Some days you just need a little inspiration, today is one of those days and so I wanted to share this image I found with words of wisdom from Walt Disney.


When you need some inspiration, what words of wisdom do you turn to?

I have a new bike, she is called Betty and soon I shall give Betty her own blog post where you can meet her all and see her in all her 'L' plate glory! But for now I wanted to share a bicycle picture I have found and am hoping that we can have something like it in our spare room at home.

I have wanted an inspirational image in the room as we use it as a craft room and also office space, along with where we stick guests when they need a place to sleep. Sadly I fell in love with a Dr Seuss poster but we can not find it in high enough resolution to print, but this one is so pretty!

What do you think? Would it look good in the spare room?

Like many papercrafters I have a lot of rubber stamps - well, stamping and colouring is one of my favourite papercrafting techniques. Not only do I love to buy new stamps but I am also a member of a monthly stamp club and so get a new set through my door every few months. This is wonderful but also means I have to think carefully about storage.

Today I decided that I needed to review my storage and so I got out all of my clear stamps out on to the dining room table (N.B. I also have a box of wooden mounted stamps, a huge box of rubber mounted stamps and then another box of misc. stamps).


I have four of these storage folders by Darice (above) which are actually designed for embossing folders but I like to use them for my stamps. I sorted through the stamps into categories to make storing them easier, for example I have "men", "female", "flowers", "sewing", "gardening" and such like. It took a little while to get them all organised but when I did, I added tags to the folders so when they fit in my stamp cupboard I can easily get out the folder I need to use.

Now all I need to do is organise my other stamps now!
