Recently my dad gave me my grandmother's bible. I'm an old softy at heart, and was moved to receive the book, which was highly revered by the retired missionary. The gold ink displaying her name, which, because of a shared birthday was my name prior to my marriage, was still intact.

However, the outer cover along the binding edge of the book had separated from the inner pages. Concerned the problem would grow and further compromise the books structural integrity, I reached for Continuous Glue Lines® to put the cover back in place. A hot melt or liquid glue would have damaged the delicate onion-skin pages.

To repair the binding edge, I applied the Continuous Glue Lines® to the inside edge and cut to the desired length. Using my finger, I burnished the clear plastic covering so the Glue Lines® transferred to the pages, removed the plastic covering, folded over the outside cover and applied pressure to create the bond.

Thanks to our loyal customers, for the 6th consecutive year Glue Dots® Adhesive Products are a finalist in the Creating Keepsakes Reader's Choice Awards. Last year Glue Dots® products won the "Favorite Adhesives" category and we are hoping for a second straight win.

Here's a hot holiday project both you and your kids will enjoy making for either your holiday tree or to give as gifts. Once the red peppers have been dehydrated, kids can paint the faces and attach the eyes and nose using Mini Glue Dots®.

For the safety of kids and pets, we strongly recommend using sweet red peppers not Habaneras for this project and that food dehydrators are operated by an adult.

Here are a couple of holiday entertaining ideas.

1) If your party plans include buffet-style serving, consider making buffet serving cards with the name of the dish and displaying the cards next to the food item. That way guests know what they're serving up. Click for instructions.

2) Fill a cut glass or crystal bowl full of old family photos. Family and guests will enjoy looking through and sharing the photos. Not only is the display visually interesting, it's a great way to keep people entertained between dinner and football games.
