Copic Markers Storage - Take 2 (pictures added)

When I posted my Copic Marker storage last night some of my viewers were unable to see the pictures in the post (sorry) -- so I am posting the pictures again so {hopefully} everyone can see.  

If you still can't see the pictures below let me know and I'll send them to you.  :)

CJToo's Copic Marker Storage

As my Copic Marker collection grows I really needed to find a way different way to store them.  I prefer to lay them flat so I can visually see the color top and number - but I don't think storing them up or down is an issue (for marker life span).  Anyhoo's…. I've seen several bins that can be a little pricey and since I don't have a humungous selection (I have 39 and there are 345 colors) I was looking for something cheap.  Well, by golly I think I found it.  I was shopping at Office Depot the other day to pick up a few things and was browsing their clearance section (CJToo LOVES a bargain) -- anyhoo's I spotted these little boxes/pen holders on clearance for .97 and thought -- that would work for my Copic markers.  SCORE!  


Here are some pictures to share how I positioned the boxes and how I use them in my work area.  I hope it gives you some inspiration for your marker collection.

Cricut Cartridge Storage Solutions for Transporting - Video #31

Hi everyone, Happy Friday and remembering those who died in the 9/11 - 8 years ago today. God Bless each and everyone one of us who was touch in anyway by this tragic event in our history.

Anyhoo's - I am off work today; took the day off to get ready for a Cricut Swarm tomorrow, Saturday 9/12. It's coordinated by Lori AKA TheCricutLady over at www.cricut.com/community. she's done a magnificent job of coordinating the event and keeping us updated on the Cricut Community Message Board.

As I am gathering my supplies to take with me to the Cricut Swarm I thought I'd post a real quick video to show you how I packed up my Cricut cartridges, handbooks and keypad overlays.

I apologize for the movement - I am holding my video by hand.......

Hope it helps someone....

xoxo,
Tracy

Craft Junkie Too's Gift Bag Storage Space

I hope you don't mind 2 posts in one night.....Ü

Here are just a few of my storage ideas that work for me. I am true to my name.....no matter how much I try to organize my things - it's a craft room and as my little sign on my wall says
"I'm Crafty...You can't expect me to be neat too!" HA!

Anyhoo's - I am fortunate to have a craft room and I will take pictures of it for you one day too - but like my husband says - If I give you an inch you take a mile...meaning that if there is space available I figure out how to use it to benefit me. I purchased the over the door wire shoe rack from Wal-Mart and this is what I use to hang my gift bags on. I know it doesn't look very (from the picture).... organized - but I promise it is. I have my solid bag colors together and my themed/holiday bags. Christmas bags are in a whole tub all by themselves under my bed. For birthdays and other special occassions I love brown kraft and white bags as well as gingham so I use lots of those. Behind the rack I have another over the door plastic shoe rack (I picked it up for 5 bucks at Wal-Greens) and this is what I use to put my tissue paper in. Each pocket stores one or several packs of tissue and I can see at a glance what I want to use. Anyhoo's - these first few pictures are ones of my gift bag and tissue storage unit. I hope that it gives someone else ideas who may be limited on space. Check back soon as I will be posting more pictures of my storage space and craft room including my ribbon & paint storage racks. Sometimes when you have oranges - you make orange juice and I just love my crafting space. Ü
