Craft room clean out ... There is no time like the present !

It's always a chore cleaning out the craft room.. And if your anything like me there is a lot of it to clean/organise. I am lucky to have a whole bedroom dedicated to my craft (not to the like of my husband) and this causes me to overfill and overbuy quantities of products. I am on an endeavour to tidy up and organise my room and will be uploading ideas as I use them to help others organise their creative mess .. !! 
Happy sorting..
