Yipppeeeeee!!

Hi all,

Lots to share today! No, I didn't do lot of crafting over the past couple of days.. Yesterday, both my hands were aching so much that I couldn't move them much :-( They're better today..

Now the good things...

I got my first set of Itsy Bitsy goodies today... yay yay! I ordered them over a couple of weeks back, so I am really glad they did come at last. Here's what I got:



They were packaged so well that I hardly had the heart to open the packs (I've been like that since my childhood so the abnormality isn't a ercent development.. I can never open anything that is packaged well.. it almost brings tears to my eyes to see a packet being torn open by anyone)!

I learnt that I should be more careful with my order next time. I ordered one piece that I didn't intend to; some  which looked nice only on screen... anyway, I am happy. I can now get back to crafting mode once again,

The second thing I wanted to share was this:



What is it, did you ask? I have been having trouble organising my craft material of late. Though I keep things sorted and labelled in boxes, there is still a space crunch, which sometimes affects my papers. I am a magazine lover and there's one mag that I've been reading since its first issue in India (it released a few months after I got married)... now, this month's issue had a super duper idea on sorting and storing craft material!! I was so thrilled that I implemented this one rightaway. I used hangers that come with my son's clothes in some stores.. they are tiny and they have clips attached.. perfect for 'hanging' my papers without damaging them!!! I loved the idea!!

Next, I made this quick little note card for my hubby. This is just to say thank you for all giving in to all my demands and getting me whatever I ask for (and you know how the list of craft items is never-ending!)... Thank you Vineet.



I used one Itsy Bitsy flower and that is the only pack I opened today. :-)

Cheers,
Smita

PS: I promise to take out my camera for any more pictures for the blog!! I will not use my mobile phone camera, however powerful it might be!!!

  4. Thanks Spardha... :-) I keep my stickers in transparent plastic boxes as of now... and all other embellishments usually in tin cookie boxes; brushes, pencils etc in tall biscuit tins (you see, I have a 3 year old at home, and these biscuits - Twisters - are his favorites; good for me, i use all the empty tins); you can also get some plastic containers that have tiny compartments- i use those to keep little punched flowers, rhinestones etc..
