The Clean Up The Craft Room Project is well underway and if all goes well, I should be able to get into some scrapbooking in a week or so. As the room as been slowly emptied and cleared of clutter a few things have become apparent. I have a huge craft room - I think it's about 10 feet by 12 feet. No joke. I have masses of workspace - well at least I will by the time the desks are cleared properly. Space is seriously NOT a problem. But storage is. My Bazzill collection is under control. Dad made me this groovy little box about 18 months ago and it works like a charm. Stamps are sorted and I have a place for stickers/punches/adhesives/tools and all the doodads like an embossing gun that don't really fit anyplace else. Beyond that: nada. Everything is sort of stacked. Or boxed in shoe boxes where I can't see it. If I can't see it, I don't use it and then I buy more stuff, which I have no place to put so it gets shoved in a box. Then I can't see it so I don't use it and I buy more stuff and...
The other thing is that while I might have been blessed with many things - a wonderful husband and two delightful-when-they-are-not-bickering children, I don't have a decorative bone in my body. The craft room doesn't and never has looked interesting. Or beguiling. Or even just pretty. Rather a lot like my scrapbook pages really. Of all the things I could have had in life, a hint of the interior designer is the bit I really covet.
BTW if anyone has a good idea about how to store, arrange and organise photo albums...real ones, not digital ones, I'd be really glad to hear them.
