Ready, Set, Scrap!

My scrapbook supplies have been growing, ever so slightly, over the past few years. Winning the Best of British competition last year has made all my storage holders burst at the seams. Yesterday, we were heading down to B&Q in search of a double adaptor for the dishwasher and tumble drier, so I thought I'd check out their tool boxes. They had a great one, a Stanley, with two pull up trays, a slide out area for little bits like screws and nails, and then the big cavity at the bottom, for £22. It was perfect, or so I thought.

I then had a quick look in their plastics section...and look what I found!! It was marked down from £30 to £19, the drawers are exactly 12" wide, they had ONE left and it is mine!!


And the absolute best part? Everything fits in it, and it looks neat standing where previously I had one crate, two pizza boxes, two totes and a pile of stuff.

See? A special drawer for each category.

Stickers, embelishments and rub-ons.

Alphas, letter stickers and monograms.

All my 12"x12" papers and cardstock, just look at how perfect the fit is! (And aren't those felt shapes on top gorgeous? They were part of the BOB prize, the last to arrive...I can't wait for Easter now!)

My tools, pens, scissors and blades, punches and sticky stuff.

And the last drawer with all my big embelishments, flowers, ribbons, brads and eyelets. I just had to phone my mom in SA straight away - I knew she'd understand how I could get excited over a set of plastic drawers! Remember, she's just visited me so she saw the chaos that it used to be!

Anyway, with this post I am also going to try commit to the Two Peas in a Bucket Photo of the Day Challenge (POTD). The idea is to take one photo, every day, for a whole year, sticking as far as possible to a list of themes. Now, I don't think I can handle one a day, so I'm joining the small group who're aiming for one a week, on theme. The first theme was "Ready, Set, Go!" Typically, I'm a week late starting this, so week two should follow very soon...wish me luck!
