Me and My Space - Copic Refills

I had a bit of a messy break down last night. I sat down at my desk, where I have been working like crazy to get some special DT stuff done, and just flipped out. My desk was a total wreck. I have been looking at getting some sort of hutch or something for the back portion of my desk, but just am not seeing what I like out there. So last night I took everything off my desk and... hold on to your hat here.... and I CLEANED it! It took me a couple of hours, but I feel so much better, now! I have more than a 6x6 space to work on! LOL I also removed half of my Copic storage boxes, it was just too big, stood up too tall on my desk - they are now just in three boxes, lets see if that works out, or if I go back to the way they were... HA! (you can see my old version HERE)
I also re-organized my Copic Refills - before they were also in the clear storage boxes, taking up lots of vertical space on my desk. For something that really isn't used that much. I had picked up a those Walmart CD boxes a while back, and decided it was time to give them a real purpose! I'll show off the other ones later...

This is what the boxes look like. Clean and I love the metal tab on the front. Once I have them all filled and in place I do matching labels. I got mine on clearance last fall for I think about $4.00 -

Here it is open. Right on top I keep my Copic Book - So far.. knock on wood.. I have been really good about keeping it up to date. In the beginning of purchasing my Copics I didn't really keep a good list of what I had. Yep... I got me a few extras a couple of times :0( Now when I am ordering my markers or refills I just take my little book and no worries!
But seriously now.. how happy does that look? Love Love Love seeing them all in order all the pretty colors. Hubby thought I was a bit nuts last night when I showed him my refills and my Copics all lined up. LOL hey his fish flies make him happy... my markers and refills make me happier! Cuz I can use mine everyday!

I love how these fit perfectly into the CD Box standing up and can be sat closed up on the shelf. Why didn't I think of this when I got the boxes months ago? :0)

Now for my personal item this week... How about my hearts?
Ok, I collection Donkeys - and I also love to get things with hearts. (Married on Valentines day so it is fitting) These are two hand blown heart paper weights I got forever ago at a craft show. I totally love them. They are just so pretty and shiny. They are always on my desk.... sometimes really buried but they are there - peeking out to me. I don't think I have ever used them as a paper weight... but their real purpose is just to make me smile. I mean these are some serious bling hearts don't you agree? If you look at my desk photo above you can see them :0)

Hope you enjoyed today's Me and My Space - I have something really fun to show off tomorrow! So pop back ok?
