127 TSP Crank Up the Carousel

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Today’s episode explores the phenomenon of the swirling carousel and the problems that arise when we crank up the carousel. Come listen and explore some solutions to this perpetual problem of loose pieces that begin to fly off the carousel once we crank the merry-go-round handle.

In this episode I mentioned some tools that I use to solve the swirling carousel problem. If you would like to try these same tools, here are links to the items that I use. Of course, you never need to purchase anything, but if you decide to make a purchase, please consider using these links here, as they will provide a small benefit to the podcast and blog at no additional cost to you.

artist’s sketchbooks, 5.5 x 8.5: This page shows a variety of these sketchbooks. I find this tool to be my most useful. I have one in almost every room of my life!

My bullet journal (dotted). I use a new one every year, and for really busy years, I use more than one. My favorite tool! Here is an episode that explains how to use it:  The Bullet Journal and Other Tools.

I use Frixion erasable pens, because I do not like smeary pencil markings in my bullet journal. I prefer these pens because of the color possibilities. I buy ink refills for my favorites (light blue, pink, dark blue , and green). I use the black pens for the office.
