I went to the craft store recently and wanted to get those scrapbook paper storage cubes and stack them up into a tower. My husband looked at them and said "I could make those". Well if you ask me he did WAY better than the stackable cubes!  I sort my paper by color, and he made this so I can have a separate slot for solid and patterned paper for each color! Now I just have to work on filling it up! http://craftychicsblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/look-what-my-husband-made-for-me.htmlEdited by user Saturday, June 30, 2012 8:29:12 AM(UTC)

He's so handy! He could probably get orders for the paper rack. Looks so much nicer than many I see in stores.

Kudos to your husband! Not only for his abiiities but also for his desire to please you and understanding of our "obsession"! My husband totally gets it and loves to indulge me...most recent evidence is the completion of my craft room and all the effort he put into getting it ready for me after my daughter moved out with new hubby! He spent hours painting and hanging the television, creating my work space with counter top from Home Depot, etc! So that is wonderful that your hubby "gets it"! Yay!!  BTW...I have way more paper then I have room for and could fill that amazing paper holder very quickly if you would like to part with it! LOL

I think are hubbies are brother from other mothers!!!! LOL Would your darling hubby be willing to write down his measurements/instructions for us that have to do for ourselves??? I'm married to a contractor with all those cool tools, but if I want it done I have to do it myself. Freda
