Saphira's stamps idea


While it is not the new, it is alway good to refresh an idea that has previously been done, specially with some alterations. I really recommend visiting Saphira's (aka Liane from Munich) entry to see the step by step process.

A non storage post, but crafty non the less


So, one of my UK crafty friends, Kirsty Wiseman, is organizing this amazing crafty raffle to save the life of a dog that belongs to another crafty friend of ours. 
Huge crafty Raffle - Saving DaisyThis is a raffle so huge, that by the time I have collated all the prizes, you need never buy a single craft item ever again, well....barely! Tell your friends, tell your family, raid the kids money box.......please, please find it in your hearts (and paypalaccounts) to help raise money for Daisy Dog.
As a animal lover myself, I ask you to please go to Kirsty's blog and make a donation so that you can save a dog's life and maybe win some craft goodies!

Sharon's basement workshop!



I will let Sharon explain: 
It has evolved over the past 8 years going from an unfinished part of the basement.  As a Christmas gift my husband built this room with recessed lights, built in shelves, tile flooring and a window to look into the other side of the basement where we set up a playroom for the kids.  Now the kids are teens with my 16 yr old son's bedroom is next to my workshop, so I am not allowed to open the shades. :o)I just finished the most recent Purging, Organizing, Storing set up last month.  I love my room now.  Everything I used on a daily basis is within arm's reach.  I would live here if I could.

Susan's custom crafting table

The table is at the heart of any craft room, and many of us have spent days, months, or even years searching for the perfect one. Susan over at Cards, Quilts, and Kittys took matters into her own hands - and came up with a custom table that suits her needs perfectly!

There are many more great elements to Susan's craft room. Here's a photo of the entire room:

One of my favourite pieces is the antique dental cabinet (on the far left) that houses her wood-mounted stamps. When she purchased it from an antiques market, it was LIME green!
Cruise on over to Susan' blog and see even more photos: Cards, Quilts and Kittys. Be sure to tell her Crafty Storage sent you!

Sharon's Promarker storage


I will let Sharon do the talking:
I finally have my custom made Promarker storage unit, and I'm really pleased with it. We're just getting a small initial order made up first, until we see how much interest there is, but I know that lots of the ladies that come to my classes will want one as we use Promarkers in the class a lot. 
If this is successful then I have plans to get him designing storage for lots of other crafty products!
You can find more info on Sharon's blog here.
