It’s no secret that my craft room is the home to all the unloved furniture, thrift store finds, dollar store deals, and yard sale goodies that I’ve collected over the years. While I don’t have one of those beautiful professionally designed and constructed craft rooms that we all drool over on Pinterest and the organizing Facebook groups we… Read More »
The cold, hard reality of crafting is that we need to keep our supplies organized. I don’t know about you, but I don’t personally find that particularly interesting or fun. I just need to do it. I really need to do it more than once a month. I can’t work on a table that looks like this: That’s… Read More »
Once a month I try to spend some time cleaning up in my craft room. I can’t work on a messy table, so my actual work table gets cleaned off every day. Sometimes it is before I start for the day and sometimes when I’m done. One thing that I do have trouble keeping up with is the… Read More »
Last winter was long, cold, and dreary. It was the first time I ever thought I might be suffering from seasonal affective disorder. I just found the entire season to be dark and bleak. Needless to say, when I found Altenew Academy and started taking online crafting classes it perked me right up! It’s amazing how learning something… Read More »

I did a blog post a few days ago about organizing my stamp sets. I have been using this system for almost a year after watching a video by Jennifer McQuire and then subsequently several videos recommending the same storage system by several other stampers. It is really working for me! I converted a good portion of my… Read More »

I have had a week full of meetings, a random late afternoon blizzard, and craft room chores. My craft room chores are the kind of chores I really enjoy. I organized my stamps today. As you know, my husband and I downsized to a smaller home a little less than two years ago. We went from a small… Read More »
I mean, really. Is a craft space ever done? I don’t even think that I could define done for my space. I don’t have a vision for some dream space. I’m more of a reactionary craft space “decorator”. I buy new stuff and need to find a place to put it. Thank goodness for Stamp-n-Storage. They must love… Read More »
Instead of being creative today, I decided to tidy up my craft room. Once every other week or so, I catch up on the chores around my crafting space. I organize any stamps, dies and stencils that I purchased by putting them into my stamp and die storage envelopes and filing them in the fridge bins by company.… Read More »
I love that many of the stamp companies have monthly releases of new products. The drawback of course is that I spend too much money of new craft supplies to play with! The wonderful thing about it is that I am crafting every spare minute! I’m loving that I am trying so many new techniques and tools that… Read More »
I shared a post and a video two days ago about how I was creating an Ink Swatch Ring for my Catherine Pooler Inks. You can see that post HERE. I’ve been working on those swatches for 3 days!! I’m not only making swatches, I’m labeling my ink pads and attaching Velcro to hold the blender foam pads… Read More »
Many years ago when I started paper crafting, my sister created a ring of card stock samples for me for Christmas one year. She used a pretty punch and punched and labeled every different color of card stock that Stampin’ Up! carried and then organized them on a ring. This has been a very handy tool for me… Read More »
I’ve been keeping my sequins in the packages that they come in when I purchase them. Most of them come in zip type bags and that has been pretty convenient. Well, mostly. Now that my collection is growing I find that I need a new system. I remember some storage pieces that I had purchased for my daughters… Read More »
After a flurry of two weeks of focusing on trying new techniques and making cards, it was time to get back to work unpacking and organizing. I’ve made so much progress since installing my sticky tile floor over Thanksgiving. I’m so happy that I added the sticky tiles to the concrete floor. It just feels cleaner and finished. … Read More »
