Ruth Has A Glue Gun And Knows How to Use It UPDATED

Well, maybe it wasn't a hot glue gun, but check out the stocking she just posted to her blog. Those hot fix crystal kits must be a load of fun! Here is the blog entry.

And here is what I turned up about hot fix crystals via Google. The second link below is a tips page to give you an idea how this all works.

This looks like something fun that might have lots of applications on other projects. Thank you, Ruth.
UPDATE: After I posted this blog entry, I emailed Ruth to ask her permission to use her photograph. She wrote back with permission ("I love free publicity.") but wanted me to clarify that the hot fix crystals system doesn't use a glue gun. Ruth said, "You don't use a glue gun to apply hot fix crystals. You use Swarovski crystals that have the glue already on the back and a special applicator that allows you to pick up the crystals, heat them and then apply. It is very cool but not a glue gun." Thanks for making the process clear, Ruth.
