  4. Glue sticks!!! I love glue sticks! It makes me wonder why we didn't have them when I was in elementary school. I don't worry about the mess involved with allowing my five-year-old to sit at the coffee table and glue paper together.

    I also love their wood glue - my dad swore by it and always used it in his wood working projects.

  14. I love the Elmer's glue dots, too. I use them to hang things up around the house (light things, of course), make cards and stuff, and to glue just about anything that I can get away with using them on.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm a follower and love this giveaway. I'm pretty sure I heart their gluesticks- they're the best :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm a follower! I LOVE their glue sticks! And yes, I maybe still put glue on my hands to peel it off when we have the glue out.... but did you know if you put it on your nose, let it dry, and peel it off it gets rid of blackheads???? Learned that on dr oz I think.... I've never tried it, but just another reason to love Elmer's!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love glue dots! I also love to peel dried glue off of my hands!

    ReplyDelete

  36. I'm a follower, and yeah we did put it on our hands. Ahh, the memories, I guess Elmer's glue would be my favorite. We used Elmer's Glue to make bracelets. We also used to put it on Spacemaker's supply box. It would capture the words and we would have a nice bookmark.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Elmer's school glue rocks for all sorts of things!! And I am dying to try that new industrial strength glue stick they have out!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. i'm a follower and i love elmers. Best glue ever and i love their glue sticks. I would totally rub the glue on my hands and pick it off during class, lol

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love the good ol' fashion glue sticks! They are a staple in my scrapbooking box!

    ReplyDelete
  40. My fave elmer's product is the glue runner that I use for scrapbooking.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love their glitter glues because I just love glitter, in all it's forms. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. That is so funny you mentioned pouring glue in your hand and letting it dry. Me and my husband were just talking about this the other day. I used to love to do this when I was a girl. Oh the good old days.. lol

    I love Elmer's Glue Dots.. They are affordable and I use them on everything. Thanks for the fun giveaway..

    ReplyDelete
  43. My favorite has to be the good old fashioned glue. I prefer it over all other brands and all gluesticks. And yes, I secretly like to peel it off as well :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love glue dots, I volunteer to be a den leader in cub scouts and I hate to clean up the mess white glue make(although I do love to pull it off my hand when it dries). Glue dots don't take as long to dry either, we only have an hour to do it all.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I am a follower...and I totally did the glue on the hand thing (I actually did it once when I was an adult b/c I was bored at work)

  46. I forgot about the dried glue trick! Bahahah! I love the glue sticks...so much safer in my kids' hands than a big bottle of the white stuff. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Their glue is a necessity for everyone! And yes i used to peel it off my hands too...

    ReplyDelete
  48. Of course I follow you! You totally crack me up! Plus you live right near my bestie (she's in Inkom) and I am way far away in WI. So I feel like we could be real friends. Anywho, love the glue sticks for the kids, regular glue for me. And I definitely did the hand thing. (WHY did we do that again?)

    ReplyDelete
  49. I <3 the glue dots!! Don't know what I did before I discovered those!

  56. I'm a follower and I love glue sticks because I love watching what my 4 yo creates and glue sticks are soooo much safer in the hands of a 4 yo than good old fashioned glue. Anyone remember those jars of paste from grade school that smelled slightly minty and were crumbly? I remember everything had this bumpy texture cause it was hard to spread! Ahhh, good old days!

    ReplyDelete
  57. i think my favorite is just plain ol' white glue! and yeah, i totally used to make the fake skin to peel off! :D

    ReplyDelete
  58. Glue sticks! We go through those things so fast it's ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Okay call me silly, but I like the glue sticks that are purple at first and then it disappears. Because even little kids can use it. 2nd fav is regular glue.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I love glue sticks!!! Pretty much the best non messy tool for a crafty two year old (my daughter)!

  89. I am a follower through email. I love your site :) I can't sew to save my life, so my hot glue gun works extra hard!

    I truly love the all purpose craft adhesive glue stick. It's better than any other gluestick I've ever tried. I normally hate gluesticks and think they don't hold up over time, so I wasn't hopeful when I got it, but it's been amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  90. I've had Elmer's FB page "liked" for quite some time now. And they DO have some really good crafts on their site. An excellent mix of both girl and boy crafts, and tons of way to customize just about all of them.

  91. Elmer's glue stick. They're so handy and non-messy!

    ReplyDelete
  102. haha I did that too! I also made bookmarks with them. You know the little school boxes that come in millions of colors I would color that with marker then fill it with glue, let it dry.. and then i would get a colorful molded book mark! So my fav would have to be the glue!

    ReplyDelete
  103. I love Elmer's white glue. We use it to decorate wood boxes by writing our name in the glue and sprinkling glitter on top. This way we know who's box is whose, and we "got our sparkle on!!!"

  131. I am already a follower. I think school glue became my favorite when I realized I could mix it with water and use it instead of Mod Podge. Saves me so much money when I can get it all much cheaper in the back to school sales! Yes!

  132. I am a follower already. I love the elmers glue dots.. they are sooo strong-- I use them to attach laminated picture/word labels to all the toy bins. And yes.... I sooo poured glue on my hands and peeled it off after it dried. ;P
