Today I wanted to share a video from WAY back. In fact, this was the very first 2-Minute Tuesday Tip video I ever did. It’s all about Heat & Stick Powder and how to use it. This is a great time of the year to show it again because nothing says Christmas like GLITTER!
I was just working with glitter yesterday and it dawned on me…. I had totally forgotten about Heat & Stick Powder. It was time to dig it out of the bottom of my Embossing Box!
Let me share today’s Heat & Stick Powder tips….
What do you think? Pretty awesome stuff, am I right?

I shared with you last week that I was embarking on a new journey. It’s not stamping, but something I am doing for myself. Can you see it? I got Invisalign braces! These are clear braces that clip onto your teeth. I will have a series of 19 ‘trays’ that I switch out every 10-14 days. These trays slowly move my teeth back into place.
I have struggled my whole life with crooked teeth. As a kid, I had HORRIBLE buck teeth. No, I had more than just buck teeth, they had a huge gap in them too. God bless my parents, they spent a fortune straightening my teeth but over the years I have noticed my teeth crowding and those front teeth wanted to protrude out again.
It was time to take action before I looked like this.
And yes, with my Invisalign, I sound like this! LOL The orthodontist says it will go away. I hope he’s right.
It will take some adjustment because I can’t drink coffee with them (this was NOT an easy thing for me to hear) but luckily the doc said if I could just cool my coffee down a bit, I can still drink with them in. I just have to brush them really good after. You have to take the trays out to eat as well SO my hope is that I will lose weight since I won’t be as likely to snack throughout the day. It’s a hassle to eat – take out the trays, eat, brush your teeth, brush the trays, put them back in….EVERY time you eat. Yeah, now you see why I will lose weight. I literally take them out 3 times a day and that’s it. The goal is to wear them 20-22 hours a day.
So….if you hear me lisp a little on a video, you’ll know why. I’ll keep you posted!

You have a beautiful smile. Praying your willpower lasts throughout the entire time.
Thanks Kim! I hope it lasts too. I think with the amount of money I paid, I will keep them in. Its only until June so I think I can do it. 🙂
Good for you! I made a similar decision last year. My front teeth were misshapin, discolored, and plain ugly. For literally years, I never smiled for a photograph. Then I decided to have 6 of these teeth crowned. Now I can’t stop smiling!
Love all your videos and have learned so much on 2-Minute Tuesday ♡
Yay!!!! I had a crown done too. When I was about 20, I had a tooth that stuck out and I hated it. The crown wasn’t fun but now it’s 30 years later and it is still going strong. Well worth it!
Don’t worry about a lisp – it will all be worth it! Go for it girl!!!
It’s been a full week now and the lisp is gone. Yay!
Good for you doing something for yourself! I have been tempted to do something like that too, but at 63, I think I am past that stage.
I’ve heard of people of all ages doing Invisalign. 🙂
Carole, go for it! I did it at 61 and wished I had gotten them sooner!
Good look Connie with the trays, it will be worth it in the end. I had my teeth sorted after many years of deliberating and I am so pleased I did, now I just want to smile all the time. Good for you!
I just keep telling myself, “It’s only until June, it’s only until June!”
