3:41 p.m. - 2006-06-28 1) I didn�t know this would turn into a �project� But I digress . . . . To give some back history � I�ve been on the hunt, for years, to find a way to properly store and manage my crafting supplies. At present our spare room/my quiet place & craft room looks like we�re getting ready to go camping with all the large plastic tote bins. I have acquired quite a lot of paraphernalia over the 15 or so years I�ve been doing paper crafts. So the search for the perfect system has always been at the back of my mind. Back at the early part of June we went to a huge garage sale that a group of our youth put on to raise funds for their mission trip to Mexico. Amongst the In the other areas of the cabinet I could put baskets on shelves for the less stackable stuff (heat gun, stamp pads, ribbons, random stuff). For thirty dollars we couldn�t go wrong. As mentioned above, T told me very plainly that this was not a project that he could begin to help me with for quite a while. That�s fine; I had some stripping and refinished to do on it anyway. Last week, however, all that changed. On a weekend that we had absolutely NO social engagements, or �must do list� to accomplish � he decides that we absolutely MUST go out and find all the necessary hardware for the project. This ended up taking a good portion of Saturday afternoon and then again on Sunday afternoon. (But not all hardware was purchased � yet). Men seem to think that women are the ones who mull over purchases �. Not so in my household. My husband is incredibly methodical when it comes to shopping. Especially when it�s in a store that I have no interest in. But I digress. So, here we are on Wednesday and the project is back on the back burner. I still need and want to strip it, and summer has finally arrived which means its wwaaaaayyyyy to hot out to start this part of it. Maybe this weekend, this a lovely llloooonnnngggg weekend to kick off summer. I�ll keep you posted on this event as it rolls out. I�m still not counting on it being near completion until late August.
