Whew!

Today I made a decision to do something that I've been meaning to do for what seems like forever. Don't you hate it when you keep telling yourself that you need to do something, like clean up your craft room, and it keeps getting put off? Well, that's what has happened until yesterday when I attempted to walk into the room and came to the realization that I had nothing but a bare little hog trail to walk in. There's stuff all over the floor where I just dumped it after shopping trips and I know there was a table here not too long ago, but now all I see is, well, STUFF. And it's EVERYWHERE! Time to Clean! I'll have to post before and after pics... Seriously, you won't believe it unless you see the evidence. So, anyway, that's how I spent my Saturday, shoveling crafty stuff off the floor, table, shelves, chairs, hutch, heck, I even had to detangle Teensy from a ball of string a couple of times in the process. But I've gotten a great start on it and can see the actual floor and most of the flat spaces too. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it tomorrow and get the pics posted. So, now for a question... After looking at several pics of nice and neatly organized craft spaces on Splitcoast Stampers tonight, I wonder...
Is it just ME that can't seem to keep a craft area clean and straight?

Hugs!

Oh Jenn,
Yes you are the only one. I would never have things piled and pushed out of my way so that I can't even find a roll of tape. Boxes opened and things pouring out of them. Everything I own are put in it's place and stays there. If you would like to look at a picture of that you can go back on my blog to about mid Janurary.Maybe it will help.

My husband just rolls his eyes when he walks into the room with my craft table. I have bought scrapbooking carts and bags and crates, and still my table is covered with scissors, paper scraps, stamp inks, etc. And each organizer is just piled with stuff. I want to be organized, but just can;t seem to get there.

PUH-lease. You are not the only one and Jerri knows it! *grin*
I am a messy scrapper and that has actually kept me from working more. I just get so INVOLVED and the mess just gets so BIG.

I don't know how I missed this post, by the way, but this is the first time I saw it. Any hoo, glad to know I am not the only messy out there. Jennifer
