Studio Friday : Secret Stash
This week's Studio Friday topic is secret stash. Totally laughed when I read that one - very clever. Let's see, what kind of stashes do I have? I don't really have anything that is secret that I could think of...no candy, no vices, no special drinks stashed away.
But I do have lots of stashes.
Here are a couple. First, my 7gypsies stash. Just my own little piece of heaven. Especially the rub ons and the sticker sheets. Love them. Use them. Don't share them. Continually adding them to my stash.
The second photo is of my inspiration stash. Things I get in the mail - like baby coupons from Target - that were really well designed. Stashed them away down under my computer desk for a rainy day (and you know it rains quite a bit here in Portland). Lots of goodies in that basket that did something for me at some point in time...my internal voice told me to stash it...I try to listen to that voice.
And I just have to say that Jon Stewart was on fire last night. Love the Daily Show. Chris and I have not laughed like that in awhile.
Hi Ali! Can you pls tell me which lot of 7gypsies are the sheets with "happiness & delight" on them??? I have heaps of packs of the etchings stashed away too!!

Boy would I like to dip into your stash, Ali! I can only imagine what your supplies are like. I am sure you see the best of everything out there. I have a few stashes of my own...a few bags of new supplies from my trip to the lss that I haven't even opened and organized yet. I am so behind!

Great idea on keeping junk mail and other things that have an inspiring design. I'm gonna start doing that.
I am actually re-organizing my stash. Sort and Purge! I am going to pay it forward and give my purged pile to the person to posts the most paper layouts at www.TheUntamedScrapper.com

Jon Stewart ROCKS! I will have to try to catch the repeat tonight. I have started going to bed really early - 8-9 pm - and getting up around 3 or 4 am. Those couple of hours of unhurriedness are bliss. I am so much kinder to my family in the am when I'm not feeling under the gun.
So I guess I gotta have TiVo - can't miss Jon.

Love the Daily show. Thought I would share my little post about. http://www.vegasandvenice.com/vegasandvenice/blog/769572A3-79C4-4B37-BBB7-AEEA96C06C9B.html
I hope it makes absolutely any sort of sense.

Ali-
My husband and I are planning a trip to Seattle and Portland at the end of April. Are there any great scrapbook stores I should visit? The ones here in Mississippi are rather lacking.
Thanks-
Sandi

Had to laugh out loud - I have the same "Dear Gaud" booklet from Veer in my backpack - been traipsing back and forth to work and home with me for over a week. Can't throw it out - maybe that is the voice I need to heed! I have every book/catalog they've sent me for the past 2 years in a bookshelf at work. Seriously too good to dispose of!

Ali, I just wanted to tell you that I've been reading your blog for a few months but have never commented. I find all your entries so inspiring, and particularly the love you have for Simon is just so touching to me. I don't have any children, but I'm a special education teacher by training and you are so many lightyears ahead of a lot of parents of autistic kids. You understand him and you love him for just being Simon, and that is an amazing accomplishment.
Thank you - for being such an inspiration, for posting layouts, thoughts, musings about things that make me think, and for having such a graphically inspiring space for me to visit every day.

i always admire some things that come in the mail for their design, but i've never thought to keep them to use for scrapping ideas! brilliant!

Mentioning the Daily Show=Angry Kristi.
I have my own 7gypsies stash, I am just upset that it all used up rubs and empty sticker sheets. Waaaaaah.

I've been collecting "junk mail," labels of all sorts, ads from magazines, and all sorts of other freebies---anything that has a layout or design I am drawn to. The collection is my "inspiration file" and is kept in boxes, bags, and drawers....I though I was the only one who intentionally hangs onto what others would consider junk!

Just had to share Ali! As I was reading about your stashes, my DH walks past my computer and says..."Hey, nice picture" ahahah I had to laugh because he tries his hardest avoid the scrap world, so the fact that he stopped to comment was sweet! And then I thought to myself, 1. OF COURSE nice picture...it's Ali Edwards! and 2. OF COURSE it's 7 GYPSIES! xoxo
