This challenge is so you have bragging rights over cleaning up after your craft session, organizing a supply or your whole room, sorting or editing photos, organizing page kits, basically anything that’s not actually crafting that needs to get finished in the craft room.
Note for teams: If you’re on the team challenge you can claim 10 point for each hour spent. Your time doesn’t have to be consecutive. You can claim a bonus point for before and after photos. grammadee |

This is my new space. Although I really wanted to take off wall paper and paint before moving stuff in, alas it wasn’t meant to be.   The good news is that I can slowly start putting things away and using it. |

lovely space - can't wait to see finished pics! It looks like it gets plenty of light. LisaDV |

Thanks, Linda. It's also a guest bedroom so there will be a sofa sleeper where the boxes are now. Of course, until that's purchased it might just be a blow up air mattress when guests are here. |

Looks like lots of organizing in your future, LisaDV! Hope you have some time to craft as well. |

Nice room, Lisa! I can't wait to see you get it all set up and see the official "tour". All that natural light is so nice!

buggirl47, I'm too much of a hoarder to throw away something crafty!! I've started opening a few boxes. But then think I should work on the rest out in the garage first. The movers put the tv power cords and dvd player in separate box. Then I remember them using that box to fill up another box. I have no idea which box that is in and everyone wants to watch the big tv now that it's finally here. I still haven't found that box.

I'm down to just a few boxes left, but completely out of steam for it as well. I wish I would have been able to take off the wallpaper and paint before moving everything in. Then I could think about forever pieces, but I'm just using what I have and I'm now struggling with what to do with the last bit of stuff.
- Oh, a craft hoarder's dilemma for sure.

Is it bragging if you cleaned up after a project you did in May and then another on top of that in August   Well, I did spend 4 hours cleaning yesterday. Even had to take my sweatshirt off with all my movement! I got all my cardstock put away were it belongs  |

gmcwife1, that is something to brag about!! That's only 2 projects and you cleaned up after. You are almost one of those rock stars that clean after every project in my book. AND not only did you clean, you got in a workout, double bonus!!

But at my age I realize I will never be one of them  I’m a piler and stacker and then clean when I can’t take it any more! But it was awesome crafting in a semi clean area yesterday! |

I am the same, when the pile I’m working on top of starts to topple and I can’t clean a foot of flat space, I know it’s time to clean up. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf though. |

claiming an hour and half of downloading photos, organising into folders, uploading and printing earlier this week - most of September and all of October so far. Plus a half hour today of cleaning up my desk after card making (usually I clean as I go but I didn't this week) and dusting/vacuuming the family room (where I scrapbook - so many little photo square backers on the floor).

Great job, Linda! I’ve been getting better with downloading and organizing photos in the last couple of months but it was a major struggle for me before. And those little backers get everywhere |

Thanks LisaDV - I actually made a recurring task on my to-do app for downloading photos and for ordering them weekly. It was working really well for a while and then...life interfered and my to-do list didn't get done but I'm back on the bandwagon... |

Yep, Linda, life is like that. Sounds like the story of my life on SO, SO many levels. Glad you're back on the bandwagon. |
