Look what I've got!!!

Hi Girls


Wowww look what arrived in the post for me this morning!! This wonderful marker pen storage unit was made by Steve who is husband of our lovely blogger buddie Vixx...... isn't he clever? They're for sale on her website Vixx Handmade Cards - she very quietly put them on her sidebar the other day - and I happened to notice and ordered one! I can only say it's super-fantastic..... I only emailed her about it last Wednesday - and he made just what I wanted - a 4 cubbie x 3 cubbie unit over the weekend - mailed it to me from Essex on Monday and I have it today! What fabulous service!!

I wanted to share it with you and I know we all struggle for storage units for our luscious pens and this wonderful man is an answer to our prayers! LOL! If you look carefully to the right of the unit, you can see a pink box that contains all my 'uninked' stamps - OMG!

Now this is a set of shelves that my lovely OH made for me last week too! I needed to keep my nesties and unmounted stamps somewhere that wasn't shoved at the back of my desk..... and this is what we came up with between us! So much more space.... I'm getting all excited! And talking of excitement, is it only me that would get excited about these two wooden boxes below that my OH brought home from work the other day (they were going to be thrown out..) - I think he knows me very well now - he saw my eyes light up when he brought them in! I don't know what I'm going to do with them but ooooooooohhhhh aren't they sooooooo useful!


And a bit more excitment.... I managed to do a video this afternoon of the shading I used on the Daisy card..... I was asked a few times on the DC forum how I'd done it - so decided to give a tutorial a go!  Be gentle with me when I upload it as it's my first!

Big Hugs

    OMG you're just like me. When I get something in a nice container, I always keep the container (drives hubby mad, but he now knows that I like a useful storage box and always asks me first before throwing one away!!!) Love the copic holder too, really great idea. Annette xx

    Hi Christine, what fab storage - I could really do with one of those! - it looks great.

    Love the boxes as well, I would be exactly the same - couldn't throw something like that away.

    Looking forward to seeing the video as well.

    Ohhh Steve did an amazing job and I love those crate boxes your other half brought home for you. I'd be using them as ink storage and maybe the other one for sprays and alcohol inks. Cant wait to see your video. Lee x
