When I was a freshman in high school, I visited the home of my mom’s very artsy-crafty friend and fell in love with her studio. It wasn’t much more than an oversized closet in terms of space, but it was so well organized you could have tackled any project in there. I came home from that visit determined to reorganize my own craft area (the basement). The first order of business was to remove all but one color of push pins from my inspiration bulletin board — I had noticed almost immediately that my mom’s friend used only light purple pins on hers. I scrapped all but the red pins and felt better immediately. (I think that was about as far as I got in the re-organizing, but hey, I was only 15.) That day I developed a new-found love for push pins. In my desk drawer now I have a cute set of silver shoe pins ready and waiting. I do not, however, currently own a cork board. How, then, can I justify buying this fantastic Wax Seal set from Ballard Designs? Wouldn’t they just add so much to a boring old board?!?!? I know many of you readers have bulletin boards in your homes. Can I live vicariously through you? –Erica P.
