Not waving but drowning



I went to a big craft show in London yesterday and bought this template by Anna Marie Designs. Our neighbour's daughter (Florence's big sister) will be 3 next month and I hope she will like the card as much as I enjoyed making it. Not only was it fun and quick to do, it also used up several scraps of card! I feel I'm drowning in paper and card at present; I spent an evening last week sorting and storing all the full size sheets, but it's the smaller bits which are the problem - you know, the ones that are too small to make a card but too big to throw away. All papercrafters have them! I do try to look through them before cutting into a new sheet, but they too need properly sorting and storing where I can more easily do it than at present. Most of them are in two small drawers so tightly packed that it takes more effort and time to find something useable than I want to expend, to say nothing of the recently created scraps which don't have a home because the drawers are too full. Well, I've recently acquired some more empty drawers (by transferring all my inkpads to a wonderful, custom built shelf rack) so this is my opportunity. And let's be honest, if I don't do it right now those empty drawers are likely to accumulate other odds and ends in them and my scraps still won't have a proper home!
