New storage --- reminder blog candy until July 22 -- LOTS OF PICTURES!

Hello my crafty friends!
*** Here it is, isn't it grand? Do you see what is under the skirt? It is a Craftsmen tool chest. I bought it from a guy in Bethsda, Maryland on Monday. It was $150.00. A similiar one is over $300 + and this baby is built to last. It is storing my large sizzix dies and I just love it.
** I covered the nit with a skirt which is velcroed in place. I will need to reinforce the joints with some safety pins to keep everything neat, but that shouldn't be hard to do.
**
The punch art is from stampin up and I just love it, I made a "beak" out of an orange sticky note and added google eyes for more fun and movement. It is embellished with scraps of patterned paper and glitter. They are not difficult to make, just a bit time consuming.
**
Blog candy continues until July 22, so get those comments posted! Remember it is over a $120/value.
**
I hope you guys have a great weekend, enjoy the pictures and I'll enjoy my space! It has so opened up an other wise crowded - tight basement and I am so pleased with the results.
** Stamp Happy!
