    Baker’s twine is everywhere and the shiny, glossy, glitzy, gliterry, glam seems to be really popular and classy these days, rather than gaudy! Enjoy your podcasts, thanks for sharing!

    Oh, a good one! I should’ve caught that, as I have several large rolls of Baker’s twine I in my craft space. Thank you so much for listening!

    I think that some of the trends you mentioned have stayed around or developed more due to how economical they are. Stamps, for example, can be very versatile and can be used again and again. The same can be said of die cut machines. With mists, you can use a lot or a little and you can use them to alter supplies that may have been in your stash for awhile.

    Two other trends I have noticed: paper ribbons/washi tape. I see these popping up in many new lines. I also have noticed how it’s ok to recycle everyday items or add items from around the home. Things like cheesecloth, bread tags, old magazines, etc. are popping up on some pages here or there.

    I too was going to mention Baker’s twine.

    Forgive me if I offend, but mustache trend, please, please, please go away!

    Great points! Yes, economical concerns definitely play a role. The washi tape is a fun trend I’m just starting to get involved in.
