IN THIS POST: —5th Friday — studios — organization — craft rooms — (Topics marked with an asterisk* are discussed in the Comments Section below).
Just to keep everyone on their toes, this time we’re flipping the Sept. 5th Friday to the beginning of the month instead of at the end.
What’s that…? You’re new around here and you don’t know what the heck a 5th Friday is? No worries… just watch the video below, and all will become crystal clear.
Also in the video (since so many of you asked), I’ll share how I go about organizing and keeping track of what’s inside all the little storage drawers that I showed in my first Studio Tour Video.
Plus, there’s a cameo appearance that you won’t want to miss… at about about the 2 minute mark. So go ahead and enjoy this latest episode, in what’s sure to become a “best selling” series… ;-)

Hi Faye, Polyform still makes those old colors but you can only buy them from online dealers that why you saw it at Polymer Clay Express. There are a few others who carry it also.
I was price checking clay and ran across something that might interest you, I recall you stated you were utilizing the last bits of your discontinued Premo! colors and hoped Sculpey would decide to revive some of them. I saw Premo! In old packaging on Polymer Clay Express. One pound beige 5092, 2 ounce 5063 cobalt and 5072 zinc yellow were the only ones i saw, Even the page with the one pound and two ounce option has the picture of the old Premo! Packaging. Who knows, they might have so,eh random bits that were in such low quantity they opted to leave them off the website.
I recently bought three of storage units and they work great. I found the first one at a K-Mart Store. Local stores stopped carrying them so I bought the other 2 at K-Mart internet site. Shipping to the closest store is free or if you purchase $50.00 shipping if free . They were $19.00. Today I saw them at the Northern Tool Store on sale for $15.99.
Hello Cindy and everyone =)
I again want to thank everyone for your helpful comments…I am not great on computers sometimes and don’t daily access a computer so I just want to let everybody know how greatly I appreciate all they advise and support! I have now become a member and am really excited! Hopefully by summer I will be able to purchase a D.R.E.A.M. machine, and on a side note for anyone in the US looking for the great stack on cabinets I found them at a company called “Rural King” for $19.00 (I was SO EXCITED) this is a store for horse and farmers for those who aren’t familiar hopefully this will be useful information for anyone still searching. Also Cindy, I am not sure how to put a picture up next to my name in the message area as I would like to add a picture of my DD & her horse… Have a terrible cold as we have nasty cold and snowy weather, so staying in and trying to rest and get over it. Hoping all of you are having a safe & happy Claying Time! =)
DebyP: Just click on https://en.gravatar.com and the site will set you up. That is a great idea, to save up towards a D.R.E.A.M. Machine! I keep going to their website to drool! LOL
Hello Monique ~ Thank you so much it worked!! I was able to install a picture of a few of my favorite things, like feathers, flowers and sea shells…Thank You So Much! =) Hope everyone has a blessed and safe weeked ~ we are having a Huge Snowstorm!! Blessings to All! Deby P
Cindy, I look forward to your videos every week and I have learned so much from you. This past year has been a very bad one for me due to heart and heart issues. I am determined to make it a better year this year despite those issues. I loved seeing your studio and I must get my studio back in order which is a challenge because I do so many different types of crafts from cards to children’s clothing.
One thing I haven’t seem from you or you may have shown it and I missed it is where you see your jewelry, do you have a store on ETSY or ARTFIRE. I would love to see your store setup and have some hints on pricing.
Thank you so much for all you do.
LindaKay of Vineyard Creations
Hi LindaKay, thank you for your comment! The best answer to your question was addressed in my most recent gallery post: Gemstone and Polymer Aurora Borealis Necklace.
Hope that helps!
It’s always a good time to get organized! Storage cabinets similar to Cindy’s are on special this week @ Canadian Tire. They are a little smaller, but I like them because there are a couple of larger drawers at the bottom (good for extruders, bead rollers, cutters, texture plates, etc.) Just ask “Santa” for more than one LOL. Also picked up the Mastercraft (store brand) rotary tool kit @70% off. We have been pleased with the quality of their brands in the past. Merry Christmas everyone!
I have changed my craft room around so many times that I cannot find anything anymore. We will be moving in June/July next year and I WILL have a room for my crafts again and I WILL set it up like yours. Finally something that will work for me and is in my budget. I cannot wait. In the mean time, I am getting the drawers and filling them. I will be able to get rid of so many other containers that are all different shapes and sizes and my room will look a lot neater and cleaner. What a fantastic idea. Thanks Cindy. As usuall, I am very impressed. I truley feel sorry for anyone that does not have your tutorials. They have been so helpful to me. Anyone that likes polymer clay and does not have you, well…..I just feel bad for them. They do not know what they are missing. I, for one, am so glad I found you!! Have a happy day!
Wow Klay Kisses, it is so nice to hear from you! It has been awhile! Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot coming from someone who has been with us for so long. I am so glad that you are enjoying and getting great value from the tutorials. It isn’t always easy to come up with new projects and techniques week after week, but it is a pleasure knowing that you are learning from them. Thank you for your continued support!
HI Cindy
I just watched your studio tour, showing the use of the storage drawers..AMAZING AMAZING!!!!! I actually have the same drawers in my studio, BUT I didnt know you could store unopened clay in them. I am going to re-organize TODAY :) :) Thanks so much for all your wonderful ideas and tips, tricks and techniques….. I do know MENARDS in St. Croix Falls WI is having a great sale on those exact storage drawers right now October 14,2011……
Again you have been such a great inspiration, I have used a few of your techniques (new to the site) and I cant even get the pieces priced or packaged before my teenage daughter and her friends want the new pieces….. I always know where to look if I cant find a particular item..Ha Ha
Again I cant wait to watch the rest of your videos..I have alot of back issues to watch yet..
Your Site is the best thing since they invented polymer Clay…. I cant tell you enough how much more I have learned, watching you, than I did in the actual class I took and I paid ALOT more..I even showed the instructor your site, She was excited to subscribe also..
K&K Artistic Expressions (KELLI)
Thank you for your sweet words Kelli! It really means a lot to me to hear you say that. How cool you already had these drawers. Have you put your clay into them yet? How’s it working for you?
Hi, Cindy, this is my first post, as I am really new to polymer clay (only discovered it this year!). I love all of your tutorials, although I am usually late in trying them out, as I live in Argentina and i can only get my tools and supplies by ordering them online in the US. Just seeing all your clay together (not to mention those beautifully ordered drawers) made my mouth water!. I would really like to see a tutorial on round bracelets, those with elastic cord running through a hole in the middle.
Thanks for bringing polymer clay techniques so clearly to those of us with no possibilities of taking face to face lessons! Please keep them coming!
Malena
Hi Melina, welcome! It is wonderful to have you here, all the way from Argentina! Thank you for your comment and the tutorial suggestion. I’ll put it on the list and see what I can come up with.
You really have pinpointed an important aspect to our virtual classroom teaching concept. The Internet has now made it possible for people like you who may live in rural areas or foreign countries that don’t have access to live events. It has become a global learning environment, instead of just a local one. There is so much we can learn from one another. I am so glad to have you as part of our clay family!
Hi Malena, Welcome to the group. We have all learned so much from Cindy and each other. It is a fun gathering from around the world.
I would also like a ‘Cindy take’ on using the elastic for beading. I can’t get the elastic to not show or it comes undone.
Andrea
Pollyanna, Tie your stretch cord with a surgeon’s knot, put a drop of GS Hypo glue on the knot (it will actually melt the knot into itself), cut off the ends, tuck the knot inside a bead.
Thanks, Linda, I’ll try the glue next time. don’t know why I didn’t think of that.
He-e-ey did I do good or what! (patting myself on the back) I couldn’t believe it when my photo showed up in front of all my comments! Your new picture is just adorable too Cindy. I love the little purse video. I hope you come up with more charms in the future. I tried the torn paper bead technique this week and wow, are they really neat. I also did the Crackled Faux Raku and used it with the silver spoon video. Just waiting to get the UV Resin thingy now but it is gonna look gorgeous. Thanks so much for all the help. You are awesome!
Thanks for the help Cindy. I don’t know if I did anything correctly but tried to follow the instructions. I guess we’ll know if we don’t see my picture! LOL
It is wonderful to finally SEE you Dixie! You’re so cute! What a sweet smiling face. You feel like a long time friend!
Hi Dixie, an RSS Feed is a way of subscribing to blogs and reading them all in one place. I use Google Reader and subscribe to all my favorite sites, even this one, and then every morning I go into my reader and see whats new. When you follow tons of blogs, it makes it a lot easier to read the new posts at once rather than going through all your bookmarks.
That picture beside your name is called a Gravatar. I mentioned how to Add a Gravatar Image to Your Comments in a previous thread if you want to go there and learn how. Can’t wait to finally ‘see’ you!
Hi All, Cindy thanks for sending me the link to post on the blog. I knew I had posted before but could not figure out how to do it again. My son travels a lot and he is my computor tutor so when he is gone I bravely go where many have gone before me and it is scary out there. I really enjoy this blog and the community of clay people. It’s really nice how they all help each other out. I noticed on the main page that my son bookmarked for me it says to subscribe to an RSS Feed. Can someone explain what that is? Should I subscribe? I see also some of you have such nice photos. How do you put a photo on the blog? Sorry for so many questions, I’m new here and am struggling with some of it. Thanks for any help. Dixie Ann
Does any one have a good site to look for Rotary Rock Tumblers. I saw the Chicago Electric 3lb Rotary Rock Tumbler on sale at Harbor Freight Tools for $39.99. Has anyone used this one or is there any that most of you would recomment.
Sale ends soon..then it goes up to $49.99
I’d google this manufacturer for forum across the net and comments here, start with the search here which directs you to comments where the item is mentioned. Especially important when you pay good money, and expect the machine to work and be maintained properly when a brand is not the known. I use Lortone, and I forget the name of the vibrater (boy, that sounds bad….). LOL!
Hi Everyone
I called up Stack On and asked them if there products (especially the 60 drawer unit) had any plasticizes in it. They just emailed back that their products DO NOT contain any plasticizes..so they are great for polymer clay…I’m going to check out the KMart by me to see if they carry them.
Also, I called Articusstudiodesign.com and asked them about their Pin Back with Bail if they contained any lead. I did not want to make something that might be given to a child is it had lead. Well, Corrine, the owner , contacted her supplier and she emailed me that there is NO LEAD in the these products.This product makes the pins I make or you make more versatile….can be a pendant or a pin. and they are fairly reasonable in price. She also carries converters that are put on the back of a pin that you have already made and turns it into a pendant….That is so cool. I can add them to the pins already made or sell it as a addition to the pins already made. She was very helpful and a lovely person to talk to. I told her all about Cindy and her tutorials.
Hope this info helps others with their projects
Thank you for passing this info along!
No problem…that’s what this web site is all about…everyone helping each out.
Natalie– thanks for the link to Corrine’s site–must have spent over an hour looking around and browsing–Did you see a search panel there? I’ve saved her site to my favorites bar, she has quite a few tips too– I liked to personal touch she gave her shop :)
Just type in what you are looking for…I think that’s how I found what I was looking for. You could call her up…she is very helpful..she works out of her home. Mention my name.
Hi Cindy and Doug,
Your room is wonderful. The drawers are fantastic. I will look in my area for the same. I have a couple of smaller ones like it we found at WalMart. I noticed Ace has something like it. I have a K-Mart here but do not know if they have them. Will go to the one in another county about 20 miles. They normally have more. If I find any I will let you know. Can’t wait to get my room ready. Keep up the good work and I love your videos every week.
Thank you from all us crafty people.
Jan
Hi Cindy :
I know I dont post often , I do read about everyday and rewatch videos, I am learning so much, each time I watch the vides I pick up on something I missed. I like seeing you in your studio and the storage unites. I looked every where for them online where I found them rather expensive anywhere from 25 dollars to 45 dollars. We have a new K-Mart that opened , my daughter and I went for a visit. Found the storage bin there by Stack-on 60 drawers for 17.95 bought three of them and plan on going back and getting more. I want a wall of these bins like in your video. I Would like to see more of you and your family.
Thank you Barb
In my previous message I forgot to add that the drawers are rated a number 5.
Barb
Cindy,
I did some pendants using Katidids bezels….My clay has not fallen out of the bezels since I put a head pin in them before baking…..my only question is…how I should sand them while they are in the bezel or should I just lightly buff them( my hubby is going to order the buffing part for his dermal so I can use it. I then thought I would just use the Future shine on top until I learn how to use resin..Am I on the right track?
Natalie
Yes!
First off, I love your new hair cut….You are an inspiration to someone like me who needs go get more organized. I remember you once mentioned about using fishing tackle boxes to store polymer clay.. Since I am using the back of my family room as a work area(no wall space–lots of windows) I have been using the fishing tackle boxes to organize my clay and smaller ones for my canes..I make plugs out of the canes so they fit into the small space.
What is the name of the 60 section store units that you use. I might be able to stack in on top of my work table and have my hubby anchor it from the bottom. That’s what he did with my lamp.
Oh you both look so cute in your new photo! The new look is fabs! It’s bright and cheery and so inviting. Okay Cindy, you win…..I’ll be one of “your guys”
cause I’m sure liking all the tutorials. Am still trying to get through all the old ones and find myself waiting for Friday to get here….too! Dixie
LOnggggggggggggg scroll down here BUT it was worth it. GOOD NEWS!!! Stateside – I found something very similar to Cindy’s DRAWERS> STACK-ON Gray Plastic Storage Cabinet /60 drawers. The drawers are polypropylene.! The drawers cost about $27.00 +-, depending on where you buy them. I could not find them local -Tucson Az -. Not at Home, Depot, Lowe’s. Wal-mart, Tru Value or Ace Hardware. SOOOOOOOOOO, they are available on line. Amazon.com.,Northern Tool, Mills Fleet Farm etc. I ordered mine from Fleet Mills for $16.99 plus $9.95 shipping. Grand total $27.94. GOOD LUCK everyone…………;D
Hi Guys!!!!
(Well what else would you say?) Your greetings are just perfect, no need to “update”.
Not sure how I feel about the new look as loved the original but hey (like a pair of new shoes) after wearing them in I’ll get comfortable, but loved the new photo of the pair of you.
First time I’ve had the chance to “get on board” and catch up in a few days.
Thanks Cindy for your kind words and you are so welcome to enter (my world) although at present it is a little chaotic. My poor puppy dog is so confused. I keep baking all this “food” but she doesn’t get to share any of it!! I had a wonderful weekend as DH cooked me some great meals (and washed up afterwards) Don’t you just love em?
I, meanwhile, made plates of sandwhiches, sausage rolls, waffles, pumpkin pies, pork pies, cinnamon rolls, cornish pasties and croissants. All 1/12 size and very tasty and smelling good as used allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon.
I promised DH he could have the “real thing” once I have done the first craft show in three weeks time. He said he was not sure he could wait that long, but he IS supposed to be on a diet, Might make him a big gooey chocolate cake. Have a great “healthy” recipe using yogurt so think he deserves it.
Well it,s 5 am here in UK so had better get a few hours shut-eye.!! Have the next couple of days off to play with clay. Been reading all your great tips Cindy, (so helpful.) Although I have done any number of craft fairs in the past this will be my first one using polymer clay and not a single item of jewelry, but have sneaked in plenty of “Cindy” beads, well youv’e just gotta aint ya? Night all xx
I love the new picture of you and Doug and lay out of your site. I like it when you say “Hi Guys” because i say that all the time-male or female, guessing you do the same.
It seems our house is always in the process of some re-molishing project, I’ve been going with my husband on his supply runs. So, I have had the opportunity to sneak around Menards (like Home Depot ), Northern Tool, Harbor Freight and Ace Hardware looking for those cool storage boxes-no luck so far. My studio is once again in the process of being moved and it never seems to recover before I am moving it again.
Marion– I have mounted watch gears and parts to clay. You have to anchor them in the clay with a little piece of wire bent into a U shape, work best if you make a little hook on one end so it does not pull out. May want to mount the gear in more than one place, depending on the size. I also put a small amount of liquid Sculpy on the clay under the gear or what ever you are attaching. Another option is to gently push the gears into the clay, after baking pop them off and re-attach with Super Glue. At the International Polymer Clay Retreat, We learned how to use a deep bezel and UV resin with watch parts.
Anna
Hi Cindy and all, well so far I havent seen the #2 video as something is wrong, I am getting buffering and streaming,on all my videos at the moment
I have tried all the usual things to fix, but no luck just yet.
I came here today, and what a lovely surprise I got.
Love your new header, I can even see Doug now with you Cindy, just so nice.
Look after him Cindy, he’s the tops
I’ll get to see your What’s in the Drawers?, but maybe I shouldn’t, as I know I’ll never be as organised as you.
Looks good,
Keep up the good work.
XXXXX
Elizabeth K.
P.S.
I like this concept in the new Comment column,
I can really see what I am doing, maybe no mistakes now,
as long as I proof read properly !!!
How nice to be greeted by both of you, lovely picture. New format looks good also. Way to go Guys!
I love the new look of the site :)
It was nice to meet Doug in the video!
Oh, my goodness! I must have come here in the middle of the update, before everything was complete. This is wonderful!!!!!
Yes, you did. You caught me with only about 10 minutes of work started. Doug and Cindy have been working with me to get it just right for you all. Glad you like it. Enjoy!
What an awesome job “you guys” did!!!!
Thanks for sharing. Clear drawers are the secret. I used to buy opaque large storage boxes. Using smaller storage drawers makes it easier to find. I am always rummaging thru the large boxes trying to find what I want even thought they are labeled. There are just too many boxes. I have so many craft supplies, so I try to keep them in subject areas, i.e. quilting, knitting, sewing, scrapbooking, dollmaking, silk ribbon, and jewelry making. I like them to be at my fingertips, but that is impossible with the amount that I have accrued. I now have a storage shed and am moving boxes out there, but concerned with the temperature/moisture change of my various craft supplies. So many supplies have shelf lives and temperature maximums posing a problem when storing.
It is so refreshing to see a couple work so well together. Keep up the good work.
Ooooh! I love the new look–it’s so much easier to read. Is the Search feature gone for good? How about the list on the right. I always used that so that I could read new comments from where I left off.
One thing I’ve done recently is made sheets of each color of clay, wrapped them in Cling wrap (for ease of removal from the bag) and then popped each into its own labeled ziplock bag. I keep them in one of those plastic salad boxes you get in the supermarket (very handy things). Then when I’m making one of Cindy’s recipes I just cut out however many pieces of clay are needed for each color. (Each sheet is rolled out at the same pasta machine setting)This method has allowed me to do about 50 backlogged recipes in a much shorter period of time (vs. taking out a piece of clay, conditioning it, rolling it out, cutting it out, putting it back into its designated box…) I love looking at the rainbow color chips I have accrued.
I have about 10 Sterlite Clearview 12 x 12 drawers (come 3/set) that I use for my various jewelry findings and clay. When I do sell at my church, I find I actually need access to these things (ie jumprings, earring wires) and so I bring several of those drawers with me. My husband came up with a cool trick – we set them on the display table with the drawers facing me and have them covered up with a tablecloth – this gives height to my displays and allows me access to the stuff I need on my side of the table.
Just watched your tour video. I was wondering if the drawers are made of polypropolene. Being Labor Day weekend it would be nice to organize things!
Also I want to thank you for the free looks at your tutorials. We are so impressed by what you offer and will be officially joining you. I have learned so much and so many of my questions have been answered. I had no idea what could be done with polymer clay. My favorite thing was alway embroidery floss and now this runs a very very close second!
Thanks again
You know Lisa I don’t know for sure what kind of plastic my storage units are made of. I looked everywhere on the packaging so I could pass that on, and it didn’t say. All I know is that they are clay safe.
Thank you for your sweet comments! It is great to have you as part of our clay family and I hope you do join in on the fun of getting the tutorials. I am sure you will love it even more!
Thank you for showing your studio, it was most interesting.I shall have to look and see if I can find any of that awesome storage over here in England
Thanks so much for showing us more of your studio: I love your hundreds of little drawers all neatly arrayed, their contents known to you at a glance. You are some organizer, Cindy! It was most enjoyable meeting your hunky cameraman at last, thank you for introducing us to Doug. What fun it must be there, working together as you do.
I would love a tutorial on how to store wire. When I unwrap smaller gauged wire it pops out into a big ball of mess.
Forgot to add that my Canadian Tire flyer has the Mastercraft – 43 drawer units on sale for $20 until September 8th. It’s a variation of what Cindy has, I bought some yesterday.
Thank you Cindy for taking us on another tour…the drawer mystery is now put to rest. Thanks Doug for making an appearance too – he really does exist!! ;0)…you two are adorable. Wow, a new blog look, looking forward to that too.
You’ve struck the perfect balance in keeping things accessible but out of the way. I’m finding it tricky with all the “bits” from new jewelry findings, beads, supplies, scrap, etc. Because I’m visual I like to see the things in front of me for ideas, inspiration and experimenting with combinations. But things get cluttered pretty quickly. One thing I’m trying (instead of labeling) to help me keep track of items in larger drawers is to place samples of what I’m storing inside, into one of those teeny plastic zip lock bead bags (I keep them after I order, have seen them in $ stores too). Then I tape across the top to the front of the drawer. It’s quick, can be more easily changed if stock shifts and for me it’s slightly more recognizable than a label.
Recently I came across an old dishwasher tray used for holding silverware. It is perfect to hang tools on, to place items inside, and I like the divided sections. I’m sometimes nomadic with where I work too. The tray is great to pop into a bin or bag with other things if I need to tidy up…I’m trying to cut down on the time this takes.
For potential future tutorials, I would love to see anything on these topics:
* faux lampwork
*your take on color transfers and beads made from these
*coiled wirework and/or coiled w.w. beads
*creating our own custom cutter shapes
*your famous pirate cane…arrrhh!
Off topic: Sooo glad to hear those of you within range of tropical storm Irene, are doing OK…safe and sound.
Carolyn, we knew something about your ordeal during the past year, but the recent post sheds a bit more light. It really is a miracle, your story. Hope to see a lot more of you around here and that you fully heal soon!!
Cindy & Doug – thank you so much for MORE INSPIRING IDEAS for an organized artist’s studio. I’m not a professional crafter, not organized as such – so I don’t have anything to positively contribute in this area.
But I am learning so much from you, Cindy (and thanks Doug for excellent film footage) and it amazes me how you can spin out new techniques or your original takes on established technqiues, new color combinations, new styles every week. I am still following your older e-video tutorials and still have to revise the PC basics. Well…TKUVM for inspiring tips and lessons that gives me (and ALL OF US) something to look forward to so much every Friday/weekend :-)
Cindy, your studio is amazing! PLEASE tell me your kitchen and rest of house are not that clean and organized….please!
Also, it was great of Doug to let us meet him….thank you Doug; you do awesome work.
Also wanted to let you know I made the ghost cane from last week; It turned out beautiful; I know I’m not the only one who is inspired by the weekly tutes.
My first show is the 1st of October and I am a wreck! What if nothing sells??!!
Best to you and your family.
Love the video! Organized is one thing I can only aspire to be! A question on your cane bins. From our view it didn’t appear your canes were wrapped . Were they & if so, with what?
Good eye Rachelle! No I did not wrap my canes that were stored in these drawers because the plastic the drawers are made of is clay safe. If you need to wrap your canes, make sure to use a clay safe wrap. I did a video about it some time ago.
Clay Safe Cling Wrap
So nice to see Doug after all these years. I believe that the super organization leads to Cindy’s ability to think clearer and focus on giving us great tutorials. Now if we all had the time and space to accomplish that…sigh maybe when I retire! I would also like a video request for the lampwork style bead. It would be fun to incorporate that into so many of the other projects that we have already learned.
Cindy thanks for sharing with us whats in those drawers, I also have lots and lots of drawers, mine are the larger type but I sure like the neat organized smaller drawers you use and I am thinking when I can I wish to have more of those. I have small and larger ones on the bottoms like those and I have the 5 stack small drawers by Sterlite and the 3 stack ones I stack one on-top of the other so I have 5 on top, 5 on bottom with a shelf in between for support and a space along the lower ones for my organizer boxes like for my canes, beads, findings that I want more organized etc.. certainly have been inspired by your neat studio space. Thanks again. Andrea
Thank you Cindy for the look around your workshop. It is so organized. I love the stacking drawers and I liked the tip about testing your polymer clay with different plastics. Thank you for showing us Doug I was wondering who was filming the tutorials, you are doing a good job Doug. Keep up the good work Cindy it is so much nicer now that we have seen you in person. Thank you so much for all the tutorials, and the wealth of information that you give us.
Grazie Cindy, per la tua condivisione sei un esempio da imitare.
Molto molto bello sei una brava Maestra
un abbraccio
I so needed this video! I’m terrible at organization so with this video I now feel I know what to buy to help me get things better organized. Being organized will help me get more clay time. Thank you for taking the time to give us this great video lesson.
Yay!!!!! we finally got to see what Doug looks like! You two are too cute! Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for sharing you storage secrets with us. I am very impressed with how clean your work surface is….mine rarely looks like that. Perhaps we should all take pics of our work spaces and post them on the FB page….
Yes!! You can definitely post pictures of your own work spaces and post them on our Facebook Gallery Page. Great suggestion!
