Craftermath: March Wrap Up

The Craft and Hobby Association posted this last month, and I was delighted to find it. My craft room is a huge mess. I lobbied on twitter for someone to declare April "Clean Up the Craft Room" Month, and CHA retweeted. One  person who responded was smug because she already cleaned her craft room. {Pffffffft}

As you know, I have no shame, so I will show you that this is where I begin April, National Clean Up the Craft Room Month. Sadly, in order to make the card on March 28th, I had to clean up a little bit. I also threw away a stuffed kitchen-sized garbage bag because it was trash day. So this is actually cleaner than it was at its worst. Let's see if I do as well during April as I did during March!

the good thing is --your room looks like there's lots happening so the least important is to be tidy!

Good luck with the clean up!

I'd be hard put to choose a favorite. I did like the penny rug flowers even thought I am unlikely to ever make such things myself. The tie-dyed eggs ... now that is something I might try. I am already doing something similar to the owls with fabric. Every time I see the cards you make, I have the impulse to run out to Michael's or A.C. Moore's and buy out the card-making/scrapbooking department. So far, I have held myself in check.

I need to participate in this challenge. My room is so small that it doesn't take much to be a disaster. But it sure takes a long time to clean up!

I seem to have a Craftermath thing going on too...I still haven't decided on a stitching theme for April yet - you are far more organized than I am.
