Thanks for sharing! I have to travel over 45 miles to get to a craft store to purchase my stamp cleaner and most of the time they do not have it in stock!

Thank you so much! I live overseas and so getting stamp cleaner can be quite difficult. Up til now, I have used the rubber conditioner from the automotive section I buy from the hardware store. It works really well, but the savings don't compare with your recipe! Thank you so much for sharing!

Oh my goodness! I love this! Thanks for the recipe- and really...the rosewater is not optional, "purty" counts in many ways! Tee hee!

AWESOME! I love your bottle cover-up and a thousand thanks for the recipie. Into my favs, as I'm getting low myself and would have to order very soon.
I had a recipie for refreshing marker tips, but I could not get glycerine anywhere - even asked at the pharmacy. I hope I have better luck this time.

Thanks so much for this Ellen. I read the comment about preservative on your blog. I know I'm finishing up a bottle (actually just threw it away) that was dauber style and whatever was in it was coming out the dauber a little slimy (and that was store bought!!) Having large amounts, I hope it keeps cause it is a fantabulous idea and I can't wait to try it.

I have been making it for 2 years and have never had it go slimy. I do go through it fast though as I share with my friends. I will check out and see what that company is selling. Thanks for the kind comments!
