Storage Solution - Blendabilities

Hi!
Just a quick little post to show you how I am storing my Blendabilities Markers for the mean time! Since spending my fun money on my cutting station, I was not able to afford a unit from Stamp-n-Storage right now so I was on a quest to find an alternative solution that would fit the function!  After some internet searching and a quick dive into Amazon ... here we are!

This is the SPECTRUM NOIR black storage trays designed for 5/8" markers.
I bought the box set, which included 6, black plastic, single stackable trays
Notice the top two rows are stacked straight on top of each other, which creates even rows
that still allow the tip of the marker to be easily accessed to be removed from the tray
The trays hold 12 markers each and lay horizontal and then they stack up vertically.
 
close up of the box, FIND IT on AMAZON.com
The link I used with my Prime Acct was ~$24 including tax and 2-day free shipping
Thanks and let me know how you are storing your Blendabilities -- FLAT -- is the key word!  I think I will be coloring more with having them handy dandy organized and ready to use!

Happy Stamping!

New Cutting Station, I'm in Love!

Hi!

Well it was a busy weekend and I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that was able to stop by and say hello at the Open House!  I'll be sharing the other display items on upcoming days here, so stay tuned.  Some you've seen but there are more to post!
After the Open House, I had a design day with my downline Diana and we worked on our make-n-take projects for our upcoming Spring Fling all day stamping event (live in Phoenix-Tempe-Mesa-Chandler AZ area?  join us!).  We have such a great time together both personally and professionally. We did a little bit of fun and grabbed dinner at the awesome PERFECT PEAR BISTRO - yum!  Then it was back to my house and we worked until probably 2 am or later!  And she stayed the night in the guest room and we worked pretty much all day Sunday until dinner time too!  We are pretty much ready to roll and placing our final orders as registration comes to a close.

And then this happened!!  I was home preparing for my Tues Class and then all of a sudden one of my Vintage Creative Recycle-Renew gals posted a picture and my day suddenly changed!  I arranged to go pick up the perfect piece of furniture that I have been searching for - literally for several months!  What I had been using just didn't work and was causing my back to ache so frequently.  But I had pretty specific needs and height and width and depth requirements ... hence the long time waiting to find the right piece.  And please if I find the right piece, please be the right color.  Oh and for the right price. ... so interrupt my day and evening in order to pick up this beauty!! Get it home and get things switched in and out because after all I do have a class on Tuesday!!

My Cutting Station, perfect height and perfect size even
just enough room for my favorite garbage can on wheels!

Even put a few decorative items up on the walls that had been
just begging for a more permanent spot to call home!

Top drawer holds my cutter blade/handle refills, Canon Selphy Printer,
Stampin' Scrubs and Pop Up Trash Cans
The bottom drawer holds my 2nd big shot and my 4 boutique
embossing machines, and there's a tad bit of room to spare!
 
The left cupboard holds my Embossing Heat Gun & Stand, Embossing Powders
on K-cup spinner and my Stampin Up paper trimmers, Score Board and Inserts
The right cupboard holds supplies for class (project bins) and grid sheets
and since the picture I have placed 2 large stackables in the open space that hold
TIEF (textured Impressions Embossing Folders) and my Framelits Dies too!

And to Robin and those stopping by for the Creative Blog Hop, I will do that in a day or so!  Check back okay!!

That's all folks!
Rhonda
