Okay, so first: I have a huge observation to share with all you crazy mad creative artist blog hoppers!
Do you know what is the biggest common denominator among us, besides our wild creative skill sets?
PLASTIC BINS. YES. PLASTIC BINS.
I am certain, after looking at 50 creative messes in our blogs yesterday, that there is an entire factory in China that is supplying this group with plastic bins and boxes of any style, shape and type imaginable!
Okay. Enuf of that.
I know you are all dying to know.....who in the world won the TWO 100.00 Muse Boxes from B'sue Boutiques
I will tell you soon. But first, you have to wait, just like they make those poor singers wait interminably for good/bad news on those reality shows....will they win? will they get sent home?
Well nobody gets sent home here, stop worrying. BUT:
For those who haven't had the pleasure of a Muse Box before: I sell these things from time to time when I have lots of incoming and destash. They are not on the site, you have to wait for me to announce on FB or one of the groups, or my newsletter, that I have some available for sale.
For 100.00 you get basically 175-195.00 worth of all manner of unrelated, disparate doofus. These Muses will have stampings, some of my clay focals, sari, fiber, other beads, sheesh, all sorts of great stuff to bring NEW INSPIRATION....and happy hours of designing and creative play. I just got 50 pounds of brass here this week, so! they'll get a taste of that, too....lots of new incoming.
First before I tell you: in the hub bub and clamor of yesterday, you may not have noted there is a special coupon that is like a little gift for any of you who are ready to stock up on B'sue stuff:
bloghop
If you have 50.00 or more at B'sue Boutiques and enter that code, you get 10 percent off.
If you run your order up to 100.00 or more, you will now get......TWENTY PERCENT OFF and! Free US shipping.
I have extended the time frame for you to use it....it's good through midnight, Tuesday May 2, 2012 and then poof, gone. I will not be having a sale like this again any time soon. ;-)
And don't forget my sale bin has maybe 300 items in it, all good stuff, already marked down 20-50% and YES! you can get the extra sale ON TOP of that! So!
If you come to rob me blind with this coupon....whoops! I meant, HAVE A GOOD TIME! with that coupon....DO NOT FORGET IT. bloghop bloghop just. like. that.......bloghop
Don't forget it. No special discount without it. Gotta have it.
OKAY! WHO WON, ALREADY?????

The other thing I noticed besides plastic storage bins - dogs and cats. Lots of dogs and cats.

Yes indeed....we all seem to have mascots. Sometimes, the mascots were in the storage bins!

I hopped so much that day I had to verify myself with my phone because I had unusual activity lol

I am about 3/4 of the way through now, and yes dogs, cats and plastic bins. It's been a blast and I feel much better now about my mess!

Yea! Congrats to you both!

OMG!!! Wow, I don't know what to say!!! LOL Thank you SOOOoooo MUCH!!!!
Look what happens... I leave to go to my Mother and Father In-Law's to continue helping them move, and all this excitement happens!!!
Ack!!! I'm over the Moon!!! LOL The good feelings just aren't stopping! LOL That's a good thing!
And yes, I totally agree about the plastic bins! We should all buy stock in plastic! LOL Speaking of plastic - got one of my new storage bins in today! =) It's smaller than I imagined, but, that's a good thing, I can use it to store the tiny things and use the bigger ones for the bigger beads and stuff!
Oh my gosh... I am soooo going to need even more storage now with that Muse Box! LOL Have some great ideas for storage though thanks to this hop!
Speaking of hop... I need to get hopping! I did a little bit last night when I got back from the International Gem & Jewelry Show, did a bit this morning before we left, and now that we are back, going to do a bit more, then probably finish up any remaining hopping that I don't get to tonight, tomorrow! =) I'm having way to much fun with this hop!
Congrats to Dr. Brassy on winning the other Muse Box!!! And, ROFL, thanks for the coined moniker "The Voice" LOL Love it!!! =) Can't wait to see what we create with all the goodies! =)

Congratulations, you lucky ladies! You'll be so busy with all your new loot!
I too noticed all the plastic and all the animals! I also noticed people who had the same problems as I do: that would be animals sleeping on the workspace! Or sticking their nosey noses into bead boxes.

Congratulations you guys! ROFL at the post. B'Sue thank you for a fun hop.
I also noticed the bins, and realized, I definitely need more pliers and that bracelet sizing cone thingy.
Cats and dogs too, funny how we have them.

CONGRATS TO KELLI AND BRASSY! WHOOP! WHOOP!

There are many options to choose from when it comes to rolling storage. From file storage to tool or toy storage, you can find the perfect unit for every area. You can choose a hard plastic, three-drawer file system on wheels, or select one in solid wood with polished casters for a more formal setting.
