I have a durable clear plastic container from Michael's (Iris is the manufacturer). It is large enough to hold 12x12 papers and it is about 4" high. I use it to store all of my Halloween-themed paper collections, rub-ons, ribbon, etc. I have not been able to close the container for the past couple of months! I purged the container on Friday. I made a small pile of the scraps from paper collections that no longer inspire me. I also have two K&Co. Halloween-themed small paper pads and die cuts. I coordinated these K&Co. cute monsters with the paper pads to create these treat bag toppers. My children have several food sensitivities, so I purchase organic lollipops, organic gummy bears, organic sour patch kids, and organic chocolate for Halloween. When they are at school I take the treat bags around to our neighbors to give to my children when we come trick or treating. I have two more bags to make, but I thought I would take a break and blog :)
I have been slowly purging my craft room. So far you have only seen the wall opposite my work station. Today I purged my entire work station. This is actually the BEFORE picture. All of the shelves and drawers look a lot better now, but not the top work surface. All I have left to purge is the bookcase and the corner (back left in picture.) My goal is to finish purging both by the end of the day on Wednesday.
Have a happy Halloween!

Adorable treat bags!!! and you are doing a great job on your room. I took the weekend off but I am getting back to work tomorrow.
Adorable teat bags and so sweet of you to give the teats to the neighbors so they have the correct treats to give. Food sensitivities are so hard to have.
Keep up the great work o your purging!

These are so cute! Great idea for scraps. TFS Cathie
That's what I forgot to tell you!! I make soooooo many lo's... lol.. (I am a gluten for punishment! lol!) that I could no longer justify buying actual scrapbooks... so I use those containers you are talking about to hold all my lo's! Much cheaper than books! Loveeeeeeee those treat holders!! Tooooooooooooo cute! :):):):):):):):):):):)
You did a great job with those scraps- these are sooooo cute! You are my purging hero! :)Amy
LOVE The creative space my friend and what a great creation to share :)
I just love your treat bag toppers June. They are ADORABLE! I was all geared up to make treats for my co-workers, and here is it Halloween. No treats from me! Did you have snow down there? I could not believe how much we got here in NJ! I am jealous of your purging. I have so much I want to get rid of, but I can't seem to get it done, and so much I don't know what to even do with - I can't throw it away. I am going to sit down and read all of your UTP posts and get some ideas. Your craft room is coming out great! Happy Halloween!
THose treat bags are SO inspired!!! LOVE them!!!! And go girl go on the purging!!!
Super cute treat bags! I've been enjoying reading your purging successes every day! Keep it up!
Cute treat bags.
Purging...the story of our lives. When I purge, the pile seems to go to the other side of the room. Not anymore, I purge the right way...give it to someone that will use it. Great job on the Craft room. Can't wait for the updates.
