Fairy Godmother for Used Crayons

Your used, broken, nubby, flat, worn-out crayons could bring hours of joy, relief, fun & imagination to a sick child while in the hospital. It’s true! While reading Sunday’s Parade magazine article, America the Unique: Celebrating Our True National Treasures, I read about the Crayon Initiative that re-makes these seemingly useless crayons into new Crayons for sick children. So much better than sending used up Crayons to the landfill or keeping them around for Crayon-melting art projects you will probably never get to. No, your kids will not miss that project. They have other art project sets they ...

Brilliant New Crafty Organizers

We have discovered some incredible new craft supply storage products, and they are all from the same online company called OrganizeMore, craft storage made easy. Their family business began in 2007, and their products are made in their shop in Tennessee. We love finding a homegrown business that makes unique, high quality solutions. Bonus: some of their products are designed to work with the IKEA KALLAX line of shelving. However, they can also be used on a desktop or mounted to a wall. They have also recently added a “marketplace” of other manufacturer’s organizing products to their website that ...

A Cherished Heirloom Becomes the Perfect Hideaway

As we helped our client organize her family’s craft supplies, we were met with a challenge (and we LOVE a challenge)! She needed an inconspicuous place to keep her craft supplies in the formal dining room, because for the time being it holds the biggest table in the house for working on projects. She needed the supplies close at hand, yet easily hidden during the holidays and when family or guests come over for dinner. Several storage options were discussed, but as soon as Leticia walked by the heirloom Military Campaign Chest (probably dating back to the 19th century) she had that lightbulb moment. It was already in the dining room ...

Bullet Journaling – Is it for You?

There’s a new trend in journaling that is geared toward creative types…and may even entice them to improve their time management skills! It is also a great way to use some of your beautiful blank journals, and it’s called Bullet Journaling. One reason it has become so popular is that you only need a few basics to get started.

The Twelve Days of Holiday Organizing: Gift Tag DIY

DIY Project – Turn Your Old Greeting Cards into Gift Tags

This idea has been around for many years (we think Martha Stewart brought it into the main stream). Repurpose those holiday cards that you can’t part with because they are so beautiful by turning them into handy gift tags.

For those of you who dabble in paper crafting, you may want to pull out a basic 2” circle punch (click here for our favorite). Center the punch over the design and cut out a circle. Viola! You have an instant tag! ...

Organizing Your Creative Space: Dealing with Seasonal Craft Supplies

When it comes to crafting, there are so many things that inspire us to make things. One of my biggest crafting inspirations is celebrating holidays, and I’ll bet most crafters would say the same. There are SO many crafts that can make them even more special. Tell me….who doesn’t love to receive a handmade gift that was made especially for them? There are also countless ways to bring handmade items into our seasonal decor. Handmade pillows, welcoming wreaths and floral centerpieces are just a few examples of items that can be made to make our homes feel wonderfully cozy for any season.

Here’s an example of some Christmas crafting I did for our home. It is a collage of paper rosettes I hung in the kitchen ...

Organizing Your Creative Space: Labels are the Unsung Hero of Your Craft Room

In our previous “Organizing Your Creative Space” blog articles, Part 1 and Part 2, you could see all of the boxes and bins that I used to sort my hobby supplies by type and/or purpose. In my rush to the “big reveal” I almost forgot the one important thing that makes organization work…. labeling every container that hides contents from easy viewing. To maximize the efficiency of your newly organized space, you cannot skip this step or you will be right back to hunting through all of those bins. An organized space always ...

Organizing Your Creative Space: View Your Storage Area as “Prime Real Estate”

While clearing the clutter in my craft room I have been learning some lessons in organizing in the most efficient way possible. My mentor, Leticia Pfeiffer (of Styled & Organized), has introduced me to a new concept: Think of your main storage area as valuable real estate. In my craft room the main storage area is a shelving unit that we refer to as the Craft Credenza.

Here is the “before” picture of the Craft Credenza:

This shelving unit had an up-scale title, but it had become the down-market hodgepodge of all my crafty hobbies. Two sewing machines took up most ...
