Reorganization!

This is a shelf that I have used in my stamp room for several years.  Just recently I reorganized the shelf to include most all of my AMuse Studio products.  I love how colorful it looks and also that I have easy access to the things that I use the most!  I purchased this shelf at Michael's & I think it is by Making Memories.  I don't think they carry it anymore but you might find it in a google search! 

On the top of the cabinet I have my Popcorn boxes in various colors.   On the first shelf in the little square cubbies you will see my Amuse Studio Washi Tape, Sequins, Baker's Twine & Baker's Cording & Splash!

Aren't the Brownie Bites cute with the stamped wooden spoon in them?  Amuse Studio Venetian Background was stamped on the handle of the wooden spoon to add a little decoration to the spoon.  Amuse Studio now carries the wooden spoons in two sizes.  Small 3 3/4"   Large 5 1/2"

This is one of my favorite pages - all the wonderful Amuse Studio colors of Felt!

 This is my other favorite page - Glitter - it's a little messy but oh how I love it!  

I found some additional sleeves at Staples to add to my planner.  They have a top flap on them to keep things from falling out.  In this sleeve I have a sample of all our new treat bags!
