WOYWWW # 816 - I'm Back!

 Good morning, crafty friends!@

I have missed you all so much.

I left the blogs & YouTube back in July to focus on getting the craft room in order rather than adding to the chaos on a weekly basis. Oh, I was still creating but not for those platforms but mostly for challenges trying to win/ earn more free product. LOL Go figure!

Before cluttering my desk up yesterday I made Valentines from a past Paper Pumpkin kit. I'm determined to work through all of them this year, get them out of here and the stamp sets in with the rest of my very organized stamps.

The chaos is still here but I finally have destinations for everything and am slowly getting areas in order.

Here's my desk as of this morning but will be cleared by this afternoon. 

Obviously not staged for the photo LOL. This all came off the window ledge I'm going to show you next. I will sort, pitch and find a new way to store everything here as soon as I finish this...

I wanted to move my paper sewing machine over to the crafting corner so it's available for sewing around tags, journal covers, etc. Before this it was on the total opposite end of the room in the sewing corner. I have a fabric machine for over there.

The empty unit to the right of the machine is where my ink pads go. I'll also fill in the stamp pad slots above with most used ribbon spools then the rest will go in the ribbon drawers on bobbins by color.

To the left of the machine is a Recollections organization piece I think is going away. Just takes up too much room. I'm going to try moving it to my journaling corner but if that doesn't work then I'll put it in the thrift box.

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’s Craft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.

 

Creative Blessings!

WELCOME TO 2025!!!

 Good morning!!

Yes, I'm finally back. I've spent the past six and a half months making sense of my studio. The work is not done but I have a clue as to what needs to go where and is now a matter of putting away. I've pitched A LOT! In reality, I probably should pitch more. We'll see as I go.

I have things lined up in my planner as to what needs to go where and what I'm resurrecting. While I get a blog post ready for that, I wanted to let you know the first Card Summit of 2025 is coming up this weekend!

Cardmaking Stash Summit Link

This year's summit focuses on using what we have! Now that's a summit I think we could all use.

Even if you're not a cardmaker, the techniques and supplies will work with just about any paper medium you work in. This is an affiliate link for Tiffany Solorio. I featured her studio on my blog last year. 

That link will take you to the sign-up page for this FREE event (though may choose to purchase the extended access for a small fee). You'll also be able to see who all the presenters are and their topics. 

Rummage through your stash and come play along!

Until next time....

Creative Blessings!
