While on one of my many interweb adventures, I found the blog post from Fusion Beads about March being craft month. This was very exciting and very timely. Fusion Beads has a daily craft challenge posted on their blog, and one reader has pledged to have their craft room cleaned to kick of National Craft Month. I am in the middle of cleaning my room, I want to have mine clean too!!!! Now the pressure is on, because I technically have today and tomorrow to have this accomplished.
This week has been cleaning, purging, organizing, whining, donating, whining, oh - did I mention whining?
How have I accumulated so much crap?!?!?

Hello, My name is Tish McDermott and I am a craft hoarder.
*applause*
It is so true, and I have come to understand this and embrace it. I even recently said no to an offer of a big stack of magazines. heh - you should have seen their face when I said no - EVERYONE knows they can off load their items on me. Not today Buckco!!
There are several things I like to do, of which you have seen pictures. My top three are jewelry, sewing and painting. My workspace, as is, will not accommodate all three. Well, I take that back, it would if I did one at a time, but I don't. I have all three going at once. That is what spawned the big clean.
I wont' post pictures yet. Some will gasp in horror, not being able to understand the tragedy of my room. Others will gasp, but inside they will be pleased. Then there one those who will cheer and scream and laugh, because they are not alone in their hoarding, AND I will make them feel good about themselves :)
Til then!

Best of luck! I am also a craft hoarder. Getting my craft room on order is high on my list of to dos as well. All the stuff makes it so hard to clear my head and be creative. Maybe I'll make National Craft Month my month to get it in order. . .maybe. Again, here's hoping your endeavor is successful.
