Ok here's a piccie of my desk, and then I'll get onto explaining a few things that were asked about last week...
A few of you asked or commented about my huge silver box of promarkers, well here's a few shots to show you. It is actually a DJ's CD box or some call it a CD Flight Case. This is the one I have. It comes complete with a few hundred suspension pockets designed to hold CD's. BUT I use it to hold and transport my promarkers. I've found it very handy for taking to demonstrations and classes.
Next up was the big boxes of glitter. Well actually those are 2 wee Really Useful Boxes that I picked up in Hobbycraft, and I emptied 2 bottles of Glamour Dust into the top one - the reasoning for this is, I will use wee scoops (this was part of a mini set that came out of our xmas crackers) and hold the item being glittered over the box - so in theory less chance of making a mess. The other box holds clear embossing powder.
So that's me for this week, sorry I only made it round a fraction of the WOYWWers last week - will try to do better this week.

There's nothing on your desk! You are so organised with your promarkers....
All I can say is: WOW!
And your Promarker-box is great!
wow, you have a great storage system there. I have my first set of promarkers waiting at home for my return...then i just need to work out how to use them correctly.
very tidy desk, unlike mine this morning

Nice one Debbi! Such a great way to store and keep ProMarkers organised!
thats a great idea for storage but aren't you s'posed to keep them flat or is that not true and the colour chart is a great idea too I'm very jealeous though with the amount you have so don't leave them unattended toooo long I may have to come up your way and have a play lol
Take care Debbi Speak to you soon

wow alright I am blown away and totally green at your Promarkers am struggling to organise mine, but only have about 35 or so I would say a mere drop in the bucket.. and I dont think I will afford to add too many more to them, but really do love them,
love your storage idea,

Love your tidy desk thats my sort of space and what a clever idea with the storage for promarkers lol - I too have to have them in the same order as the Pro Markers colour charts - but I am that sad that I have even numbered my pens so it makes it easy to put them away - I keep seven in each sleeve as I only have a small craft area - great minds think alike - thanks for sharing Nicky 24
Love the storage for the promarkers - I might have a little looky-see for something like that for my Copics.... Thanks for swinging by my blog earlier!
You are so organised. Love the pen storage.

I'm just bopping around looking for ideas and inspiration. Would not dare show my space this week.
Thank you for all the useful tips about storage, and explaining the differences between the different types of pens.
So much space to play! Love the Promarker stash, and thanks for the heads up on the Aquamarkers; I'll check mine are reclining as they should.

Your neat and tidy space puts me to shame. I do like some of your storage ideas, tho' so worth the internal wince and avowals to do better. Love the samples that show different hair colouring - very cool.

Hi Debbie,
Great tidy desk and I love the way you are storing your markers with color chart! Thanks for stopping by my desk. Happy WOYWW! #15
That desk is really a bit tooo tidy. Please send me your 'tidy-upper-er'
We have one of these, I might have already said, but of course it has DVD's in them little pockets. Nice to know they don't mind being vertical, (Promakers)though I had some over the Christmas that were a bit 'dry' and one didn't work at all..luckily they sent me a another one, and the others work fine now..sort of...but still not as lush as my Fav Magenta one, which is FIVE years old and still going strong! Time to go...rabbiting too much

That's some serious, industrial sized storage for your pens! Thanks for explaining the glitter tubs from last week, and how amazing is that desk! Check you out!!

Great storage I've never seen anything like that before. And congrats on 178 days
Sorry, I think I've come to the wrong blog! It is so tidy! Well that wont last long LOL! Love your marker organisation! Kim
Well what a useful WOYWW - you've not got it bad for the ProMarkers at all then?!! Love to see sunlight falling across your incredibly tidy desk...
I have never seen such organisation in a desk area before. Wow. That is impressive!
Wow, such a neat solution for your promarkers! Very impressive.
Hi Debbi! I'm in awe of how you arranged your promarkers! It's like I want to give you a medal for ingenuity! Patsy from
HeARTworks
Wow, such great ideas.
Thanks for the peek and sharing. Happy WOYWW, hugs Marjo #10
What a fantastic way to store your Promarkers. I am in awe - mine are in bundles in poly bags and I am now so wanting one of those cases. That is brilliant. Think I need to visit Ebay!
Wow! Love your coloring! What a cool way to store those promarkers...
i'm speechless. WOW! that's awesome!
Love your tidy desk, and love your fab case for promarkers! It's an ingenius idea! Pauline xx
Hi Debbi
You wanted to know what stamp I used on one of my tags, it's a Stampers Anonomous no x1-1097 Vogue.
Hope this helps.
Lynn
Thanks for letting us see your Promarker storage - great for you as you must need the full range of colours, etc., - me, I'll stick to my two wee boxes. Thanks also for the link to the colour chart - very useful. I've already got 3 plastic containers waiting for me to tip glitter & embossing powder into because I think it will cut down the amount of spillage and mess I get into - just need some wee spoons. Regards, Elizabeth #78
What a great idea for storing markers! Your desk scares me, its way too tidy!

wow ...so tidy ....so organized ...so clever ...love the card above xx
Really glad about the Promarkers not needing to be stored horizontally as I have just done this and they take up too much room on my desk so now I can happily stand them up and will be able to use them better. Glad to meet you and thanks for your comment.

Wow awesome storage box for your markers! I really need to get me some of those!
Thanks for the peek! :D
♥Tracey♥...ƸӜƷ
Now that is some serious organised storage you have there!
Your desk looks brill too, mine is now at the point where I have no room left to craft so it's definitely due a tidy!
You look so well organised this week!!
You could open up a shop or an advise line. When I buy some I will come to you for advise. Very sensible storage!!

Wow, look at all those markers - how fun that must be. Thanks for visiting my blog - see you next Wed.
how tidy! love your little sewing machine. your marker storage is great :)
Lovely tidy desk Debbi! I love your promarker storage it's beautifully organised & your colouring is absolutely stunning! I will find a link to the flower tutorial & send it to you. Have a great week. Tracey x
oh my goodness it is so tidy at your workdesk today! I like the storage idea for your markers. I have been using Stampin Up and Copic and they both can be stored vertical or horizontal. Thanks for sharing.
LOL! Think we follow/read the same blogs. I use this method to store my Promarkers as well but I've not got the full set and didn't want such a big box so I bought one that holds 120 CDs and it's perfect for the number I've got. It's only one line of hangers and I put 7 in my pouches, in order they're on the colour chart in. I've put labels in the back of the pouches to say which colours are in (or should be) and have the coloured dots on the top as well. Works well and makes them very portable.
Love nosing at the desks ...
1 day I will have that many promarkers and I will *have* to get something as cool as this to store them all in! Such a great idea. x x
Wow! Your desk is so tidy! Nice clean up job you have done! That is the most organized boc of markers I have ever seen! You can probably tell at a glance if one is missing, which would come in handy whenever you take them somewhere!
Thanks for the peek!
xoxo Karen
What a nice crafty place))) I wish I had a tabble for my creations oneday!))
The laminated sheets are brilliant - I sat for a while just looking at those enlarged on m MAC - if only I could come to one of your workshops, but I'm deep south from you. I look lonignly at Simple Create - might have to move - but realistically that isn't likely.

ohmygosh - all those lovely promarkers! Jealous! Love your storage for them, looks great!
wow -how tidy and organised are you........i wish i could be lije that, but it never happens!
:) I loved last weeks photo.. I just wanted to sit at your desk and have a riffle through it all to see what I could find!!
Love your marker case, what a fabby idea.. when I get markers (or win your candy hehe) I'll def look at something similar - and with a huge lock so the kiddies can't touch!! ♥
FANTASTIC!
I use one of these boxes to store my umnounted stamps - but would never have thought of one for my Promarkers too - think I need to buy another one!

Great idea for your marker storage Debbi. Thanks for visiting me.

Your desk is beautifully tidy. I really like the way you store your promarkers. I have mine in cases for each colour group (orange and purple share). On the front of each case I have the colour group with actual ink - great to help pick which colour to use. I think your shading samples are brilliant and would love to see bigger pictures - I'm still struggling with getting the colouring right! Thanks so much for sharing, and thanks for your comment on my desk!

Love your awesome chart and the dots on the ends of the pens. Great idea!
Thanks for sharing! :o)

Thanks for the tip with the dots onto the promarkers. I miss those colordots that triamarkers have.

What a great idea, though I'd need more promarkers to make this work for me otherwise I'd only have one in each pouch!
great job organizing your markers.
Wow!
This is amazing
I don't have my own scrap room)
You keep everything so tidy
And these promarkers)) So adorable!

Wow how organised are you. love the way you store your Promarkers, I keep looking for a way of storing them into colour groups but i think i would need a bigger desk and crasftr room, as i have stuff evereywhere.
I am a tidy crafter but of late i have been looking after My Granddaughter whilst mum was in hospital having my gorgeous grandson, so been making cards and watching both Mum Baby aswell as my Lovley likkle Alesha, so hecne having been as tidy of late.
and next week its happening all over again, my other Daughter will be giving birth to My Granddaughter, so more cuddles for Nanny. Love you cards, i have tried the grey colouring look but never seem to get it write, oh well practice makes perfect they say.
Hope you had a great Birthday.
