A Bit of Class Organization

 I've been in need of this for a long, long time.  I needed some 'tools' to make my classes and events more efficient.  I set out in search of someone who could customize exactly what I needed. I found him and he delivered!   
 
 
My table is big.  From any chair you can't reach the center. It was becoming more and more frustrating as my customers reached for products in the middle of the table.  I had searched for Lazy Susan's but they were all too small. I was searching for wooden trays on Etsy when I came across the Splinter Bin and Scott mentioned he does custom work.  
 
 
He built me a huge Lazy Susan and it works perfectly for classes! 
 
 
He also has on his site these beautiful decorative stove covers.  My stove has the controls on top and they are higher than the burners, so if I placed one of those on my stove the gas would be on and that's not good!

 
We all need more counter space, right?  So I had him custom build me a cover that was upside down and to my exact stove specifications.  Boom!  The perfect Big Shot station and now I still have my counters for other stuff. 

 
It fits like a glove and clears the oven controls perfectly.  I thought being that is has 3 sides it might rock forward...nope, steady as can be!  It weighs a ton and is a solid beautiful addition to my class organization.  

 
It has handles on the sides for easy positioning and removing.  I stuff it under the guest bed when I don't have classes or events. 
 I ordered a huge tray also with the intention of putting my coffee pots on them, but I'm thinking now I may use it somewhere else.  The best part is all three pieces are stained, painted and finished to match identically!  They're beautiful and I could not be happier!  Thank you Scott!!

Balloon Adventures Ensemble

Things are starting to get a little crazy around here as preparations for Inking Idaho on the Road are well underway.  Last week, 1088 individual packets got finished, prize patrol prizes were decorated and display items from my team are starting to arrive. 
This year is bigger and better than last year as we try to improve on each aspect of the show.  We cannot wait for the day to come and our guests to arrive!! 
 
 
Therefore, the blogging has been a bit off schedule. I will make up for it today with part of a fabulous project I've been working on for the event.

 
This ensemble is made with the Balloon Adventures stamp set and the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies.
The cardstock colors are Watermelon Wonder, Peakaboo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso, Whisper White and Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper.

 
Here it is with the card on the right open to reveal the shadowbox inside.
 
 
It all started with this card that I made for a workshop.  I love these colors together!

 
This card idea came from Dawn Griffith.  When I saw it on Pinterest, I knew it would be the perfect addition to the project.


 
This gift box is from an idea by Kelly Acheson and is so sweet and easy peasy!
 
 
The box idea is from Michele Miller and I apologize I don't have a link for her.  She shared the idea in a Facebook Group and it is brilliant!  My downline Sheryl helped me simplify it for a class I was holding.  Where would we be without friends and inspiration,  thank you ladies!
