SOME PROGRESS ON MY SCRAPROOM DISASTER!

OK... SO I HAVE WORKED ALL DAY AND MANAGED TO GET A LOT DONE IN MY ROOM. IT IS NOWHERE NEAR DONE, BUT ITS GETTING THERE. THE FIRST THING I DID WAS GET OUT THE BOXES THAT WERE PACKED AND I WASNT GOING TO USE. I LEFT ONLY 2 SHELVES WITH PACKED BOXES, AS THESE HAVE PAPER THAT I MIGHT USE... AND I RAN OUT OF ROOM IN MY SAUNA FOR STORAGE. (THANK YOU ROCK!!) HERE IS WHAT MY SAUNA LOOKS LIKE NOW! IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICTURES, IT WILL ENLARGE THEM FOR YOU.



THESE ARE THE BEFORES AND AFTERS:

GLITTERS: I HAD THEM ALL OVER MY ROOM IN DIFFERENT AREAS. I SORTED THROUGH THEM, PACKED UP THE DOUBLES OR ONES I KNEW I WOULDNT USE NOW, AND GOT IT DOWN TO ONE CONTAINER AND A DISPOSABLE TUPPERWARE!



RIBBONS: I HAVE ABOUT 500 SPOOLS OF RIBBON ALREADY PACKED AND DECIDED TO KEEP THEM THAT WAY! I HAD BOUGHT SOME MORE SINCE I PACKED AND WENT FROM BINS TO SHELVES AND PACKED UP DOUBLES AND ITEMS I KNEW I WOULDNT USE:




INK PADS: I HAD THEM IN WIRE BASKETS BY COLOR- DIDNT WORK FOR ME... SO I WENT FROM BASKETS TO CONTAINERS BY TYPE/BRAND. THAT IS HOW I USE MY INK PADS... DONT ASK ME... BUT I DO :).



NOW THEY ARE BACK ON THE SHELVES WITH THE GLITTERS, PEARL X, MICRO BEADS (WHICH I ALSO GOT DOWN TO ONE CONTAINER TODAY!) RE-INKERS, ETC... I AM STILL NOT HAPPY ABOUT HOW THE INK PADS ARE... SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.. LET ME KNOW!



FIBERS: I HAVE HAD MY FIBERS IN ONE OF THOSE POSTAL BOXES ( I HAVE 3 OF THEM, TRIED TO RETURN THEM 6 TIMES TO THE POST OFFICE, AND THEY WONT TAKE THEM! SO I USED THEM.. LOL)... THE FIBERS ARE OVER-FLOWING, HARD TO GET TO, HARD TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE... SO I BOUGHT SOME CUTE LITTLE CONTAINERS AND ONLY PUT IN WHAT I COULD FIT.. I SORTED BY COLORS AND PACKED THE REST AWAY! I LOVE HOW THESE TURNED OUT! I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SEE MY FIBERS!



BUT THE BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT I DID TODAY WAS SORTING MY SWAP ITEMS, VELLUM QUOTE STACKS/SAYINGS & DIE CUTS! WHEW... THAT WAS A TOUGH ONE! I GOT RID OF A COMPLETE BIN OF ITEMS I KNOW I WONT USE. (THANKS AGAIN ROCK!!!) I WENT FROM 3 LAUNDRY BASKETS, 2 POST OFFICE CONTAINERS, AND A SMALLER BIN TO 3 POST OFFICE CONTAINERS. AND I VOW TO STOP SWAPPING UNTIL I RUN OUT OF WHAT I HAVE AND ONLY JOIN SWAPS I KNOW I WILL USE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 MONTHS!



I ALSO UNPACKED MY SIZZIX, PAPER PUNCHES, STAPLERS, STAPLES, (I MISSED THEM SO MUCH!) MISC TOOLS, AND SOME OTHER LITTLE STUFF.. I AM DONE WITH THE UNPACKING! I AM LEAVING EVERYTHING ELSE PACKED.
KEEP WATCHING MY BLOG FOR UPDATES AND MORE ACCOMPLISHMENTS! THIS MONTH WILL BE ABOUT ME GETTING MY ROOM BACK IN ORDER! THAT'LL TEACH ME TO PACK A YEAR IN ADVANCE!

HAVE A GREAT ONE!
