Hello crafty friends! It's been awhile since my last post and I miss you all! I hope you are staying safe and healthy. 💛💛 Lotsastyle contacted me and asked if they could send me this new bin with pop up lid for my craftroom, and of course I had to decorate it with my bee logo! 💛💛 This bin is perfect to store all my scraps next to my diecutting machine and paper cutter when I'm paper crafting and making cards.  And I love how the lid pops open when you tap on the top!  I chose the white bin to match my craft area, but this bin also comes in some other super cute colors. @lotsastyle_shop  is offering 30% off to my readers if you use this promo code: 30CRAFTYBEE You can shop here:   https://www.amazon.com/gp/mpc/ A1ZWU5RTPN2P4Z Happy crafty shopping my friends! 😍 Crafty hugs, Beata June 💚💚 #lotsastyle   #lotsastyletrashcan    #craftroom

It was so fun decorating it with my logo (created by my amazingly talented friend Davina @popsiclesticks). 💛 Now I have somewhere to put all my scraps when I’m making my cards instead of all over the floor 😆😆  @lotsastyle_shop is offering 30% off if you use this promo code: 30CRAFTYBEE You can shop here: http://bit.ly/2MryefO Happy crafting my friends!
