Attention Scrap Bloggers!

Have you ever wanted to write a blog post outside of scrapbooking or papercrafting? But feel like you can't on your scrap blog because it's... about scrapping!? Or... you don't feel like starting a new blog for those sorts of posts?

How about becoming a blogger/writer on a blog I have just started? I am looking for blog authors to write about the following:

• Beauty & Style
• Blogging & Internet
• Entertainment
• Food & Drink
• Home & Garden
• Military Life
• Money & Finances
• Parenting

No, authors are not restricted to writing in any one category.

At the end of each of your posts you will be credited with a short bio that you have written, which can include links to your other sites.

I am hoping in the future that this new blog will be profitable. However, with one person writing, there is very little content. I am hoping to make this a popular blog and when it becomes very popular (and it will... I have faith) and I start selling ads on the site, then I want to share those profits with you, the authors.

I am looking for several authors.

As an author you will also get your own @ourspinonit.com email address. You will need an email program to use it though.

Please visit: http://www.OurSpinonIt.com to see what it's about and please let me know if you are interested!!!

send email to penny @icouldbefake.com

Possible Idea for Craft Storage

As some of you may know I am a huge fan of CSN Stores because of their vast array of products and their super fast shipping time. I was browsing the site and checking out wardrobes for my youngest daughter but got to thinking they could also work well for Craft Supplies. I was looking at this one in particular, it has the two drawers and three shelves on the inside:

 What do you think of that? Sleek, stylish, storage!

Extremely Busy

Hello our followers of Paper Craftorium...just wanted to give you an update so you don't think we are MIA.
