WOYWW #176: Somebody Else!

It's really still Wednesday, I promise. I must be quick, it's off to dinner with me.

Here's the table this evening; I've just finished making a bookmark. A... birthday celebration bookmark? I dunno, I wanted to use those colors and the birthday stamps seemed to go with them.

I mentioned my storage on Saturday. My accumulation of papercrafting stuff is new and recent, and my stash is small. I keep it in these lovely stacking bins, obsessively labeled with blue painter's tape. Love that stuff.

What's that on my worktable? SOMEONE ELSE! My boyfriend fixed our friend's sewing machine (actually it just needed the right size bobbin; he used his internet research skills rather than his mechanical repair skills), and printed off a copy of the manual since she didn't have one. "I have several sets of sewing-y stamps!" said I, and stoutly refused to do anything with them myself. He gave in to the inevitable and stamped a bit on the back cover, hurrah! COME TO THE INKY SIDE.

  1. Haha! Just be careful...I've seen on other blogs where men got so involved in the inks they practically took over the craft room! lol I love your storage containers. And your labelling! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. :) Stay tuned and I'm sure to have a card or two soon using the new stamp-a-ma-jiggy thingy from Inkadinkadoo up on the blog soon. :)

    Love the storage....I'm a big fan of plastic, too....cheap, stackable and easy to see inside :)

  5. I love your sorted and organised storage. Love that you have unused stash for any occasion already. I love that you share. But most, I love that he actually conceded! It must be love!!

  7. Good for you, and for him. And if he gets the bug, make him buy his own stash and then you can both share!

    Thank you so much for stopping by. I did think my wordy art might be unique, but it's good to hear it from someone else.

    Happy WOYWW.
    cheers, rachel #64

  8. Looks like a lot of stash to me! I wish my stuff was labeled. No wait, it would need to be organized for that, huh? ;D The comment you left for me has lead me to believe that I love your shopping math!

  12. You'd better watch out, you'll get him hooked on your inks and they'll be lost to you forever.
    I love all your beautifully organised storage.
    Happy WOYWW
