An extremely organized office, red tomatoes, new plants & so much top-secret project process. Yes, that sums up my week nicely. We're racing through July and I'm not wishing away a day.

Check back this afternoon for a fun summer cocktail recipe.

    I love organized work spaces. Yours looks super duper inspiring – both to create and to get mine organized! I tend to get hung up on the details and not move on quickly enough to make an impact on a lager scale when organizing – so if you have a mantra you keep repeating or some kind of plan how to attack a project like this, do share please 🙂

    I’m hoping your top-secret project is something like an on-line class with Big Picture or Studio Calico. 🙂
    That tomato looks so delicious!

    So out of all these pictures the thing that jumped out at me was the picture of (I’m assuming) the side of your head . I just love it! Might need to take a picture like that soon. Great job on your organization process! 😀

    hmmm – I do nothing special! I use only staz-on ink so the rubber it totally dyed black, but it does not transfer to the wood, maybe that is it?

    How exciting that you finally have red tomatos!! I have a stamp question… Have you thought about offering the stamps you were selling in a digital format as well? I think that would be awesome, and would buy them in a heartbeat!

    Elise, since you use Staz-on ink with your rubber stamps, do you clean the ink off after each use or isn’t that necessary to do with that type of ink?
    Thanks,

    90% of my stamps I only used with black staz-on and I never clean those. The ones that I use with different colors, I will clean when I am changing colors. I am sure die-hard stampers would recommend cleaning after each use though. 🙂
