It's the start of a new school year and lots of families are busy getting their kids off to school.. I love this time of the year because it's the best time to shop for your craft room.. The back-to-school supplies section has lots of cool things for kids but I take advantage to check out sales for my craft room. :-)
This year, I found a few great items. Staples and Walmart had $2 and $3 deals for back to school.
For $2, I got these great pen holders that you can stick anywhere. I can put these where I need a pen. It's flexible to fit different size pens. I also put one to hold my laptop charger cable off the side of my desk so it's I can reach of the charger easily.
For $2, I also got these great Lock-Ups twist stackable containers in 4 different sizes to meet all your crafting needs. :-) These are designed so that multiples can be connected to create a "tower" of storage. The lids twist and lock each one in place.
For $3, I got a set of mini ClosetMaid Cubeicals. They are usually $7 or more so when I saw these for $3, I had to get one. These mini sizes are great to put near your sewing machine to dump your thread and fabric pieces. I was debating on making my own thread catcher after reading a blog entry from This Mama Makes Stuff but when I saw these mini Cubeicals, I decided, these would be a perfect alternative. I used a potato chip clip to hang it off one of my drawers next to my sewing table. Voila..my very own thread catcher..
Next week will be time for a little Fall cleaning and reorganization of my craft room. Off to planning my room.
Happy Crafting..
