If you have read the challenge threads lately you know that we are redoing my craft room. If you want to see how things are going, check back here. I will use this thread to post photos and let you in on the wonderful (or grisly) details. I spent 6 hours yesterday going through some stuff and packing. You can barely tell that anything has been touched. Someone has done too much shopping and not enough using!
I discovered lots of brads that I forgot about. I seldom use them but now that I have reacquainted myself with them I have a firm resolve to use them more often. Most of them are really cute and I apologized to them for my neglect. I took them out of little drawers, sorted them better and put them in clear plastic bead containers. That job took way longer than you would think.
Read the paragraph above again and wherever it says "brads" substitute the words "fabric trims". Another crappy job: winding up yards of snarled pieces of trim. Now I will be able to see what I have at a glance.
The takeaway: I consider myself to be a very well organized person. (I have been called Martha Stewart many times.) Even so, going through my stash and tidying up made me more aware of what I have and will make it easier to use. I highly recommend it!
