As discussed WAY upthread, there is an inkjet printable shrinky dink, but I've never been able to actually find any to buy. Most people use colored pencil and such. I have a nifty AL GAL necklace that Jenni made for me that was done with colored pencil. It's beautiful.

Ok. So, whoever would make this would have to draw. I can't, so even if there was a craft store near me, I wouldn't be able to do this myself.

The question still remains: Will anyone help me? I asked Diva long ago, but she hardly ever comes on line.

If Jenni can't, I'll give it a try. If I can find my shrinky dink.

Ok, thanks, Bobbi.

Sorry it took so long to answer. I was having some technical difficulties with the forum yesterday. You can't use a printer with regular shrinky dink paper and I've never found the printable kind. I'm not sure I can draw a charmin charm like that but, if Stephen will give me some time I can give it a shot. He likes to be held a lot. HEHE.

I think Kinkos has the ability to print on stiff paper, so that might work...

It's not that the paper is too stiff. It's that the ink can't sink in and dry on the shrinky dink paper. I tried. That's when I decided to put my good friend colored pencil to work. hehe

Aww, well, having to hold a baby is a pretty good excuse, Jenni. But, if you're willing to try and draw the charm, that's ok by me!

Anyone still wanna help with the charm? If not, I can deal.

Btw, remember the Weird Al Rules bracelet my cousin was re-doing for me? Not sure if I mentioned it in this thread. Well, she had finished it a while back, but couldn't find it. This was in like August. Well, she just emailed me, and she found it, and she's sending it in the mail! I can't wait to see it! I will scan it when I get it, and show you.

Hey Patti, I just dicovered some shrinky dink stuff in our house. Could you find me a picture of the packaging that would look closest to the charm?

Or this one?
