    Tonya, this is so beautiful! I don't know how you woodburn so fluidly. I bought a little woodburning kit for about $15 and for the life of me, I can't seem to make it work well. Everything is blotchy and uneven...not very much control with it. Do you have suggestions?

      Hi Jules,
      I actually use the $15.00 set from Grizzly.com but we take the tip that comes with it and Mike grinds it down (sands it) so it is rounded. I will have to get a picture for you - I have one burner with a thicker tip and one with a thinner point - and both he sanded to a rounded point.
      I hope that makes sense.
      Warmly,
      Tonya

      Hi Mari,
      I did add them to our vermontbranchcompany.etsy.com shop - but they are expensive because each letter takes quite awhile.
      Blessings,
      Tonya

    I love this!! I am not sure If I have told you about Raverly all the knitting and crochet goodness. So many great ideas for Christmas. I also didn't know if you bought your Kindle. I just found out there is a app you can now borrow books from your local library. Free books, movies and auto books....This has made a great week for me!!

    Hugs!!
