I want this!
I’ve been struggling with paper storage in the worst way.
For years, I used Creative Memories’ 10×12 paper, and my storage needs were geared toward that odd size. Darren installed a plate rack above my desk that holds 10×12 perfectly, for instance. But as I’ve transitioned over to 12×12, paper storage has been a dilemma.
I’m a scrapper who decorates her scrap space. Yesterday, my friend Elaine and I chatted on the phone about all things creative, including how we each approach our scrap spaces. Mine is decorated with colors and objects and words that inspire me. It’s as “cute” as it is useful. I’m always on the lookout for storage pieces that function as well as complement my space. Elaine, on the other hand, doesnt’ want to waste time decorating her space. When she’s in her scrap/sewing room, she wants to be scrapping and sewing. To each her own!
Last week, I popped in to Hobby Lobby with my friend Cara. As we checked out, I saw this piece sitting in the lobby of the store. Oh. MY. I want it. I want it BAD. I want it NOW. It’s the perfect style for my scraproom. The color is right. The size is right. And it would solve my paper storage problem.
If you live in the Fort Worth area, I am begging you not to go buy this piece. There was only one in stock. It’s mine. Just as soon as I find something to hock. Anybody want some Thomas trains? Maybe a cute gray kitty (I’ll throw in the litter box for free!)?
Here. Look again. Tell me this wouldn’t be perfect in my room!

I’d pay for an autographed 4×4 square of your jeans!
Hope that you find that “pot of gold” to purchase YOUR piece of furniture!

How much is that bad boy? I live a few blocks from HL, I may have to check it out.
February 20th, 2007 at 1:55 pm
OOOO…I saw those at our HL too. Was thinking about it to use in my family room. Fear not, I neither live in the DFW area nor did I think it would work with what I already have. But for you…perfect…

Very beautiful… and it would really match your desk!!!
Where there is a will, there is a way!

Stace,
do you have the 40% off coupon from the HL website? it’s out there this week!
go get that bad boy! perfect for you!
….i’m an enabler. you should see the amount of sock yarn i bought today.

i can’t see it well enough to know why it’s so great for paper storage but it is a beautiful piece…what’s the price? can the 40% off coupon be used on it? or maybe furniture is on sale?
February 20th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
I’ve already printed my HL coupon off, but here’s the thing: even at 40% off, it’s still well over a hundred bucks. Which would be okay except that we just made a payment on Dani’s choir trip to Chicago, so cash is low. And we don’t use credit cards. Except… there is this EMERGENCY credit card in my wallet. This constitutes an emergency, right? RIGHT? After all, there’s not a coupon every week, and besides, THERE IS ONLY ONE IN STOCK!! I need it. I can justify the purchase. RIght? RIGHT?

Stacy go for it! You deserve it. Use that emergency credit card and make sure in the next 30 days you save up the cash to pay that card off when the bill comes. Just make sure you have checked the dimensions and it will work before you take it home. Be sure and show us all a pic when it is full!

Well, the next obvious question is . . . what does Darren say about it?
February 20th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
Don’t I owe you money or something? Hmmm… LOL
February 20th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
I’m LOL too because I saw this at my HL (also in DFW, but MidCities area, so you’re safe!) and thought it would be perfect for scrapbook paper. Not wanting to be a wet blanket here, just thought you might want to calculate this into your budget: I found out recently that you CANNOT use the HL 40% off coupon on something that is currently on sale … and the furniture seems to ALWAYS be on sale at 30% off! I learned that the hard way when I bought my Christmas tree.
