As many of you know, I am a chaotic crafter. I love to stamp, scrapbook, sew and so many other things which tends to result in piles. Lots of them. It drives me nuts but with three kids (and the fourth on the way) I tend to get distracted by family life before I get the chance to clean up my pile. So the piles tend to accumulate. My children all love to stamp so that adds to the piles and clutter.
To make matters worse, my stamping supplies have been divided between two rooms--our office and our dining room. I used to keep everything in our office, which worked at the beginning of my business but as my supplies grew, there was just no place to put everything. Plus all of my classes are held in our dining room. When setting up for a class I would have to make multiple trips from the office to the dining room not to mention during class when I would inevitably forget something. Slowly I started taking over our dining room but still had quite a bit in our office. I never knew what supplies I had in each room. So lately I have spent more time running between rooms trying to find stuff then actually stamping.
With the baby's arrival getting closer each day I realized that I needed to get my stamping stuff organized and put into one location. Well, that desire could also have something to do with the whole "nesting instinct" while pregnant, LOL. If you follow me on Twitter or on Facebook then you know that this is a project I have been working on for over a month. I would get a good start on organizing but would once again run into the issue of having no where to actually put things. So frustrating.
My wonderful husband sensed my frustration (especially since he was getting tired of the piles too) and suggested we find a cabinet for the dining room. Great idea, except that nothing seemed to be tall enough or deep enough to fit everything. So Tuesday afternoon he came up with a solution. Move our giant cabinet out of our bathroom (which took up way too much room in there anyway) into the dining room and put a slightly smaller cabinet into the bathroom instead. Perfect solution!!
