  1. I'm so glad you liked everything! and glad you posted photo's of it all! I actually added more things after I had taken photo's of everything!
    My studio is organized by color with great big 14X17 stacking drawers that hold it all. So it was super easy and fun to "shop" for you with all that I had and 'collect'.... :)
