New Storage Cabinet for clam hinge (Stampin' Up-type) boxes

While at The Stamp Scrap Art Tour in Mesquite (January), a woman saw our new Storage Cabinet and suggested that we make one for the clam hinge boxes that Stampin' Up stamps and stamp sets come in. Thank you, Shelly Dolanski! Great idea! Now there is truly a place for everything. We appreciate your idea so much that you will soon (approximately April 25th) receive a thank you package in the mail.

We (shophowdoyouglue.com) have the storage boxes in four sizes and they are beee-you-tiful. They each hold ten boxes so you can just slide out the box that you need. You can stack them or, as Shelley suggested, add a handle to the top. If you do add a handle for easy transporating, you might also want to add a strap to hold the boxes in place during transporation. Of course, I'm sure you could go all out making a really pretty handle and strap.

We expect to ship out orders received for these cabinets on or around April 18th. If you order by April 3rd, you will get $5 off of each cabinet.

This month has been a little crazy so far - - lots of projects going on!

We are trying to get our house ready to sell, so we have been busy trying to apply everything we have learned from all the HGTV that we watch. With each improvement we make, I begin to rethink moving. Our house, which we have lived in for almost 9.5 years was a very basic house when we moved in -- even to the point that none of the windows have window sills or trim. We have made improvements over the years --mostly flooring, lighting, and landscaping. This week we are working on window sills and window trim for our windows. We have started with four windows downstairs that are along one wall that encompass the kitchen, a breakfast area, and a family room. Now that I am a blogger, I actually remembered to take a "before" picture (after one of the windows was mostly complete so I didn't get a "before" of that one) and will also take "after" pictures to show you the result. While I do not really enjoy painting all of that trim, I think I am going to love the result.

And then there's the yardwork... lots of weeding and planting going on.

So, thank you again for reading my blog (all four of you). I can't tell you how happy and excited I was to get comments on my last post. Happy Spring!
