      Exactly and they will never reach the next level of consciousness due to their EGO.
      Edit:::i am learning from past hurtful comments from people, I hid my craft paints, books AWAY in bags boxes ,under the bed+wardrobe so our home looked like a showroom for others and all tidyed up. NOT ANY MORE!. Lockdown has been the best thing ever. Found myself again. All paints out. Haters sod OFF learnt so much about myself. And also fact that whoever puts labels on others just shows how they feel about themselves. I forgive everybody. I am not a victim. I feel NO pain. I am Greatful for this life.

      I had my nieces over to do some scrapbooking and when my brother drop them off he took a look around my room and just stood there quietly for a minute and he said you got a couple of four wheelers here! I never looked at it that way but I’ve been collecting stuff for 30+ years between my knitting and crocheting and then I moved into Making jewelry and then about 15 years ago scrapbooking and some stamping. It does all add up after a while but I bargain shop and some was given to me by people no longer did those crafts anymore. A friend of mine moved and gave me all of her jewelry stuff and when mine and my husbands moms passed away I inherited all of their stuff!

I sent cards of thanks to every police station in Philadelphia, New York city, Seattle, , Chicago , Portland, Kenoshia, Washington DC, some cities in NJ.
    I never expected to hear back from their commanders but i did. Only cities were Philadelphia and overwhelmingly from New York City.

    I love love, love your craft room. I’ve been watching craft room videos for awhile so I can decide how to do my new room and I find yours is the most practical, user friendly and has about the same amount of stuff I have! I was looking at going a totally different way but this is so perfect for me. TFS! Oh yeah, it would be great if you could have someone (or you if you’re handy) put full extension drawer slides on your stamp dresser. You can buy a big pack of them on Amazon for around a hundred bucks. You would get so much more enjoyment out of your stamp drawers if you didn’t need three hands & your knees to hold them while you rifle through them. I’m putting them on the IKEA drawers as I put them together instead of the ones that come with them. So much nicer!!

But millions (well almost) of embellishments and ephemera. I am successfully ignoring die cuts. My crafting area is in continual flux. Yet there is always a vision and hope of the could be.

    Reorganizing is never ending. I also get becoming crazy when I don't have things put away. Most of the time it is because someone in my family that borrows something and does not put back which if they do not know where it goes then it is better they just toss the item on my desk. I am just happy they bring the item back. Your craftroom is beautiful.

A couple of years ago I transferred my stamp sets that were in dvd cases into storage pockets (for 4 x 6 stamp sets) and I couldn’t believe how much more room I had created. A local church took the empty cases to create bible study kits for the youth members. Thanks again for the inspiration.

      @@BromeroCards I’m going to get real with you but, “Only for a moment, then the moments gone”,
      I’ve watched many videos on foiling. So when I finally get the courage to try it, I’m not sure which video I should follow. That uncertainty sends me into a UA-cam rabbit hole 🕳 and I see all of these “Easy ways” to do foiling. I just get lost inside myself as to which method I should try. And after spending three hours of searching with nothing to show for it, I’m foiled out.
      That probably doesn’t make any sense. Idk 🤷‍♀️
      Then the hoarder inside me freaks out because I only have three rolls of foil.😳
      What if I use all of my foil and don’t make anything I can use? 😱
      What will I put in that empty mason jar?

    I have moved several times and each time the size and configuration of y craft room changes!
    Right now I’ve become so frustrated with my current “ make do” organization systems. ( By make do I mean using the cheap stuff that I’ve collected over the years of my crafting , that doesn’t really work, it I’ve “ made it do” ! Lol! )
    For my birthday this year I’m going to drive the 3 hours to my closest IKEA to buy some well planned and thought out storage items. I’m in a frenzy of measuring ( space and existing storage that I’m keeping) and searching the internet for videos about craft space organization and storage ideas! So thank you for this video!
    I’m also thinking of making some UA-cam videos so info about filming is very useful too.
    So as a solution for your Copic markers I have this to suggest- I have all of the colors and was really struggling with storing all,these markers in a way that I could use them effectively.
    So I went on Etsy website and there are sellers who make a laser cut wood, organizer that fits all the Copic marker colors, and it will fit in the top shelf of the IKEA Raskog cart.
    So now I just roll my Raskog cart over to my work area and there are all my Copics....or I can lift the whole organizer unit out and set it anywhere I’m working ....I have all my Copic colors at my finger tile! So easy to color now!
    You don’t need to keep it in a Raskog cart , it’s very sturdy and since it can be lifted out to sit on a table, I would think it could be stored on a shelf.
    Also a tip- Raskog carts make useful,storage solutions if you store them under a stand up style desk, and just pull out a particular car as you need what’s stored on other. I use these for un” most used” supplies. Also ichaels makes a version of the Raskog that’s larger than the IKEA one and larger than the Michael’s copy of the Raskog cart. It’s the same width but is 24 inches long! So offers much more storage!
    Maybe someone can use this tip.
    Also, if other pens/ markers are a similar size or smaller, the laser cut wood organizer might work for other pens you have.
    It’s also just visually pleasing to see all the Copics arranged by color , and it’s a very tactile satisfaction to touch all the markers in their organizer! ( I am visual and tactile kind of artist, I love textures! ) This is really working for me.
    I can’t remember who I bought my organizer from, but just go onto the Etsy website and search for Copic organizer . Check it out and see if you like the organizers and if they would work for you.
    I have 7 die cutting machines! And I’m seriously thinking of buying a Brother scan n cut! Lololol! ((I have a Cricut maker but I really dont like it)
    . And each of my die cutting machines serves a slightly different purpose! So no shame in having a lot of machines, if crating makes you happy , then go for whatever makes crafting more fun and easier!

      @@BromeroCards You are so sweet! I’m going to check and see if they have what I’m looking for before I go. ( a huge Kallex unit is the main thing, and some of those small drawers like you have)
      I live right between 2 IKEA stores, both 3 hours away! If there’s something I can’t live without, and it’s not in stock at one store, I will just order it or go to,the other store ( any excuse for a mini vacation to get out of the house now that we CAN get out of our houses!)
      It’s sort of a exploring mission also.....to see what they have that I might be able to use beyond the Kallex and drawers. Those things that you wouldn’t have thought to use, until you see them set up at the store ..
      If you look at Ikeas website and put in “ your store” you can see if an item is in stock. So I’m doing that for items that catch my eye online.
      And since I’m a visual and tactile person, so I need to see things, how they are used and touch them too.
      . And I’m going to use the trip as an excuse to explore a city I’ve never visited before, eat good food, visit an art museum , re stock some supplies at new craft stores and artist supply stores , be a tourist !
      Best of luck in your newly organized craft space!

I like making greeting cards but also love my art journals and junk journals so I have a collection of them. Also I like having BOOKS of birds and butterflies for collage. I also collect fountain pens. You have me beat with stamps, I have never seen so many stamps and love it!

    You have a really nice room Ricky! I love that not all of your stamps are in sleeves (yet) and that you're room is still a work in progress. Having a place for everything so everything can be easily put back in it's place is the key to having and keeping an organized room. I had that with my last craftroom and then we moved to a smaller house and now I am back to where you are with working out where everything should go. It's fun but can be frustrating until you get it all figured out. I also really like your lamps on your desk for doing videos. What a great lighting solution!
