Has anyone used the Clover yo yo maker?

I absolutely hated making yo-yos until I tried the Clover Yo-yo maker. It works great!!

You guys have me all reved up to start working on yo-yos! I am thinking I could even maybe work on some here at work. Time to start cutting circles, I guess.

Here's an idea for the yo yo's
I received a bd card from a great friend. She bought it in Paducah from the Yo Yo's of Paducah. It was a cat, and in the center was a yo yo. So...
I bought some cardstock; had a 'bear' stamp. Just made a card with an imprint of the cuddly looking bear. I made a few yo yos over the weekend and glued a yo yo to the center of the bear. I'm sending it to my cousin in MA congrat on the new baby. Oh...the roly poly circus quilt is for the baby.
On the back of the card: Yo Yo by Jo Jo

cute! Would love to see a pic of it!

qltsbme- Don't cut any circles yet. You will only need to cut squares. Get the Yo-yo maker first to see what size to cut.

[qltsbme]

squares??? that's cool! I have the makers. I will look at them tonight when I get home.

I am home again - I am going to try to make a yoyo. (Or is the singular form just a yo?)

Clover is coming out with 2 new shapes of Yo-Yo makers, hopefully by the end of this month. There are 2 sizes of hearts and 2 sizes of flowers. Also, in addition to the 2 size circle ones we have on our website, they are coming out with an extra small and an extra large. They will be on our website soon.

In Eleanor's book "Star Spangled Favorites" there is an Americana Flag made with Yo-Yo's.

Good grief! I put my yoyo makers "away." I have NO idea what I was interpreting as "away" when I put them there. So, somewhere in this studio there are two yoyo makers laughing at me looking for them. grrrr Now, it is NOT right for my toys to be teasing me like this!
