"TIPS" Thursday

A day late again...I tell you, the weeks have been flying by me. Everytime I think I'm a step ahead I realize I am actually 2 steps behind. I think it's the whole beginning of baseball season. My 11 y/o, Alex, is on 2 baseball teams this season. One is the regular in-house little league team and the other is a travel time. So usually 4 days out of the week we are transporting him to batting practice, pitching practice, and regular old practice. I guess I should get use to it since it doesn't seem like he is going to stop playing anytime soon.

O.K. enough of my whining, let get to some tips:

  • Keep a Swiffer cloth or lent brush roller near your crafting area. Now you can easily clean up pearl ex, embossing powder and pastels.

I came across this tip on SCS. I don't have many wheels but this is a nice cheep alternative to purchasing the clear storage boxes.

  • Use empty Pringles cans to store your wheels. Take some computer paper (CS is too thick) and then wheel each image on the paper so you know what's inside each can. Adhere the paper to the outside of the can so at a glance you know what's in each can. You can store 7 small wheels and 3 jumbo ones per can. And it was also noted the Crystal Lite containers can be used also.

Now don't forget, if you have a great tip you would like to share for the "TIPS" Thursday post? Then email me at paperexpressions@att.net with your tip and blog address. I'll include you in a "TIPS" for Thursday post with a link to your blog.

Thank you Latoya for your great tips. I use most of them. I so remember going to practices games and the likes form t-ball to high school. Travel with the team and all. Have fun.
