CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK-Organizational (#91) & A MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE

Hello All & Happy Memorial Day to you (if you celebrate it)!

If you are the kind of crafter that I am where you find yourself organizing your space or your crafty items a lot then maybe today's tip can be helpful.
It is this: ORGANIZE TO SUIT THE WAY YOU CRAFT.


It may seem like a simple tip but I think sometimes we stress on how to best organize items even after we have moved them 3 times in one month. For me, what has worked was to simplify. Organize by color for certain crafty items like paper, buttons, brads, scraps, flowers and ribbon.

Then subdivide according to what you use most often. For instance, I know I use bling and pearls often so I actually have containers that hold my bling & pearls and it is close by my work station for easy access.

I could probably go on about organization but I won't. I think it is as much a matter of preference as it is necessity. My only hope was to offer up a couple of my personal tips that I thought might best help you. As crafters, I think we are open to suggestions, advice and always evolving. I sure do hope this little tip helps someone out there who find themselves in an organizational rut.

AS FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE...

I wanted to take a moment to say to all those courageous men & women, past & present who have fought to protect our freedoms, our nation and our way of life...THANK YOU KINDLY! This includes my dear husband!

Also, to the families left behind as well. It is a life of sacrifice, honor & true commitment to a cause greater then one's self.

Have a great week & a wonderful holiday!

  1. Sonia, aren't we all always trying to organize our "stuff" better? Good tips.

    What a wonderful video. As Americans, we should be mindful of the great sacrifices our military and their families make every day for our freedoms, not just on Memorial Day! Thank you to you and your family for the committment and service.

    Hugs
