Morning folks...and before you know Wednesday comes around again and it's time to play along with Julia and all her crafty chums at WOYWW. No more sneaky peeks of demo cards to show because the crafty girl has been well and truly sidetracked in a mad organisation moment....why do I get these ideas popping into my head when I am knee deep in other stuff. Cast your mind back several months when I reorganised all my clear stamp sets into A5 file folders....thought it was a brilliant idea at the time but they are now all bursting at the seams and no room at the inn for all the new boys from Hero Arts. Happened to spot these Really Useful Boxes reduced in Tesco at the weekend....perfect size...lots of space to hold oodles of clear stamp sets and clings and I can see at a glance the set I want instead of flicking through files...a job for a "not much happening in the cubbyhole" day perhaps but oh no...when I get an idea in my noodle...it's now or never and I'm off like a runaway train...
Just when you think the week can't get any worse...dental appointment tomorrow to replace a filling that shot out at the weekend and I think I may have swallowed....visit to the nurse for routine blood test and another morning of practising my Dancing on Ice skills on our treacherous pavements.....just another fun filled week in the cubbyhole. The Furry Boy has taken a leaf out his Mum's book and being doing his bit to reorganise....so pop back tomorrow for his latest little give-away and have no fear it won't be the empty file folders that are now surplus to requirements.
Hugs Kath xxx
You are so organised Kath, where do you get all that energy from. Have fun dancing on ice - be carefulx
ReplyDeleteVery organised Kath, great idea... good luck at the dentist and with the bloods! Jo (34) xxx
ReplyDeleteGood to be organised :O)

Good morning from one organised freak to another. I'm the same I've reorganised my stamps about three times. I spent ages making little books to keep them in out of one of the craft stampers. Then decided I had too many of a couple of sorts and went and bought boxes. I'm a proper neat freak. Have a good day. Hugs x ChrisB
ReplyDeletethe boxes are brilliants. So nice to have a place for everything and have everything in it's place.
ReplyDeleteHi Kath,
ReplyDeleteLove all that organization happening there! Can't wait to see your finished project.
Thanks for the peek and sharing, hugs Marjo #23 Happy WOYWW
Great idea I need to organise my craft room I waste so much time scrabbling through drawers looks for "that stamp".
ReplyDeleteoh Kath, you are so busy ,and yet you stay tidy too, i am in awe of you,
ReplyDeletelove the Tesco bargain,

Wow Kath, love your organisation! Kim
ReplyDeleteSomething very pleasing when you see organisation .. means you don't have to worry about the boring things, you can just get on and create :)
ReplyDeleteHi ya Kath
ReplyDeleteoh you looked so organised, all very tidy, hope the dentist goes ok, go careful on them pavements, have great day, happy WOYWW, sue,x (25)
I don't know how u can keep them all in their lil packets! I just end up ripping them or getting the sticky bit stuck to everything within a 10 yd radius! Mind ya you do have about six times the amount I do so I'll be quiet...
ReplyDeletehmmm, I think I need more shelves!
ReplyDeleteonly problem is Graham has the big telly mounted on the wall above my crafty desk - think it might accidentally meet with something sharp *wanders off to try and find her pokey tool*

It is all looking so nice and organised, maybe I need to get on with mine too. Started yesterday. Good luck at the dentist. Careful with the dancing on the ice. just don't try any twirls or jumps. Warm wishes.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get more organised. Hugs Pam x
ReplyDeleteIts so nice to see I am not the only one who has these storage moments of madness! lol xxx
ReplyDeleteFab stamp storage!
ReplyDeleteThe boxes are just the perfect size and I also have used telephone directory pages for making flowers, I think it was...a very useful material.
ReplyDeleteSue xx 67
I was going to use some phone directory pages too, as I don't have an old dictionery to rip up, lol!
ReplyDeleteCrikey Kath that’s keen. How can you possibly thing of reorganising when you only did it all a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteMind you, I have to agree that having your stamps in folders doesn’t always work, especially when some of my sets are A4, which either means splitting them or going for bigger binders which I don’t really want to do.

Oh to be so tidy. I spent over half an hour looking for a pattern yesterday only to find I had left it at Wipso's!!!
ReplyDeleteI envy those tidy stamp containers. Must admit, the urge to organise everything usually hits me right in the middle of exams - you know - when IU have to set an exam, it is vitally important that my scraproom get organised. Weird Huh?
ReplyDeleteKath, those boxes are a great idea for clear & cling stamps. I think we'd all enjoy a good rummage through your stash!
ReplyDeleteMy 'Buddy Giveaway' goodies arrived this morning - thank you sooooo much! I had a great time looking through all the brilliant papers and ribbons etc. I can't thank you & Buddy enough!
Hope you've not had any trauma at the dentist or on the ice today

Sounds like a case of better the devil you know than the devil you don't! Any reason you couldn't have just got another binder and continued on the way you were going? Either way, it does look very organised and it's good to see what you have.
ReplyDeleteBrenda 99
Hope your new storage works well for you and you don't have to do it all again!
ReplyDeleteBTW I think you need a pair of those shoe/ice/ gripper thingys by the sound of it... do take care......

Your pooch is amazing! How handsome he is...And your work area is so neat and orderly I'm so jelous!! Great job hun.
ReplyDeleteHugs Bonnie
Hi Kath, what is it about this time of year that has us all re-organising our stash :) I did the binder thing and hated it so it had to go and a better way found. I like your little boxes - they look really accessible. I feel something distressed is in production - will pop back to see what those directory pages are used for. Regards, Elizabeth #87
ReplyDeletelol I too have ideas and have to act on them straight away - hence why I had to make a storage book for my spellbinders - nice to know there are tidy crafter out there was starting to think I was an oddity (which my DH would agree with) Thanks for the peep and love your new storage ~ Nicky 45
ReplyDeletelooks like you are well on the way to being mega organized. Those boxes look like a great deal!
ReplyDeleteMorning Kath, like you I started doing the file thing and then it gets too heavy and bulging and now have them in boxes, easier to find thing lol:) Have fun JO.xxx**19**
ReplyDeletewoohoo, you're famous again - you just got a tweet from Hero Arts for your fab storage system xx
ReplyDeleteLove your organisation system! I need to get myself to Tesco and find some of those boxes. Just starting out with paper crafts - I never realised I would need so much stuff!
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well at the dentist, love the new place for the stamps
ReplyDeleteThose Really Useful Boxes are great - I am totally addicted, most of my storage is in those.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant organisation. It is indeed a problem keeping up with the ever-expanding stamp collection !
ReplyDeleteMarilyn
You are so organized! Please come and organize me next! It looks like yuo may have found the perfect solution for those clear stamps! I am still trying to find the perfect way to store them in binders.
ReplyDelete"Dancing on Ice" gave me a chuckle! Thanks!
