I have all of my furniture in place and organized my paper punches. My stamping, embossing, and inking supplies are all together, and my ribbons and kids craft supplies are sorted into ArtBin Totes.
My work table is finally cleared off again, and I couldn't be happier to have a place to work.
I still have more sorting and purging to do, but I'm finding more ways to organize my craft supplies and to keep things stored properly.
One of the best things I did this week was to label my bins, so I know what's in them.
We are headed into the last week of the Craft Room Challenge. I'm going to continue with finding homes for everything and getting rid of supplies that I no longer need.

I Love You Crafts2018-01-22 | ...Craft Room Challenge - Organizing My Craft Room and Rearranging FurnitureP.S. I Love You Crafts2018-01-18 | I've finished up Week #2 of the Craft Room Challenge, and I'm headed into Week #3. I've made a lot of progress even though it may not look like it.
I needed to rearrange furniture and storage to make my room more user friendly. Of course to do that, I had to move some things out to make space.
I moved a stack of Art Bin storage cubes so that all three storage units would be together. I had to empty it to move it, and everything that was in it, ended up on my work table. I love the Art Bin storage containers. They come in different depths with and without dividers, so they have something suitable for all of my crafting needs.
Then I cleared off the top of the filing cabinet so my husband can move it this week, and that stuff ended up on my table too. My work table is back to being a mess. I might put everything in a tote until I have time to sort it, so I'll have a place to work again.
I have come up with a few organizing systems that I like. Store scrapbook paper has always been a problem. I'm working on stacking it in one of the cubes and labeling the side, so I know exactly what's there.
I put my loose pens in buckets that I hung on the wall with Command Hooks. I need to see what else I have that can go in buckets, and get a few more.
I think I'm going to need more Art Bin storage cases to go in my rack. I know I certainly have enough craft supplies to fill them.

With some supervision, this project is easy enough for kids to make. They will be excited to create gifts for parents and grandparents.

To make your mug last longer, hand wash only and do no scrub.
To set the marker, place mugs in cold over. Then turn over on 250 degrees and heat for 2 hours. Turn oven off and let cool before removing mugs. It's important to let your mugs heat up and cool down with the oven or they will crack.

My niece has tried all of the different recipes that she's seen on YouTube and Instagram.

Do you know what a RAK is? It's a small act of kindness that you do for someone else for no reason. It's a gesture to brighten someone's day.
It doesn't have to be a huge event or expensive. It can be as simple as baking brownies and surprising your co-workers by leaving them on their desks with a nice note.
These cards are 3" x 3" and use two stamps by Simply Stamps. The one on the front say Keep Calm You've been RAK'D, and the one on the inside says Random Acts of Kindness. There's enough room inside for a short not or for you to sign your name.

I Love You Crafts2017-03-28 | My 11 year old niece is a huge YouTube fan, and one of her favorite videos to watch is about How To Make Slime.
There are so many different recipes for making slime, so we tried some different supplies to see what works best.
Basic Supplies:
Glue - We used Elmer's white glue and also Elmer's gel glitter glue. If you're going to make a lot or experiment, I recommend buying a huge classroom jug of glue. We had 5 small bottles, and it kept us occupied for 2 hours. Shaving Foam - You want FOAM, not lotion or cream. The cheap store brand shaving foam is fine. The first time we made slime, we didn't use shaving foam. It still turns out, but it has a different consistancy and it's not fluffy slime. Borax - I had trouble find borax. They had it at my local Super Walmart. You can also order it on Amazon. http://amzn.to/2o83R2m 1 cup of warm water Hand Lotion Hand Soap Ultra Fine Glitter (optional) Craft Paint (optional)
These were the supplies that we used, but we also saw some tutorials use foaming face wash and contact lens solution. We don't know why they use them, but I wondering if it has something to do with keeping it from growing mold. I don't know....it's really just a guess.
I had not heard about using hand lotion, but this really made a difference in the finished slime. If you use lotion, the slime stretches. The more you use, the more it stretches.
We tried mixing the ingredients in different orders, but the method that we used worked the best.
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of Borax powder in 1 cup of warm water. This is our secret activator.
We did not have measurements for the other ingredients. You can make a small batch or a large batch. We found the it was easier to get a good consistency in small batches instead of making a big batch.
If you are adding craft paint to color it, mix it with the glue before adding shaving foam. Makayla forgot to add it in one batch so she added it after everything was mixed and it was a HUGE mess.
You can add small things to the slime to add texture. We tried Perler beads, and they worked pretty good, but we want to try some other things.
Visit my website www.psiloveyouscrapbooking.comUse Adult Coloring Book Pages to Make this Fun Project - Cool Sphere or OrbP.S.

I Love You Crafts2017-03-20 | This is the first card in a series of Easy Handmade Cards. I want to help people who are just getting started with card making.

I Love You Crafts2017-03-16 | I'm learning how to do watercolor painting, and I really enjoy it. I'm not very good at it, but I found this Canvas block with resist. I knew that it would be an easy project.
I want to encourage people to try new arts and crafts. There is such a therapeutic benefit to crafting and creating. Don't be afraid to fail!
I found the watercolor paint set and the canvas at Tuesday Morning. My local store recently expanded, and they have a nice selection of arts and craft supplies.
The canvas has gold and clear embossing. The watercolor won't cover it, so the word Hello and the hexagons show through the paint.
This easy watercolor project is for a Creative Arts Collaboration for Love Spring Art. #lovespringart2017
Gift bags can be so expensive. Solid colors are inexpensive, and you can buy them at the dollar store or WalMart. If you want plain white or Kraft colored gift bags, you can buy them in bulk for well under $1.00 each.
The plain gift bags can be decorated using rubber stamps, die cuts, ink, scrapbook paper, and other supplies. You can personalize them with names too, using either letter stickers or alphabet stamps.
I used a metal die from Spellbinders, white card stock, the Elegant Elephant Stamp from Simply Stamps, glitter glue, and ribbons and trims to decorate this gift bag for a baby shower gift for a girl.How to Weed and Apply Vinyl Using Transfer Tape - Decals Made With Cricut Explore or SilhouetteP.S. I Love You Crafts2017-02-25 | Cutting vinyl with the Cricut Explore is very easy, but weeding it and applying it to a surface can be confusing.
After cutting this vinyl decal with the Cricut Explore One, I weeded it help from an exacto knife. It's important to do it slowly and to be patient.
Then I used Cricut Transfer Tape to put the vinyl onto a wooden picture frame. Sometimes it is called application tape, but it does the same thing.
I give you tips on how to get the letters straight and lined up, and I will tell you about the different types of vinyl for cutting with the Cricut Explore and Silhouette Cameo.
I used Oracal 651 in silver for this project. I ordered it from Expressions Vinyl. They have a good selection of colors, fast shipping, and you can order small quantities at a reasonable price.
The following are affiliate links where you can buy the projects I used.
My choice for Transfer or Application Tape - It's clean making it easier to line up. amzn.to/2I3MiYA (affiliate link)Learn to Make a Water and Sky Card Using a Ship Stamp from Simply StampsP.S.

If you choose patterned papers from the same kit or color pallet, you can make a whole stack of these in no time.

Our Tuesday Morning recently expanded, and they had a generous selection of scrapbooking and crafting supplies this week.
Martha Stewart supplies were in the flyer, but they really did have a lot of it. I did get some adhesive rhinestones, pearls, and other embellishments though.
They had a good selection of Prima flowers and quite a few things for mixed media, which I'm really excited to try.
I forgot to mention that I got my pretty pink American Crafts self healing craft mat from there.
