I don't know about you, but when I am hot, I don't want to do much of anything. That's been the case the last week or so. It's finally cooling down to the high 80's so that's a lot more tolerable.
I spent most of yesterday cleaning and re organizing my stamp room/office. At least it's air conditioned :-)
But, no matter how many ways I organize and clean.....the problem is, there still isn't enough room. The fact remains, it IS what it IS. I can't make more room so I am going to have to get rid of a lot of 'stuff'. The funny thing is....as soon as I get rid of something....that's when I NEED it!
I did manage to get my stamp table less cluttered by removing a couple of organizers and a Pampered Chef Turnaround. I won't get rid of that, but at least it freed up some much needed space to work at. The two wooden organizers that held various things that I felt I needed right at my fingertips.....will be delegated to the garage. I found that I didn't use those 'finger tip items' as much as I had thought. So, they are in Rubbermaid organizers on a shelf unit to the right of my stamp desk. Still easy access yet not taking up valuable space.
I am not ready to put things back in place, just yet. I am still considering what to do with other things that are taking up space yet I don't need them every week.
I promised my Granddaughter that when I got the stamp room clean and organized, we'd stamp. But, this morning, I realized that this might not get totally accomplished before she has to return home. So, we will stamp tomorrow, regardless!!! And, I'll post photos of a clean/reorganized stamp room, later. Yeah right!
Hope you all are staying cool, some way or another!
Here is a card that I did for my last FUNshop. I got the idea from two different blogs. I used the orange slice idea from one blog and then copied the directions from Patty's Stamping Spot
As you can see, I changed it a little and called it a Creamsicle Card but it's a fun card to make! And, instantly makes you feel 'cooler'. :-)
How funny-I like the bite out of the corner!
ReplyDeleteLove the card... very cute! I have even less space thank you do... mine is always a mess!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI find my space is a mess too, but that usually helps with my inspiration...:) Crazy hu? Love these kinds of cards, I bet I will get to make one in December...(it will always work for next year!) Have fun stamping!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat were you doing at my home? And taking pics? ohhhh ! Wait! There's something amiss here. lol. My desk have a thing over where I have more boxes with scraps and stamps, etc. lol. Good to know you weren't sneaking on me. lol.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!! What if you did a floor to ceiling shelf along a wall? You could use braces on the studs and 1X12 boards. Paint them a bright color that goes with your room. Zoey could help you paint the boards too (in the evening OUTSIDE! LOL )
ReplyDeleteI keep organizing only to find that it "doesn't work" and I have to organize again. I think I just need more space too! Love the popsicle card. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, your crafty area looks immaculate compared to mine! I envy your neatness. Must post some pics of my own disaster area soon...
ReplyDeleteI have to face it. I'm a natural disaster.... : (
The call them ice lollies in the UK, which sounds much more boring. I miss popsicles!!!
This is a fabulous creation!!!
ReplyDeleteChar you don't need to get rid of anything, you need to put shelves on the walls! You have TONS of storage space, just look up!!!! I know, I am vertically challenged but moving up gives so much more space so it was worth investing in a step stool ;)
ReplyDeleteI am organizing my area, too. Must just be something in the air, huh? LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I made some of those cute popsicle cards, too! You know what they say? Great minds think alike! LOL
Hugs,
