You?ve probably seen it ? that little gold bottle with the white lettering. I first encountered Aleene?s Tacky Glue when I was in Girl Scouts. I would create great projects using craft foam, cotton balls, Popsicle sticks and more.

Little did I know back then just how influential this product is in the world of crafting. Aleene?s Tacky Glue is part of a huge line of crafting products which originated with Aleene Jackson. Aleene love for crafting and creating was was passed down to her daughters. One of those daughters, Tiffany Windsor, took her love for crafting a step further and launched Cool2Craft in 2009. The Cool2Craft live show and website provide crafty tips and tutorials that help foster creativity and foster community.
