on another note

a couple of weeks ago i went into a few black days and saw no hope for my crafting infact the only thing i could think of was slipping the lot ( and i have thousands of pounds worth of stash) i got told something whilst going into one of my dark days and it was enough to push me all the way. anyway i'm out of it again and happy again but i've lost my mojo at the min :( i don't seem to be able to think up anything with my card making, i have however finished my blackrose cross stitch and started on another flower one

next drawer is paper and random paper packs

bottom drawer is full of glitter card i've got a thing for glitter and love using it in my crafting projects

this is the cubbies above my desk they've got my mini drawers and the shelf has some of my boxes and my embossing boards the keep calm drink coffee tin holds black and white cross stitch threads

and beside my desk which i'm slowly sorting out is 2 book cases which holds my cricut and paper and the furthest one has jars of beads and glitter and also where i keep my shimmer mists

I've been having a sort out round mu crafting desk today, i wanted all my promarkers S.N and sakura pens where i can see the colour i want and have them at hand as you can see i've got a full set of the pro's lol :D the storage boxes on to are card candi with some of my pots of glitter and gems, i also managed to find a home for my big shot too. maybe now i'll find my mojo again as it has been gone missing for a little while now :(
