Today I managed to box myself in completely sorting out stash. The good news is I have three massive boxes of stash to get rid of. I am doing a sale in July which is purely for unwanted crafting items. I have loads to sell - all at 10p - £2 (most of it is 50p an item) and what i don't sell I am binning. There are loads and loads of mini album blanks, chipboard items, word books (you know the ones that spell LOVE, FAMILY, HOME etc) dozens of scrapbooking books and loads and loads of embellishments. Oh plus a load of paper and vellum (never use vellum)
I feel so much better now it is done and I have an empty cupboard. OK so it is a small one but heck.
No new scrapping today but I realised I didn't share the four pages I made for scrap whispers on UKS recently, so here they are
The streets of Paris with a cute cut file and faux stitching
Winter Summerland mini golf in Disney
mad moments at Park Fair character breakfast
and an old photo from 2010 of us on my 50th birthday.
Now I just might do some scrapping!
However, one more thing to share. I wanted a small watercolour sketchbook to play with just as a workbook for techniques and styles and so I ordered a watercolour sketch book which came yesterday. The cover was plain so I prettied it up.
I was quite pleased with the watercolour painting I did for the centre of the cover and even more pleased as it took less than an hour from start to finish.
Can't wait to start using it now. I am a great believer in pretty books making you want to work/write/draw
Today I am thankful that
- I have now finished work until mocks in November - yey
- I have sorted some stuff out and I will get better at de-stashing
- painting - I do love my new hobby
Congratulations on decluttering even one cabinet! I have an entire scrap room that needs a good going over. Oh, heck! Who am I kidding. . .I have an entire house that needs to be shaken out :-D
Love the beautiful cover you made on your watercolor book. I nearly fainted when you said "less than an hour!" That would have taken me weeks!
