I may have stretched this challenge a bit, but this is my card for WT460. My resolution is to get my craft room cleaned and organized. If you saw it you would know it will take THREE years to accomplish. Anyway this card is supposed to be the mess it's in now and even the fairy is running from it. There is a form of organization with labeled drawers and such, but any flat space gets murdered by me daily. When my neighbor comes over, I invite her up for tea and we have a good time. She can overlook the mess. BTW the rest of the house is clean.
DH has absolutely refused to help, but that's OK. His idea of helping is to do a total overhaul and I would never find anything. But he has taken to coming up and sitting and reading in my big overstuffed chair and this is helpful. I just putz and when I am ready he will move a cabinet for me. The 2nd half of this resolution is to get rid of things I don't need. Wish me luck!

Oh I love this! Your room must look like mine! I MUST get some shelving soon. My floor space where the bed was is rapidly becoming a pile! So I think your card and crafty resolution are perfect.

Carol, I enjoyed your description as much as your card. Your collage cards get better and better. If I were that fairy, I'd run to your craft room and join in the creating fun!

Awesome. I sure need to get my table cleaned off, too. I have to tell you that it does me no good to clean it. As soon as I start creating again, Viola, the mess is back.

Honestly....you're hilarious, Carol!! Now, creatively speaking, here's an interesting thing: my craft room is as neat as a pin. A place for everything and everything in it's place.
I LOVE your card!!!!!!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Cool, eclectic collection of images and embellishments, Carol! Good luck in your craft room. I'll bet 75% of paper crafters have this as an ongoing "goal."

I can identify with that 3 year clean up job. My resolution this year is to use up, use up, use up, so there will be less to clean up!! But, it will take awhile!!! Love your card and love your honesty!

What a great goal. I have the same problem... can't move in my craft room... love your creative 'mess'... the button is so pretty... also like the silhouette die-cuts.

I LOVE THIS!!!! Oh, lady, a craft area is never clean, so don't beat yourself up about it! SO proud of all you have accomplished, and I would LOVE to be that fairy and have coffee in your organized space. Thanks for sharing your awesome moment with me this week!
