  12. All looking great!! And here was I thinking I was the only crazy crafter who put one mat on top of the other... Difference is, mine are both old, and the top one has a hole in it.... Good luck with your journalling!!

    Happy Wednesday hopping!

  16. Your inspirational wall looks brilliant Trace. I've started one in my studio but only using posters so far.
    I love the cute little jars. I have a collection of jars but not as organised as your's. Not sure what to put in them so they are just waiting for now.
    Happy WOYWW ~ enjoy! Neesie #45

  24. Hi Trace - your blog is looking gorgeous. The aqua colour is lovely. Are the images all your own work? I am thinking it is. Are you doing it yourself (changing your blog I mean)? Lots of questions but I am setting up my own business at the moment and I would like to know how to change the look of my blog to match my website - any clues where to begin would be gratefully received!! Happy WOYWW to you Helen 50

  26. Yep, me and your hubby get it - it IS quite funny about the mats..but then a glance around your room will tell the same story - it's a; neat and lovely looking. The silver topped jars are fun aren't they - rows of treasure!

  27. Those tags really pop against the white... what cool eye candy and inspiration. I see your note about the blog re-do... so many decisions! But worth it in the end...

  28. I have two mats- one looks like pizza and one is immaculate! Love the tags on the wall - they look fab and should be on show - mine are all tucked away awaiting their day and a shelf! Happy woywwing and thanks for the peek...Sarah at 13

  31. Hi Trace I've also got two mats! I don't like to throw things away until they're well and truly worn out love your tags and the little spice jars thanks for the visit happy days toni x

  32. I have a nice desk blotter which I top with an old desk calendar to protect it. I have a bunch of calendars for that purpose but I turn the papers over and about again and again until they are well and truly trashed. I would never work on the nice blotter though. Ever. Okay, I think I ate soup there once...! I love all your jars to keep this and that in, and the fact that you have room to put them where they are easily accessible.

  33. You are not alone with your mat thing. I bought a new one over a year ago and still havent used it as I don't want to get it dirty!!
    Good luck in your journal.

  35. There's no such thing as too many mats! I love that you cover the new with the old. :) I love all those jars...

  38. Gorgeous colourful wall full of storage jars and tags! Very decorative and inspirational! As for mats, at present I'm working on 3 thicknesses of mats: on top of the desk is my large quilter's cutting mat (warped with the heat gun so turned round and the warped bit is now away from me), ultra-heat proof mat - one of the best things I've ever bought - NO MORE WARPED MATS ROFL!! and then my craft sheet on top of that. I think they should tell us that while the non-stick craft sheets are heat-proof in themselves (i.e. won't melt) they are rubbish at protecting what's underneath.

    Happy WOYWW,
    Shoshi #84

    PS Love your blog background - a sort of combination of shabby chic and steampunk! Brilliant.
