I hope it's okay--I posted a link to this offer at the newer "Faux Opals" page in case someone in the UK gets in a jam. I think the panic is over now, though. The tut is in 2 weeks, and everyone seems to either have their snow or know where it's coming from. Have fun!

At least it seems that way, IMO. The first is a feeler, to see if people like & express interest in a project or idea. People's comment's are "votes," so Cindy can see if there's enough interest to make a video. The second thread is a teaser of sorts, where Cindy tells us it's a-comin' up, sometimes with a specific timeframe, sometimes not. Eventually, Cindy will announce a calendar of videos for the upcoming month. She usually puts links to the four video topics in her announcement; the links usually point to that 2nd thread. Eventually, when the video preview comes out, it is posted on that page. It seems like when there's a third page involved, it's because a lot of information has been gone over, a lot of time has passed, or something along those lines. Cindy writes so many articles and comments, films all those videos, keeps up with emails, etc, I don't know how she does it all or keeps it all straight! And that's not even counting how she creates the techniques & projects to begin with! When does she find "time to clay?" Anyway, back to the point, sometimes there can be four different places where people have commented on a topic (like "snow" for Faux Opals.) That's why I was trying to help, because it's easy to miss. Especially when the project is as popular as this one seems to be!

I just found out I got the postage wrong from the site I mentioned first and it would be £4.49 for the postage! SO order canceled and buying from the same company through ebay where the postage is £1.40.

Just contact Cindy so she can give you my email address and you can send me your mailing address. Wow I hope that makes sense. I might not be able to get it in the mail so you have it by Friday but I will try my best to get it there soon. Cindy said a couple of Tablespoons goes a long way. If interested let me know.
