Problem Solved......

Curious to see what the problem was and how I solved it?
When Stampin' Up! released the NEW Blendabilities Markers on May 1st, I couldn't wait to get the sets that are available now for demonstrators.  So when my order arrived, I took the markers out of the box and up to my studio.  Everything in my studio has a place and is neatly organized. Here was the problem....the NEW Blendabilities did not fit into the current marker box. As with our other markers, these also need to lay on their side.  So today I set out to find a storage solution that would fit in with the other storage decor in my studio.
 VOILA!!! The Perfect Marker Storage Station.

Each tall rectangular space will hold 5 sets of 3 markers

 

Narrow shelves hold 3 sets of markers and Color Lifter

I placed the Many Marvelous Marker Set on top of the cube

Here is the packaging from the mini cube a.k.a.- Marker Storage Solution, I purchased at Michaels.

Thank for stopping by today, leave a comment I love to hear from you.
Live, Laugh, Laugh and STAMP!

From Messy to...Clean!

Happy Sunday!
Today starts 7 days of dance recital week for me & my family. My daughter has been dancing since she was 4 and she is now 16! The one week in June when I am completely focused on the dance recital has now arrived. I am one of the many staff members at the dance studio which has about 1000 dancers. There are 3 casts, each with a technical rehearsal, dress rehearsal and 2 performances. My daughter also teaches 5 classes and has her own dances in tap, jazz and ballet on pointe that she will perform as well. I run the backstage area where all the dancers are pulled from their dressing rooms and lined up prior to going on stage.

Yesterday, in preparation for the busy week ahead, I cleared my stamping desk in my craft room from all the creative mess I had made while designing and stamping convention swaps. Here is the messy desk photo (I can't believe I am showing you this):














And here it is after I cleared and put away the ink pads, put the stamps back in the cases, punches in the bins and markers in the drawer:














Now that it is clean, I want to STAMP...oh yeah, I have to go work the dance recital.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!
