Storage

I thought I would share what I finally decided to do with my ever-growing stock of Papertrey Ink dies. This is the one die that was keeping all of my ideas from working:


The Favor It Box 2 die. It's big! I was going to do a plastic recipe box type system but no matter what I did this die would not fit.
So I decided to store all the dies in a drawer, which is situated to the left of my work chair.


 So most of the dies fit in this plastic organizer I got at Storables. The middle section is nice for the longer border dies. And the impression plates fit perfectly into that right lower corner. For that Favor It Box I got a separate square box, which is also good for the Parisian Lace Doily die. I don't mind that there is no top on these since the drawer is usually closed.

And here is how I'm storing my twine:

      I really wanted to do this, to the point that I was actually shopping for some cute vintage candle holders.



               But I don't really want to tie up that much table space so opted to put them on the wall.
                        I bought a $4.00 cafe rod at Lowe's and some sheetrock anchors and hooks.
                     After I took this picture I put a third hook in the middle to get rid of the droop.
When I showed this to my mom she said... "why would anyone need that many spools of twine?"

My answer:

*True Black*Soft Stone*Pure Poppy*Sweet Blush*Berry Sorbet*Spring Moss*Hawaiian Shores*:)

It all looks fantastic! I love the antique jello molds as button holders. I bought some of those a few months ago to use as bath bomb molds but put my Aqua Mist buttons in one. I'm trying to decide which button colors to get next to fill up the other 4!

I saw another idea for the twine on a blog. She bought glass sugar dispensers from Target. Each roll of twine fit perfectly in the dispenser and the string went through the flap to allow easy access.

This is so beautiful. Now, you need to get more supplies to store in a closet that you can actually use, as this is too perfect to touch! Ha ha. It's a perfect example of life as art.

obviously like your website but you have to
check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems
and I find it very troublesome to tell the reality
however I'll surely come back again.

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with?
I'm going to start my own blog soon but I'm having
a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
