Simple Storage / Weekly Deals

It is Tuesday again and that means new Weekly Deals!  Don't miss seeing them HERE!

This past weekend I added a couple of new storage items to my craft area.  I wasn't even looking for the tray when I came across it.  It is actually a Cosmetic Bin but the spaces are perfect for just a little bit of storage right at my fingertips.

You can see it perfectly holds my new sugar shakers that are holding some Baker's Twine, my Wink of Stella Pens, some pre-cut watercolor paper, Stampin' Dimensionals and Bling.

Best Part... MADE IN THE USA!   ^^

Here is what I was actually looking for, sort of.  I wanted to find some of those little shakers like you see at a pizza restaurant with the cheese in them.  However, I found these at Walmart for 98 cents!  Better than the dollar store, right!  ha ha!

You can see they hold both of the spools of Baker's Twine from the Occasions catalog and three of the Thick Baker's Twine from the Annual Catalog.

Here's a better view of each one.  Click on any picture to open them in another tab for easier viewing.

Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Tuesday!   ~ Donna

Washi Sale - Washi Storage

As I'm sure you've heard by now - Monday was the first day of Stampin' Up!'s Online Extravaganza.  So, now you need a place to store your bargain priced Washi Tape, right??

Have I got a great idea for you!  THIS is where I store my Washi Tape - inside the Small Die Box (122219).  This is perfect for me with all the pets we have in our house!  My tape stays fur-free!  Yay!

Take a look inside!  I still have room for more, but not for long, since I just ordered some on the 50% off sale!!  Who can pass that up at HALF OFF?! 

The prices down below for the Washi Tape is full price.  When you go to my store, it will be half off.  Don't forget to check out all the other great sale items too.  Some items are while supplies last, so don't wait!

If you would like to place an order for shipment directly to you, use Hostess Code:  RMWE2CSB.

Stampin' Emboss the Keurig Way

How do you store your Stampin' Emboss Powders and Glitter?  Well this is how I'm storing mine and I am thrilled with it!  We actually spotted this on Mary Fish' website when a friend suggested it to her.  The jars fit perfectly and it will hold up to 27 of them.  I even have room for my retired ones (notice the bright green sticker?) and there's room for more.

I don't know about the rest of you, but my eyes have a terrible time finding the name on each of those little lids without searching.  I can read them fine, but why search when you can use a label maker and make them bigger, right?  You can see I wrote it on with a black Sharpie, but it looked horrible, so I labeled instead, so much nicer.  

Now... for something really different!

Phoenix Arizona had SNOW - okay, some people are calling it Graupel also known as "soft hail" - but it looks enough like snow to us.  

This first picture is from 3rd Street and Osborn which is just down the road from us (I'm at 32nd Street). 

I'm not sure where this is in the Phoenix area, but isn't it beautiful?

This snowman is even closer to my house than the one on 3rd and Osborn.  It's at 44th and Thomas!  Hubby said we didn't have any, but I think he just didn't look outside when it was happening.  LOL 

This is Camelback Mountain.  If you could see the whole mountain, you'd see that it does look like a camel sitting low on the ground, but from this side you can see the Praying Monk, the bump on the far left as you look at the picture.  I can see this mountain from my house, so once again, snow near us, but no one at home saw it.  *sigh*.

Well, that's the excitement around here for Wednesday.  Beautiful pictures you can see on several websites, but you can see some great ones on ABC15 if you want to look at more.  I know the snowbirds looking in won't want to see them, but it is fun to see snow on a saguaro cactus!  

Happy Thursday!

DSP Storage

I've been storing my DSP in this great little rolling drawer cart for a while but always delayed putting the papers away after using them because I would work on several projects and didn't feel like trying to figure out where to put them back.  SOOOO this weekend as I was organizing a bit and a brilliant idea came to me!

Using a 1 1/4" square punch, I punched one square from each piece of DSP.  Then cut diagonally and used my adhesive to attach to the front of the drawer.  Being a plastic drawer, the adhesive will stick well, but is still easily removed for when the next round of beautiful papers are released.

Now when I have just a little swatch left, I can easily see where it goes and not let them pile up.  I hope I'm not the only one that isn't good at putting stuff away right after working with it!  Ha!!

Thanks for peeking in.  Hope you have a wonderful day!
