Distressed about my inks

I was working with my Distress Inks today.
I love these inks.
I usually use make up sponges to apply it. Even though I do have a couple of the distress tools, it just seems easier for me to grab a wedged sponge, then to attach the foam to the distress tool.
But I have an organizational idea I am going to work on during the weekend.
So I will share that then.
In the mean time, check out the pretty colours :)
Does it bother you that the one foam pad isn't straight. It was straight when I took the photo, I swear it was....unless hubby was teasing me again and moved it.

I store my inks on my peg board on an shelf. So they are stacked up and I can't see the tops of the ink pads.
So to help me get the correct colour I am looking for I put the names on the side fronts with my label maker, and ink the colour on the heart shape.
Can you tell which inks I use the most, or the ones that are new, lol.
I bought all these foam pads recently. Like I said I usually use the make up sponges.

I just opened one of my new inks today and the ink pad wasn't fully attached to the container.
I was bummed :(
I contacted Oozak (the place that I purchased the ink from) and before they replied to my email, they had another one on the way to me :)
Awesome customer service :)

Onto My Day:
I kind of vegged today.
I am getting a cold, my throat is sore and my eyes are burning :(
But I did work on my He-Art Challenge page. It was a bit of a tough theme for me this week.

I think I am going to soak in a nice hot tub, light a candle and read a bit of my book "Catching Fire".

Hope you all had a creative Wednesday.
Wishing all my American Friends a very nice Thanksgiving :)
Hope you enjoyed your day with your family and friends, and ate a lot of turkey and fixin's :)

  1. You are getting very organized with all your distress inks. Glad they are replacing the one that wasn't put together quite right.
    One little tip--the velcro on the distress tool--get Wayne to use his heavy stapler and staple it on good. Then it won't come off when you are changing colours often . Saves a lot of grief in the long haul.
