Well, after some motivation and inspiration from blogging friends I decided to do a video share. I've always wanted to do videos, just never had the courage. You'd think that since I used to be a teacher talking on camera to others wouldn't be a big deal, but I think it's even harder! I'd pick a room full of teenagers over my peers any day.
The video pretty much speaks for itself. Apologies for the terrible lighting, but there isn't much I can do about it. I tried to wait until there was some sun coming in, but it is the basement so it's pretty limited. I also kind of zip around my Copic area so I hope it doesn't make you dizzy.
As for my stamp storage, I used to have them all in baskets but switched to the binders a few months back. It's easier for me because I actually do a lot of planning and sketching ahead of time. I can bring my binders upstairs and flip through while getting lunch ready/watching a movie/sitting outside etc. I used to bring the baskets up but that was more of a pain for me, plus it was too easy for small hands to pull things out. Downside of the mini-binders is room. They are all currently bulging so I need to get more = takes up more space. If I didn't do so much moving of the stamps I would probably have kept them in the baskets.
As a reminder you can see a video of my old craft room in this post.
So here's my new and improved space. It's not completely finished, but pretty close. I have a little art table and some bins to hang for G so he can craft along with me since he is very into drawing and coloring now. It is also in need of some pictures on the walls.
