This set of draws from three DCWV kits seems to crop up regularly in craft stash pictures! I always liked the look of mine, but never knew quite what to actually put in them - I prefer to store the papers from the kits elsewhere as the draws are a very tight fit, making it hard to browse through / stroke the papers.
When my stash was infiltrated by Promarkers, I realised that the draw set is the perfect home for them. The draws are just the right height, and can be pulled out & placed on the workdesk (assuming I can find the space to set them down of course) for easy selection of colours.
Now to my actual work desk, which is looking a little, ahem, messy this week. I'm in the middle of bagging up some glitter as I needed to do some for an order on Monday but haven't got round to finishing off a few more bags. It's just as well that my craft room isn't overlooked, as neighbours could easily get the wrong impression when I'm bagging up the white and crystal glitters...I had a surge of creativity over the weekend and managed to complete all of one card. A couple more are still in the planning stage as you can see on my cutting mat. I was looking for papers that would go with the Kanban Robot Friends toppers, the discarded ones are in the pile to the left of the mat, as I haven't got around to refiling them yet. I was also playing around with foiling strips of card, by putting them through a Xyron which provides a good even covering of adhesive. As well as the small red one on the table, I have a larger Xyron, which is out of the picture on the floor.

Well, if you have to give house room to infiltrators, I think it's a great use for the drawers. Loved your desk today, and the fact that your surge of creativity was for one card - you and me gal, against the rest of them!!
What a great soloution for promarker storage. Hugs Pascale
I love the drawers for your promarkers at least you can see all their colours and find the one that you need.
Fab storage for your markers. You have a very busy desk.

what a great way to store the promarkers - might have to try something similar. is that a holiday cottage brochure in the middle of your desk - did I miss something?

that's a lovely storage for the promarkers. I don't use them myself (cause I totally suck at using them, trust me, I've tried) but neat storage is always impressive
A lovely snoop...stroke paper?? oh yes me too...and my new promakes...but shame they are just colours I've run out of. sorry I'm late mr blogger wouldn't let me comment

lovely way to store your promarkers!! I, like many others, am still rummaging through my marker drawer. I guess a few more go on my to-do list now :P
How tidy are you with the promarkers, mine are in a bag! great idea must look out some drawers.
Great box storage and marker collection! Thanks for the snoop :o)
How cool ... custom Promarkers drawers ... and a fab looking desk ... more busy than untidy me thinks!
Great storage system for you Promarkers, and such a great amount of them too!! Lucky girl! Sure beats my toiletpaper roll-promarker storage system. lol
Love the storage and the Promarkers !
