It's that time of year again to PURGE!
Happy New Year y'all!
I started gathering up all the stamps and dies that are spread around my work areas from last year's crafting sessions to file away with the others. However, the designated containers are maxed out!
It's time to purge and reorganize stamps and dies! .
I was at my local Marshall's store yesterday to pick up one item, but I walked out with three bags of goodies that were on clearance. Included in my purchase was the clear idesign type storage bins. They had a good many of the large bins (approx 14"x 8"x4") on clearance. I picked up two thinking that would suffice, but I was wrong, This morning I was back at Marshall's and picked up four more bins. If I don't need them, I can returned them.
One thing for moving forward in the new year, I'm not buying anymore stamps or dies!

Once you are a little more organized you may find supplies you forgot you had-it is like getting something new!  I love those kinds of bins myself.

I've made good progress purging stamps, dies, ribbons and stencils. They will be a blessing elsewhere... Now I'm tossing cut paper, cardstock, scraps unfinished projects, two more garbage bags have been added to the recycle bin.. I was able to eliminate several storage containers used for those items and what I'm keeping is taking up less space.
I feel good and my room is looking better, but baby I'm not done!

Since my last post I have accomplished a great deal, purging and condensing. My room(s) look so much better.
I can breathe, my room(s) can breathe and feel lighter.
I know what I have and where it's located. Paper is organized, dies, embossing folders, and stamps have been purged and condensed, Also "stuff" that I was hanging on to and I've moved 3 times, and never used... it was time to let it go!
I refuse to let my supplies outgrow their current space and I will use what I have in my inventory.
Purging and organizing is an eye opener.
In addition my creative juices are flowing again and I want to show my favorite red rubber stamps some luv in 2022.
