- I buy items like small notebooks, scrapbooks, fabrics, small boxes at thrift stores on senior mark down days. Then I rubber stamp, decorate etc. I also rubber stamp in my journal and when making collages.

Office Organizer
- I used empty tp rolls and sturdy empty boxes. I covered them in Contact paper leftover from lining my shelves. I now have a "neat" desk holder for my pens and pencils (in the upright tp roll, in the box) and my address labels and note pads and whatever else fits in the box.
