The only bad thing is It was so clean that I had to create something and within a couple of hours I was working in a 6" area aging. How does that happen!

I have 2 desks and they are both overflowing. I try to clean up after each project but there is never enough places to put stuff. I have a ton of shelving and it too is overflowing. I have 24 drawers of single sheets if paper that I can't even close because they are so overflowing and I don't even want to mention the 12x12 paper pads. I think all crafters are like this there is so much we have to have even if there is no place to out it. My areas are neat but overflowing with stuff. Wish I could just quit buying!tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549436992438719803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219284131168149801.post-15128977177191582472014-01-23T10:53:21.930-05:002014-01-23T10:53:21.930-05:00Well, I think all these many comments, say it all,...Well, I think all these many comments, say it all, - it's the creative mind that does it.

I have been juggling open stamp sets, and peeling stamps off of blocks and not putting them back on carrier sheets to keep my creativity flowing, but it's a little sad to look at right now.
