We make plans ... God laughs.

So the saying goes.  Well, I don't think that God caused a mysterious leak in our roof, which ended up working its way down to the ceiling above the bar in my studio, but that's what happened.  I am sick about it.  I am working slower than ever because of my health issues and was devastated when I realized that some of the projects I had managed to finish were now marked by water spatters as the ceiling dripped down onto the bar.  I'm not down for the count yet, but a break would be nice.

I am planning to go ahead with my Spring Open House Party and my April classes, as scheduled.  I just may not have as many projects up on display.  I think you'll find that I do still have a lot to share and am going ahead with creating more, at least until repairs begin.  When life gives you lemons ... time to just go ahead and keep creating new artistic wonders:)  For today ...  I'm sharing with you some more ways to use our stamp cases.  Enjoy!

These cases are great for containing small embellishments while still keeping them close at hand.  I had room in the Watercolor Pencils case to add an Aqua Painter.

You can choose what to put on each side of your case when you add a custom divider.

Adding a coordinating strip of DSP to your cover design is easy to do and looks great.  Let the DSP be the star:)

The DSP was so pretty on the case above, that I didn't want to cover it up with a single thing.  It looks like Spring!

Wouldn't a set of note cards in a special case like this one make a great gift?

With all my frustrating health issues, I now have to limit the times I work in my studio to shorter times, with rest and/or therapy exercises sprinkled in with them throughout the day.  I've done a little tweaking and reorganizing some of my cabinets, stamp cases, etc.  I want to always know where to find each item without wasting my work times by having to hunt for something.  I hope today's post will inspire you to tweak your work area a bit, too.
