Found these great clear boxes for what I thought was a great price on PaperWishes.com. They have great things for sale in their ‘Moms Warehouse Sale’ listings. Looks like at least right now, these are still 5 for a dollar. I decided to use them for some birthday gifts I put together recently. Well, I(…)

Once again I needed to reorganize my acrylic stamp collection because it was totally getting out of control so I’ll be realistic now and say that this is ‘this years’ solution.* (* – subject to change) 4 x 6 photo insert sleeves with plastic tab inserts for categories. Simple but effective. Make Your Own Inserts One tip(…)

Did you ever have that ‘something’ that you needed to keep because you knew you ‘might’ need it at some point but could never find the ‘right’ place to store it that you would remember? This was how I felt about those many drawer dividers that come with the large jet max cube single large drawer models.(…)

Finally! I got my craft room painted and all back in at least enough to take some photos. Yet to do is paint my chairs in a consistant color. I’m still debating that one. Here is a link to the way my craft room looked before I painted. I went to Lowes, and found the(…)

I think it’s okay to keep trying ideas to organize your craft supplies until you find the one that works. This is what my ribbon storage looks like now…I am able to get way more ribbon in here than before. This is what it looked like before with a mixture of the bobbin idea and some of(…)

1. I’m 90% done my craft room but haven’t put away all of the messes just yet to take a photo. Will do this weekend. 2. I dislike greatly (nice way of saying hate!) browser incompatibility! So right now i’m in the middle of taking my new design and putting it in a more flexible(…)

Here is a small sneak peek into my craft room re-do! Here is my ‘not cleaned yet’ hutch with the painted ceiling and walls. Feels like a cozy cottage and I like that. BUT…I only finished painting half the room so far…ugh! More progress coming soon!

Okay I know this is another craft supplies post, but now not only am I coming across deals at yard sales, but now family members are finding me to give their no longer wanted craft supplies too! How can you say no to such a gracious gift! Lets start with wooden stamps! My mother called(…)

Question. I went to a yard sale the weekend before last, and someone was selling a ton of scrapbooking stuff. I filled a bag and she gave me a price for the whole lot. So getting to my question…do you think this was worth $40? Here is what I grabbed: 12 x 12 Stack, 3(…)

I had a spark of inspiration while shopping the clearance racks at Christmas Tree Shops recently. I found some flameless candles there covered in some semi torn and nicked up decorative thin paper. So seeing that the paper was coming away from the candles, I saw that it could easily be removed and thought they(…)

I made a two toned scarf before but the accent color was a bit more sporatic. I wanted to see if I could figure out a pattern to make the colors more even and consistant through out the scarf. With a couple starts and restarts, I came up with this design that I’m pretty proud of. The(…)

Okay…I realize it’s the middle of January but I realized I never posted my resolutions for this year like I did last year. Achieving some of my list last year, I think I did pretty good. This year I have a list of projects that I want to note right now as ‘projects I have(…)

At the craft fair this year, I received a special request for more post it holders so I snapped a few pictures of them so I could remember the designs. This batch compared to the last batch I did, have more color to them I think and I added some ‘Just for You’ setiments. I(…)

Wanted to post quickly to let you know I’m working on my site right now…so if your visiting and the design looks a little funny, this is why I’m working on a new design! So excited about it but the down side is some messed up layouts on my live site periodically. Thank you(…)

Here are the composition books I decorated for the craft fair. They could be used for journals but also just school notebooks. I kept most of them generic so that anyone who bought them could buy letter stickers to either add their name to the front, or a school subject, or whatever they would like.(…)

I know I know…more gift tags…but I really wanted to share. I think these are quick craft fair items that I thought i’d make a few to see how they do at my first craft fair in a couple of weeks. I’m going to package 6 in a cello bag and sell them 6 for(…)

See yesterday’s post as to why this is a take two for making gift tags. Michaels was having a lowest prices of the season sale so while I was there getting some extra yarn for craft fair scarves and christmas present scarves (yes more scarf posts ARE in the near future), I picked up a bottle of(…)

I post my successes but I also don’t mind posting my semi-failures and first try results with techniques. So here it goes. I’m getting ready for my first ever craft fair so I’m pretty excited and nervous at the same time. I had an idea to make sets of christmas gift tags to sell. I originally(…)

Yes…yes…another scarf. But isn’t it just lovely? Light, to medium, to hunter greeens with some browns as well. This is 1 entire skein of I believe it was Loops and Threads Charisma. I looked for the wrapper to get the exact color but misplaced it. Once again, a 6 peg width on my Knifty Knitter(…)
