Just a small post to let you all know that I am celebrating today. After having a backlog of more than 700 posts to read in my RSS Reader, I got caught up today!! That might be the reason you have not seen me posting cards. I also got the chance to do a little blog beautification – like adding a seach box and economizing some stuff on my sidebars. I know, TMI…..time to stop running around in circles :96 …..I’ll be back with cards soon.
 SHAREthis TWEETTHIS EMAILthis Real life strikes again! I really wanted to make some cards but time just did not allow. Several evenings ago I did get to sit down and nothing seemed to come out right. I’m working on a simple card that I’ll post tomorrow from one of my new, never used, Close To My Heart sets. I hope you’ll come back for a peek. You live this day but once…..make it amazing!

Hi all, I received a couple of questions through email and comments on the ribbon storage. Rather than send the answers by email, I decided to post it here in case anyone else was curious. Size of the Drawers: The drawers are designed to hold 12 x 12 paper so the dimensions are just a little bit larger. The unit of three drawers can be purchased at Walmart for about $10.00. They also sell drawers to hold 8.5 x 11 paper, so the one is used is the larger of the two. The Dividers: Ok, the dividers almost hold themselves in place and some people could get away with just putting a piece of mat board (12-13”X2”) in without anchoring it. Me? I’m a little bit too anal so what I did was tape the divider down on three sides. It’s not a perfect science and I didn’t try to get to pretty with it because you really never see it, especially if you use clear packing tape. So, what I mean by three sides is if you hold the mat board just like it sits when you are going to put it in the drawer, I taped the front edge on the left and right, the bottom edge on the left and right and the back edge on the left and right. You could probably get away with only taping the bottom edge. Does that make sense? I divided the drawers into four equal sections, so I needed three dividers. Matboard: I purchased full black matboard sheets from Hobby Lobby, they are 32″ x 40″. I have a heavy duty 25″ Carl Cutter that cuts matboard like butter, but believe it or not, my older Fiskars Rotary Cutter for 12X12 paper worked fine as well. It’s a pretty big board, so if you want it cut down to a more manageable size, I think HL will do it for $.50 a cut. Depending on how efficient you are when you cut, you ought to be able to get about 220 – 240 bobbins out of one sheet of matboard. The Rubber Bands: The rubber bands I picked up at Walmart in the hair section. They are really small, about the size of a ring on your finger. The ones I found were black but I understand that they exist in other colors and clear although I’ve never been lucky enough to come upon other cool colors. I hope this helps, but feel free to send me any other questions you have! SHAREthis TWEETTHIS EMAILthis
