize it and the glue was stuck all inside.. Took me some time, but it finally came out. But I would really love another better one =)

    at work and at home, i am always trying to do too many things at once...actually have to keep burn ointment next to my glue gun. after gluing felt hats on ping pong balls for 50 gnome catapults, my fingers hurt for a couple of days from all the burns.

  16. This give away looks really exciting! I've been looking for a way not to trail hot glue all over my table (and myself) when I use it. I'm surprised I still have fingerprints, as much as I burn the tips of my fingers on my glue guns.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Congrats on your 1 year anniversary! How has this wonderful idea been out for a year and I am just now hearing about it? I MUST get this...I am just too dangerous with a glue gun. Thanks for the chance...

  23. Happy,happy anniversary! Oh my goodness, I am so happy to see that someone has come up with this and that Louise Williams posted it on Facebook. I am now following you on Facebook. I had NO idea something like this was available and SO happy that it is, now to get a set for myself. I have such scared up finger tips from so many years of scouting and hot glue, this would have been a God's send to have, still would be today. Fingers crossed that I might be one of the lucky ones. :)

Well my Hot glue story, it actually happened last night, I was trying to make hot glue gun charms, and touched the charm to see if it was cold enough to move, It wasn't, ouch. I pulled it off of my finger and it stuck to my other finger lol. I am always burning my fingers by being impaitent. Would so love to win one of these prizes.

  57. Congratulations on your 1st anniversary of your Hot Glue Gun Helpers!! How wonderful for you. I would love to win one :) My glue gun story is probably like a lot of others..mine is in a plastic shoe box on the shelf, seldom used~~because I was getting so tired of burning myself on it~~plus the idea of the grandgirls using it about makes my hair stand on end!! Those burns hurt! So would be great to have one and the glue gun could come off the shelf and get used again. I just discovered you through Michaels at Christmas time last year. Enjoy your webinars and your blog and your facebook page..it's a good way to keep up. nsls89@gmail.com

    Hot glue and I go back years. We've shared good times and bad (cheap guns breaking mid project, burns, strings of hot glue out of control!) but it has never stopped being my go to project glue.

    I'm a FB fan and I'm been fun of you guys and your show for loong time! I still watch the reruns.
    My story about hot glue: I got a wooden frame with a pewter from my sister but it felt on the floor and came apart, I glue it with hot glue and is still on it place, amazing how strong hot glue is even with a heavy piece of pewter (it is a mexican sun)

    Keep crafting!!

  76. Hi Cathie and Steve~
    This is a great product for me! I'm always wearing a band-aid or two, along with a few "ouchie" words! If my glue gun isn't used to make some thing new, I'm always pulling it out to fix something to make it new again!

    love your show, especially your little drinks ;)
