One of the things we love most in writing about organizing, is we get to hear rumblings about new ideas, read the formal announcements, see the actual idea or product revealed and finally get an opportunity to review it. It's fun discovering, and sharing with readers.
Our friend Amy Mobray has been to Michaels Craft Store, and checked out their brand-new line of Martha Stewart's new line of craft supplies. She says good things. Amy does have her pulse on typical shopping-- what has value for the price, and what just seems wrong. Her opinions are always on the mark.
Amy has written up a great review and even snapped a few pics (where does she find the time?) on Martha's new line. Better than we could have done. Our nearest Michaels is in the Burbank Empire Center, 7 miles away in *uber* heavy San Fernando Valley traffic. We don't get there as often as we should. Here's what Amy said about Martha's organizational products:
"I did purchase a few of [Martha's] organizational products. I bought the paper box, CD box, and photo box... I like how the boxes have ribbon in them so you don't remove the lid completely. The ribbon acts like a hinge. Another thing that I like about her stuff is the packaging. Apparently there's storage binders to store all the rub ons, stickers, etc. in. My Michael's didn't have it."
Check out Amy's review on Martha's new craft line-up. If you've seen the products, we'd love to hear what you have to say, too. Enter your comment below.
