I really must apologize to all of you for dropping my blogging for quite a while. I've been in the process of totally re-doing my craft room - AGAIN, because I had "stuff" spread out all over the house, and some of it had just been laying there for years and months. Stuff I had forgotten I even had, or else, knew I had it, but couldn't find it. Soooo.... my sister spent most of the summer up here, and she's a true saint! With her help, I have totally purged my craft room. I took every thing out of it - including the contents of the drawers and shelves ( except for one set of shelves I haven't tackled yet), put it all over the living room floor. Then we went through everything one at a time and decided whether it was a "keeper", "tosser", or "yard sale". It literally took us 2 months to do this, but now, after 2 yard sales and three garbage bags-full of "tossers", I can actually see the floor in my craft room again! My sweet husband had some shelving he wasn't using in his wood shop, and he put them up in my craft room, and I have almost everything stored away, and labeled, in Iris Craft containers from Michaels in these shelves. Such a weight has been lifted from my shoulders! I really should never have to buy another craft product for the rest of my life, but, of course, I will.
The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.
