Remounting Wood Mounted Stamps

Good Monday Morning Crafters! It looks like things are going to cool off here in the Midwest, at least for a few days:-) Can't wait to get out walking with my baby. Here is a video I did but didn't have time to post it until now. I did forget one important step about baby powder. I didn't re-film but did a quick pop-up through YouTube. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Metal Die Storage Ideas

Yes, I did a new video! It's getting less intimidating. I still don't like being in front of the camera, but I   Love   Love   Love  filming and editing on my Mac! After I submit this comment, I'm heading to the Apple store to get iLife '11. I've been learning about all of the cool things it does. Now, I just need and actor/actress {insert sublimal thought - Mary} to do crafting demos and I'll be a happy mommy:-) Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day:-)

Twine Storage Idea

Good Morning Friends! It's a little overcast and rainy here on this Father's Day. Hopefully we can still grill out. My DH loves his grilled brats:-) I thought I would take a moment to share with you how I store my baker's twine. You might already do this or have another way. If so, feel free to share your twine storage tip:-)

What I did was buy a pack of tags at Office Depot. They come in all sizes. I used to alter them but haven't in awhile so I have quite a few on hand. When I started purchasing bakers twine from The Twinery, it came like this:

I took the label off carefully and adhered it to the bottom of the tag. I then clipped the top "corner" and the side towards the middle (didn't show up in the pic, sorry). I slid one end of the twine in the side slot and wrapped it around the tag until I got to the end. I then slipped the end into the "corner slot so it would come unraveled.

While I was winding the twine it reminded me of all of the DMC cross-stich floss I used to wind and how I need to get working on my baby's announcement! Ugh! I need more hours in a day! Have a wonderful Father's Day. Thanks for stopping by!

I forgot the most important part:-/ I put my twine on an O ring (not sure if that's what they're called). Or you might want to hang them from a dowel rod.

Don't Look! Another embarrassing picture;-)

I'm only doing this for the upload on Creations with Christina's blog to show her my punch storage. So don't look unless you're Christina;-) Just kiddin' {snicker, snicker}! 

These pics show too much of my messy room. It probably won't get cleaned up until school starts again and my job as cruise director ends for the year.

I'm with Christina, I love my $1.99 Ikea rails. I wish I could find something better for my punches that don't have those nice squeeze handles. I know some people have "printer boxes" but I just don't have the wall space. I had the builder carve out as much space over one of the garages as he could. My wall only goes up about 3 feet or so and then angles. I am sooooo looking for a good idea, too:-) Thanks for stopping by even though I'm totally embarrassed, again. Have a creative day!

Storage Ideas for Clear Mounted Stamp Sets

Happy Monday crafting friends! Well, it took me awhile to get this short video done but I think I've figured it out. It looked okay on imovie but not sure what will happen once it's on Youtube. Let me know what you think. I need to "perfect" my filming techniques so I'm ready to help my friend when she debuts her new stamp line:-)
