Sticker Storage

I am a scrapbook sticker fiend. In fact, if it weren’t for Jolee’s Boutique 3D stickers, I probably wouldn’t be an avid scrapper.

Great Scrapbooking Storage Solutions (2)

Organizing is an obsession for me. It became that way several years ago, when I realized how much stuff I had. Not just scrapbooking supplies, but just stuff in general. I had three households of furniture in one house. I was having trouble parting with certain items, because of their sentimental value. And others I had trouble parting with because I knew how much money I had put into the item. However, what I finally realized, was that I was costing myself more money, by needlessly storing items I didn’t use, purchasing duplicates of items I already owned (let’s not … Continue reading →

I have always been an avid crafter. I love to paint, create with clay, draw and build. Needless to say, I have a pretty chaotic craft room, or as my husband not-so-politely calls it…a “crap” room.

Suddenly my already crazy craft room was also filled with preschooler essentials like coloring books, crayons, beads, buttons, tissue paper, and left over toilet paper rolls.
