I have come to discover that I own a shockingly large amount of supplies and have completely lost track of what I own. I know, I'm the only one that has ever had this discovery! :) After 5 moves to 4 towns in 2 states and about a bazillion dollars spent on organizing books/magazines, I have come to the conclusion that I am an out-of-sight = out-of-mind kinda gal. I've also put the pieces together to realize that I think in rainbows and am VERY lazy about putting things away. If it ain't easy, I ain't gonna put it back where it belongs. Where am I going on this rant? After yet another nutty where I was yelling in my studio about what I couldn't find, my husband took pity (or was it self preservation) and helped me move around my furniture and better organize my space.
Bless his heart, he's such a good guy. He calls this The Store. He says it looks like a store front and keeps asking me "How's The Store treating you today?". I have to say, since getting this set up this way, I have used a TON more stuff and have had only a little itch to buy something new! So here's something I made with the toys from The Store.I used some cards from heaven-only-knows where and used my cricut to cut the green Amuse paper. I stamped the cupcake on Memory Box paper with stamps from Papertrey and I colored the leaves with one of my green copics.
Part of my discovery when I was cleaning was that I have an inordinate amount of pink stuff. I had no idea that I was such a girl! Now I'm on a mission to use up those girlie embellies. Got any great inspiration? Leave me a comment so I can check out your stuff!
Love your card - and I am just like you when it comes to "out of sight, out of mind".
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - you do have a lot of supplies - I love how you have them organized though - very neat and tidy! I love your card too - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTFS!
I too, am a out-of-sight-out-of-mind-kinda-girl. Wish I could leave everything out, but that's no option, LOL.
ReplyDeleteYour embellies look fantastic sorted by colour!!!
I am also like this, I love 'the store' look! So pretty and inviting!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving 'The Store' - all those lovely colors and goodies, have fun creating!
ReplyDeleteI hope your store treats you well! I actually read about one of the gals from Simple Scrapbook magazine organizing her supplies by color. I'm glad it works for you... maybe I should try it?
ReplyDeleteThe 'store' looks fabulous. I love how you've organized them it's functional and very pretty!
ReplyDeletereally love it
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely two peas in a pod. I'm exactly like you with my stuff. I wish my hubby would take pity! LOL I really like your cards. I know I showed up cause I saw blog candy, but you know I've met the nicest people this way. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. And I really love your store!
