    *Is way too jealous of Irishgirl62's ribbon*
    :O


    Me too :T

    I have an ikea billy bookcase full of stuff, its half organised half chaos. I then have loads of little boxes all over the place.

    I aim to have a room like then after i have moved.

    Really need to find a place where i can pick up loads of cheap ribbon, i use so much of it, but i find it very expensive/

    I have made a few things today, i was quite pleased with myself.

    I made 30 halloween trick or treat bags, wrapped all my door plaques and sock hangers.

    Cut and folded 100 card blanks. Using my new x cut gullotine which i love.

    Made and printed 3 free personalised xmas stoies, then started to make the covers after i binded then together using the sewing technique i learnt at school. I just have to finish of the decoration tonight when all my kids are sound asleep.

    My SIL wants some bulbs for the garden for xmas a she is gardening mad so i need to make something for her. Maybe i'll make some bulb jars. I'm a bit jar obsessed at the minute, but there quick and easy. I dont have a lot of patience with crafting - with 3 kids it needs to be a 1 night job cos if it takes longer it will never get finished.

    Then i need to make a little book for my brother full of cheesy chat up lines to go in his ''pulling'' hamper.

    There are quite a few bits i need to order of ebay but dont know wheter i should or not cos of the postal strikes. But i need them to finish things off that ive started.

    i buy my ribbons on ebay usually from sellers abroad and buy them in reels as it works out so much cheaper.
    I have an expedit the large one in my craft room cos i like to see what i have cos in boxes i forget whats in them

    Your room is lovely BUT very tidy for a crafter. :rotfl:

    My craft stuff is in the office so i have to fight DF if i want to make anything as he is always in there on world of warcraft.

    He moans that its a bit messy as i have projects scattered all over so i tell him that ''creativity stems from chaos''.

    He's told me that when we move he's making me go and craft in the shed outside. :mad: Like that will ever happen.;)

    Irishgirl: my boxes are clear see through one's - i buy them from the craft shop, i too have to be able to see what i have.
