During my Urge to Purge challenge (purging stage), I re-purposed a blue basket as a "quick fix." I.e. cards/projects that were not quite finished. By the end of the purge, this basket is nearly overflowing with partially completed cards and treat boxes. In an attempt to keep calm during this busy holiday season, I decided to get a start on my Christmas thank you notes. Thanks to my purge, I happened upon these card fronts (Memory Box stamps) that I tossed in my blue basket. Today I cut my white card bases and stamped "thank you" (Denami Designs stamp). Six cards in less than one hour...love that!
I completed my Urge to Purge challenge two weeks ago! This was my plan:
Phase I: Purge
Phase II: Re-organize.
I did this in three parts: a) my craft room, b) my craft room closet, c) the stuff piled just outside of my craft room.
Since I am pretty organized, the re-organization was completed rather quickly. See the piles of stuff (post purge...pre-organization) before & after pictures:
These are my AFTER pictures of my closet. You may recall in my BEFORE picture posted last month that I could not walk in the closet to get to the wrapping paper in the back!
Now I can breathe...my craft room is once again the happy place I love.
Happy Sunday!
