A Small Glimpse Into My World

Published by zindorf under Tips

Oh, it’s not fancy, but it’s functional, lol.   This is a glimpse of my desk in my craft room.  I call it the craft room because I have many hobbies.   Can you tell I like to have my coloring tools very, very near me when I’m working.  Prismacolor Pencils on left in a bucket, ink pads straight ahead, markers to the right.

Today I thought I would just show you how I have my Prismacolor markers organized.  I just bought this set off of e-bay for a very good price.  Set of 156 markers for $225.  They didn’t come with the rack to put them in, but that’s ok.  I had my son make me a cubby hole set up, which works wonderfully.

So now I have all of my markers in one place.  Each cubby hole for the Prismacolor markers has a tag at the top telling the number range for the markers in that particular cubby.  Makes finding a marker much easier.

Now, if you know me, you know I’m a visual person.  So I cataloged each marker, so I can quickly find a color.

I just printed out a list of the Prismacolor marker numbers and colored a stripe of that color next to it.

Hope this glimpse didn’t scare anyone.  Like I said, not fancy, but functional!

Hope your day is bright with color.

Woohoo! New Rubber!

Well, I’ve went on a little spending spree as you can see.  One of my favorite new places to shop for rubber is Cornish Heritage Farms, here is the link, if you would like to check it out http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/intro.php?osCsid=dtmnia8l444rr6anm95hm03995

I love realistic stamps and they have them!

Anywhoo, I’ll be spending the morning cataloging my new purchases. 

I keep a large 3″ binder that has page protectors in it and a scanned pic of all my stamps in it.  When I get new Stampin’ Up stamps I scan the sticker sheet before assembling my stamps. 

I keep them organized in the binder by manufacturer.  My Stampin’ Up stamps are alpha order in the binder and the stamps themselves are stored on shelfs in alpa order.

My mind doesn’t do well in an unorganized environment, so I keep my craft room very organized.  I also clean up after each project so I can start anew with a clean slate, so to say.

Have a wonderfully colorful day!
