ReplyDeleteExcellent as always!
ReplyDeleteGreat one! I have another storage hack: when I throw out all of my old VHS tapes I kept the plastic covers and replaced the film information/brochure by some pretty paper. I was originally planning to use them as stylish gift boxes for presents - but then I found that they have the perfect size for storing personal sized inserts, index cards and postcards (which I use for my a6) and I am also using them now for replacement ink cartridges, washi tape, paperclips and other stuff that was taking up space on my desk.
ReplyDeletetypo: threw out
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic podcast. I was listening to it while driving from work, so I will listen again so I can write down the notes and tips! :).
