WOW how fast can a week fly by? Seems like it was just yesterday I wrote the post for last weeks WOYWW and here it is Wednesday again. What is WOYWW? Go check out on it over at Julias blog
Stamping Ground...the directions on how to join is up in the upper left side.
Been busy this week sorting out the craft room for a move to the bigger room. Hopefully I can get that accomplished in the next couple of weeks so I can find all the stuff I need for fall crafting projects. I have so much stuff that are duplicates that I refusing to buy anymore till I get it organized better because I know I have what I need just not accessible. Example...I bought some paper mache boxes last year that are pumpkin shaped on the clearance bin to make something with this year...I don't have the foggiest where they are at!! I am pulling stuff out of cabinets and closets and trying to find this or that. I am an organized person...more or less. I have all sorts of boxes, baskets, drawers, and cabinets to store stuff in but I have piled it in front of or around other pieces of storage and I have to move stuff to get at it. SO I am moving. Want to have nightmares tonight? Here is an example of what I am talking about...
 |
| my color coordinated cardstock in plastic boxes in a rack in front of the cabinet that holds a lot of scrapbooks and tools I rarely use but when I need them I have to move all this crap. |
 |
| This is a nightmare! The cutting cart holds dies, folders, and my Vagabond. It sits in front of a table that I have covered with stuff from the closet I have been trying to find things in. The cube cabinet behind it is about 3 feet from the cutting cart but has two carts in front of it that hold various and sundry cardstock and 6x6 and 8x8 paper pads that have become a horizontal depository for closet debri! |
|
Yes, I have a ton of stuff but I have less then a lot of people I know but I can't find what I need due to space issues. SO the move is on for this upcoming couple of weeks. Thought about it for a year and it is time to act!

| Room is approximately 11.5'x14.6' |
This is a diagram of the room I am moving into and an idea I have for placement of things. The carts above with the papers will be housed in the closet and pulled out as I need them. There are a lot of what ifs with the room but I think I will be able to get everything out where I can get to it. I have a couple of fold-up tables that I can use when friends come over to play that I can put up in the center of the room because I will have space to spare there! The expedit will be come my cutting area for my BigShot Pro and the Vagabond will move too and from the desk as needed. Currently there is nothing in the Expedit or the File Cabinet which is a lateral 3 drawer that I plan to house all my 8 1/2" x 11" papers in plus some of the scrapbooking stuff. Any ideas you would care to share would be greatly appreciated! Of course I will take before and after pictures to share.
Want to see what I made this week....Tags of course.
These are the tags I will be teaching in my class later this month!
I got into the back to school mode thinking about what it had meant to me when my children were small. I was always up early (or late) drinking coffee and sewing, making dresses and shirts for them to wear to school. My son was about 10 years old when he told me he didn't mind me making him pajamas etc but he preferred we buy his clothes for school!! Okay! Mom days were on their way out!
That's it! Thanks for staying with me through the rambling cause it has really helped me get some ideas righted around in my head. Like I said suggestions are welcome!!! Have a great week.
