Living and exploring the creative side of life.

I had some extra cheap bookshelves that have adjustable shelving and I thought of something I could use them for, ribbon storage! I have tons of rolls of ribbon that I bought when I was in my crazy sewing stage and they were packed into a trunk so I decided to create a pretty display using the shelves.  I bought some of those small tension rods from the local dollar store and put the spools on the rods and then put them into the bookshelf after taking all the shelves out.  It works perfectly!

I was given this beat up, chewed on, spilled on, stained up, hideously painted little side table and I decided I want to spruce it up so I can use it beside my desk in my studio.  My attention deficit disorder is pushing me to start that before I finish up the piano room but I am resisting the urge…it will have to wait!  but it is going to be fabulous when I get done with it!

I looked and looked for a journal or book that I could use for my email addresses and website addresses but I never found one that I felt would serve the purpose.  So I found a funky journal with lined pages and made my own.  I used the Post-It tabs I found at Staples and wrote each letter of the alphabet on separate tabs and attached them to the edges of every couple of pages.  Then I added a bigger tab for notes near the end of the journal.  Now I have the perfect place to record the information I need for websites and addresses.
