Craft Room Tour 2019

[@MistyElam]

Thank you all so much for your sweet comments!! If you asked me a question, I will reply back to you as soon as I can. I apologize if it takes me a couple of days, I'm reading them every chance I get. If you are asking a question about an item you saw, please read the description above. It will tell you where to go and possible answer your question. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@MistyElam]

@Chris Wooten everything is listed over on my blog. With links directly to each item. Go to my Craft Room Tour post and scroll all the way to the botttom. You will find my supply list there. The risers are from Ikea. They are called Capita. The 6x6 paper storage is from World Market. I have a link to that as well over on my blog. My supply list wouldn't fit here in the description of this video. But please read the video description for my website. LEt me know if you have any problems. I might be able to add the links in a comment. Or at least tell you which row it's located in or something.

[@BoojiePanda]

The ink pad labels; a KZbinr named K Werner Design has a video on them called "Craft Room Organization - Ink Pad Labels". I hope those are the ones, they look somewhat identical. Although I don't see why you couldn't DIY those on sticker paper (removable sticker paper too) using your Silhouette or your Scan-n-Cut.

[@MistyElam]

Hi Sherry! Thank you for the info. That’s exactly what I did, I just made some with my Silhouette. 😊

[@stopthemadness4006]

This is the perfect crafty space. I adore ALL of it. I’m so happy for you, this will give you years of creative joy! I find the more organized we are, it leads to more crafting time with fewer distractions. Never apologize for what you have. You deserve what makes you happy! Thanks for sharing, I have learned much from watching. I know this is an older post, but I’m sorry you lost your sweet Taffy. Losing our pets is so hard, but I’m so glad you have those paw prints. I wish I had done that. Have a wonderful 2021. 🤩

Hello Shelly

[@lizannpulido]

Feel free to post the 2 hour craft room tour...I’ll make the popcorn! I love watching beautifully organized craft rooms - you put a lot of work into it- I can tel!

[@MistyElam]

Hahaha, thank you Elizabeth!! Ya know, you're not the first person to say that. If I can find it again and I have time to edit it, I just may do that. Thank you for encouraging me. Mmmm, popcorn sounds so good right now. It's one of the things I can't have anymore, thanks to all of my surgeries so naturally I crave it ALL THE TIME !!! LOL. Thanks so much for watching!! 💜 💜

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hi Elizabeth

[@shelleyvanhouten5459]

Great job! I love the wire holder for your 6x 6 paper pads, and the Desk risers, also all the drawers! 💜this is my second video of yours, the 1st Tour and now this one! When I’m done organizing and can create, I will watch your process videos, thank you! Don’t apologize for breathing, we are glad you DO breathe! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@MistyElam]

Well thank you for your kind words, Shelley. It took me a year or so to plan out exactly what I wanted because I knew I could only afford to do it once and the risers and drawers were at the top of my wishlist, for sure. Both are so useful!! Thanks again for watching. I wish you much success on organizing your creative space. 😊

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hi how are you doing my friend

[@craftsbypwilli2664]

You are just too adorable, “I’ll try not to breathe too loud”. 😆 It amazes me what people complain about. Absolutely amazing craftroom tour. I love how everything is stored and organized. Your craftroom inspires creativity. I’m not buying anymore paper pads myself, I need to use up what I have first. New subscriber and big thumbs up. 😊

[@MistyElam]

It amazes me too!! The woman doing the room tour was so sweet and it really made me mad that someone was being so nasty towards her. I just don't get it... Nope, no more paper pads for me either. This room is actually helping me to not buy more stuff. I love my craft room just the way it is and I don't want it feeling over stuffed again. That's something I didn't expect. These stamp companies make it hard though with new release every month... Well thanks so much for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate you.

[@denisehbisme]

I watched your video and love what your room looks like. Your storage ideas offered me some good ideas on how to use my space. Then I went to bed and when I awoke I put on the computer and it opened to your view of your old space and I thought I was in the wrong time zone and watched in wonder of what was going on. After about 45 seconds I pressed the button to go back to the last video that I viewed and realized that was your old space. Now I really think your room is fantastic! You must be so happy creating in this space! Happy for you! And honestly your old room has inspired me to go through my space more and purge what does not belong!

[@MistyElam]

Hahaha, that's too funny. Thanks for the chuckle. Isn't the transformation crazy?!? I still can't believe it sometimes. That truly makes my day to hear that it has inspired you. As hesitant as I was to share the Before video, it's comments like yours that make me so happy that I DID share it. =) Happy purging!! I hope a little purging/organizing brings you a new admiration for your crafty space.

[@lacesandribbons3895]

I would definitely love to see in your drawers because it gives me ideas on how to organize mine!!! And I’m Nosy🤣🤣💗👍🙌 great video ❤️

[@MistyElam]

Hahaha, I'm nosey too, I love seeing people's work space and how they organize everything. Here's the video I did for the drawers. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@debclark6026]

I love your room! I'm a big fan of Ikea pieces for a craft room. I love the risers you have on your workspaces! I can see how handy that would be. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video. I will be watching it over and over again to see how I can incorporate some of those ideas in my craft room.. ❤

[@MistyElam]

Hi Deb!! Please do!! And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you so much for watching and leaving me such wonderful feedback.

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hello Deb

[@mo9-76]

Hi Misty I had never seen you prior to watching this Craft Room Tour and you seem to be a very kind and humble person. You could be my daughter and for this reason I can say you are so sweet and considerate. Don’t pay much attention to people complaining, they will always find something to complain about. Your Tour video had a beautiful setup, great ideas, and tips. God bless you and press forward with your creative and awesome ideas! Thank you for sharing your space with us🌻

[@MistyElam]

Hi Mo!! Wow, what a wonderful and sweet compliment. Thank you very much. You just made my day. 🥰🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed my video, you are the reason I continue to do them. 💜

[@vickiedreamin590]

Beautiful! I love organized craft room tours! I would sit through 2 hours happily😀😀

[@MistyElam]

Hi Vickie!! Thank you so much. Me too! I’m the same way, I could watch craft room tours all day. I love learning new ways to organize. Well thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it. I actually thought about posting the two hour version but I can’t find it now! I have no idea where I saved it.I’ve looked for it several times because I was going to try and edit it down the best I could but I can’t seem to locate it. I’m sure I’ll find it someday, by then it will be time to record a new room tour. 😉

[@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto]

Wow! What an amazing transformation, Misty! I love your new room! It looks so bright and inviting! Love your storage solutions. Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@MistyElam]

Hi Michelle!! Night and day difference, huh? I will NEVER allow my room to look like that again. Well I don't have to. Everything has a home now so it makes cleaning up a breeze. Having a vision throughout the process really helped. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hi

[@loismeyer9417]

Thank you for putting all the hard work into listing out where you got all of your organizers!! That helps SO MUCH!! Sometimes I see something someone is using during a tutorial and wonder where they got it and am not sure where to go to look for it. This is perfect!! You did a great job on your Tour and were very helpful! (I'm so sorry about the passing of your dear sweet pets, though!) Keep up the great work!

[@MistyElam]

Hi Lois!! Thank you so much for your dear comment. I do miss my fur babies very much. I was actually thinking I could handle going to the Humane Society and adopting another little bundle of joy this weekend, but I just got news that one of my other cats won't be around much longer (he's got cancer in his tummy) so I've put the adoption on the back burner for now. As much as I love adopting animals, I just can't handle losing them!! I am sooooo happy that my links helped you. You are exactly the reason I do that. If I can help any of my viewers find something, I am happy to do so. I'm hoping you went to my blog post and not just the few I've listed in this video description, am I right? I just added today the items that are available from Amazon below all of the other items so if you click on any of the pictures, it should take you directly to that item. I hope that makes sense.... Thank you so much for watching, Lois. Did you happen to see my "before" video? YIKES!!! It's hard to believe it's the same room. =D

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hello

[@agarino2095]

I just finished watching your before video. You are like so many of us, it's a jungle out in there! I love how you transformed your space. Thank you so much for posting both videos. I just got a tripod to do my videos. I can use it to hold my phone while I file my room tour. I finally have a room! I am definitely going to scrap lift some of the ways you have organized things... oh ad the sound LOL it's not bad :)

[@MistyElam]

That's great that you have a room and a tripod!! The possibilities are endless now!! Lift as many ideas as you'd like. =) Thanks so much for watching!!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

I bet this gives you a real sense of peace now when you come to create. It’s very obvious you put a lot of thought into what you wanted and where you wanted it kept. Thanks for allowing us this inside look see. Patti

[@MistyElam]

It really does. I was just recently in the hospital for a week and when I came home, my hubby was cleaning the house (which I love him so much for) but when I walked down the hall and opened my craft room door to see that I had left it nice and clean, now THAT was a feeling of pure joy!! LOL I think because I had been saving for this for so long and had all that time to plan it out, I knew I wasn't going to be able to do this again any time soon so I HAD to get it right. I did LOTS of research and spent a lot of time on Pinterest. All of that combined is why I'm so proud of this room. AND it's something my hubby and I did together which makes it that much more special. =) It truly is my happy place.

[@stephenjohnson4879]

Your craft room is awesome. It’s really inspired me and given me some ideas for my space. It’s so tidy, clean and in logical places for when your busy working on a project. Thank you for sharing your magical space.

[@MistyElam]

Well thank you!! I’m glad to hear that it inspired you. That’s really the main reason to share a craft room tour video. 😊

[@lilly3am]

Screw people and their petty complaints. Room looks great!

[@MistyElam]

Hahaha, EXACTLY!!! 😆😆 Thanks for watching, Lilly!!! And for not complaining about what I did wrong. Lol

[@brendaalaniz-worley4641]

You can tell you have put a lot of thought and time into your lovely space. My favorite color is is teal, so I love your pops of teal....it pairs nicely with the beautiful gray walls. Good job!

[@MistyElam]

Thank you so much, Brenda for noticing. I did put a lot of thought into this. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to do it again any time soon so I wanted to make sure I did it right the first time. 😄 thanks for watching!! 💜

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hi

[@annajaawre7749]

Thank you for showing. You have a scrap paradise! You really inspire me to maybe get my own scrap room. Now a just have a little over loaded corner.

[@MistyElam]

Well thank you so much, Anna!! I'm so glad I could offer some inspiration. I know many people that have crafty corners, I've even seen a craft closet!! I think organization is key in smaller spaces. But if you have the room, I'd say go for it!! My room is my absolute happy place. I can spend hours in here!! In fact, I had to start treating my crafty time like a job and end it at 5pm when my hubby gets home because it felt like we never saw each other!! Anyway, thank you so much for watching my video. I hope you get your scrap room!! 💜

[@audrafaith20]

Love your desk and risers setup. Would love a video on how you set that up.

Awesome tour=) What a beautiful, organized and colorful craftroom!!!

You had me at Evernote! ♥ I would love a drawer by drawer tour. Maybe break it up into short videos? 🤔 Thank you for taking the time to make this fabulous video. Don't mind the naysayers. They could always click off. 👍

[@MistyElam]

Hahaha, isn’t Evernote amazing?!!? I don’t know what I’d do without it nowadays... I actually just posted a drawer video (for lack of a better title) today. I don’t have much in them, but I went thru them thoroughly. It’s included in my 2K giveaway video. I just combine them instead of doing 2 separate videos. I don’t like being on that side of the camera so the less I have to be, the better. 🤓 I agree, I don't understand why people continue to watch a video if they don't like it. Like you said, just click off of it!!

[@bcfriardoyle7697]

You’re at the door. I’m already excited. Of course we all like to see how we organize! I’m at the VERY lucky to have a room to share with guests stage. And my stuff is mis matched, but who cares- we have a spot to craft! That was the commercial break. N O W ...back to you! 💖🦩

[@MistyElam]

Hahaha, well thank you so much! Exactly, who cares?? As long as you have a place to craft, that's the most important thing!! I've seen some really great dining room/craft rooms and bedroom/craft rooms. Your happy place can be anywhere your craft supplies are. Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it. 💕

[@terrihernandez2298]

Thank you for sharing your lovely craft room it is definitely is all crafters dream to create in such a spacious, organized space. Myself have my daughters piano in it which as you know it literelly hogs an entire corner anywho nevermind the unhappy complainers moment I sense a negative vibe in a sentence/complaining I would choose to stop & go on to the next life is tooo short to have/listen to others complaints. Watching your room tour INSPIRES me to create my room. Thanks again!!!!

[@MistyElam]

The awesome thing is I've seen people create a crafty corner in their kitchen or in their bedroom!! The smaller the space, the more important it is to keep things organized, I would think. I thought about what I wanted for about a year before I did anything so planning it out based on your available space is another idea too. Did you see how crazy my room was before I redesigned it??? If you haven't watched my "Before" video, you should. It was chaos... Thanks so much for watching, Terri!!

[@lollabells6121]

I love your craft room! I'm so sorry about your kitty! I have two and they are my babies! I agree with so many below, GIRL YOU BE YOU! If people get upset because you scratch on something or breath to loud OH WELL! People find the darnest things to complain about, CONGRATS ABOUT YOUR ROOM! ENJOY IT! I am still trying to get mine together!! You did a fantastic job! I just wanted to say, CONGRATS and LOVE IT!

[@MistyElam]

Aww, thank you so much for your sweet comment and condolences. I'm just glad I got to spend time with her in my new craft space. I'll forever have great memories of her sleeping next to me while I create. I know, it's such a bad habit of mine. I let other's sour my good mood, it's something I'm working on changing. I don't know why I let some people get to me like they do!! I thought with age, came peace of mind... I'm still working to obtain that. LOL Well I hope your space all comes together like you envision. It's fun mapping it all out. Not so fun "cleaning" it all out.... =) . Thanks again for your kind words. And for watching too, of course!! I appreciate you

[@lollabells6121]

Misty Elam your welcome! I have started making more progress so it’s coming together! I agree it’s fun planning but the cleaning part is the not so fun part. Many people I know who do videos & even blog say the negativity is one of the hardest things to overcome. Honestly probably one of the reasons I have never started doing so. But my mom & grandmother always use as say, you can’t please everyone so just do the best you can! As long as it’s makes you happy! Congratulations again, and I hope you are enjoying your room!

[@plethoraofpaper6388]

Okay - WOW! I have watched a million craft room tours trying to improve my craft room and yours is the best! Thank you so much. I have never seen syringes used for glue. Does it give a lot of precision? Where did you get that huge roll of foam tape? What type of stencil brushes do you use and where can I get them? Again - beautiful craft room. I am a new subscriber.

[@MistyElam]

BEST COMPLIMENT EVER!!!! Wow, thank you, Mary!! You just made my day!! I'm so sorry I didn't reply sooner. I've been in and out of the hospital for the last month, so I'm a little behind on replying. The glue syringe is a dream!! It not only allows great precision, but it doesn't ever dry out (as long as you keep the cap on). I've tried soooo many of those clog free precision tips and they all dried out on me. I will never buy another non clogging precision tip again. I highly recommend it. There's a link in the video description to the gal's Etsy site that I get them from. As for the ginormous roll of foam tape, I got that from Amazon. Stencil brushes I use are called Clarity Brushes. If you go to my blog post here, I have links to everything I could find at the bottom of the post. happyinkdesigns.wordpress.com/2019/05/25/craft-room-tour-video/ . I hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching and for being a new subscriber!! Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@darlenedesario2811]

Your room is amazing! I must admit im a little jealous, its a dream. Im new to craftig and on a very low budget its either spend my little bit on organization or buy crafty goodies to try something new. So far the goodies have win but Im sure once I actually accumulate a "stash " that organization will become important. Congrats on the new space. No need to apologize for filming. We all need to spread kindness and positivity. Ignore those that chose to try and bring one down, its sad but some only know negativity and are miserable. Your hair is beautiful btw. Tyfs!

[@MistyElam]

Hi, Darlene!! I remember being in that EXACT same position. Spend the little I had on crafty goodness, or spend it on "making a craft room". GO FOR THE CRAFTY GOODNESS!!! The organization is optional... =) LOL I couldn't agree with you more about spreading more kindness and positivity. And on very note, I'm going to be giving away some of the supplies I've accumulated but never touched. I just haven't quite decided how to go about it yet. I'm taking a lot of the big stuff to goodwill today, that came out of my craft room, but I want to give away some of the smaller items. So as soon as I figure that out, I'll share it here on YT. I just really appreciate that you and all these other people actually take the time to watch my videos and leave me such wonderful, positive feedback. It fills me heart every time. So I’m working on that. =)

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

Great room! I haven't been able to get into mine and working at the kitchen table and I have been taking everything out going through it boxing it up so I can redo my room!! I told my husband I needed not only more storage but a new work station that would fit in the corner of the room! I see so many people using those legs on there stations and desks but can you sit in a chair and work with them? I am not a stand up crafter.. I have to sit while I craft because of my back and legs now.

[@MistyElam]

Hi there!! I'm so sorry I didn't respond sooner. I'm not sure if you've seen any of my other videos, but I was suffering from health issues all year up until June so I'm still trying to play catch up on everything. You may have already redid you whole space by now, it's been so long. But just in case you haven't, yes you can still sit at the ikea desks although you might need a higher than normal chair. Like a barstool or I think the chair I use is called a drafting chair. It can go high or low. If you noticed in my video, the right part of my desk is high enough to stand at (or sit), but the left part is as low as a normal desk and my chair works for both. I don't stand too often either so a drafting chair is perfect. I hope that helps.

Thanks for the video, got some good ideas, I have a small corner in the garage where my husband and I share a space.. so watching different vids to get storage ideas, & organization. Things to motivate me but make it functional. Anyway I've seen the table propped up like that in some and I have an extra top in storage, since we moved two years ago there's no space, but I would love to do that to mine. How did you prop those tops on top of the other table like that? The risers? Are they screwed on? Do the legs come small like that? My tables are Alex from IKEA and I see they are what is used majority of them anyway.. and would love to get that extra room for my trimmers and stuff. Can I get those risers from IKEA? Thank you and even though its later I am sorry about your cat. I had mine for 14 years and had to move and couldn't take her with me. I miss her 5 years later still.

[@MistyElam]

Hey, a small corner is better than no corner, right? 😉 Yes, I got them at Ikea. I have links to everything in my blog post, if you want to be taken directly to them. Just scroll down to the bottom and look for Capita. That's what they're called. happyinkdesigns.wordpress.com/2019/05/25/craft-room-tour-video/ They are definitely one of my best purchases.

Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to add all the links to your blog - so helpful! Love the wall mounts for your lights - definitely going to add those to my wish list. I like the idea of the "project bin" so you have everything you used organized and as silly as it might seem I love how you put the labels on your Alex drawers so you can see them but they aren't so in your face. And I'm so sorry for the loss of your cat - she was beautiful.

[@MistyElam]

Hi Samantha. I'm so glad to hear that you found the links helpful. I know I personally love it when items are list and linked and just a click away. That project bin was just a happy accident! I didn't really have any idea what I was going to do with it, I just really liked it and thought I could store something in it. But it's turned out to be very helpful. YES!! I love how the labels are a little more discreet this way too. That little dip is perfect!! It's the small things like that that make me the happiest. =) Thank you so much for your kind words about my kitty. She was my little shadow.

Great room tour. I love my Cricut and Silhouette machines and yes I use them both...lol. Before purchasing a Cricut, I always recommend to download the software since it is free. You can play around with design space and make sure you like it. I think the Cricut Design Space is more user friendly. Hope that helps. TFS

[@MistyElam]

Oh, that's a great idea!! I never thought of that!! Thank you!!

[@shabbychicchick]

@@MistyElam You're welcome. I like to design in both programs. It depends on what I am wanting as to which machine. I have heard they are coming out with a Cameo4 which will cut thick materials....which sounds like a Cricut maker to me and will be about $400. I went ahead and bought the Cameo 3 as a backup to my Cameo 2 since I have a maker. I just love my machines and being able to change sizes of images. Hope this helps

[@MistyElam]

WHAT?!?! You don't really make cards anymore?!!? Is that a thing??? just kidding, I hear ya. It can be very time consuming. Now that I have my surgery out of the way, I'm going to try and only be in my craft room until my kid gets home from school. I want to try and treat it like a job so that I'm not in my happy place night and day. My hubby was starting to forget what I looked like. =) If it were just me, I would be in there night and day, but being in the hospital always makes me realize what I'm missing out on being in my cave all of the time. Man, there's gotta be someone that would LOVE to put your supplies to good use. You don't know any other cardmakers in your area? I don't. I don't know anyone that makes cards like I do where I live. What about selling some of it? At least make a little money back...? I miss chatting with you too, my friend. I would say we can still chat on Facebook, but I never get on Facebook... I want to try and be more active in creative groups on there so hopefully I'll be on there more often. I'll poke in and say hey from time to time. =) . Thanks so much for watching, Shauna.

Your room looks amazing Misty! So organized and so pretty looking. I too, am loving that thing you have to hold your 6x6 pads in, how perfect for them. I've never had a Silhouette but they look more complicated to me than the Cricut. I love my Cricut Explore and Maker and if you go Cricut, may I suggest the Maker. I don't think any machine is without it's issues though, but I have been happy with my Cricut's. Did you get the risers at IKEA as well? I too like those as it does give extra space. What is the size of your room Misty? Your room looks beautiful Misty and you have given me a lot of ideas for my room. Yes, I do love watching craft room tours too to get ideas and I just like to see them. Hugs, Brenda

Hi Brenda!! Ok, I'll do some research on the Cricut Maker. Thanks for your feedback on that. Yes, the risers are from Ikea. The supplies list wouldn't fit in the description below but I have links to it all over on my blog, if you want to check them out. They are called capita. It's soooo nice having that much more surface space. As you saw in the first video, I have A LOT of schtuff. lol The room is 10' x 12.5'. I'm glad you got some ideas here. That makes me very happy. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your opinion on the machines. And I hope you're having a wonderful Memorial weekend. Take care, my friend.

[@MistyElam]

You know, I was happy in my cluttered space. There’s nothing wrong with that. But then the room kind of took over and it just felt.... overwhelming. It made me feel anxious and that wasn’t what I wanted to feel in my craft room. So if you feel creative and content in your space, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. 😊 When I stopped feeling inspired, that’s when I started to plan out a change and started saving for it. So I think it just depends on how you feel in your space. 💜💜

[@MistyElam]

Wonderful! Thanks for your input.

[@MsValerieDev]

I have a craft room around 16 x 16. The closet is half the size of yours and kind of pie shape. Weird I know. But it is daunting thinking of the price os shelving units or cabinets, and all your storage ideas. . . Right now everything is still boxed. I love how you organized everything.

[@MistyElam]

It can get very overwhelming very quick. It didn’t work for me because I live in a very small town, but searching for salvaged cabinets might be something to look into...? It could be an inexpensive option. Even if only temporary until you have time to plan it all out. I think that’s why I was able to create the space I had envisioned, because I took the time to research and plan it all out for quite awhile and during that time, I was able to save some money aside to make it all happen. Well good luck with your space. I’m sure you’ll be happy in your space no matter what you do. 😊

[@MsValerieDev]

Thank you for the suggestion.

[@carmen5ive]

I love your room! Your room your landed in my recommended box and I’m glad it did. Gave me a lot of good ideas and love some of the organizing pieces you have. I just went through a big purge of my craft stuff so I’m looking at organizing what I have. I’m currently emptying out the basement of all things we don’t need in order to create a craft space. I do quilting as well so it would be a nice big area to work. I really need to get back into cardmaking as I cannot bring myself to get rid of all that stuff. 😅

[@MistyElam]

Hi Tiffany!! I only wish I were that organized with the rest of my life... LOL I'm working on it. =) Thank you!! Ya know, I've had amazing feedback from both my before and after video, no nasty comments. But there was a woman who did exactly what I did, just sharing her space and more than 1 person took the time to leave her unpleasant remarks. The most ridiculous one being that she was breathing too heavily into the microphone and that it was really annoying. I empathized with her because at least for me, I felt very vulnerable opening up a part of my home for anyone to see, especially my "before" video. And to have even 1 person criticize what she was doing, was really sad to me. Anyway, that's what was on my mind when I said that. So far I've had only positive feedback, thankfully, but I open myself up to criticism too when I make the decision to share this information. And I totally agree with ya, that's their problem, not the one sharing her home with us. I just felt bad for her, ya know what I mean? I did some research on craft room tours before I filmed mine and the shaking of the camera was another complaint. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to watch it, right???? Some people, I tell ya... Thanks so much for watching my video, Tiffany. I really appreciate you taking the time. P.S. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, I've been in and out of the hospital for the past month and I'm just now catching up on my comments. Take care ~

So very sorry for the loss of your cat. It’s amazing how strangely empty and quiet the house seems after, even if you still have other pets or children, theirs just such a void😢. When I started crafting it was 30 years ago I was making cards with stamps before it was really a thing. I don’t do that much, if ever, anymore. My latest bender is junk journal making, art journaling, painting and a bunch of other things. I’m alone here in the only one who wanted to see how you used your drawers under your desk. I was thinking of getting them for under my counters and curious how you stored your supplies in them.

[@MistyElam]

Thank you, Jeanne. It definitely is a void. I have other cats and a dog, but it's just not the same. I just posted a video today of just the drawers, if you're interested. I combined it with my 2K giveaway video so I didn't have to be on that side of the camera twice.... lol

I read through the list and the comments and did not see my question addressed. Where did you get the clear sliding trays that are in some of your Alex drawers? I bought a couple packages of clear, divided trays (2 sets of 3 trays) that look like they are meant to slide over drawers to make them multi-layer, but they didn't allow the drawers to close. Currently I have them stacked in my wide Alex drawer unit, but I had wanted to use them for easy access to small embellishments. I love how clean and organized your room is, and subbed to your channel in hopes of making my smaller room look similar. Off to see the before video, which may resemble my creative chaos!

[@sherrygraham8650]

That’s awesome, I hope you never have to use it.

[@MistyElam]

Sherry Graham thanks, me too!! I had someone watching me load up my car when we were out of town once and as soon as my car was loaded and I went back to check our hotel room for anything I might’ve left, they broke out two of my windows and stole everything out of my vehicle. That terrified me that I was being watched and I had no idea. So having some thing like a taser just makes me feel a tiny bit safer. Everything was replaceable except they got my laptop and an external hard drive that I had in my computer bag which had every photo and video from the time my son was born until he was about eight years old on it. That was irreplaceable and of course I never got it back. We actually chased the people that did it while I was on the phone with the cops but the cops told me to stop because we just didn’t know if they had weapons on them and we had two kids in the car so we let them go. The good news is they were eventually caught but none of my items were recovered. 😒 All I cared about was that hard drive. I would’ve paid THEM just to get it back...

Absolutely!! Unfortunately I haven’t been crafting in about a year thanks to awful health problems but as soon as I’m able, I will be back in there.
