Craft fair series mini coffee cup- revisited
Hello friends,
Today I am revisiting a previous craft fair idea. In the first video I used a template from Deb Valder who provides a great tutorial for covering these tiny coffee cups with patterned paper.
These are perfect for shower gifts, craft fairs and other civic events.
I used patterned paper from Wild about plaid (purchased from Hobby Lobby), The dies for the project come from

A KONMARI Craft Room Clean up – update
Hello my friends. The video series of my KonMari inspired craft room series continues. Today I am putting this post in with the series, because this is where I am. I have filmed and edited many videos for the series filmed over the last few days. I reclaimed my space for the time being and will focus on the craft fair items again over the next week.
Today’s tip, Those bins. Large bins, small bins it doesn’t matter if the bin is a box or a plastic garbage bag. Just make sure you have some on hand so you can quickly macro (sort into larger categories) then have a bin for things that just don’t belong. I have a tote filled to the brim with things like wax paper. Which I do use in my craft room. However, their home still needs to be the kitchen. Reducing stuff = reducing clutter.
There is a larger bin of things I need to weed through, find a home for or even donate, trash or sell. Remember, be fast and furious. Do not over think. If your item doesn’t provide joy or serve a purpose, its time to thank it for the service it provided in your life and let it go.
Have a great day everyone! If you have questions, please let me know. Send an email or leave a comment down below. Until next time… stamp happy and be a blessing!
Episode FOUR KonMari Method Craft Room Reorganization
Today’s hot tip:
A label maker is your best friend! I use a brother p-touch.You can purchase this through my Affiliate link here.
I do think the refills on Amazon for the tape are more expensive than the generic kind sold on Ebay. Most label makers will tell you what type of the tape they take. These versatile little machines make life and organizing a joy.
The pictures are out of sequence and for that I offer my sincere apologies.
The first picture is a current look at the floor behind my desk. A majority of these items were on the counter. I honestly just swiped them onto the floor. A mass majority of this is actually trash. Paper trash, old mail, empty containers a plate and a spoon. (Hey don’t ask, I had the munchies… lol)
The second thing that is critical for your craft room organization are high quality thick plastic trash bags. It is amazing to me how much packaging I’ve managed to hang onto with the precept of “I can use this for a paint pallet” or “This packaging would be great to make a ghost shape since its clear plastic”. Yes save a few especially if you have an upcoming project in mind. Otherwise. Well… there’s a trash bag for that.
The last picture represents a current (7/11/2018) pile of crap on the floor behind my desk. It is best to have some clear surfaces. I actually plan to grab a pillow and sit on the floor to sort the crap out. It is important that as you work, you try to have at least one or two areas completely clutter and crap free.
This is the main work counter after the declutter.
Main desk top cleaned up. The rolling cart still needs to be done. Starting with a clean surface just helps your personal stress level.The floor looks like the picture below.
CRAFT ROOM SERIES Episode 3 — Reclaiming my space
Hello my friends!
I am actually amazed how quickly today’s clean up efforts went. For one thing this side of the craft room stays fairly tidy. Most of the problems stemmed from needing things to have a more permanent home. I also have discovered my own organizing style. I recommend you watch videos from Cas, she is “clutterbug” on youtube. Click here for her channel. I highly recommend you watch her series on what bug you are. I am a classic ladybug. Which is why I have such a hard time with keeping things in their place.
No more excuses, Its time to tackle the room once and for all.
One of the things I am finding in the journey is the need for more trash bags. I am not exaggerating when I say I have taken two yard waste size trash bags out of this room in the last 24 hours. I’ve donated some stamps and scrapbooking things to the local thrift store and am already feeling much less stressed.
I’m apparently a little off since I still have craft fair things to make and the show is the 28th. About 2 1/2 weeks away my friends.
Let me know how you are cleaning up your space and what is working for you and what isn’t working for you. Please visit my social media sites by clicking on their respective buttons above the header of the website on the upper left side.
Have a great night. Until next time, stamp happy and be a blessing!
