Why I Keep These 7 Products on My Craft Desk

Must-Have Products on My Desk - Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

Almost all my craft supplies are from Stampin’ Up! However, today I’m sharing some “non-Stampin’ Up!” products that I keep at my desk. Each helps make my crafting process easier and tidier.

    • Hi Carol, the white bookshelves in my “command center” were removed from our basement and repurposed in my craft room. So it is a “custom” piece but I didn’t build it for my space, it just worked.

    • THAT is the BEST ruler I have EVER had. Mary is so right. Every paper crafter should have one. WARNING: Other people in your house may want to steal it. 🙂 I prefer the 18 inch size.
