My Crafty Space

Hello Friends!  My dear friend Julie at A Little Bit of Bling just did some work to her craft room!  It looks fantastic!  I wish I had that much space!  She asked to see everyone's craft space by linking it up.  I thought since I've had a migraine every day this week and haven't been that crafty, I would show you some of my storage solutions in my space!   

Most people who come to craft with me are amazed to see how much stuff I can fit into my small space.  It is all about organization!  Hopefully someone, somewhere will find a storage solution for something in their space!

This is my cartridge storage and ribbon racks.  My ribbon hangs on curtain rods that are held up by the shelf mounts.  They are nice because when there are empty rolls, I can pull from either end or being a curtain rod, it comes apart in the center!  I hang My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon from the curtain clips.

I keep my most used tools in a Pampered Chef Tool Turnabout on my table.  All my adhesives (beside my ATG) are stored in the drawer that is right in front of where I sit (I did not take a pic but I'm sure you can imagine an adhesive junky's drawer full of goodies)! 

All my 12 x 12 paper pads are stored under my table.  I label them so when I am looking for something, I can grab it quickly.

Most of my clear stamps sit on my desk in this accordion folder.

I actually took this pic several months ago when I first started my blog.  There are a few more that I have added since then but they all do still fit and this gives you an idea of how it looks!  I have dreamed about a Clip It Up, but have since decided that this is more practical considering I can toss it easily off my desk if I need the space!

Glitter and Embossing Powder storage.  If you didn't see my post last week, this is a great way to store your glitter, because you can glitter in/over these containers and contain the mess!  No need to try to get your glitter back into your tube from a tray!

Another old picture.  This rack was from Sam's Club ($19.99).   I store my solid 12 x 12 cardstock and my open stock paper lines in here (my favorite buys at the LSS and they are the hardest to cut in to because I just love to look at them)!!  Again, I had dreamed of paper racks but I have found my paper corners stay nicer on these plus they have more coverage from the lights and anything that flies through the air in a house full of kiddos!

 

I hope you find some sort of storage solution that you can use in your space!  This is just a small glimpse of the obnoxious amount of my crafty treasures!  I am a little ashamed to admit that I used to have a bit of a shopping problem, but this blog has helped me confess to my addiction (See HERE) and has curtailed my spending habits!  I am proud to say that I have been using a lot more of my stuff now that I have people who want to see it and understand my obssession with it! Click on Julie's button and link up your craft area so everyone can check it out!  Thanks for stopping by!

Wanted: Little Green Cricut to Move into Our Home!!

I love watching all the videos/pics of Little Cricut's Adventures from many of you lucky peeps who went to CHA.  Robyn at My Pink Stamper is looking for a good home for one of her little guys!  I wish I could have one of these little cricuts so I wanted to show the little guy all the fun he could have here in our home!

First, here is my little "Love my Bug" card!  I just got Car Decals for my Birthday this week and I knew I needed to make some cards for all my friends who are new Cricut owners!  So if you fall into this category, this card is for you!!  He is going to be showing us around today, so Little Cricut, follow him as we see all the fun you could be having!

 Cricut and I share the same favorite stamp set, "Buggy Punnies"!  We keep it close at hand on the craft desk!

And this guys name is Box (I wish I could blame that name on my kids but unfortunatley for him, it is my husbands fault)!  You Little Cricut, like us, will have to share a bed with this guy!  Don't worry...he is old, slow and afraid of his own shadow!  He is also warm and fuzzy and loves to sleep all day!  He'll keep your spot warm! 

We have a bathroom that is just your size!! 

And a kitchen too!! 

And of course there is always Ice Cream in the freezer.  Look it is your color!!

If you get bored with the Barbies living in your house, you can always head next door to the other house! 

Where the hot tub is always ready for a relaxing afternoon! 

You can play in my craft area anytime of the day or night you like! 

There is always plenty of paper for you to cut... 

and look you found the scraps right there... 

yes, there is some more paper in there... 

and my goodness Little Cricut, you've found some more paper over here!! 

There are plenty of Cartridges for you to play with although I would love to collect some more with you! 

Yes, that dresser is full of Stamps for you to use... 

and if you are missing your friend Robyn, you can find some of her love right here!! 

Oh you sneaky Little Cricut!  What did you sniff out over there? 

Yes, that is another pack of paper hiding under there that I bought yesterday, but I promise it is the last I will ever buy (hehe)!! 

These are just a few fun reasons why you should come live with us Little Cricut!  There are many more fun reasons, so tell your friend Robyn that you want to come check them out for yourself!!  We would love you forever and ever!  Thanks for stopping by!
