This seemed like a really good idea at the time - I have containers full of stuff that I have never used, baskets crammed with everything you can think off from fabric to metal pieces, canvases waiting for paint, shoe boxes containing embossing folders that are so full the lids have to be tied up with string - oh and a complete mess of rubber stamps, embossing powders, inks etc etc etc dumped in drawers that are stacked 8 high on either end of the craft desk.
I am worn out and nowhere near finished! But - I CAN SEE THE TOP OF MY DESK - Yay!!!!!!! (Can't see the floor tho' - cos it's full of bin liners and carrier bags marked - 'sell?', 'charity bag', 'bin'.)
'very important and can't live without '
stash and I promise I will post a couple of pics once I am finished - this mightn't be for a while yet................... but I am absolutely determined to sort out this room!!! (Or at least my half of it - HIS half is exceptionally tidy... how sickening.....LOL)Thought though I would post a 'Blue Peter' effort - made last week for my own stash -
Quick and simple - white linen cardstock ran through an embossing folder then matted onto blue card then white, scrap of blue card trimmed to fit the centre of the embossed area matted onto silver mirri card, a (very old) Christmas stamp, silver embossing powder and a couple of silver bells - and yes they do 'jingle'!!!!!

This is really pretty and sweet ... and I somehow know the feeling of trying to sort things out but then you get sidetracked because all of sudden you find this wonderful stamp and some paper scraps and then you just HAVE to do something with them ... (lol) Have a lovely weekend, Petra.
Your card is very elegant Viv, I like the clean and simple design the embossing and the jingle bells, when you have finished your craft room you can come and help me with mine, I know there is a desk in there somewhere lol.

Such a lovely card Viv,very classy ! I had a major tidy up/clean/sort/new shleves 'do' of my craft room this summer, looks a lot better. I still have two large plastic boxes sitting here waiting for me to sort through more drawers to get rid of more stuff. BUT since it all looks tidy the will to do it has gone now.....must just 'do' it !!!! good luck with the sorting Viv :) Viv xx
