Me and My Space #13 - Decorative Boxes Hide lots!

Hello and welcome back to some normal! Today is Wednesday and that is my "Me and My Space Day!" Today I thought I would show you some of my pretty boxes. I know I promised to show off my Die storage before CHA.. but well...  they are a mess right now, I have been busy with them and re-organizing them to fit new things :0) So that will come soon.

So today I am going to show you the top of my left shelving unit...

The backside of my craft room is a bit lower in height so it makes my shelving units look really tall.. LOL The top of my shelves have these really pretty boxes. I love that they make me look really tidy and organized - even if I am not totally together. OH and I wanted to also show that I love to use vintage items for storage. I love kitchen tin items. This bread/cake box was an awesome find at a shop about a year ago. I think I paid like $10 for it. And it is perfect to hold those odd things that I don't like sitting out. Like that large staple tool I had to have and hate to use... and other tools that fall into that wish I hadn't purchased category and make me feel guilty to see out.

But back to the boxes. On top of this shelf is 6 decorative boxes that I purchased at Tuesday Morning. I think they are just too pretty with the butterflies and ribbons.

In these boxes are my not used to often items...

Clays and cutters for clay... went through a stage where I loved working with this stuff.. and making my own embellishments - some day I'll pull this out and do some more :0)

Quilling - this stuff is really fun - got hooked on it from a kit club that sent out a sample - and again love making these things as embellishments - one day I'll pull it out too... but at least I know if I want a quilled flower I have the stuff to do it!

Cuttlebug dies - and metal stencils - Need to look through this box and try and use more of these. I have had most of this for YEARS. And need to see what I have here that I my want to play with and may feel new to me.

This box is my fun foams, felt and hand made papers. No guilt here for having another "technique" I boxed up. I do pull from this box and use these items for current projects. :0)

Now this box I LOVE... I use to go to lots of estate sales and garage sales and I picked up lots of vintage ric rac and seam binding and such - really cheap... This box is my vintage goodies. And I love digging through this box!

And shocker here... the 6th box is empty and ready for me to organized in another area.  Yes... an empty box! Whoo HOoo!

Now I also wanted to show you a decorative part of my room... the little wall next to this shelf has a couple of my older handmade items.

 

The framed scrapbook page is one of the very last pages I did.  I made it at one of the last crop nights at the local scrapbook store before it closed.. sadly... this was a few years ago. The only reason I made the page was cuz I wanted to use the new Disney Cricut cartridge with Eeyore LOL.  And it was perfect for Diego our first baby donkey. He is a lot like Eeyore - a slow moving pudgie donkey that is totally lovable. 

Below it is a scrapbook clock that I made for a class I taught many many moons ago. Love making these clocks but now with my stamps... (come back tomorrow and see my newest one.. wink wink... ) but this clock has photos in it of Hubby and the donkeys - all in Donkey Time you know! And it has kept running right on time for all these years - amazing considering it is only a 2.99 clock!

Well hope you liked to peek in my boxes. And seeing a bit more of my craft room. See you tomorrow with some new "time" -

HUGS and-
