WOYWW



Its Wednesday again!!! where did that week go? On my desk today you can see the halloween swaps I am working on, pumpkins bats and spiders!!!!!!!!.
Behind ( and further photo ) is my latest storage solution  ( I will get this craft room tidy- honest) This is an idea from Eunice on the joanna sheen forum so thanks Eunice .   Its an old cd rack with cd boxes in every other slot and the pens sit on the boxes It will take the whole of the current colour set minus the greys, I did not think it was worth getting a bigger stand.  I sliced up an old colour chart and stuck onto the edge of the cd cases then  coloured 8mm sticky labels with the correct colour and stuck on the flat end of each promarker.  Its so much neater and I can see the colour I want at a glance 
Thanks for visiting, please leave me a message so I know I am not talking to myself ( mind you I often do talk to myself)
Well now I will wander off to check out the rest of the WOYWW starting with 
 Julia here

    Clever organisation idea... I don't really have pens, but I'm sure I could adapt it for another use! Happy WOYWW!
