Seen & Heard. Cricut cartridge storage by Recollections.

There are plenty of good ideas for Cricut cartridge storage out there and they keep coming.  There’s this , and this , and this, and my personal favorite – this.  Here is what I used:

….that is until I went to Michael’s yesterday and saw this at 40% off which made it only $14.99! 

It’s made by Recollections and holds 16 cartridges, but I could only get it to hold 12 overlays and books – which is weird.  You might be able to smush some more in there but I didn’t want to risk it.  It also holds my tools and my color ink marker/pens.  The cartridges tend to fall out once you lift this up, so I did this to help hold them in place. 

Overall, I think it’s a pretty neat system for my on-the-go scrapping!  You can’t beat it for the price.

The beginning.

So it's official.  I have started my first blog.  Who am I you ask?  Well, my name is Christie and I'm a working mother of two beautiful boys, one of which is special needs.  My beautiful 4 year old has a mood disorder, so on the outside he is just like the rest of us, but inside his brain all the wires somehow got a little messed up.  My 8 year old has the biggest heart I've seen in any adult or child. 

I am married to a great guy who always keeps me laughing - even when it seems there's nothing to laugh about.  We just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary (woo hoo!!) and we've been together 20 years....yes, we waited just a wee bit before getting married.

Why did I start this blog?  Well being a crafter, beginner photographer, internet surfer, a working Mom, and a scrapbooker (among other things!) I would love to share some thoughts, helpful hints, ideas, etc. with all of you!  Sometimes I may just share a funny story or something new I discovered that maybe you will like too.


Now that you've stepped into 216 Grant, here's hoping that you'll stay and enjoy yourself.
