I remember seeing a bookcase where the books were arranged by colour a few months ago and wishing that I had enough space for a bookcase, so that I could do the same with my mountains of books. I compensated by colour arranging all my CDs and DVDs in their cabinets and it really does make everything look pretty and like a fairytale. One day, I'll have a huge, colour coordinated library, where it's impossible to find a book unless you know it's colour but everything looks so so pretty.

For now, I'll just oogle over the bookcases of people that have already done so, on Flickr's Rainbow Of Books photo pool.

Everyone from Craft Gossip to Craft Zine seems to be talking about the new craft tool, the Crop-A-Dile from We R Memory Keepers.

I was lucky enough to pick one up while on holiday in Canada and I've been using it for all kinds of projects since. The heavy-duty punch seems to be able to punch through almost anything and the Crop-A-Dile can even install snaps and grommets.

Julia Stanton has written a great review for it on her blog, so check it out and find out if this is the tool for you.
