So I decided
to make a new scrap desk video, as some of you will know a we while ago I moved
all my stuff out into the little shed we have outside, and I did love it for a
while, but I got very lonely out there and I felt I could only head off out
there when all the kids were asleep and my husband was home. Which isn’t as
often as I would like at nights (shift work) and then when he was home I would
feel rather guilty for heading on out to the shed….Plus in winter it was cold
out there!!! So more often or not I would head on out to the shed with great intentions
of making all this lovely stuff but alas it didn’t happen. Most of the time I
would head on out there with a bottle of wine, a good move and sit there and
get nice and toasted, then when the movie was finished I would go back inside
and have nothing to show for myself but puffy eyes the sad movie had caused
(The Note Book is way up on the movies that make me cry list)
So a couple
of months ago while I was sitting there
with my wine, puffy eyes and a good ole sob fest movie with nothing on my desk, I said stuff this, I
am freezing, I am lonely I’m going to move back inside!!
We have all
seen the YouTube vids of these wonderful scrap rooms, I covet these rooms but I
have neither the space or the money to fill up a big wonderful room so instead
when I moved out of the shed a lot of my stuff did not move with me L it was hard at first, but Now I only
buy what I need and quite frankly I don’t need to much, I don’t have 100 different
colored inks or glimmer mists etc., I don’t own a cuttlebug or big shot, I
don’t have 100 stamps, I only buy what I think I will use a lot of. So far this
is working wonders. Although I wouldn’t mind more punches…Now they would be
handy, but I’ll be stuffed if I’m paying close to $40 for one border punch …ill
make do without.
And the best
thing of all is the mess…I used to let my room get into some shocking states
pics below, I had so much stuff out there (Well still do) and I would never put
anything away …Ever !!!
It's so messy I cant even open the door
But now with
the desk back in the lounge and without all stuff around I have found keeping
tidy so much easier, now don’t get me wrong I can get my little corner in some
right states, but now instead of it taking me 3 days to clean up after about an
hour at the most is as good as new!!
Gah I can't stand my voice
Thanks for looking :)
hahahaha your husbands Epaulette!!! That made me giggle LOL
