Thank you, Margaret.
Darce, the tool wasn't expensive -- I believe it was around $15 at Hobby Lobby. I saw one for $20 at Micheal's. It's basically a soldering iron. I read reviews that the flat tips are the only useful ones (that the concave tips tend to get the crystals stuck in them), so keep that in mind if you decide to give in to temptation.
Thanks, Georgia. I love to include a quote -- usually it's a scripture verse, but I turned to poetry for this one.
Agnes, I hope so.
Kmouse -- thank you.
Thank you, ladies. It's always nice to hear your encouraging words.
Love,
Heidi
