Through the years, this has been a popular question posted on the Family Crafts Forum. There have been a few people who have given suggestions, and I have posted them on the Stepping Stone Tips and Hints page. lrctwn recently posted this question on the forum so I thought I would feature it here to see if anyone else has any ideas.
