I do this almost every time I go to a crop...I halfway finish a few layouts (usually 2-3) and then decide I don't have the right product, decide I NEED to clean my scrap area....bring all my stuff home from the crop....then a month later I'm bringing my unpacked "crap" back to the next crop and repeating the cycle....a cycle which of course includes buying MORE stuff....because it's new and cute and I must have it! So today (well, technically yesterday and we'll get to that in a min....because it is 2:13AM and why is Kristi still up???) I went to a crop at
Our Paper Place, small but mighty and scrapped with a few of my croppin' buddies,
Marie,
Michelle,
Suzy, Trisha, Ashley, and more. We had an hour to wrap up and I found myself starting to organize (yes, I said it, organize) my scrapbook supplies. I found myself just itching to get home, so I could start to tackle my "craft closet" and my craft space. Fact is, it's been such chaos that I haven't even wanted to be in here. I mean, I'm so lucky to have a crafty boyfriend and an entire room dedicated to creativity yet I can't even pull it together to get it to a place where I can enjoy it! What's wrong with me!? (Don't answer that, please.) So here it is, 2:18AM and although I've got a long way to go I'm feeling a major sense of accomplishment. What I wish I had done was take a picture before I started at this mess, but alas, I did not. Instead here's a picture of it right now. (Hold on while I go get my camera, switch the lens to my fisheye, and upload the pics....don't go anywhere....because I'll know!)
Okay, you still here? LOL. Here's my creative space as it stands now...


So tomorrow I hope to take some photos of layouts and projects I've been working (or had done) on for quite some time and just never posted. After Jarid & my day date I hope to spend the day in my step in the direction of order and cleanliness craft room continuing to organize and maybe, just maybe, finish some layouts! So until tomorrow, thanks for stoppin by!
First off, it's not that messy. Second, I much rather create than clean so that's why MY space looks like it does. Good luck on the cleaning process!
