Butterflies for a great cause...and everyone can participate

From now through the end of September, the charitable design group The Lime Light will be making butterflies to send to the Houston Holocaust Museum. It is for their children's display that will be put up in the not too distant future. Everyone from can participate.  From your scouting group to your church group to any friends that would like to help out, all butterflies are welcome.

Here are the specifics according to the Museum:

1. Butterflies should be no larger than 8 inches by 10 inches
2. Butterflies may be of any medium the artist chooses, but two-dimensional submissions are preferred (not a butterfly drawn on paper, but not a full 3-D pinata either--the end product should be shaped like a flat butterfly)
3. Glitter and all glitter-related products should not be used; Stickles actually can be used
4. Food products (cereal, macaroni, candy, marshmallows or other perishables) also should not be used
5. Please include your name on each butterfly
6. We will be posting some butterflies on this website in the coming days and weeks so you can get an idea of what the team & others are doing.

Feel free to make as many as you'd like.  Involve your friends, church associates, scouting group...whomever you think might like to help. The address to send them to will be posted shortly. We will be submitting all of the team's & public's butterflies as one, and hope to get some pictures from the event.

For those waiting for the L Letterpress Quickutz Epic 6

I bought one what seems like decades ago, only to have well over a hundred dollars taken out of my account--and no machine/kit shipped to me. I found the following information on http://www.ucutathome.com/ (click HERE for the exact entry).  I recommend paying them a visit--they have a wonderful informative blog.  They keep you up to date (as evidenced), sell wonderful products, and have nice educational videos.
"According to the July 8 press release, Lifestyle Crafts (the makers of the Letterpress) has entered into an asset purchase agreement with QuicKutz Inc. to purchase the QuicKutz and Letterpress brands and products...QuicKutz will start back with their monthly product releases and start shipping all the back orders! It may take until fall to get all the back orders back in stock, but eventually they will have all their dies and accessories back in stock.."

This is so good to know, as I have sent several emails to the store I purchased them from with absolutely no replies.  Wish I'd known about this store!

Please let me know what experience you have had with L Letterpress Epic 6 & the whole Quickutz brand.  I purchased the kit combo because the Epic 6 promised to be very durable, and my Cuttlebug gave up the ghost--something wrong with the rollers.  The price of mailing it in for repair makes it not worth doing so.
