Confessions of a Craft-a-holic.

Well, HELLO.... long lost craft blog.  Not lost, really, nor forgotten.  Just pushed waaaaay to the side for waaaay too long.

After a surprise pass into Winter CHA this past week, I really started to feel bad about my half-ass blog intentions.   So here we go again.

Confession:  The MCR (Master Craft room) is a fuckin' mess.  Yes, strong language, because THAT's how messed up it is.  And the really bad thing is, because of its condition, I am reluctant to craft anything.  And because I am reluctant to craft anything, I'm feeling all blah.  This is a bad, bad cycle.

So, tonight, I am trying to be motivated enough to stay up late to tidy things up.
Of course, in my usual stupidity, I've decided to take everything OUT before putting anything away, reorganizing and moving stuff around etc.  Sigh.  It looks even more horrendous than when I started, but the cupboards are more organized- I promise!

So, confession #1- I am apparently a patterned paper hoarder.  As in, Jeezus Christ- did I really need to buy like every single paper pack DCWV ever made?  Surely my Mastercard doesn't seem to think so.  And neither do my Craigslist-found cupboards that seem to be bowing because of the weight of it all.

I need to be on paper probation.  Seriously.  No more buying paper- ever!  OK, so that's not realistic.  So how about, unless I've checked/used some of the stash I already have.  I know we all say it-  but this is serious.  I look at all of the paper stacks and feel bad. Such a waste for it to all be sitting in the cupboard when it should be made into pretty things to make people happy.   So that's it.  Need to make stuff with all that paper I already own.

The only way how?  Calendar in some scrapbook/craft time.  And no wavering, feeling sleepy, or any other excuses.  Just do it.
