SOS - Open House Challenge

Hi All!
I stumbled across this new Challenge Blog Shopping our Stash and I am thinking that it is going to be fantastic! At the moment they are offering some very sweet blog candy - check out the link on my right sidebar and today they annouced their first Challenge! They are kicking their site off with an Open House Challenge - to enter you just need to link a post showing a photo of your Crafting area! Simple as!

I know I have posted a photo before of my area - but things constantly change around here!

THE CALM BEFORE THE CRAFTING STORM!
This shows the new white shelving unit I got for Mother's Day to house my Cricut and Cartridges - plus I have started making some paper animals from the Create A Critter cart to liven up my beautiful cement block wall! No - I didn't clean it for the photo either - I just haven't crafted for a while!

To the right of my L shape desks I have this really neat 24" deep cupboard that my baby BIL made. It houses my Scrapbooking Albums, my completed Kaszazz Card and Off the page samples, photo boxes up the top, my Ezy Press and any other bits and pieces I can shove in there. This is usually tidy - so still doing OK!

THE CRAFTING STORM!
This is all the stuff that I have unpacked from the boxes looking for a particular item - but don't have a space for yet - so I have just dumped it on top of the brown cupboards which seperate the double garage into the Office / Craft Area and the kids playroom. The cupboards are full too - with sewing supplies, my Kaszazz Business paperwork, CM Pages and Protectors ready for scrapping and lots of other goodies! Whenever I am in a hurry to clean up, I tend to just dump it all on top of the smallest pile. Not a good habit I know.

So as you can see the Shopping Our Stash blog may be just what I need to get this mess under control. If you have some spare time, wander over and have a look.

Cheers!
