After weeks in the upper 90's here in western North Carolina, it's so refreshing today to feel temperatures in the upper 70's.... ahhhhhhh, what a delightful day to "play" at my art table. I love the work of Patty Van Dorin and find her blog so inspiring. She really grabbed my attention with her entries showing the magic she made with a vintage metal rolodex. I ADORE old office supplies and find them to be perfect to use in some of my art. So I began the search for one I could "alter". What a score I made on ETSY when I found this beauty. I've already put it to a perfect purpose, making mini collages for an online class I am taking... I LOVE it when a good plan comes together...

Love this idea... Need one! Isn't SR awesome...still working on my stuff:)
Absolutely LOVE your rolodex. Could you tell me if you used the cards that came with the rolodex or if you made your own? I have wondered how to tackle the punches you need if you'd make your own. You can email me at ankoning at pi dot net. Thanks heaps.
