I Just Love Moving, Don't You?

Two weeks ago I embarked on one of the biggest moves of my life. I moved from a second floor apartment to a house.

Have you had the fun of packing up and moving your craft room? Oh my gosh! I never knew I could create such a mess all by myself, but I sure did. I also learned that every little scrap of paper, color of paint, ephemera, magazine clipping, etc., etc., is absolutely necessary. I have a lot of really neat stuff! That was the nice surprise. The problem was that I couldn't bring myself to throw any of it away, because it was really neat stuff...LOL.

This is what all that really neat stuff looked like before I moved it.




This is what all that really neat stuff looked like after I moved it. Notice the big improvement? LOL



Okay, it's not that bad now. I assembled white cabinets, fit in all the items and product I need to keep close by or in the house, and they turned out great. All the mess is hidden from view, and I like that.

This is what all that really neat stuff looks like now.





What isn't in the house is now organized on shelving in the garage, so I'm beginning to feel good about this. I think it all may actually work out...oh to be organized! Every crafters dream....:0)

Wow, I am impressed you got everything so organized! We just moved (yes, we lugges old National Geographic magazines 600 miles for no apparent reason, and the kids decided many of the things they so carfully packed and we lugges those 600 miles they no longer want - 4 trips to goodwill so far) and my studio is a mess. You did a great job at getting setu up and organized! Moving is exhausting, difficult, and stressful. I bet you are glad it's over.

Thank you Raige. I do remember what it's like to move with the kids! I hope you get your studio in working order soon. I know how frustrating that is. Best of luck in your new home.

Thanks VE. I couldn't have gotten it all done without the help you and Mr. B gave me. I think we're as ready for the parents arrival as we'll ever be. LOL

I'm amazed you got organized after such a big move. I hope your studio is in working order. This isn't the season to have a studio out of order ;-)

Best wishes in your new digs!

Nice job Pepper. I'm in awe of all you accomplished in such a short period of time. And I'm sure you'll be crafting again in no time.

Love your cabinet idea - I must consider that when I relocate!

You'll love the personality of the Witch doctor since it is the newest figure. The skills would be based on the voodoo. En verdad recibimos esta autoridadcuando nacemos de nuevo. El diablo no quiere que lagente diablo 3 gold descubra lo que le pertenece, y se empe?a en esconder la verdad.
This all depends on how effective the "gold sinks" and buy diablo 3 gold consumables are at swallowing these inputs. This question isn about those, so I summarize by saying that the structure of the game is such that, just like the Federal Reserve, Blizzard has some level of control over this.shirt together with his blue jeans diablo gold diablo iii gold and his cover
