A Blogger Christmas – Craft Edition

By Cards, Craftroom Storage, Planner Stationary & Accessories, Room Decor

Hey Everyone!

I’m back from a long and needed holiday hiatus! I know you may have already taken down your Christmas trees and forgotten that the holidays were only 3 weeks ago, however, I am still basking in the holiday decor at home and dreading taking all of it down in the upcoming week. For my “I’m back” post, I thought it would be fun to share a few awesome gifts I received during my hiatus. I was blessed to receive several gifts, but I wanted to share a few items that relate directly to my blog (or blog-post creating process). I filmed a quick video so you could see them.

Here’s a video of 6 items I received that are super helpful when you’re a crafty blogger.

Thanks so much for watching and stopping by and wishing you a happy new year!

Craft Room Ideas – Stamp Storage

By Craftroom Storage

Good afternoon all!

I hope everyone is having a nice & relaxing summer. I have been enjoying time outside, trying out new recipes from the  kitchen & getting some long overdue reading done. But, as you can probably note by the title of the post, I have also been working in my craft room. Today I wanted to share with you a system of storage that i’ve created for my room. I know there are literally hundreds of video’s and ideas out there.

I am currently using a dupe for the Avery Elle Stamp Storage envelopes that are sold online. I also love the idea of fridge bins like some other crafters have, however, those bins just don’t fit in my space. So, I had to come up with my own plan of attack.

Here’s what I came up with. This storage is by far my favorite. I have tried other types similar to a clip-it-up and even storing in a binder, but I find that this is the easiest way for me to find a set & then put them away quite easily as well. It has saved me SO much clean up time, I can’t even begin to express how awesome that aspect of this system is. Feel free to give this system a try and let comment below to let me know how it goes.

Corner Chomper

1″ binder ring

KASSET Ikea storage boxes

Magnetic Display Clips Galore!

By Craftroom Storage, Planner Stationary & Accessories, Room Decor

Hi All,

Every year around the holiday’s I seem to become a hoarder. I love to display and keep a majority of the cards and photos we receive and pin them up on the fridge or a mirror to enjoy throughout the season. I’m sure this year will be no different…but now I am prepped with these cute clips rather than dull, plastic, geometrically shaped magnets. Each of these clips have a magnetic back and are so fun to look at.

I have WAY more than what is displayed here. Look out for these at the upcoming craft fair and on Etsy.

Thrifting Treasures!

By Craftroom Storage, Room Decor

Hi all,

Today I have something a little outside the “norm” for my blog. As some of my friends know, lately I have been into visiting the thrift store to look for projects I can refurbish. I already finished several projects and they have been a hit with friends. As I begin to do more projects, I have decided to document them on the blog to show you just how awesome a little do-it-yourself project can turn out.

For today’s thrift store find, I found this beautiful shelf at my local thrift store.

Shelf Before - prepped to paint

It was in great condition and had just a few minor distressed marks on it. I thought it gave the piece a little character and didn’t mind them at all. I used some lemon all purpose cleaner to remove some debris and dust. I didn’t need to sand it or do any additional work.  Truly, it was in ready-to-paint condition. I gave it about two coats of white spray paint.

Shelf Painted - Ready for embellishments

Thankfully the paint dried pretty quickly and the fumes faded out in a few hours. Next, I used some contact paper and embellishments to dress up the entire unit.

Shelf - All Finished!

Here it is! I can’t believe how easy this project was for me. Usually there is some serious back-end work involved before I can get a refurbished piece to look this way. I’m quite happy with this piece and think it looks just as fabulous in person.

Shelf - After

If you’re interested in some unique pieces for your home – check out the local thrift store. You never know what you’ll find!

Happy thrifting!
