2022 Craft Room Organization Tip# 1

Organizing Crafts.

During the month of June I lead an effort inside my Stampin'Up! team of creators the Blessed Stampers. We all did a bit of organizing. It was a great effort! I was able to tackle certain areas and develop new ways of keeping things in order. We called it our Decide, Declutter, Donate, Delight Event.

The Inevitable.

As usual after a time of crafting your Craft Table becomes a complete havoc. Can you tell? 

20 Minute Hack

I actually think I developed a good system to keep my areas in order during the month of June. I gave the 20-minute hack a try and time and time again it worked. At times may take me more than 20 minutes but setting the timer and getting to it actually helps me to focus and get my area clean. Below how I found my craft table. 

Getting back to stamping.

After what seemed like a LOOONG hiatus I am back stamping again. I got back from visiting my parents to complete 10 swaps for my team's Mini Catalog Swap lead by my friend Bobbi Olmstead. So inspiring. From there I had several events including my Paper Pumpkin Peeps monthly meeting. They are so encouraging. And now I don't lie to you, I am waking VERY early in the morning to enjoy a quiet time listening to my Bible app while I craft and pray for those I am preparing cards for. It is becoming one of my favorite times of the day. I have a long list of projects overdue so needless to say my table ended up a mess. Yeah, so bad! :/




Get In There.

Last night I simply got in there. Set my phone timer for 20 minutes and got my  used/inked stamps cleaned, card stock back to its place, clear blocks in its place, till the table went back looking pretty. I LOVE entering my crafting room and find it neat (at least the table right?). It is inviting. I am so blessed to have a wonderful room like this. I don't want to take it for granted. Thanks Jesus! 

Organization Tip #1 Simply Start.

I need to encourage you to simply start. The mess didn't happen in a day, so why expect to have it all pretty in one day. Go for it. Set a day, a time, and a timer. If able call a friend, chat with her while you pick up -thanks Maria ;) or listen to a fun podcast -I love Simple Scrapper- I'm sure you can find a fun organization episode as well, hehe! 

I love this quote from Zig Ziglar. Can be applied to our craft rooms as well! I encourage you to simply start.


Find THAT spot.

This was my first spot I decided to C.L.E.A.R. when I started organizing my room in June 2022. I HAD to declutter after I moved since ALL that had no place to go was thrown into this room. I had a baby and took me months to declutter.  I will share those pics another time. 

In the meantime, where is THAT spot that makes you crazy? This below was my sore spot. Start with a small spot. Take a pic of the before and after and get it done. EVEN if it takes you two week or more. Go little by little. 20 minutes here and there.



You Got This! 

Starting is the key. Having a simple system and a place for your more important tools helps. Here are the results of my 20 minutes effort. Loving my table and ready to tackle more projects. Stay tune.

In the Little Bits


August hello my dear

Summer is almost gone.

School is starting.

With that, routine will set in.

This mom of four is very happy.

My plan: to do just a little every day that I know pleases Him.


Giving God glory with the little bits

Some times I feel I only have little bits to give.

My time and energy can only cover so much.

Today I prayed God is glorified in the little bits. 

When I am not able to do as much I wish I could.

When I am limited by time or my own weakness.

God be glorified even in my little bits.

Help me to give you my best.



Refreshing. 

How refreshing when someone reminds you of your calling, your purpose, His BIG plan. 

Today, a guest speaker came to speak to church.

He asked the question, "What is your calling? Do you know it?"

In a instant I was brought to the answer. I've known it for quiet some time.

To cheer the broken-hearted and connect my friends to Jesus.



What is your superpower?

To start again. 

That was my answer a while back and how fitting for such a time as this.

I will start again.

Today I start blogging again.

Tomorrow Monday we start school at the Urrutia's household.

Soon videos will resume.


Where have you been?

Feels as if I just finished taxes, 

finished school evals, 

finished a stamps sale,

finished planning my daughter's Sweet 16th,

finished a great time with my parents and sister, 

finished laundry -to start again-, 

finished a Christian conference 

to simply start again.



Just Do It!

Yes, is a slogan.

But feels refreshing to simply say it. 

Do it again Lord.

Show me the way.

I will follow you. 


Photos.

My three (schooled) musketeers. 

I love them so much.

I scrapped these pages to present their school portfolios.

I love having my Stampin'Up! goodies available.

Now, is time to get back to them. 


See you This Week!

Keep it Simple


Keeping it Simple 
when stamping is not always easy for those who LOVE stamping. Life in itself tends to become complicated the older we get. More blessings come with more responsibility. At times too many chores drain play time away. Now a quick tip for my busy ladies!
Sometimes less is more. I've come to discover that when I limit my supplies and choose from a small amount it becomes easier to decide what to do. Kits, like Paper Pumpkin or the ones in the Kit Collection by Stampin'Up! allow me to get to stamp quicker than when I have to put everything together. 
Have you consider kits before?


Few Samples

Here are a few samples of cards I have made in the last months with what started as a kit and then I turned into an "outside the box" project. Go ahead you can be creative keeping it simple. I crafted some baby and graduation cards with this kit. I was not totally sure how to use these moon cardbases so this is what I came up with. 



Paper Pumpkin
 

is just one of the many options of kits Stampin'Up! offers. You are most likely used by now to see me creating weekly with these wonderful monthly kits. The one above is an alternate created with the kit below. You can still find refills of this in my store.
