OH. MY. HELLS... One might ask, "How does this happen?" Friends, Crafters, ANYONE! Please tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to! Life was hectic. I wasn't able to craft as often as I would like. However, I did make it to a few (using this term lightly LOL) sales, friends gifted me items and fabulous companies sent me loads of amazing product. I did complete my projects that needed to be done, I just worked in my living room. But purchases, deliveries and leftover products were all just dropped in my craft room. I just dropped and walked out, closing the door to the ever growing piles behind me! The time has come people... This has got to stop!!! It's going to take a lot of strength. I am a hoarder of all things crafty! (Hey-the first step is admitting it!) I am going to de-stash. I'm also going to need a little help from friends. I have a problem getting rid of my supplies. I can always come up with a way I "might" use something one day. I have 1 or 2 friends in mind that are strong enough to say "No you won't, you will just keep storing it!" This is serious...the struggle is real. I must pass on some of my goodies. Believe it or not, I already gave away 2 huge boxes full. But then I got busy with other things and closed the door again. NOT THIS TIME! I can do it! Madge is getting her fabulous studio all finished up which is a great inspiration. (And creates large doses of envy. It's a good thing I know that I can craft there anytime I want :) More pics of that will be coming soon!
We are going on a sun and sand filled vacation. I can get my mind wrapped around what needs to be done and when we get back, IT IS ON! I'm organizing, sorting, cleaning out and Donating! It must be done. I want my craft room back. If for no other reason than my sanity! (Let's get real, that's a far stretch!) I would really like to use this room for it's intended purpose! It can be done...It will be done...Wish me luck! And when I come out on the other side, there will be an entirely different group of pictures I have to share!

This is how my room looked, when I had one. Now I don't . I got rid of so much and I have to limit what I have since I now scrap in my bedroom.

Attach all the items you will use to the project you will use them in, and all others re-gift in prizes or sell in purging boxes or donate. Make sure you create a file with references to the projects so you can find it easily. And if you don't have time to do this take a picture of what you had and let go physically. If you miss it, look at the picture.
