All of my stuff is currently in storage. I haven't been able to touch it in months.
I miss it so much.
It's my only hobby, and my way to de-stress.
Anyone else have their stuff where they can't get to it?
I know eventually I'll be able to get it all out again, but right now I have zero room to have even a little bit out. The only thing scrappy I can still do is print (order) pics, and keep a notebook with stories I want to scrap when I can.
Oh, and sometimes buy a supply or two at a deal I can't pass up.
Anyone else missing their stuff?

That sounds awful. When can you get it out? Is your storage close? Can you make yourself a kit or two and just bring that inside. I might not scrap as much as I should, but I go into that room all of the time. It is my happy place. Will your new place have room?

Mine is in quasi-storage. It is in my garage waiting to be moved back in to the house to the extra bedroom dd and dgs just moved out of. Originally it was very organized and I had all of the boxes labeled and when I went to a crop, I could pick out what I needed. Well, I am not very good at putting everything back in the original spot! so now I have a lot of piles that need to be organized. I have also been buying items here and there and they are in their own box waiting to be integrated into the rest of the storage. I feel your pain!

Yes! We remodeled this summer and it was all stored away for months. I only recently got it back out. Like you, this is my way of de-stressing.
Now, if I could just stay home! We've been busy or gone way way way too much.

Sending heartfelt sympathy your way. BTDT. It was awful. Hoping you get your scrapping stuff back in your life soon. Truly amazing what some paper and tape can do for your outlook on life!

I'm so sorry. I just moved out of a place where I was able to have my supplies but really no where convenient to use them. I was always in the way and could never walk away from an unfinished layout. I had to haul it all out and then clean it up when I was done.
Is it possible to put together a kit that you could take to a crop or to the library to scrap?

I'm slowly getting mine out of storage. It's very confusing because I don't remember what I have. I packed it up years ago, and we've moved three times since then!
Most of it is in my scrap space now (still boxed up) but I still have a bunch of boxes in the basement, and I have no idea what's in them. I've pulled a few things out toward the end of this summer that were mildewed, so I'm nervous for what's still down there...

A lot of mine is now in storage. Luckily I was able to keep some supplies with me BUT I have had zero time to scrap since moving and starting my own business. I am really wanting my scrappy time back but it may be awhile before that happens...so I feel your pain!

We've been busy or gone way way way too much. This is me too. I finally got my construction done in February after having my stuff packed up for over three years, and spent several months getting a lot of my scrapping stuff unpacked. I've been working on getting things organized and thought I'd have more time now that my kid is in full time school, but other things have popped up and we've been gone a lot so I'm not as far along with it as I wish I was. I still have thousands of rubber stamps in storage that I refuse to pull out and deal with until all of the scrapbooking and sewing stuff is organized, and sadly that will probably take me until next year. I'm not allowing myself to start any new sewing projects either until the organizing is done. I had a scrapping day at home a few weeks ago, and went to an all day fundraiser crop recently and at least got some layouts made! Having my stuff packed up was horrible. But on another good note, I have about ten file storage boxes FULL of stuff I've decided to purge that I'm going to get packed up and priced to sell at my friend's scrappy rummage sale in the spring. I'll be so happy when that pile of boxes is GONE! |

The time is coming when this will be me, although I think after reading this, I will make sure I have some kits to work on and just put the rest into storage.
I would probably go nuts if I can't do any scrapping or papercrafting, so you definitely have my sympathy.

my dd...she has a few things out, but most of her stuff, including the scrap stuff is in storage until next month when she and bf move into a larger place. She is frustrated as she finally has time to craft, and doesn't have her stuff.

Been there and will be there again when we finally redo the first floor of this house. It was way worse when my stuff was actually in a storage at a moving company when we relocated with hubs new job. I had to buy a house first and then have it all delivered. Unfortunately, my family thought bedrooms and kitchen (like we need to eat) needed unpacked first. Sheesh, kids. I ended up buying a few craft paints and mixed media journal and some pens just to do art journaling while waiting. When we redo this room, I'm totally going to make some page kits up before packing everything away.
