Welcome! I dare say since this is a holiday weekend in the US- it seems to be a bit slower than normal? That might be why you might think you aren't getting as many responses! Welcome to the group- this is a great group! I have learned so much here - and have spent so much money on things I never knew about before LOL! I just bought an eyelet setter kit - one of the last things I have been holding off on for a year now!

As far as organizing -for supplies I have found that if you keep it all in one area within arms reach (if that is possible!) that really helps. I keep all of my adhesives in one plastic container, all of my papers in an accordion file which I organize by color and - oh do this if you don't have a way already - take all of your scraps and put them in file folders (one for each color group) and stick them in your accordion file behind the color of the whole pieces of paper! I keep all of my embellishments together (except the eyelet kit is by itself) in a craft box - it has slots and a tray that you take out of the top where you can put your charms, beads, tools for beads, etc. Then I have a container that fits all of my punches and one for all of my fibers. Then I keep all of my cutting tools together in my Creative Memories Carry-all and the smaller things in Memory Mate Case (including my Creative Memories Custom Cutting System and mat) and my templates and photos in a file. I don't know if I covered everything and maybe this isn't very helpful but when I go to a Crop all I have to is grab my Carry-All and a few plastic containers to put in it and off I go! Good luck!

karlie, be careful with your pens in a cup. some people have trouble with them drying out or leaking this way. most people recommend that you keep pens and markers stored horizontally to get the most out of them. i had no idea about this until i heard someone mention it on here, so i thought i'd pass that tidbit along. lori shay louisville

Thanks I never knew that! lol

Karlie

just yell for her, but i think she might be having lots of fun packing for her move this coming weekend on top of DS birthday.

Mindi is in the process of moving to a new town so it may be a few days before she could get a list out to you. I do see her post now and again and I "talked" to her the other day to find out where to send her next circle journal. If you e-mail me your addy I can send you a copy of the list I have. Mindi updates as people join and send her new info. I bought an address book specifically for RCS addies. It sure is handy sometimes!

Tracy,

You share a wonderful bday... it's my DHs :)

Yes, this happened with my galaxy markers. Though a few that I kept horizontally also dried up. Haven't had much luck with them.

Brandi

hmmm. I guess I should have read through all the posts before I answered. I didn't know galaxy pens should be stored vertical! Thanks for the tip! (no pun intended hehe) Though didn't have any luck storing my galaxy vertically or horizontally. It's a shame because I really liked the way the pens wrote.

I found a product called Perfect Ink Refresher. It's put out by Ranger and I found mine in AC Moore. I renews ink pads and waterbase pens. I have only tried in on the pads and a couple of spritzes works wonders. For the pens, you remove the plug or the nib, drop a few drops into the barrel, replace plug or nib and let sit a few minutes. I intend to try it on some of my dried pens. Peggy
