They all make sense. I’m too wimpish to dump anything I haven’t used after 10 seconds though!! I’d have a heart attack! I HAVE had a big clear-out of papers and card etc, which has made me realise I’m throwing away money,so have curbed my spending somewhat.

I have just organised my ribbons…again! *sigh*. I have found a plastic bag with a good zip on that I’ve punched holes all over with my Crop-a-dile. Threaded through all the ribbon I have that isn’t on a reel and I now have a full bag of ribbon that won’t tangle when pulled through and is easily seen. (It looks quite nifty too). ;0)

Another tip is, instead of buying purpose made storage sheets for UM stamps, I laminate card and punch out holes to attach to a ring binder. Cheap and cheerful!

If I am making something every day, it should eat away at my stash. Perhaps, like my pantry, once my favorite things are gone, I can get creative with the interesting things that are left.

The word for me this year is “change”. Which means, for one thing, I must change how I handle my craft room. So I have started the long process so that I can just jump in and make a card instead of hunting for all the goodies.
I am about 3/4 of the way organized. Hopefully this week will see time for a card.
