    This is a very nice teachers tool kit. I love all the drawers. Maybe on the side of the baskets with the 5 drawers, you could put small paper tablets. Also, with no glue or command straps holding things down, won't it be all over the classroom & the pencils & markers all on the floor, etc? Maybe your children are older, then it would work. Just a thought. But I do love the idea, especially for a craft room! Thanks for sharing! ♥️☺️🫂🧵🪡🧶🐾🦋🌹✨️

    You are doing a fantastic job! I’m ashamed to admit it but my house is just…horrible. There are several reasons for this: 6 of us in one small home, I have autoimmune diseases that slow me down with chronic pain, taking care of my elderly mother, taking care of my grandson, and honestly…depression. My surroundings are an outer expression of an inward thing. I really believe it. I have wonderful people that I adore in my life and home but mental health cannot always be argued with like that. It can be cruel and illogical. So you are inspiring me to give myself some grace and work on it as much as I can, while also not overwhelming myself. So thank you for that! You really are taking so many steps forward! Be proud of yourself…you deserve it!

    I think glue dots would work. They will connect things together but you can still pull them apart. Bargain Bethany said she uses balloon dots but they also sell some in a little package as well. This would work for craft supplies too.

    I like the configuration of the vanity organizers in the middle. I agree it’s too much with them on the sides too. Love this idea. I agree with the Velcro dots, very good idea. I love how pip watches you like all that wasted energy on that stuff, you could be petting me!

    Maybe on the ends you could add a couple of the command- like hooks for a couple of lighter weight things to hang off of. Love the setup though. It would also work for a crafting area.

    All are great! The one i would really like to make when i get my bedroom more tidy is tte one you made for the kitchen. I make a lot of my jewelry and this oukd be great for my necklaces. Also i woyld like to make a couple to take to my craft sales for tge necklaces to hang. I think this is a super idea! In my kitchen i hage very little room so i keep all my spatulas and mixing spoons in an antique crock of my Mom's. I do like the zip tie zipper pouches an idea for my card making embelishments but i would like to figure out how to make them more up and down rather than in a slant. Maybe if the base was higher up somehow it woukd be cool such as on a block of wood with those U shaped nails hammered down over the metal part of the towel rod base. Make it higher sonehow and cut a wood round tge circumphrance of tge pie pan. The plastic lazy susan tye Dollsr Tree now sells for spices may be an idea. I am interested in your ribbon organizer as i use lots of ribbon and fir now just have tgem in plastic storage boxes with holes threw at each end and wood dowels from end to end with the ribbon inside. I couldn't quite see how you pulled the ribbon out and it looked like you could only store 8 rolls total. Your ribbon holder woukd be great for dowel rods, paint brushes, makr up brushes also. Great mind invents great solutions. Hage yiu vone up with an idea for tte square you took off tye bird feeder? I woukd hook all together and hang it up and use for dangly earrings the kinds with fish hooks style. Blessings, Rebekah

    Mam, I am so proud of you! I saw one of your videos two weeks ago when you showed us the spare bedroom and thats my living room. I wrote to you that my goal was to have the living room fixed up by July 4th so I can decorate. Tge holiday came and went. My dining room table has tons on it from my move in Feb. Im guilty as my Dad can for a meal. My boyfriend and I go out for his bday dinner and then he goes home as there is no place to sit in my living room. My Mom left all to me and i was hoping to huy out my siblings so i could stay living at my Moms but, my sister wanted to make lots of money and i had to leave. During covid many apartments not taking on new residents and all I could find was an efficiency. I woek 11 hour days on my feet most days with a disabled leg. I get home and no energy to work on my place. Now Friday, July 5th get home from work to find we all recd letters taped to our doors an investment company is coming to take a tour of apartments randomly. Management doesnt know ehat apartments will be looked at. Inspection will be the 10th. I lookrd ariund and started to cry and said out loud OH JESUS PLEASE HELP ME. It is 97 degrees in Northern VA today. I do not have AC in my kitchen, bathroom, hallway. All I feel kike i am doing is moving stuff to another room. I have 2 small closets and thats it. I have 3 kitchen cabinets only. Pots and pans are in the fridge and food canned goods etc in the oven. I have one small kitchen counter. I cannot take off work this week my vac is in August with my Dad. Tge letter said there cannot be anything in front of the windows or we will be in violation of agate. Im doomed! My couch is in front of the living room window and in my bedroom is my sewing machine cabinet i have no other place for either. I pray they do not pick my place. Tomorrow morning i will work on my living room befire i drive to work at 7. When I come home i will work all thru tge night and same on Tuesday night. I donated all my things once i found out my Mom left all her furniture to me. Her wishes were gor all her beautiful suits and blouses to be donated to the group of women leaving the military pr going back into tge work force. I kept sone of tye blouses I gave her and her sundresses as we were the same size. I too have tons of crafts and no craft space until i can buy a home and prices ate so high in VA who knows when that will be. Tye head if sunday school said o can donate craft suppkies to tte church for tge children which i am happy about. Seeing your craft room and yiur progress has inspired me greatky. I am sorry for all the typos i hage tried to catch many. I have an old phone and i have bad carpal tunnel . The milk crates are a great idea. I live on tte 3rd floor, mo elevator so easy yo carry down. I think lots will be going into my trunk tomorrow night. Also i can out milk crares on their side and wire tie them together and stand on end or put on tge end of my bed and put fabric in there. All my fabric are in heafty bags. I am excited abiut this idea now. See, this video helped me. Blessings, Rebekah

    An additional aspect of clutter control is not bringing anything else in the house. Allow yourself only 5 or so projects to work on and the supplies involving them. Get rid of old supplies for projects you know you aren't as interested in anymore. Having all these lingering projects staring at you to be done is overwhelming. Only having a handful and just working on those feels manageable and rewarding!
