Someone in response to one of my blogs suggested creating a notebook to include a list of helpful hints that we can use and share with our colleagues. Great idea! So many ideas come from working together and finding out-of-the-box solutions to everyday annoyances in our Staging lives. I'm happy to share and look forward to reading ideas from other Stagers. I share these ideas freely since they are so often concepts that spring from our collective Stager consciousness and as such, are best shared collectively!
