Containers Defunkified

Is it only me, or do we all do this?
If you know me, you know I craft Everywhere.
I craft in the livingroom, in the rec room, at the cottage even when we go on trips!
So in order to bring my supplies with me, I use small containers.
Which works great....except I never seem to empty the containers when I am done.






















Then I can't find a certain supply that I want and I have to go searching until I find it.
Which I end up wasting valuable crafting time trying to find it.
When I emptied these containers there were so much stuff in some of them, that were just taking up space.
Here is a video I did a while ago on just this.
If you would rather watch it on my YouTube channel....here is the link "Tracy's Treasures24"



I hope you have had a great and creative weekend :)

Tracy :)

  2. I have that problem of stashing things and forgetting which drawer or container I put them in. Happens way too often actually!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

  3. I lose things on my desk that I could have sworn were just in my hand, so I'd be in big trouble if I scrapped anywhere other than my office. ;)

  4. As you know I also craft in my "office" in the livingroom, kitchen table and at the cottage. I also lose lots of time looking for things, Right now I'm doing most of my crafting at the cottage. Looking forward to viewing your video.

  5. I am still searching for those plastic Ikea containers you have. For the other comments, this seems to be a problem we all share - thanks for leading the way to better storage :)

  6. I'm a thrower-inner of containers for sure! I move from kitchen to breakfast room to dining room to scrap and have containers all over :) But I pretty much know where stuff is. You're a great organizer!

  8. I just consolidated a bunch of stuff in my studio too - because I tend to spread it out in too many containers. And sometimes when I upgrade the storage, I don't do anything with the old ones. So last week I took containers specific to crafting to my LSS for consignment and this week I took a bunch of general purpose plastic bins and other boxes to the church rummage sale. Don't you love it when things are streamlined - or in your jargon defunkified!!
