Recently they were selling different sorts of storage boxes and containers at the discounter's. As I need space to put all my crafty things in, I bought another large set of boxes, and a box with lots of little drawers - meant for screws and nails etc - and thought they would be a good idea. They lived for the first few days in the car, as I needed to think about what to put where. Then I put them into the hallway, where I was able to fall over them regularly for a few days. And then - yesterday I got down to work! Now I have a set of three boxes, which take a load of stuff that was flying about, neatly stored, and I have written lists to hang on the wall, reminding me where I have put what. And In the little set of drawers I have been able to put most of my inks and cut and dry foam for blending. Looks much better than having them spill about all over the place. I have even organised the inks in colours, so I will be able to find them easily.
I am soooooooooooooo proud of myself!
So after I had recovered from the tidying, I rewarded myself with making a card for a friend. As it turned out to be browns and creams, I have decided to enter it into the
Gingersnaps *Coffee and Cream* challenge as a second entry. The background script stamp is one of my faves, but it was languishing in a dark corner till I discovered it again yesterday....along with several other forgotten treasures!
Thanks for looking, have a good day, and take care of yourselves!
Love this one, gorgeous colours, and well done on clearing up! Hugs, Sarah and kids

Ah, it's beautiful, Valerie, although I'm a bit worried about it balancing so far on the edge of your balcony! Good job it's not windy over there. Well done on the organising, nice to have a place for everything. CoB
