HUGS. I’m hearing you. Been where you are, hospital too. Find a good friend or therapist so you don’t complain to your kids. Spray your favorite perfume in your Craft Room! Have it set up for music, open the blinds…activate your senses. Rule: No one can get to you in there; You’re safe.

It never accured to me to organize all of my favorite stuff first. I'm going to start doing that now. I think it'll definitely help me move through my organizing much quicker.

Teacher tip here. If you’re using reclosable plastic bags for storage of any item that’s not food or absolutely needs to be airtight punch a small hole in the center.I used to use a compass. It is really easy then to squish out all the air in the bag and make it absolutely flat.

Thank you D Boutier for the teacher tip of punching the hole in the plastic bags. I use baggies all the time but have never thought of that, I always spend the time to squish out the air. I wonder if paper items should use the baggie with or without the hole in it. How do you determine which items should be stored air tight and those it doesn't matter.

@dboutier5636

I think a tiny hole doesn’t matter unless it’s food stuff. Especially since they will be packed together with other plastic bags I don’t think any air ever interest them. At least that’s what I think. Not sure about if I was trying to preserve stuff for decades

I’m just now starting to reorganize my craft supplies after a huge downsize of craft space, so I really needed your video today. There are two pivotal points I learned. First, put away the things you love, first. Second, box up everything else that you can do without and put a “revisit” date on the calendar. I LOVE both of these ideas, and most importantly, these concepts are helping me get past the feeling of being overwhelmed with the process. Thank you so much!!!

i LOVE the manilla folder and storage bag idea!

Loved this video. I also purged all my hallmark christmas ornaments and gave them as part of the grands christmas presents. I have 8 grandchildren. I lined up 8 chairs and put the name of each grandchild oldest to youngest. Then I laid out each of the series of ornaments on my dining room table. I sorted each collection by date . The oldest date went to our oldest grand the newest date went to the youngest. Each grandchild received their 1st baby ornament. Now some of the grands are not married so I also created for each a bag with an inventory of each of the ornaments . These bags not only made it easy to keep the ornaments in but also store. Since some are newly married they were excited to put them on their christmas trees as they did not have money to go buy ornaments. Not only did this bless me but I get to see each of the ornaments on there christmas trees. The grands all remember these ornaments over the years on my christmas trees. Each of the grands ended up with 10 ornament each which means I eliminate 80 ornaments in total. I wished I had known about the file folder trick I would have used that idea. Just to let you know my oldest ornament was 1986 up to 2010. I stopped collecting in 2010 when we moved. You are such a blessing to me . I am getting too wordie will stop and start purging more items.

Norrine, I cannot thank you enough for your videos. I found them just last week and binged watched several of them this past week. I am into acrylic art, farmhouse DIYs and jewelry making crafts. I sold my last house almost 3 years ago because I needed more crafting space, both storage space and my own space to craft. Now I have more space but I found I just filled it up more and more with stuff, and knew I needed to recycle, throw out and donate so much but I dreaded the chore. I had very little organization and didn’t know where or how to start. It was overwhelming and I was at a point where I started losing interest in my crafts. Well, after watching your videos and tips, and seeing you in action, I woke up Saturday, and dug in. Needless to say, 6 hours later, I had purged and organized 3/4 of my room and closet! It feels so good!! I’m excited about some new organizational pieces I came up with and when I’m finished I will share with you what I’ve done. Sorry so long winded, but thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are an angel, may God bless you and give you comfort in your difficult times, peace, and grace for your kindness and humanity to others. Love you.

It’s complete with replacing the student desk I’ve used for sewing for over 60 years (yes, I’m almost 74 and my mother bought it when I was about 10), building a “real” cutting table, sidewalk-donating a hodgepodge of garage sale shelves and bins in favor of Ikea matched units. I’m determined to purge my supplies but have a terrible time deciding. Like all DIY’ers, I see the potential everywhere plus I’ve rarely met a basket I didn’t like. You’ve given me some powerful tools (I also like power tools😊) that will be invaluable as I sort. So, I thank you and my children, who will inherit my stash, thank you.

I think that what we all have to realize is that our work areas, studios, etc are like our kitchens and they will get dirty and need cleaning more often. if you let it go, its ok. sometimes the dishes stack up too. we just have to get back in there. it is an never ending endeavor - we will never truly be done. our craft supply, needs, and wants are always changing. we have to be willing to adopt new ways of organizing it and go through it at least every few months. not the whole thing, just a box, type of supply at a time. This is just what I have finally learned this year. but, i'm still learning. I love your ideas, and I continue to change my idea of what organization should look like for me.

Oh and the little paper pads. So many fun things.

Spot on! Today I was finally catching up with “set-asides” just stashed down cellar right before gutting and remodeling our 60 year old kitchen started. I had actually placed “drop-dead date” post-its on a couple of smallish boxes of kitchen gear. Also, I had written notes to myself about finding a certain part of a small appliance, if possible. Today, I looked at an incomplete small ninja chopper, with the “dispose of after 9/17” date on it, and the description of the piece that it needed. Bloop! Into the trash. Then, I found the lost part, and tossed that too. More and more, these little dated guidance notes to myself have appeared, and I’m happy to see them. One less decision- I made that a while ago! Great idea with the inverted pleat bottom file folders, and the clear bag stiffener from file folders! They’re so common, I never actually looked at them for customization. ( correction- Years ago, I made a custom file folder card stock slip case for a small portfolio to protect the nice linen photo album cover when toting it around) As always, Thank you for your ample, yet concise, warmly delivered tips and true tricks! ❤️

I went through this with my parents' things after they passed away. At first you feel like you'll die, if you get rid of them, but after some time goes by, your brain kind of shifts. When you have 'permission' to keep them, you seem to be able to let go eventually. One tip is to just go ahead and USE the item in every day life until it wears out (or breaks?) enough to feel okay about getting rid of it. On a side note, sometimes just deciding to toss an item is incredibly freeing after the dread or anticipation of whether or not you'll ever get around to using a craft item.

I love these suggestions of boxes, your envelope dividers, date to use.

The card kits still allows them to creat, and with some simple glue, or at times I have those glue dots on individual squares, so I can include them, or put bows, gems, etc on them, any they just need to peel the second square off the back, when they are ready to use..... (Yep .... can you guess? I was a “room mom”, Den Leader, GS troop helper, Kindergarten Religous Ed teacher..... but mostly a stay at home mom for three kids, over 18 years..). I was working a small par-time job at a non-profit thrift store..... until live needed to change for my family and my parent’s, due to COVID. Many of the volunteers I worked with and became dear friends with, love a card for them and the kits (supplies I was done with, and thrifted items.... ). It is a win win.... I should expand to drop cards / and kits off at one of the local women’s shelters, food pantry, pregnancy centers.... etc

So happy I found you. I think the storage bag with file folder is awesome.

I think so too! Thanks, Sandy!

“DIE CUTS” I love to watch your Organization tips and stories. Thanks for sharing.

I forgot to mention “DIE CUTS” :-) Card making & other paper crafts are my newer creative outlet. Pre covid, I became friends with a dear woman who amazed me by having a ramp built up to her apartment door so I could come in, make cards with her, and most importantly, have a friend who had a house I could get into with my wheelchair 😁

I’m like you, in that a “good box” is hard to pass up. Do you store them separately from your room? What about jelly jars, and other repurposed items? Thanks 😊

As of late, I've been trying to get my cluttered life more under control. I'm not physically able to tackle large projects anymore (I have a 6 lb limit) but....what I've been trying is if I see it and it bothers me I fix it. Small projects like my laundry, a cupboard in the kitchen, a pantry shelf. or dust on my desk. Slowly, I'm not seeing stuff to bother me and I feel a lot better about things. (today it's my comforter, maybe tomorrow my drapes....who knows? LOL)

Hi!!!!! Please email me your address so I can get your die-cuts out to you!!!! CallClutterFairy@gmail.com I'm mailing this Saturday, 1/23/21. Congrats! :)

I love these tips about folding the file folder like a W to make them stand up "Brilliant" . Also, I also put things in baggies and by putting 1/2 a file folder and marking it, is a great idea. Well on to see how you do your die cuts. Thanks you for the video!

Staying on top of things can be a constant struggle. I think it's mainly about setting up systems that work for you. To do that you have to have to look at what is not working for you and what you would like to happen. They are 2 good starting points to make things easier.

Thanks Norrine. That’s really a gentle solution to help us move forward. I am encouraged by the peek behind your wall too. That holiday mess in my basement from last year just sat there and sat there. I hope you can take us along when the time comes to tackle your holiday stuff.
