a new use...

...for an old item. Can you guess what this used to be in it's former life?




A spice rack! Now it's full of stamps in my new scrap space.






Here's my mess. I wish it looked neat and pretty, but this is my reality. It's a work in progress. Shelves and table top are from IKEA. The black bar and hanging buckets (from IKEA) are actually designed for kitchen use, but I love 'em in my scrap space. Inspiration came from Emily.

So many of you asked about the cool toy in yeterday's post. It's a Discover Toy called "Tecno." However, it's made by an Italian toy maker called Quercetti. The girls just got it as Christmas time, so it's probably still in their current catalog. I LOVE this toy, and the girls really do too. It even makes 3-D objects. Here's a link to an older post with some more pics of them playing with it.

  21. What an appealing scrapbook spot! My paper scrapbooking area is total chaos! I'm liking digiscrapping so much more because I can keep from creating avalanches with digiscrapping!
