How many of you own a label maker? I have several label makers and the ultimate label maker: the Silhouette. Labels calm me. Seriously. Labels are my go t0 strategy to organize a desk, drawer, closet or refrigerator. I {may have} labeled the fruit bin in the refrigerator just in case the family couldn’t recognize [Read more…]
Shims | 2 Minute Tuesdays Hi everyone- I couldn’t think of a good post title for a shim so I just went old school with Shims. Who uses shims? They are great for leveling height differences but did you know you can use them to save the drywall? Sidenote: do you say sheet rock or [Read more…]
