You doubled my "membership", lol!<br />The stash - on the left are wooden items (so hot right now - I like them so much I have trouble using them, lol) on top of a vintage stamp set & bin of small alpha stamps.<br />Middle stacked tin has paint daubers, liquid adhesives, mists, etc.<br />That windowbox on the right - I could not resist buying it at TJMaxx as it has a great distressed paint finish on it in a really glorious green color - has some masks & stamps plus a pile of journaling cards. My inking mat is in there, too.<br />I am such a visual scrapper that if it is in sight I will more likely use it, so I am trying to organize with that in mind. More to come!LCSmithSAVEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015859688733934944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526541102493733041.post-25116604998462723512012-08-21T19:51:44.549-04:002012-08-21T19:51:44.549-04:00Aunie is my 90 year old maiden aunt who lives with...Aunie is my 90 year old maiden aunt who lives with us. She had a stroke a few months ago & is now bedridden, but she led a really interesting life. She is a retired congressional secretary and was in Washington DC during many years of historical events. I have her letters & they are very engaging & informative - maybe a book someday! The portrait was done by a neighbor in her apartment house in DC who wanted the practice. She was & is a lovely woman :~)<br />I have seen those BG papers - they really are beautiful in their own right & might be fun!

Apparently a woman downstairs asked to paint her portrait as practice! I can remember those drapes being in that apartment - very luxurious patterned silk drapes - why didn't I claim those when she moved to Florida? She is & always was a lovely woman - it is hard to see her so debilitated.LCSmithSAVEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015859688733934944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526541102493733041.post-77691726883907828722012-08-20T23:09:13.355-04:002012-08-20T23:09:13.355-04:00Greeting Leslie, You have just been awarded the Le...Greeting Leslie, You have just been awarded the Leibster Blog award here:<br /><br />http://sherriesmuddlepuddle.blogspot.ca/2012/08/a-first-for-me.html<br /><br />Wall looks great but you know what captures my eye is the basket of stash on the desk. hmmm...now what have we here?Sassy Breesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499730848878614492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526541102493733041.post-85148285855618759342012-08-19T08:45:19.148-04:002012-08-19T08:45:19.148-04:00Wow, this looks great.

Maybe you could make a sampler in one of the empty frames where you pin up fabric swatches and pretty trim and buttons. Basic Grey has lots of the bases you could use for inspiration for possible arrangements.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769556455551856486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526541102493733041.post-8222491699437369832012-08-19T00:16:26.054-04:002012-08-19T00:16:26.054-04:00oh...it looks delightful!

You could do a piece of sheet metal for a magnet board or make a french memo board type thing...maybe your remaining frames aren't large enough for that. Or it all else fails...a photo of me! LOL!!! It's coming along. YAY!sassyscrapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669966548490700380noreply@blogger.com
