Craft room Challenge – Week Two

January 10, 2018

Welcome to week two of the craft room challenge!  If this is your first week with us it’s not to late to join in, and have a more organized space by the end of the month.

Last week we decided to tackle our work surfaces since you can’t create anything new if you can’t see your desk right!? Let me remind you of what my work area looked like before.

There was literally a space just large enough for a single sheet of paper to work on, and it wasn’t exactly conducive to creating a project. As a result, I found myself avoiding creating, and, for me, week number one was the most needed out of any week we have.

First, I started with taking everything off the desk and giving it a good clean down.  I used the tools of my vacuum, and got all the dust and bits of paper off to start. Then I used just some baby wipes on the surface since it’s chalk board paint.  The little spinning caddy even got a good vacuuming.

 

With a pristine surface I decided to only put back what I really wanted on the desk.  While I would love to have just the work mat on the desk that isn’t really practical.  Instead I went with just the work mat, the spinning caddy, with reduced items, and my iPad holder.  The iPad holder is a must as I often use sketches to begin my creations.

I love my clean desk

What did I do with the rest of the things – well….that leads to week two because our mission this week is to purge and sort.  Get ready with those empty boxes or bags and be sure to make one for sell, donate/recycle/give away and don’t forget to have a trash bag.  This week will make a huge difference in how your rooms looks since deciding what can go will make it easier to give everything staying a place. Having a place will allows you to return it easily when you’re finished using it.  I will be focusing on my stamps and well as all the furniture I have on my walls.  The goal is to get things off the walls and have less of a walls closing in on you feeling.

Quick And Easy Last Minute Fourth of July Crafts

July 3, 2017

     So it’s July 3rd (Happy Birthday to my little sister), and you haven’t started your paper crafts for tomorrow yet!!! I have a few quick and easy items that will help make your party festive without a ton of time, and using supplies your probably already have in your stash.
Last Minute 4th of July Decorations

     First up is some small flags that have a variety of uses and a card from the P.S. I Love You Crafts. How cute would the card be done on a singe sheet with your menu printed on the back!?
     
Patriotic Card

     I also love this silverware holder from Creatively Homemade.  Not only is this an easy way to add some festivity to your party, but it helps your guests.  We all have sat down as a picnic and realized we missed a piece or silverware or didn’t have any.  What may to make your guests more comfortable than take all the work of it for them.
4th of July Silverware Holder

     Food fun kids has a great confetti popper idea. I can see these being great for little ones that you don’t want to give sparklers too, or in areas where fireworks aren’t allowed.

     This Momma Loves has several vase decorations that if you have older kids they could make for you.  What’s a better time saver than that!  Quiet kids and some decorations…win win
Patriotic Vase Decorations

     Finally for you I have a wreath from Creatively Homemade.  The pinwheels can be used on the wreath or image them on sticks for decorations or attached to paper straws for kids drinks. Super fun!

     Hope these fun crafts have given you some last minute ideas to make your party more festive.  Until next time….stay crafty!
