i say goodbye ... and you say hello!

jenni bowlin mercantile inks are by far my favorite! the original twelve colors are amazing and i use them all the time. if i had to find one fault it was that there was one color missing ... grey!!! well not anymore!!! jenni bowlin retired and released three new colors this cha. we have to say goodbye to chicken feed, soap powder, and chili powder but ... hello weathervane, speckled egg, and lavender sachet!!! i received my ink pads, paint dabbers, and reinkers in all three new colors today and i cannot wait to start playing with them. to purchase these inks click here!

i say goodbye ...

and you say hello ...

clip it up

hey guys! welcome to my blog (in progress)!!! i am new to blogging so bear with me as i get this up and running. i want to talk about a new storage solution i recently received. i realize i am late to the clip it up party, but boy am i on board. i cannot believe i went so long without one. i have a fairly small craft 'area' in a bedroom so i have to be very clever with storage. i had been storing items in kraft photo boxes which had its advantages (everything was tucked away nicely) but it was difficult to see items. with the clip it up everything is still organized and neat but on display. i rate it a 9/10 only because those little clip buggers get caught up on eachother and i had to spend way too much time messing with them. so if you have not tried the product i say go for it.
