Crafty Elves Required...

Hi folks...I'm feeling completely bogged down and well and truly crafted out...can't seem to gee my ginger and get on with the list of things to do...there's been much sitting around drinking coffee and not even the goodies from Birmingham have persuaded me to get my crafty hat on again. Top of the shopping list were those "can't live without" cubbyhole essentials...the 3D foam pads...Cosmic Shimmer Glue...Mini Blending Tool pads and a new Craft Pick...a pokey tool to you and me...his predecessor has seen better days...obviously he's been poking around where he shouldn't have been. A big thank you to David and Brenda at Craft Obsessions for very generously re-stocking my supply of the fabulous Stick It and to Fiskars for my smart new craft mat.
and of course I couldn't resist adding to the cubbyhole's Tim Holtz Bits and Bobs Collection...
and a stroll over to MDF Man to stock up on more of these fabulous storage boxes...I'm still amazed that I managed to sneak them past the eagle eyes at check-in and on to the flight as hand luggage...
and after seeing the gorgeous samples on the Powertex stand...I couldn't resist purchasing some bits and pieces to have a little dabble...
but when that is likely to happen is anybody's guess...the DIY bug is calling again and after helping hubby to put together Storage Unit 2 yesterday...I've been busy unpacking...sorting and stacking the shelves....the good news is the garage is now decluttered again...
the not so good news is the two-tone cubbyhole is getting on my wick but before I can start painting again...the rest of the units will have to moved and seeing as they're well and truly anchored to the floor by the weight of all the craft stuff...I'm suspect I may have to empty them first...to save hubby ending up in hospital with a hernia and that's not a task that's filling me with joy right this minute.
What I really need is a little army of crafty elves with big muscles who are dab hands with a paintbrush...many hands make light work...The Furry Boy will be on hand with lots of furry snuggles and I'll be very happy to keep you topped up with lots of coffee and cake...so applications in writing please...addressed to The Cubbyhole"
