No, that hasn't happened...yet. To avoid such a thing from happening, today I'm setting about the business of emptying those bags and boxes and piles, sorting my way through them and trying hard not to get too distracted by all the wonderful things I'm finding buried underneath.

Here's a photo of my progress. This isn't exactly an after picture but it's not really a before picture either. It's a midstream picture.
In other news, remember the squashed roller skate? Well, I think I fixed it. Not all the way but at least it resembles a skate. Meanwhile, I won both of the ebay auctions for the other pairs of skates, which are both a bit larger than my original one. I'll have to think of something fun to do with this sudden wealth of itty bitty roller skates.

So here we are on Day 9, if you can believe it.
Here's the beautiful matchbox 9, made by Cammy Pollack. (sorry about the blurry photos...I think there's a peanut-butter-and-jelly thumbprint on my lens)

And inside, a sweet little ornament.

Today's door reveals another little horse...

So that's what you were doing while we were talking. :) I especially like the jar full of felted balls -- yummy!
Oh Amy...I would love to be the one to help you organize! I don't have the crew that Oprah has but it would be fun. I love it and have been known to help my big sister organize her areas where she has stashed and dashed. I think it is a trait of the real creative ones!
I think your studio is just fine the way it is!!!!

I wish my craft room looked half as good as yours is when it's midsteam!!!
Hi Amy,
I left a message for you over on Etsy, but was wondering if you could email me. I have a quick question for you.
Thanks,

Hey there Amy, just wanted to say I love your workspace, I purchased some red/white bakers twine from your OpenSky shop, just wondering if that has been shipped?? I can't wait! :)
Amy, I do the very same thing, except I am a bag lady. I work full time at a university and carry a bag to work- you know, the canvas kind. I have to take magazines to pass along, gummy bears, a new box of tea, important papers, blah-blah. It wouldn't be that bad, but instead of cleaning out the last bag, I grab a new bag and before I know it, I'm thinking "where was that..." and have a pile of several bags sitting in my bedroom. ugh.
Your skates make me think...I believe my Barbie doll had the same skates...now where did I put those? (YES, I still have them...somewhere!)
Hugs,

Hi Amy!
I've been trying to clean and organize my craft space for well over a year now. My problem is that I finally get my self into a cleaning frenzy and then I stumble across something I need to sit down and create. I end up pulling out bunches of stuff that I just put away. *sigh* Oh well, that is half the fun, isn't it?
Good luck!
