This is so you have bragging rights over cleaning up after your craft session, or finally scrubbing that floor that hasn't been touched in a month (or more if you're me), 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 |

Last month I finally stacked these 2 units on top of each other.  I just put the table top on my desk against the wall. We’ll see how claustrophobic I get working facing a wall. I finally got the filing sorted enough to have this space cleared.  The second half of the desk. I put my 3-D printer on it, even though I still haven’t used it.  Which allowed me to move my silhouette up to the top on this cart since I do use it. The bottom is computer and 3d printer storage.  Looking forward to getting painty and artsy. |

LisaDV - You look like you are making great progress! I actually have never seen what a 3D printer looks like. 😳 Interesting! Can’t wait to see what you print.

I worked yesterday (and earlier this week) on clearing out old product. My mom is self isolating and is soooo bored. She asked if I would put some card kits together for her to do. So, I made five kits based on some straightforward Ideas I found on Pinterest. I used my older supplies and put the kits together. Then I added more random papers and embellishments I was done with in the bag in case she really gets going and wants to make more. Yesterday’s cleaning and kit making was about two hours of time.  |

 So for the last 20 years, well maybe not that long but at least the last 10 . . . I've had my colored cardstock in several locations organized by rainbow. The older non-textured in a Crop-n-style paper taker, the newer textured cardstock in stand-up Storage Solution vertical paper holders. Tim Holtz distress, double-sided cardstock stack, and so on all in their own folders. I would have to search several places to find the right color cardstock. So I've started organizing it all into the Storage Solution holders. It is a challenge . . . is this yellow-green or green-yellow? Ack! But once I am done I think I will be happier and less likely to buy more cardstock! I have about 17 inches!
Didn't think about the before photo, but will do the after!

angel97701, that is a project. I took it on several years ago, probably 7 years ago now. I loved having it all in one place organized in rainbow order. However, I now have a few cardstocks in my standing organizer and the rest are in an iris bin. I guess they're starting to eek back out into other places. I should nip that now. Linda, Fantastic job!

Great minds think alike!! I've been putting some together for my grand-daughter to do. |

I have finished organizing my clear stamps. I still need to do the wood mounted ones, but I don’t have nearly as many.

gramma, I like Kristie Marcots (spelling) videos. Seems like in the last year, I always watch a couple of her batch card making videos before starting a card making session. justjac, are you going to show us a picture? I'd love to see. angel97701, that looks so pretty. I may have to open up my iris bin just to look at them now.

spent an hour cleaning and organising my scrapbook space -sorted through my scraps and got rid of a bunch of too small/odd-shaped ones, tested all my markers and tossed the dead ones, straightened things up...

tested all my markers and tossed the dead ones I did this with the kids markers just a couple of months ago. We homeschool, but for each new coop year we seemed to go get new markers, crayons, etc. It may have been overkill. But I love school supply season. I should go through my craft markers now. |

LisaDV here are all my clear stamps. I can’t believe how many sets I have. I also have a tote of Close To My Heart sets and a couple of drawers of wood mount stamps.

justjac - Wow! That is a lot of nicely organized stamps! I recently put mine into containers like that. I love it and have used them so much more! angel97701 - Your paper looks great! That is exactly how I have mine and it is so nice to just be able to go to the correct color and find what I want.

I could see red and black for a boys page. Especially with their wrestling. Green is a good boys page color though. Also good spring, outdoor color. I have a large stack of green as well. |

I am organizing and cleaning my scrapbook room. Now at this point you would never know it. But today I found an expensive Dahle trimmer I thought I had sold years ago. I had offered it to a friend and then couldn't find it. I did a porch drop off for her. I told her if she likes it, keep it.
I am adding my sewing stuff into my scraproom, and I began the process of clearing shelf space for machine storage. I have a sewing machine, 2 sergers and an embroidery machine. I cleared the table I will use for a sewing table.
My friend suggested I just organize for about an hour a day, and that's what I've done the past 2 days. I've made more progress in those 2 hours than I had been making.
I also picked up another large pack of photos today and I keep trying to organize those into page protectors. I have made a dent and I ordered 6 boxes of page protectors that arrived the other day.
