Tape deck ink storage.

Finally Friday, wahoo!  Awhile back I saw this cool storage idea where people were using an old cassette tape holder to store their ink pads.  I began keeping my eye out for one, because I've never been happy with the way I've stored my inks.

I found one a few months ago at a local thrift shop, but there was just something about it that wasn't right.  So I passed on it.  Fast forward to last Friday.  Abie wanted to go to the thrift shop (thank you Macklemore) and guess what I found?  The perfect cassette tape holder, for only $2.99!

All of my Momento ink pads fit, CTMH, PTI (the old style), Tim Holtz distress inks and Versamagic chalk inks fit.  What doesn't fit?  Cats eye inks, PTI cubes, Versamark watermark pads and Colorbok chalk inks.  They were all just too fat :)  I'm hoping to rig something up where I can have them set up on top of my new ink station :)  I'm in transition right now anyway, while some of the basement furniture is up in the new craft room so I've got some time to figure it out.

This week has just flown by.  I'm sure it's the holiday, but work has been a little crazy too, which always helps to pass the time!  I'm excited for the weekend.  Mike and I are going to a concert Saturday and I can't wait!  What are your plans this weekend?  Anything fun?  Thanks for stopping in and I'll be back soon :)
