Happy Monday!!!
How are you doing for a Monday? I was able to spend several glorious {use your most sarcastic tone} hours cleaning my crafty space....more on that in a smidge...
Onto some craftiness...
Ahhhh.....why yes that is MME, again:) Do you notice something a bit different? That sweet butter colored crochet bloom is ala Alice {thanks sista!! patting myself on my back for not hoarding}.
My inspiration is the latest OCC sketch:
Some of you might remember me saying that I've been in a long process of dehoarding...I was essentially spending several hours picking out things that I wanted to sell, not cleaning or organizing at all. Well, for some reason I decided to start cleaning and organizing while still dehoarding...translation...pure madness....I only share these pics because so many of you have done the same...opened your home to the blogging world to catch a glimpse of where you work...I should insert here that this is when the cleaning process had ALREADY started...I always make a bigger mess when I clean...{WHY is that??!!} Why yes, that is my work top...I managed to huck a bunch of 'schtuff' on it during my cleaning process...trying to figure out if it was a keep/toss/donate or sell item....LOL...yes, that is a beanie baby bear {sherry spotted her}....she has a Canadian flag on her {woot woot!}.Something I discovered...these punches can stand up...hahaha...{smacking my forehead!}...
Yup, I have all of these marvy punches too...no nesties...yet...feel guilty going to another system when I've already dropped a bundle on the marvies:)
Here you go...several hours later...sheesh, there IS a work top underneath all that schtuff!
The floor is clean! Okay, so I may have shoved some other things out of the picture..muwahahaha...but I seriously got a bunch of stuff done....I decided to liquidate all my 48+ SU pads...a ton of embellies...like a ton of stuff...oy....I have the opportunity to do 2 garage sales over the next couple of months so I hope to move a majority of my stuff then. The last couple weeks I've felt like the USPS office has been my 2nd home...not complaining since I have been able to sell a bunch of stuff of my blog and SCS but it IS time consuming considering that I work full time/ have 2 kids and good grief, I'm a paper crafting blogger...enough said:)
Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed a partial tour of my area:) I totally wasn't expecting to show you pics but since it basically took most of my weekend, I wanted to blog it for my own sake:)

I finally put that paper sorter together that is on my desk {this last pic was taken a couple hours after the one above}...oh man, I love it...all my other pieces are Store-in-Style...they cost way more but I like the generic brand better {it's what Target carries but I bought mine at my local craft shop}...way easier to put together and NO glue...So there you go...my crafty area...okay, one part of it...I'll show my other areas later....but basically a glorified hallway.

wow, i love the finished product! i always clean, then it gets dirty again either when i make something or buy something or get something from a friend...ahh...my place looks crazy crazy right now.
have a great monday, amy!
*hugs*
steph :)
Gal, you have a lot of stuff! ;)
Wow, after seeing the pictures you sent yesterday I am amazed at how good it looks now. My craftroom on a good day never looks like yours. I am a wee bit jealous.
Wow girl...you sure had a time with your craft room hu? I have the same cubes from Target/Michaels. That is what my whole area is made of. They are great for keeping my stuff organized. :)
Love your blog! I always love seeing people's craft space and how they work. Mine can look like the first few pics a few times and then I feel the urge to clean. It is not messy if you know where everything is right? Anyway love all of the different types of background paper you used on that card, and really love the umbrellas. Toooo Cute!

goodness girl your on a cleaning roll :) way to go !!!
Mishy
You're good...what a lovely clean craft room..mine doesn't stay this clean for a half day even..lol.
Have a great day!
You are such a good influence on me! I would not know where to begin with photos....my space is an entire upper floor of the house! (GAAH!!!)
And yes, I will join you on SATURDAY for the festivities... translation: GET THE BUTT in GEAR and pack up things to sell!! Let me know details (time, address, etc). Do I need to bring anything?
Hugs for sharing, Girlie! I may do that someday...
AND, What are your teardrop inks stored on? I hate that they are a strange shape which is hard for me to store. For now I put mine into a little box....not very accessible compared to other inkpads. :(
Nice job though, Amy!
so WELLLLLLLLLLL DONE you for doing such an amazing and thorough job AND being brave enough to show it!!! WOW!!! you SO ROCK, missus!!!
(ps: the birdie card is fabbbbbbbulous also!) ♥
Your space is lookin' good!!
I think I have to dehoard quite soon too.... but maybe not so soon :P And your card is so cute! The little umbrellas & the crochet flowers! :D
