glycerin

This is hilarious, all the snow globe recipes that call for glycerin say you can find it in a drugstore. I have never seen glycerin in a drugstore in my life. At CVS tonight, the staff agrees they have never seen glycerin in their drugstore, but one nice staffer who used to work at Michael's craft store says I can find it there probably. While I'm at CVS I pick up some mineral oil, because that is what one of the "recipes" calls for. I do want to try it all the different ways, including the way where you make it with clear corn syrup. Let's see which works best.
For some reason I have a thing for snow globes. When I look in my pile of crafty ideas that I have collected over the years I found three different recipes for "How to make snow globes." One was from Martha Stewart, another from a craft magazine from way back, not even sure the name of the magazine, and the other I had handwritten, copied from somewhere, not sure where. Two of the craft books I just took out of the library also have directions on how to make snow globes. So I will give the different ways a whirl and report back.
I also am inspired when I see on a blog I just discovered that the creator of this blog is into snow globes too. She makes a very pretty one and this week it's on her site, called prettylittlethings (http://prettylittlethings.typepad.com/)
