Advance on Wednesday

Hello my WOYWW friends.  I posted this a few days ago because I just couldn't wait until Wednesday to show and tell about new storage products. I had an idea to get one of those over the door shoe bags; I was pretty sure Target would carry it, and they did!   I stuffed in my growing assortment of fabric scraps, small pieces of purchased yardage, vintage hankies, etc.  Now, the door will no longer completely close due to the hooks over the door frame, but that's OK for my room. 
 
In Target's new Threshold line, there is also this portable shelf that hooks over a closet rod.  It happens that in my attic work space there is a closet pole, presumably to use for storing winter clothing.   Voila, another storage solution.  Both of these closet organizers were inexpensive and decent quality.  Maybe these can work for you, too. 
 
Now that my space is feeling, well, spacious! I'm motivated to do a little crafting.  These Dylusions stamps are still at the forefront of my inspiration.  I thought this bon mot would suit a high school senior who has been named a 2103 Student of Distinction.  She has overcome adversity in her young life and is now focused on helping others in a very real way.  I don't know her, but I was impressed and moved by her story.  And I want her to know that she has touched one more life. 
I'm having so much fun with this stamp I can't stop!!!!  Here is a bookmark for my best buddy at senior exercise class.  She is a dynamo so the idea of her sitting around all day is a joke.  If you want to have a good chuckle, check out the fun at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/

be warned i started with those over the door storage units many years ago and it spread to the close, the spare room, the exercise room, several cut backs and clear outs and finally to my current "studio". Rather a posh title for my room
have fun in all your space and enjoy the stamping

Such great storage, you can never have enough! My hubby's office was tossing out old patent file cabinets with 36 draws. He swiped them up for my stamps. I love Dylusions stamps, they always make me smile and laugh. I use them often for my girlfriends. Great tag and card. I am sure they brought smiles! Winnie#75

I use my target over the door shoe hanger over a window for punches. (Not a view I especially care for) So handy! (And I have way more punches than pairs of shoes lol). #152

Great idea to use the over the door shoe holder! I can see they have great potential for storage! Too bad my craft area is open to the living room and doesn't have any doors or rods.
