Boxes,Bags,...Bears? Oh My!


Well after much sole searching I made up my mind to take some pics of my room and post them out here for all to see. IT'S A MESS!!!!! As you can see, or not, there's not much room for creating at this moment. I don't even have a chair. I have piles of stuff all over the floor and boxes stacked in the corners. There is a computer in there somewhere. Most of it is still in a box, I took my son's old computer last July when he got a new one and have not hooked it up yet. When will I get it hooked up? Soon, I hope.This is my "desk" it's a 4 foot folding table that we used as a prep table on camping trips. I have way to much junk on it to be able to work efficiently. Some of it is projects from before Christmas.The iris cart holds wood mounted stamps, ink pads, glue boards, chalks, H2O's and more junk. The drawers on top have my adhesives, collage paper, and some embellishments. Then the stuff on top of that. Under my desk is a tote that holds my dearest possesions, my DS' school work,Scout and Karate stuff that someday I will get around to Scrapbooking. No telling what's in the leather suitcase. I havein't looked in there in a while.I think it's time for the file cabinet to go somewhere else, except that's where I keep my stash of chocolate and candy. THis is probably the most organized area in the room. I have each season's embellishments and scrap PP in a gallon zip lock bag hanging on the door so that I can get to it.( I also have a least one large box to go with each bag in the closet. Small rubber stamps are seperated by type in plastic cups. Punchs and tools are stored in the shoe bag on the door.This corner has just got to get cleaned out. Even if DH wanted to use the weight bench he couldn't. There just no room. What started out as a small hobby in a 6x6 closet has started to outgrow a 10x11 room. Does that mean I have to much stuff or that I just need a bigger room. My bedroom's 12x15, hummmmmm that a thought. Just kidding, I like my big bedroom. I guess it means I have WAY to much, I need to downsize a little. As I progress I'll keep adding pictures to prove that I am making progress.>
