Hi, For the woman who asked what might be the glue used in an old scrapbook:   
      
   Your relative might have used homemade Wallpaper Paste, which you can make by   
   cooking flour and water together.  Wallpaper has been in use for hundreds of   
   years, and we didn't always have Elmer's glue! Here's a recipe for Wallpaper   
   paste:   
      
   Homemade Wallpaper Paste Recipe   
      
    1 1/2 cups white flour   
    1/2 cup sugar   
    1 Tbsp alum*   
    3 cups of water   
      
   Combine flour and sugar. Slowly add 1 cup of cold water and beat out any   
   lumps.  Put mixture in a saucepan.  Add 2 cups of water. Stirring constantly,   
   bring the mixture to a boil on medium heat. When stiff, remove from heat and   
   add alum.  Store in an airtight container.  It should keep several weeks.  If   
   the paste hardens, soften by mixing in small amounts of warm water as needed.   
      
   *Alum is a pickling spice found in the spice section of your store.   
   It's a preservative.

   In those days when I was a kid, we used flour and water paste.  If we were   
   lucky, there was something called mucilage(spelling?).  Also, egg white could   
   be used.

   Here's an anonymouse email:   
   I have two ideas:   
   1. Milk glue. The recipe follows.  It is a strong holder.  As can be   
      seen.  I got the recipe online.   
   2. Flour paste. This is simply water and flour mixed together dabbed   
      on a paper sheet for sticking other papers to the sheet.  I used   
      this as a child.   
      
   1. Milk glue   
   What you need:   
   Milk   
   White vinegar   
   Baking soda   
   PanWater   
   Strainer   
      
   Instructions   
      
   Heat 1 and a half cups of milk in a pan.  once warm add 3 teaspoons of white   
   vinegar.  Keep heating and stirring the mixture and you should see the curds   
   (solid part ) and whey ( liquid part ) separate   
      
   Strain the mixture using a sieve. You should be left with solid lumps which   
   you can mould together to make a ball.  These are the curds.   
      
   Place the solid mixture back in the pan and add a little water and a   
   tablespoon of baking soda.   
      
   Heat the mixture until it starts to bubble.Give it a good stir and let it   
   cool.  You can now use it as glue.  You might need to add a little more water   
   or baking soda until you get the right consistency. It should look like a   
   thick paste.

   Beth Ann A is looking for a specific stuff animal for her daughter: Hi, I hope   
   you can help me! I am looking for a very specific stuffed animal.  My daughter   
   plays with it at her preschool and desperately wants Santa to bring it for   
   Christmas, but after searching online and calling the manufacturer, I cannot   
   find one It is Hugfun International brand, and it is a stuffed chihuahua with   
   two outfits. They were sold at Family Dollar a couple years ago under the name   
   Uptown Pets.  I will attach a few photos I found on some listings on ebay that   
   had already sold.
