Yikes. What don’t I hoard? So many different crafts projects have caught my eye over the years. I get excited, buy a bunch of tools and materials and books, and…. There they sit. Cringe. My current obsession is card making, which conveniently offers me the opportunity to make use of many of the different crafts materials I’ve collected over the years. I like the fact that it is so open ended and so many different materials can be utilized. The sky’s the limit.

Well first off, I am going to try and refrain from the word “hoarding”
But I am in my office right now, and here is what I have..
cutting boards-yes, more than one, paper cutters, scissors, glue-all kinds, paper/cardstock-every color, Markers-only Zig..(they rock!) assorted stamps, inks, punches, embossing tools, and accessories, stickers-dimensional-you name em, I probably have them, hot glue gun with extra glue, glitter, yarn, beads, brads–all shapes and sizes… Basically what I am saying is.. Create for Less keeps me looking like a store. I am my neighbors dream if they ever need anything

lots and lots of fabric,tons of ribbons, wreaths, trinkets and mini ornaments to go on the wreaths,tubs and tubs of lace, I use to adorn the dresses of the handmade Angels I make, tiny buttons, big buttons, and every size in between, not to mention the tools that go with every one of my many crafty things I make! Sometimes, I think one of these days, I might need a bigger house, just for the craft stuff,But,I sure enjoy being able to use my mind and hands to create, and I would go bonkers, if I couldn’t!

Ok, I have vast amounts of fabrics ranging from interesting sheers to cotton quilting fabrics, hand dyed pieces, and home decor fabrics. I like them all and collect them all. I also have a lot of paper which is organized in drawer units by color families. I love combining both into projects.
