    Hmmm, maybe you can challenge yourself to make a journal or two using only your beautiful ready made items to help pear down your stash? Yes, would love to watch more decluttering - gives us inspiration to work on our own spaces with you! :)

    Lol- typical hoarder moves- “I never use these… I’ll keep them for now…”
    “These don’t really belong here, but they fit, I can change it later…”
    “I can figure that out later…”
    “I’ve donated these before … but took them out of the donation bag…I never use them…”
    Might I suggest trying the Kon Marie method: instead of trying to figure out “what to get rid of” (which can be incredibly difficult) come at it from a different angle: “do I LOVE this?”
    When you’re on the fence- ask- “does this fit into my ideal picture of my studio?”

    I find the difficulty in decluttering is the part of going through everything and re-remembering what I have and getting excited to use it again, but I only remember when I go through it all them I forget them again. Only way I remember them is when I go through everything and I only do that when I am decluttering. It’s annoying

    Many of love to make the embellishments and have tons of them ourselves. As someone else commented, it would be nice to watch you assemble a journal using what you made already and how you pick out things in your stash to match. I rarely follow anyone like i did a few years ago since everyone started dedigning their own digi kits. On occasion I'll purchase one. I enjoy watching the process of they put them together.

    It was fun watching you declutter your Scrap Box! It was interesting to see how your style has evolved. Thanks for showing us that it is “ok” to get rid of things you’ve made or purchased, but know you won’t ever use - I have a hard time letting go of stuff! My things are stored on shelves in those beautiful boxes with printed images on them - the trouble is that I can’t see what is inside of the boxes, so I am constantly shuffling boxes around and then I get frustrated. I need to follow your lead and get to work on organizing my stuff!!! I would love to see more videos of you tackling the other sections of your Scrap Box.

I just use Scotch Create glue in them and they work great (best glue ever!! for everything). It was very satisfying watching you organized. I'm amazed the amount of work you do, that you actually don't have a lot of stuff! I think I have way more than that so I guess I'm just a hoarder vs a an actual creator. LOL!

    When I clean and find something I haven't used but am not ready to let it go, I put a brightly colored note or tag on it and schedule a day for playing with the tagged items. Sometimes it's not until I use them and get dissatisfied with the outcome that they end up in the donate pile. It's not always a quick decision, but cleaning day is not always the decision day for certain items.

    It's so satisfying to see the results of your organising/declutter.
    I would use the wooden spools for narrow ribbon and lace, maybe twine or similar.
    I don't have much craftsupply, it all fits in one Ikea Råskog rolling cart. I go through and declutter it every now and then, when it looks messy. I have a craft room where there is a printer and a cutting machine and I keep my sewing machine and toolbox there. I also keep some books and paperpads (aquarelle and scetchpads) that are not in use.
    Results after declutter is always so satisfying.
    Also it's a way for you to show what you have and how you keep it all. It is easy as a viewer to think crafter's on RUclips have it all. This video is keeping it real.
    I would enjoy more of this kind of videos.

    So tidy! Indeed it is true that our style and tastes change with time. When I was homeschooling the grandkids everything was bright and neon which they loved. I enjoy more subdued and gentle colours now. Hugs and blessings, ❤️🤗🇨🇦

    I love your craft space. I live in the UK in a shared house and I have a super small space. I hope to be able to return to my city one day and then I will create a nice space for my crafts. It occurs to me that with all the things you don't need, you could make a second-hand market so that people who don't have so many resources can buy nice things at a good price. A big hug for you Barbara.

    that's a great storage system! Yes it's hard to be creative when your supplies aren't organised. Its hard to categorise things sometimes and our spaces are never quite the right size and shape 🙈. I have wheely drawers to store punches and stuff out of sight but they're really messy right now 🙈. Glycerine is so handy! Pop a drop in your brush washing water to condition the bristles! I love your tins 😍😍😍. Yeah my lace scraps are in a bag in my baskets. Oh, scaps 🙈. I think organised is as good as throwing away lol. Tina made a journal just to use all her ready made ephemera. Yes I'm happy to watch more. You've inspired me to do some sorting, I'm going to be in a slump until I do it lol. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖

    I finally finished organizing my craft supply closet. It's a regular closet and I'm just beginning to collect all the things for junk journaling so I greatly appreciate watching how you put things together! Also I loved the idea of making a stamping block with big washers as I happen to own some. I so enjoyed seeing your "makes". I'm similar to you in that my craft table is in a room with couches and chairs, but I really like that because it's homey. Thank you for sharing your inspirations with us, Barbara!!

    Morning Barbara, this was sooo interesting to see how you organise your supplies. It gives us the inspiration to declutter and organise our own craft rooms. I love your craft cupboard, it is so cute and totally handy, fits into any room and will always look part of the furniture, not out of place at all. All the wonderful goodies you have, maybe you can give some as Happy Mail, I am sure there will be someone who will enjoy that which you have made, especially, and as you say is no longer your style. Lovely ephemera. Well done with the work you have already done, BUT........... maybe we could see more of your clean out??????? It is great inspiration and so interesting to see what another crafter actually has. As always, I am sending Blessings and hugs from Cape Town. Diana

    SO fun to watch; definitely want to see more! Use your beautiful vintage spools for the lace ribbon :) My lace scraps go into a large glass jar, but I have the space. ADORE the clusters! I have two craft rooms and can tell you it does NOT get easier! A full pot of extra caffeinated coffee will usually get me through a room ;)

  • @juliekeil8791

    Oh my gosh Barbara! That was very difficult to watch. When you got to the ephemera pieces that you’d made. I was saying, oh! So cute!WAIT! Stop! How’d you make that? With every piece! I’ll have to rewatch on slow mo ten more times. Hahaha
    I decided to organize my laces.
    That turned into a complete room overhaul. I’ve been working on it for months. Nothing fancy. I had a mish mash of shelving units that I drug out and mounted 15 shelves, that match, from Home Depot. So much better! Almost done.
    Love you, your art, and your videos! 💖

    Barbara, that glue with the really fine tip that you said always clogs, put a few drops of fingernail polish remover in it. It works like a charm. If your Inka gold wax ever dries out drop warm water in it. It's water based and rehydrate beautifully.

  • @vickirivera2240

    Yes please do more. You have many many things that I do not have and yet I can learn cuz my stuff is starting to grow to. I've already discovered that being a junk journal or does mean you have to continually arranged and rearranged and organize and reorganize. I'm also having people give me all kinds of things useful things but not useful if I don't find a good place to keep them. So this was very good thank you so much

  • @tracylopez5090

    thanks for sharing this video. I love organizing and learned to because of having small space to have my craft and sewing supplies. My tidbits of lace and ribbon that are small I put in an antique canning jar, or truthfully jars. hahaha You can see everything and it keeps it contained.

    More decluttering videos would be very welcome. My craft area is always in need of some attention. Sometimes watching someone else get rid of a few supplies gives us permission to do the same. I agree with earlier comments...it would be fun to see you do a journal using the ephemera you have found lurking in your space. Thank you for this inspiration.

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but those thread spools can be used as ink daubers. Adhere the little sponge to one side and you have a nice ink dauber!
