Thank you!

I love organizers, but sometimes typical organizers take up more room than I have. I can generally fit twice as much stuff in a space that the organizer takes up! This organizer was inspired by this very thing -- my lack of space but my need to keep my paints contained and organized and easy to access. It will hold 50 2-ounce bottles of craft paint securely, yet has enough space to put your fingers in to remove a bottle of paint.

The outside dimensions of the organizer are 13.85 x 7.75 x 4.
Being able to adjust tabs and slots is definitely required for this file, but, there are a lot of tutorials on Youtube to help. I will help as much as I can, also. :)

One of the (many) reasons I bought my laser cutter is because I love custom organization. Please don't think that means my house is organized for more than 10 minutes because once I get doing something, I have a major mess around me. ADHD brain. Can't fix that. But I try. Hence organizers lol.

I made this organizer specifically with ribbon organization in mind. I use this organizer near my workspace to contain all the ribbon I work with most often. (I would need a few of these to contain all my ribbon). It was made to fit the Hobby Lobby smaller ribbon spools, two rows. Approximately 26 spools of this size should fit in here.

I plan to cut more of these out to use for other areas of my home than just for ribbon. They would work perfectly as an organizer for my upstairs office desk, a quick catch -all for my husband's pocket items at the end of his work day, keys - basically for anything that needs contained.

It was stained with SamaN Navy then dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The physical boxes can be ordered from me, but please allow me several days lead time for processing.

Need something for the kids to do after they are out of school for summer? Got ya covered on that!

So.. I have been working on a lot of things lately. Starting projects is never an issue for me. Finishing them, however, is a huge issue! I want to make all...the....things... so I start them all lol. I know I am not the only crafter that is like this.

I have several projects that are about to be released hopefully this week, but I am starting out with this one. A DIY Paint Kit for Fourth of July! The files are available as a digital download so you can cut your own, or you can purchase the physical product already cut and ready to paint.

The physical product includes the five patriotic icon pieces made from 1/8" MDF, paint pots with the appropriate paint colors (I think they are about .1 ounces each?) and two brushes.

They will make perfect craft projects for the kidlets who don't have anything to do this summer once school gets out!

There will be a few kits taken to the store this week, but, if you want to intercept them before they get there, let me know :)

I finally got these name plaques for my family finished today! Yay! I had cut them about a month ago, but never had a chance to paint them. My plan was to send them with a couple of other things to my mother's house for her Mother's Day gifts and birthday gifts, but, I got busy doing things for other people's mothers and never got to complete them. :) Not that I am complaining.. just explaining why I didn't get them done when they should have been done.

P.S. The blues aren't quite as blue in real life. I tried to drop that saturation down in Photoshop a lot, but... yeah, there's a photography class in my near future.. I had to cancel it last week. lol.

I have waited for ages for the artist who does the engrave images (the non name ones) to have a sale and today, he finally did! Yay! I was in love with his style from the moment I saw his shop. I had purchased similar files a couple of months ago from another Etsy seller who had them cheaper. Shocking -- You definitely do get what you pay for... they were just ok. Always go with the guy who did it first.

The Jesus one isn't even remotely my style at all, but, it's a gift for my mother and it IS her style completely :) I love the military one as well. I bought a few others and will get some of those engraved in the next couple of days. The engravings take about an hour and a half to complete. Even though they are completely awesome in real life, it seems like the picture tended to capture a bit more depth than what is really there. But they are still quite amazing! The artist's shop is 805laserspot.

I'm so proud of my box! I love it! I created it from a box generator, but I still had to do all the measuring and inputting the proper information to get the box to generate properly.

I needed an organization container to hold some garden stakes at my store booth. I came across the coolest box creator - Box-o'matic for iOS who has a very cool creator with great customer service.

After cutting, I finished with SamaN water based turquoise stain, then SamaN Urban Grey wiped off with baby wipe. Then I used medium gray acrylic paint dry brushed on with chip brush.

The cut file is available on Etsy and the boxes can be ordered finished.

I don't normally jump on the internet viral trends, but, this one is different. First off, someone in one of my Glowforge groups created the original file last week prior to it going viral. Second, it's a sign I would put on my own property!

These signs are not meant to be put out in the elements on a long-term basis without being sealed on a regular basis. I have sealed each side once, but, that won't be enough if you intend to set it in your yard with the rain, snow and sun hitting it on the daily.

The version I plan to use for myself is not shown (since I haven't made it yet). It will be able to be hung in the window from a suction cup - sort of like a sun catcher. I will get a picture up of that as soon as I get it created.

I am taking orders at this time for either version. They are currently being cut on 1/8" birch. Both versions $12 and the window version will include the suction cup.

If you prefer a different type of surface to be printed on, it is definitely doable, but prices will vary as will appearance. Other than wood, acrylic is available.

Pick up in West Elmira. I take Paypal, cash and credit card :)
