WOWYWW

Well it is a bit late as it is gone midnight so strictly speaking not Wednesday but as I am still up it is to me! 

Lots of Valentine's ideas in progress, see the Hero Arts hearts? I haven't actually used them before, and I have had them a long time, but I am still working on how to best use them. Lots of other bits going on, dried flowers and heart stickers which won't stick, and hopefully I will have some finished photos tomorrow and a heap of Valentine's cards ready to go to the shop.

I'm rearranging my craft room

I had the urge to rearrange my craft room last night, I can't stand it any longer. I am trying to come up with ways of putting everything tidy, so the bottom shelf of my teddy bear collection was emptied, and I put books from the cupboard on it.
I also had to squeeze the shelf up a bit, sorry teddies - you look a bit uncomfortable squashed in there!
Then I re-photographed any changed stamp boxes, and the new ones, and labelled them.
I have managed to get 8 boxes in the cupboard, but the other stuff in there now needs a new home.
Also the teddies need a new home!

I am going to put the UM stamp Lever Arch folders back in the cupboard and see if there is more room as I have 4 binders of Craft Stamper magazine and this years magazines to put in a binder. (got all the other mags but these are the only ones that I put in binders).




It would be nice to get all the clear stamp folders in the cupboard but more stuff will have to move.

I think the cuttlebug folders, not yet tried, can go in the purple boxes with the dies, also the spare plates for the die cutters - I actually have two eyelet setting plates for the Wizard, I think it only uses one and I haven't tried it out!

There is still a long way to go but I think it is getting better! Also if the boxes my son has for selling on Ebay go it will make a difference!

Today my son gave me back the network connector, so he can't go on Ebay and buy any more stuff when he is in his bedroom - methinks I should do the same before it is too late!

New Stash

Here is just some of my new stash, some second hand and some new stamps, and some pens and flowers!

I am not generally keen on little children with no mouths but I seem to have acquired one, she is a rag doll though, and rather cute!

Now last night I started organising my clear stamp sets, and found that a small "birthday" was missing.
Last seen next to "happy" on an acrylic block!

So I started searching through the pile of stuff the block was sitting on, no luck. Gave my rotary trimmer a good clean even under it, but nothing. Started lining up punches that needed to go away in a line on the trimmer and ..... I felt something on one of them..... yes it was "birthday"!

So having sorted out most of the clear stamps and decided I need another clear stamp wallet, and put the punches away apart from the set of three that won't fit I am now attempting to organise my wood mounted stamps into themes in the Tuff boxes.

I want to lay them all out on the lounge floor but DH is home for lunch so I will have to wait or manage in here, but there is not a lot of floor visible in here!

Messy Crafter Award

I entered a challenge on the Card Making and Papercraft Forum, which was run by Margaret (lonely crafter) and her Mum. Thanks very much (I think) ladies This is the photo that won it for me! The second photo is another view of the room at the same time.

The room is possibly slightly tidier now, as I bought new drawers but not a lot! This photo was taken in the middle of a tidying up exercise, or an attempt at it!

This is a later photo, I will take some more of how it is now!
