Craft Room Makeover - Part 1

Hi Cricutjunkies,

My crafting goal for 2015 was to have a more organized and functional craft room.  I was in such a crafting funk that my creativity was suffering so I decided it was time for a complete Makeover.

This is my Craft Room before the makeover Click Here  to see the YouTube video.

The first thing I did was create a list of needs vs wants, and based my budget around my needs. My budget was very tight so I knew I would have to use my existing furniture. A month before I started my makeover, I purged my room twice, getting rid of old scrap items that I no longer use or need. After I purged we moved everything into our game room (see below) then the fun began.

I was shocked to see how much furniture/stuff/mess we moved out of a 120 sq ft room. 

  I decided to re-purpose some this furniture.

Don't forget to watch for the reveal. 

Show Your Punch Storage

Hello Cricutjunkies,
Christina at Creations with Christina is having a link party. Show your punch storage. What a great idea. I don't have alot of punches only because I have not figured out adequate storage. Most of my scrap room is from Ikea and I have considered the rail system but I don't have a free wall that I am willing to give up.

I use these baskets (dollar store) for smaller punches

and other tools because they are really sturdy with

large handles and very portable.

I have one drawer to store larger punches.

I guess when I get more I will have to purchase another drawer.

FYI the Martha Stewart punches I buy at

Ross from 3.99 - 5.99 GREAT DEAL
