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’ve been working on some organizing videos as I set up my craft room and put my systems into place. I’ve been living with some new organizing systems for about 5 months now. In that 5 month period of time, I’ve determined that some systems are working really well and others aren’t. I’ve actually changed some things multiple… 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 »
We got hit with a blizzard today so I had the gift of a snow day which I spent in my craft room…not crafting! Instead, I elected to get one more spot organized. This is my cutting station. I like having a separate spot for my Big Shot and Cricut. You can see the shelves that my… Read More »
A day spent organizing will hopefully make future days of creativity more creative and relaxing. Over Thanksgiving I finished putting my craft room floor down and moving the furniture into the places where I wanted it to go. My husband helped me hang some shelves and storage pieces and I’ve been working to get this room functional ever… Read More »
This week’s craft room organizing mission: Papers! If you asked me what my biggest organizing challenge might be in my house, I would tell that it’s the paper mess. So much paper comes into the house and it seems like I just keep making new piles of it! I find it especially challenging to keep papers organized in… Read More »
Your mission if you choose to accept it: Gather your Big Shot tools, clean them up and put them away! Join me over the next few weeks as I organize my craft room, one step at a time. I’m not talking about doing a marathon session to get it all done at once. I’m also not talk… Read More »
