Time to Tidy up the Craft Room

Hi Crafters

Well here we are on day 3 of Lock down and I am taking the opportunity to clear out some of my craft stashes

At the base of the craft cupboard are 2 stacks of drawers each  stack has 5 drawers and over the last year they have had a couple of tidies but nothing like today, when I emptied every drawer and reorganised them.
I sorted one set of drawers aside for stacks of card starting with lose 12 x 12, then paper stacks, Specialist papers such as hand made and acetates, water-colour pads etc and Specialist card such as pearlised and mirror cards, and lastly 8 x 8 pads and some finished cards

The other set of drawers were then tidied into Christmas embellishments, Flowers, beads and brads, metal embellishments and some project stamps and dies and on the top minicards and some project emphemera.

Some items and papers were packed up to give away, and I am happy to say there is a little more room to move around the drawers.

I also sorted out the box that holds my 6 x 6 pads. This excercise took a couiple of hours but is a great reminder of all the things you have, and sometimes whilst tidying you get some inspiration of projects you want to try. I have decided to make some pretty clipboards with a set of notelets and a decorative clip for swaps and giveaways and I will post pictures when these are done.

I have started making a list of projects that I see on YouTube that I want to try, it is not very long at the moment because as soon as I list it I want to make it, and with all the self isolation lots of new makes are sitting on the desk.

More laminated projects
A couple of double frame cards 
A mini notelet and tag set 
Some seed packets I downloaded from Pinterest 

Also if you are taking the time to read this post, you may be interested to know that Lidl have some watercolour pens in their Easter Craft items, 8 colours for £2.49. I also bought some wooden decorations and have adjusted some of them to decorate the paperclips to go on the clipboards I am going to make.
